Yes and no. We're still going to have to manufacture everything according to EU and global standards if we want to sell stuff outside our own borders. It's just now we're about to lose any influence and votes over how those standards are made.

You may (and quite rightly) say that EU elections are not decided on these issues and particular EU Parliament representatives have been useless and actively undermining the EU, but that's not really the EU's fault.
You wouldn't want the unemployed masses of Europe and America to feel a connection with chinese workers, would you? Better to cover a story on how they're stealing our jobs and making billions.
They love it because they have the advertising and peer pressure shoved down their throat so hard. Parents can and evidently do do better.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I love the board game / toys sections in Barnes and Noble. I think it was a smart business move and I think they play to the market well to put learning/creative/"nerdy" toys alongside books.
I was under the impression that the "disaster" was entirely intentional and for profit.
Problem is, where do we get a black hole to poke?

UCLA GCG and other efforts have failed to image occlusion of orbiting stars or gravitational lensing effects while viewing Sagittarius A* (the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy), thus it may not actually be a black hole (instead, it may be even stranger, like an absolutely gigantic plasmoid that somehow ties the room together).

I know they meant theoretically poke it, but we've been having trouble finding nearby ones.

Bot sure if direct democracy is ideal. Might result in zero trade agreements (some trade agreements are good).

But more/full transparency around trade agreements would be nice. And mechanisms to keep lobbying out of them.

There is no bribery. No money changes hands. Not even “campaign donations”, which is the US term for bribery.

Maybe it’s unfair that industry is better able to organize and make their case. But it’s not corruption, and not bribery.

Plenty of consumer-advocacy groups are also active in lobbying. Hell, this article by github is lobbying as well.
I wonder if the capital structure of a business determines whether it continues to operate. If the debt-holders thought they could maximize value by keep the stores open, they would. Instead they have decided that liquidation maximizes value. If there were no debt, equity holders might still decide that being bought out by a company that could better use the buildings would maximize value.
Ask HN: Unemployed for years. Am i in the wrong business?
in the past 4 years, i've spent far more time doing tech interviews than I have actually doing work. I'm all for resiliency and not giving up, but am I barking up the wrong tree at this point? I'm not hearing any feedback when I get rejection notices except that they went with someone else - getting hard to know if its me or them at this point!

Any advice would be awesome.
Visualisation usually has much much smaller scope than game development. So frequent vs infrequent developer problems apply here, as in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16561901

Any new concept or tool dependency, e.g. 3D editor or shader, is a pain point here since it increases project compexity superlinearly.

Also, many "game engines" which aim to speed up development impose a lot of constraints on client code. For example, they're not compatible with non-GL windows from same process or with external event loop. I made a mistake trying to use a few of those and impedance mismatch was really painful. Had to divest to plain OpenGL.
I totally don't get how this could be useful without smart glasses. Most people already spend to much time staring at their phones and with this crap will be even worst. Such solutions were already years ago and were not adopted because phones were too weak and software unusable. Nothing has changed except that we have better phones and rest is still a crap.

I just wait for someone to fall under the car collecting gold circles...

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, AR have a huge potential but not for flying emojis or playing RPG games running all over the city like a maniac with a huge phone.

What is the breakdown of degrees? What source leads you to think most have practical degrees?

I found this link, https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cta.asp, that says “Of the 1.9 million bachelor's degrees conferred in 2015–16, over half were concentrated in six fields of study: business (372,000 degrees), health professions and related programs (229,000 degrees), social sciences and history (161,000 degrees), psychology (117,000 degrees), biological and biomedical sciences (114,000 degrees), and engineering (107,000 degrees).”

I don’t know how you define practical, but this makes me think many, perhaps most are not practical if you mean worth going into substantial ($50k+) student loan debt.

I would highly recommend Netflix's "The toys that made us". It has 4 episodes on GI Joe, Star Wars, He Man and Barbie. It should appeal the entrepreneurial spirit, nostalgia and in general love for toys and makers.
Are you still reading here? I hope you are all right. Reading back over your reply to me I got the impression that the someone who blocks instances of you helping yourself is a relative, and then blames you as a victim. It is so hard to read online posts, I might be wrong. You probably don’t want to discuss it anyway, and I’m not some nut always writing here.

(If it is a relative, doing that, that is a dysfunctional pattern, the truth is they will keep playing the game, but probably not evict you.) It may be even some person’s way of telling you you are depressed - weird but true - some don’t know how to do this. (In other words, they don’t know how to communicate this stuff, may care for you, and may be depressed themselves - I don’t know, I’m not a psychologist). Anyway, would be nice to know you are all right, and don’t worry, I won’t post again - just say “I’m still around”, and we will leave it at that. Take care.
I think there are a lot of bad human translators out there...

The number of papers I've read that have very poor grammar, to such an extent it's barely understandable...
Of those many possibilities, Carl Sagan chose the product of pi times the hydrogen spin-flip transition frequency, for use in his novel Contact. In fact, several SETI scientists in Australia had independently arrived at that same target frequency when Carl was writing his novel in 1985, and were already monitoring there. So, great minds think alike (let us hope on other planets, as well as our own!)

If there's clear benefit in trade agreements, they will be reformulated and stripped of earmarks until they are ready to pass.

Note that excessive tariffs are just as easy to unvote directly. "You would want me to over-pay $200 for my iPhone and $2000 for my car, but as of tomorrow you no longer can. Do not ask again."
I think you're discounting something...

If you consider how Google Cardboard works, it exploits the fact that the camera has a field of view - the image is perspective. So when you hold the camera at 10 degrees left from center, it takes the right-most column of pixels... And when you hold the camera at 10 degrees right of center, it takes the left-most column of pixels. And these columns of pixels converge - as though your head were as wide as the distance between those two points where the camera was. (Something like that.)

Point being, if you move the camera through enough points, aimed in enough directions (even if it's on the surface of a sphere, always aimed out), you eventually capture rays of light as though they passed through every voxel in that space, from every direction.

And, just to highlight, they are doing a TON of compression. This is essentially inside-out tomography, or something like that, to derive what the color is, from every voxel, in every direction... And then doing a 5-dimensional compression on that data (2D surface of a sphere of pixels, at every position inside a 3d sphere.)

So, I think it's a much more "decent approximation" than you're giving it credit for.

Or at least, it has the potential to be, if the algorithms are good enough.
I've emailed my MEPs. One is sick but it'll be interesting to see what the others say
Is there something bad that folks that build platforms are able to amass mega fortunes?

Why should I care that Zuckerberg is a zillionaire as long as he didn't took his money from me forcefully? I dislike him profoundly, but his money are his money.

I don't resent him because of his mega fortune and I don't expect an authority to take that mega fortune from him and distribute it to ones like me.

As long as we're focused on how to convince others to rob the rich and distribute their wealth to us instead of focusing on how to create nice things that people want, we'll keep being a break to the mankind.

> Wouldn't it be challenging to create any interesting wearable tech that would actually last 10 years?

Wearable tech has already been around for more than 10 years. Whether it's raincoats with speakers built into the collar, or the digital watches from the 80s. The problem isn't so much wearable tech but rather current tech trends (eg the IoT revolution). To that end, I'd wager something like Pebble (baring hardware failure) would still work in 10 years since the only dependency that has is bluetooth.
I surprised myself by buying a series three Watch recently: I had stopped wearing a watch 20 years ago when my didgeridoo class instructor started teasing me about always looking at my watch. He said that to master the didgeridoo you need a different view of time.

Anyway, the series 3 with LTE wireless is incredibly useful. I often don’t carry my phone when I want to be more offline, but I can get email and messages as needed. Works OK as a phone also. I like that it takes about 1 second to switch between normal and airplane mode when I don’t want to be interrupted.

I understand the article author’s viewpoint, but why not just write apps that only support later models? Doesn’t Apple allow that?

Ah, that's interesting. I lived in Europe briefly, pre-Lisbon, and Europarl then was kind of a powerless institution. But reading this comment sent me to check out the Wikipedia page, and I can see that things have changed:

Could we build in client side encryption of source code inside git, pre-push, and then provide decryption keys to CI services and other software that needs to review code (e.g. in browser decryption)?

We could use pre-shared keys for OSS software available from a separate registry, with a legal disclaimer on there that code hosts cannot use the keys to decrypt the code.

That way github could not physically access your code to run these checks.
I thought about it (prompted by another comment allng these lines) but abandoned the idea assuming I'd only find a few hits. Maybe I should rethink my assumption and give it a serious shot!
They may be aiming for enterprise clients.
Not the OP but I'll answer based on my own opinions:

I wouldn't expect new features but I would expect vulnerabilities to be patched and any cloud dependencies to remain switched on.
Yes. The box comes with Android 6 on it and you replace it with LibreElec. I think they all work with LibreElec these days - no guarantees!
For Lisp in general, Emacs is all a person really needs. That's not a comment about IDE's or editors. Because Emacs has eLisp, there's no need to pick another lisp like Clojure or Common Lisp. eLisp is a full fledged, well documented, Lisp with a lot of features.

It even has built in coverage for interactive user interfaces of windows and menus (though not exactly what people might call GUI's). It can reach out and do networking, though it is closer to the Unix model of making system calls than language libraries or "built in sockets" approaches...but the proof is in tools like Magit and sx-mode or even the older Rmail and GNUS. Basically, Emacs is a virtual Lisp Machine which is why some people are able to live in it all day, everyday, year after year.
SAFE Network: Can Cryptocurrency Power a Secure Network?
I concur. It's amazing how tech is blind of the world beyond the US.
Yeah, it seems like a lot of work and technical know-how to make something that doesn't really sound new.

Seems more like a hipster-ish take on making music. "I only make music on instruments that I can build myself."
Word choice is sometimes very slightly off, but grammar appears to be flawless. As you say, very very impressive.
We have gittorrent already.

Much better alternatives than bittorrent, from privacy and censorship-resistence aspect is, git-ssb which is git on secue scuttlebot aka SSB.

Bittorrent can be censored, the DHT can/is monitored and can be eclipsed to prevent lookups.

Scuttlebot can work offline, over WiFi or sneakernet. Transport layer is encrypted, unlike bittorrent.

Another alternative is Dat Project, which is similar to SSB, but focuses on larger data files.
What exactly do you mean by "people don't trust the US court system"? (exactly what I said) That the guilty go free? (yes, happens all the time.) That the innocent are wrongly convicted? (Yes, just look at all the death row inmates that where proven innocent. Now consider most crimes have lower standards.) That guilty people are not prosecuted? (Yes, look at banking crimes etc.) That justices are corrupt? (Mark Ciavarella is one name among many, and that's without considering politics.) And approximately how many people have this view? (~2/3 of the people I know personally.)

The US is an extremely corrupt society. There are worse places, but it's the difference between standing in shit and swimming in it. You're still in shit either way.

In terms of improving the system. It does what it's intended to do, which has little to do with justice. Keep the powerful out of prison, keep the middle class in line, and keep the lower classes in fear. I am not going to waste my time time to change things, but I am going to call a corrupt system exactly what it is.
That's a pretty accurate assessment of the stores here in the US, too.
The hive mind is alive and well on HN too: I cannot log in from my home internet connection. At some point I offended some tender soul and they banned me, rather than discuss their opposition to my views.
>There's nothing exciting about WebAssembly outside of the web that hasn't already been done with Java (or countless other technologies).

This is completely wrong. The JVM works at an extremely high level. Everything is a garbage collected JVM object. You will never see raw memory at the bytecode layer.

WebAssembly gives you access to the heap and stack at byte granularity. You have to bring your own memory allocator or garbage collector. It's in the damn name: "WebAssembly"

The closest equivalent is NaCL but Google didn't really put a lot of effort into pushing it for wide adoption. If I recall correctly it is also based on LLVM IR and LLVM IR isn't known for maintaining backwards compatibility which turns it into a dead end. Of course if LLVM IR was stable then WebAssembly would be redundant.

We're not living in that world. We're living in a world were WebAssembly is winning not only because of popularity but also because of strong technical fundamentals.

Honestly it seems like HN is blind to fundamentals and everything new is just some hyped up useless piece of shit.

In JS land new = always good. On HN new = always bad.
There is no middle ground. Both sides are equally bad.
No, I paid 23€ for an S905X with 1GB RAM 8 GB Flash.
The Raspberry Pi 3 that it replaced still costs more than 30€ (and it has 0GB flash).

I agree about the ecosystem. As long as you just want to use it as a mediacenter all you care about is that LibreElec with Kodi works well.
If you're involved in a complicated legal case, and you're not 100% sure what you're doing, no speaking to the press at all is your first preference, by a wide margin, and only speaking to the press in carefully considered, short, written statements in your second. Actually speaking to the press is for those with nothing to lose, and plenty to win -- or specialised training.

This is exacerbated by the dynamic that the part of the press you'll feel most eager to speak to, is that which are making upsetting misrepresentations about you or something you care about -- ie., those who have something to gain by manipulating you to say something controversial or incriminating.
As a part-time CS teacher and part-time developer, I can sadly say that quite a few people in the industry are in the wrong line of work.
However, I wouldn't say that interviews are a valid measure of skill. They're short and often done incorrectly.

Before you give up, you might want to seek elsewhere for validation. You might just be choosing the wrong places to interview with.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. I wish I knew more earlier about possible startup failure modes. Sadly only great successes are well communicated. Nobody writes about failure when partner got cold feet or development effort was greatly underestimated or product/market fit was miserable without room for pivoting.

Every time I see Web 3.0 I cringe. The article starts off with a history lesson that is outright wrong. It's like they didn't know what Web 2.0 actually was so decided rather than research, to just make something up. Then base their web 3.0 definition on a faulty 1.0 and 2.0 definition.

You are not Tim O'Reilly or Tim Berners Lee. You can't just make versioning for the web. Web 2.0 was popularized by Tim O'Reilly and the only reason it caught on is because O'Reilly media started putting the name on major conferences. Spending a lot of money and resources on the branding and lobbying to make O'Relly a thought leader in the space not just a blog post. I know, I was there, right in the main auditorium of the Web 2.0 Summit watching the biggest names in tech speak.

It had nothing to do with modem speed. It had more to do with Javascript becoming main stream. To vastly oversimplify:

Web 1.0 = Static documents and basic server-side business logic

Web 2.0 = Dynamic documents with Ajax and interactive page elements* - called RIAA (Rich Internet Applications) or recently SaaS

Web 3.0 = Either the Semantic Web (giving meaning to web content), SPA (Single Page Applications), decentralized web, or blockchain. Depending on who you talk to. Really depending on which industry the person you are talking to wants to promote as the next big thing.

The point is, there is no definition of web 3.0 and there won't be. No one person has the right to version the Internet. Because the web is not one single thing anymore. And that's OK. I just wish people would stop trying to call it that.

* Plus fewr letter "e" before "r", baby blue and/or pink logos, star burst graphics, and mirror images bellow graphics

The Semantic Web never really caught on (though you can still go to Meetups at MIT to discuss it every month) but some of the key concepts did carry over, like having elements in your XML (HTML) that convey the meaning of what is inside.

Edit: Changed "coined" to "popularized"... O'Reilly as not the first to use the term.
FWIW the assistants probably would not recognize most of these people's accents. Not to speak of whether people would be inclined or not to make the effort to speak a foreign language to their assistant.

I'm French, have a good level in English, all my OSes are set in English. I used to use Siri in English but stopped cause it was weird. The ability to select a different language for Siri than the system language is a blessing.

An Indian Bollywood movie comes to my mind, the hero recreates an entire day by planting false memories in the minds of people around him, he exploits the power of visual sense to do so, which sticks quickly to your mind.
