Tasks like "plan a menu for the week" or "go grocery shopping" are the sort of thing where it's a relatively fixed amount of time whether you're shopping/cooking for 1 or for 4 -- i.e. there's an economy of scale on that time.

For me, given the choice of "$30 + the time to plan meals and go shopping" vs "$60", I'll take the latter.

If I had a choice between "$80 + the time to plan meals and go shopping" vs "$160", that time is worth a lot more money.

In addition, set all of this in a New York apartment, where the ability to maintain a well-stocked pantry is limited.
Nothing stops you from using the other keys (cursor, home/end, pg up/dn): they're all bound by default to do those actions too. Personally, I gladly use the shortcuts that don't make me move a hand to the far edges of my keyboards. (one of my keyboards doesn't even have cursor keys, and I get along fine)
Supervisely v2.0: supercharge your training data pipeline with Deep Learning
I tend to think raising the block size to improve throughput is like adding another lane to a busy highway. It's an expensive road upgrade that won't relieve congestion, but just add more commuters by increasing the number of cars.

Along that analogy, LN is more like carpooling. More commuters, same number of cars, no changes required to the roads. It's a cheaper upgrade that achieves the same effect in a different way.
> We encourage people to upload and share content they don't own under the guise of "information wants to be free".

I would say it's the opposite problem:

We pretend that publicly accessible information can be owned.
I do trust them, and I have used them, but I prefer “trust, but verify.” It’s also just the right thing to do, going open source.
What happens if they DDOS you (or your watchtower) at the right moment? Most peoples' bandwidth is shit enough that forcing them offline is fairly straightforward.
Build your own really shitty Redis. Then make it less shitty.

A really shitty Redis/HTTP can be built in around 100 lines in many languages (assuming the language stdlib helps you out a bit -- Python, Go, Clojure would all fit).

The fun begins when you make a concentrated effort into making it less shitty. What tradeoffs will you make to what gain? It's a fun space to explore.
So if these companies are "humming along" why are they selling to Bain? If they're doing so great, why doesn't someone outbid Bain?
"Stuxnet was delivered via USB to an Iran nuclear facility and had the exact same intent of triggering physical damage, which it apparently did successfully."

In my admonition against networked, general purpose computers, I purposely neglected to also mention that the plant engineers should not shoot themselves in the face, with an actual gun, upon starting their work shift.

I neglected to mention this in the same way that I neglected to mention that you should not have a PC running Windows anywhere near your critical infrastructure.

The failures that allowed stuxnet to occur were NOT "casualties on the battlefield of modern cyber warfare" - they were the clownish actions of idiots who got owned by autorun.inf[1] (among other things).

Official unemployment is usually U3, but there are the U4 (discouraged), U5 (have not looked recently, out of market), U6 (underemployed). But nothing like are able to work physically and mentally, just don't have a job or don't want a job at current remuneration.
Nice pointing out typos of the authors of this piece while being unable to grasp even simple concepts of the English grammar yourself ('doesn't received').

That said, the goodwill thing is clarified in the next sentence. Also, the text doesn't make the connection between goodwill and debt. In fact it is nice that you try to explain what 'most people' will think after reading this while in fact the only thing your post proofs is you poor understanding of intermediate level texts in english language.

I don't know why you try to discredit the text here.

It still requires a certain degree of trust, this changes very little actually. The server side code is still proprietary, and even when it is not (according to their plans) you still have to trust that what they are actually running is an unmodified version of what they have released.

In addition to all of that, you are still funneling traffic through them AND they are still under US jurisdiction, regardless of the license they choose to use for their software.

Clearing up the term “eSIM”
I concur. What I'm hearing is that the Canadian Federal payroll is extremely complex (like all government payrolls, I suppose). The Harper gov't justified the system by laying off everyone who knew the old payroll system.

The software developed by IBM was so complex, that it required the expertise of the people who got laid off to operate it. The novices who took over didn't know how to make the software work, and chaos ensued.

The Canadian government is as much at fault as the developers on this one. (I speak as one who is paying for this fiasco :o).
OTOH, smart people often build systems with excessive complexity, leading to maintenance problems. Genius is found in making complex things comprehensible and simple.
Also, this is kind of the point of doing so by amendment. The old idea of amending the constitution to outlaw same-sex marriage was designed to forestall an Obergefell v. Hodges type decision. On the other side of the aisle, constitutional amendments around campaign finance or corporate personhood would supersede the interpretation of the First Amendment applied in Citizens United v. FEC.
My guess is that it's mostly a technical limitation (and that the reason why services of this sort haven't taken over the world is that everyone else runs into a similar limitation).
That's a nice idea in theory, but in practice, players will take the most efficient method of completing a task, even if that method isn't fun. If you give players autopilot, they will use it, even if they would prefer the game without it.

I'm sure I've read research on this, but I'm not sure how to dredge it up from the internet. So I apologize for the lack of citation.

Anecdotally, in the Elder Scrolls series, I vastly preferred Morrowind's lack of unlimited fast travel. But I still used fast travel liberally in future installments, in no small part because the games were designed under the assumption that fast travel would be used. The takeaway is that you can't assume that players will ignore a feature just because they don't like it.
Yes, that sounds silly. Great that you didn't give up.

Yes, people use excel to create databases without having to fuss about data-types and referential integrity (and without knowing they would even have to fuss about them).
> As far as I'm aware, if you stay within the confines of smart pointers (and don't drop down to the raw pointer it owns) you will never encounter undefined behavior.

No. Even with smart pointers it's possible (move out of unique_ptr, deref). But even with no pointers it's possible - index into an array without checking the bound, signed int overflow, etc.
I compiled a GB emulator written in WASM to Rust yesterday and benchmarked it. The Rust one was about 7 times faster.
U.S. Fires a Warning Shot at Silicon Valley with Theranos Case
I agree it's odd, and yet still shared that sense of disappointment in the lack of surprises in my 23andMe report. I also don't think it's entirely irrational.

The most interesting result is the least expected result that doesn't include bad news. Outside relatively small circles, the vast majority of white people will lose none of their privilege or social position if they find out their ancestry includes something unexpected. It's clearly pretty widespread too, because all of the 23andMe advertising includes people ostensibly of European descent who find out they've got unexpected ancestry.
It's the rare comments like this, from someone who actually looked at the data, that keep me coming back to HN.

I'm hesitant to just blame IBM and call it the day. What about the U.S. healthcare.gov website? Do we also blame CGI Federal and Accenture?

There's probably blame on both sides, but it seems nowadays that "it needs to be a roaring dumpster fire until we do things the right way". Unfortunately, either no one _in_ government seems competent to know that right way or be empowered enough to fight for it (maybe they've all left).
Great news. PIA is a solid service I can recommend to less tech-friendly family members and the like.
I'm referring to when the rock simply curls the wrong way. Consistently, no matter who is throwing it.

It seems to be related to uneven cooling of the ice. It really becomes apparent on the southern-most sheet in the club I frequent when the late-winter sun starts beating down on the southern-facing wall next to it, but that is not the only place I have seen it happen.

However, outside of the high level reasons for it happening, I am interested in the specific mechanics, like were previously described for normal curl, that causes the rock to go the opposite way under these conditions.
Modify #1 to "The value of the currency is the average effort required to obtain X in wealth."

That allows us to include inheritance of wealth and finding bags of gold in the street without dismantling our understanding that a given amount of money represents a given amount of effort that we can expect others to be willing to exert to acquire that money from us.

And then walk through a house and look at it not as $X00,000 dollars, but rather as the amount of human work it represents.

Sorry I guess I was using double spend to characterize any situation where you think a tx has taken place, but another party rolls back to a different or prior state.
Also worth noting that U-3 is an international definition of unemployment. If different countries use different definitions, then comparing rates among countries would be pretty much meaningless.
Well, that line of thinking opens up a whole other angle of speculation (and of course that's all it is, so I won't detail it) regarding how events may have unfolded in this debacle.
You nailed it. People think this technology is not that useful because they have only used Siri and Alexa. Use the Google Assistant and you will see it is very helpful.

I have used all three and can say from personal experience the Google Assistant is head and shoulders in front of the other two in UX.

CppCon has also had a lot of great talks on UB and why it is what it is, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG1OZ69H_-o
sorry I didn't mean "port" literally, I meant it as a slang term. I meant "move everything over".

Airtable uses s3 to manage the file upload assets (I think). I like using Airtable over a traditional RDBMS since its extremely user friendly and easy to update your db schema. I don't have to memorize anything on the backend (E.g. with MS-SQL, it was always in an uphill battle working with sql-server management studio, figuring out what settings I need to tweaked, etc). Airtable's GUI is super intuitive if your familiar with excel / MS-access. It took me a few days to learn and figure out airtable, MS-Access took me about 3 months+.
It's more complicated than this. C++ compilers can't just "reject" UB code - they don't have enough information at all times to prove that code invokes UB, the languages is not powerful enough to represent this in all cases.

When people say "just fix this in compilers, don't compile when they run into UB" it's a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem. Yes, in some cases the compiler can prove UB, and uses it to write optimiations, but it doesn't prove that all code is not invoking UB.
I think you're overestimating the processing requirements. The original 2010 Kinect did fundamentally similar processing (multi-person tracking and skeletal mapping) on the Xbox 360 which had a PowerPC CPU from 2005.

Product tracking and supply chain management is a practical use case. Pairing RFID tags with block chain technology can be used as an anti-counterfeiting measure to guarantee a product's origin.
Thanks, will try that
Try the Google Assistant and you will realize just how bad Siri really is.
I dont know, I rely on Excel for everything in my day to day work, and it is so flexible and terrible at the same time, I would gladly pay for a different tool that makes me look 2x smarter. The whole corporate world that insists on doing something 'in Excel' is a ripe market for such an IPOable business
If we were using coffee as currency wouldn’t there be an upper limit?

"Isolation and specialization can be effective defense concepts."

Thank you - appreciated.

Many people (unwittingly ?) argue against defense-in-depth because they look at individual layers of the defense and declare them inadequate. They are always correct.

What they are missing is that nobody ever proposed only using (port knocking, or stack obfuscation, or fake login banners, or whatever). They are always additive layers of security on top of the existing set of best practices.
I want this so bad
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

As an aside, politically, I'm entirely unwilling to credit this to the last year. My own prior reading (ok, mostly of news articles, albeit reasonably well-informed ones), described such effects as typically being a minimum of a year out from policy initiatives. 18 months being a more typical minimum.

The Great Recession hit me hard, and I've not seen the bounce back. Nor have others I know in my age bracket (later middle-age). That may color my perspective.

The country spent years digging out from the last financial disaster. And not the messaging seems to be, if you didn't grab as much as you could, it's your own fault.

P.S. And I do recall, a few years ago, the emphasis upon short term unemployment rates, avoiding discussion of the long-term unemployed and those who'd, from the perspective of the parameters of the statistical exercise, exited the labor market.

Thank you for addressing that to some extent. I do wonder, though, within specific demographics, what the levels of such may continue to be.

Have an upvote. I'm not complaining about your response -- to be clear. :-)
Coinbase to Congress – We Need Clarity Not More Regulators
I'm arguing the cat-and-mouse game described in the article as a fundamentally flawed approach. The system is set up in favor of the opportunists.

If your goal is truly humanitarian you must be proactive. Yes, many Syrians fled due to immediate danger. Are those the ones making it to BAMF headquarters? Arguably not.
I'm not one of those "VPN services are useless" fanatics, but "“trust” and “vpn” should be an uneasy combo" it's not an uneasy combo, it's pretty much your only option.

The amount of trust required for their front-end applications is minimal to the point of non-existence.

The real trust you have to afford them lies with the company and what they do or don't do with your data.
My parents had always told me their grandparents were part Seminole. I liked that because it made me feel more connected to my home.

To find out (through a 23andMe report showing 99.9% Euro genes) it wasn't true was unsettling, like I'm not really who I thought I was and also have much less of a connection to the area. Also disappointed because it means someone in my family lied to all of us about where they came from.
I can't go by mysterious, unspecified "signs".

Not all days in Phoenix are sunny, but only 5% of days are rainy, and 0% are snowy. As compared with many midwestern cities, which get precipitation about a third of days. And all of which have snow, sleet, and ice to deal with much of the year.

The current program says: "We’re searching for early riders in parts of the Phoenix metropolitan area, including Chandler, Tempe, Mesa and Gilbert." So it's definitely not the 600 square miles you claim, and I've seen no evidence that riders can go absolutely anywhere even in the test area. And I note none of the video was at night.

Even the article you cite is clear that this is very limited, and that Waymo is intentionally avoiding disclosing a great deal, including where, when, who, and how much.

Yes, this is very cool. But Waymo, as it should have, has clearly picked the easy place to start. For a domain this complex, the 90/90 rule definitely applies.
Plus is actually far more functional in the languages compare to Siri.
That would be income adjusted for PPP, similar to adjusted for inflation.

Still not quite what the OP wants, I suspect. I think we means "how many people earn enough to live decently, but that's hard.

I might be a 20 to student in Paris living on €1,200, consider myself fairly well off. House-sharing, couch surfing holidays, €1 drinks every Tuesday ..student living.

A 40 yo might consider this a poverty income. "Getting by" generally seems objective enough at first glance (rent on basic accomodation, etc), but culture and expectations play a big role. Also expectations about the future and stuff.

Basically , it's complicated. ..and outside the scope of an "measure," imo.

I think it's more useful to construct a picture from several simpler, more objective sources. Add up "living costs" to get your "minimum decent living' and then see how many people/households/workers have that much income.

It's never gonna be a real measure though, because "decent living" depends on circumstances.
This works, although the downside compared to Rust is that soft pointer validity is checked at runtime, meaning that a program that compiles can still randomly fail at runtime and that performance is worse due to the checks.

The key idea and massive difference from standard C++ is that object destruction is delayed until a "quiescient state" happens in what is a reframing of RCU [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-copy-update], allowing to freely use raw pointers as long as none survive across a quiescient state.

[note however that this system allows to take pointers to stack variables, so they have to restrict raw pointers to function arguments only - it would be better to also introduce a "heap-only" pointer that can be freely returned/stored on the heap/etc. but can't be stored in types that live across a quiescient state, from which stack-or-heap raw pointers can be derived]

This also results in the downside that things like mutexes can only be safe if they are kept locked until a quiescient state happens, since that's the only lifetime that the system understands.

Likewise, you can't do this like prevent updating a collection while iterating unless you are fine with freezing the collection until a quiescient state happens.

In general, you are much better off using Rust (or an equivalently expressive language, if it existed), since that allows to statically check for correctness, not have to delay freeing memory, and allows to use lifetimes and linear types to secure mutex locking, collection iteration, and other things where lifetimes are essential.
"Back in the day, people used to do things ourselves. But it was hard, and sometimes people made errors, some that even cost lives. But now everything is done for us. We get driven in our googlecars to our googlejobs where we sit down to watch in case the AI makes a random mistake in doing something, while we watch our carefully curated googlefeeds for news written by algorithm that ensure no nasty "fake news" or unpopular ideas filter into our consciousness.

Then we go home to watch googlesports, in which AI players play the games people used to play, but so much more efficiently than us, while petting our googlecat that lies purring on our lap. (Because, you know pets are a big environmental hazard.)

..yeah you have fun telling them that.
These changes in the past of been a pendulum. I don't think the current changes are. Increasing automation, AI, etc, are vastly increasing the productivity of the individual worker and replacing jobs. For a long time there's been an excellent well balanced feedback loop, more productivity = higher pay, higher pay = more purchasing power, more purchasing power = more production needed = more employment.

However, wages are starting to stagnate. It could actually be one of the reasons we are getting such high employment. The feedback loop will stop. We as a society will need to decide what to do when it no longer makes sense to employ most people.
A little early for jokes about a situation where people are (presumably?) still being rescued/recovered.
No one pays for companies based on a multiple of their "net worth". No one is going to pay 3x of that "net worth" value and if they did, they probably wouldn't have to pay 10% interest in debt. Starting with such assumptions makes it very hard to place any faith in the rest of the example.
If you don't have an objective metric like that, these bureaucrats don't magically learn how to make good decisions. They just overpay their friends instead. These bidding systems are a symptom of bad decision makers, not their cause.

Yeah true. Also by open sourcing the chrome extension maybe someone can port this to Firefox. I think it should be relatively easy after the recent move by Firefox to webextensions.

I carry both a iPhone and a Pixel 2 XL and there is no comparison between Siri and the Google Assistant. Now a bit of a Apple fanboy but can be realistic.

I think it's pretty great that they can actually develop mitigations partly in microcode and they can still do it that far back.
The one advantage I saw over markdown vs rsT, say, was that documents with markdown looked good when viewed in Vim as well.

But when I'm including code in a doc I much rather prefer rsT, because I can specify the code type so the syntax highlighter doesn't have to guess about the language.
