Why do you think HN hates companies that are doing well for themselves?

Doing this is way more exhausting than cheering them on (see SpaceX, people have fun in those posts). "Oh this company is doing well and I'm jealous"? Seriously don't know how that's enough.

There's a slightly less nefarious interpretation which is that people have different values, and disagreement happens.

So many people are extremely happy to see other people's success here, for example Lyft here. But what you might think is unimportant virtue signalling is something other people actually care about, sometimes deeply
Agreed, this was missing from my college curriculum and learning git well has been a huge asset in terms of productivity.

When you understand version control, you can make changes without fearing that you can't get back to where you are right now.
"socialist/Soviet" probably means "1950s-1970s", when monolothic block projects were popular.
In the USA, Robert Moses was the engine of this movement, that was very pro-car / anti-transit.

The human body is amazingly adaptive though. My old roommates friend would come over frequently and every time he would get a cup from the kitchen, fill it 1/3rd with water, add one of those flavoring crystal packets, and then fill the rest with vodka out of a plastic bottle. No one else would even be drinking. He would drink 2-3 of those cups and seem pretty much unfazed, eat nothing, and go home hours later. I am sure it caught up to him eventually but at the time it was always flooring that his body had adapted to that kind of diet.

That's totally true, sad you're being down-voted. Second market mover advantage is equally as strong as market makers. As a second market mover, you just better be prepared to wake build.
Yep, I agree. Politicians & their PR firms are getting the bee hive stirred up, swaying public opinion. It's the governmental version of http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

How can these both be true?
My working hypothesis is the majority of business laptops sit on desks all day. They’re never using any of the built in peripherals and the price isn’t worth it to the OEM.
Ask HN: AWS vs. GCP networking for large scale deployments
- what are the main technical differences in the way networking is implemented in AWS vs GCP ?

- Are there any commonly used networking solution with physical hardware (Cisco, Arista etc.) that doesn't work well or needs a redesign to work with either provider ?

- What are the potential gotchas with either when running at scale.
Ah! So that's why a lot of us still think of Snow Leopard as the best OS X release ever.
If you want secure browser access to some resource (for values of 'secure' where it matters more than your bank account but less than situations in which you wouldn't trust _any_ browser), you really need to remove certs from any commercial CA and install only the CA you need.
I see what you are saying, but I guess I just don't accept that definition of parsimony because it includes explanatory power as an input into the value of parsimony. In just about every context I've encountered the concept, it has been used as a means of distinguishing between theories of equal explanatory power.
>2) You might want to go look up biblical archaeology. Quite a lot of the history in the Bible has been disproven.

I often hear something to this affect, would you be willing to provide 3 specific claims/events documented in the Bible that have been disproven?
I've seen a lot of very interesting, usually quite short comments on politics-related threads in the past few weeks, that were posted less than ten minutes prior and already grayed out and marked "[dead]". In each instance, the user was not using inflammatory language at all, yet HN was implicitly saying "yeah we're not going to allow discussion on this topic." I'm sure there's Very Good Reasons(TM) for this but it always feels like wasted opportunity for interesting, out-of-the-box discussion.
Plus it's the right size for one cryptocat gene per character.
> Reddit was also an important part of Trump’s strategy. Parscale wrote—on Reddit, naturally—that “members here provided considerable growth and reach to our campaign.”

So were Hillary's and Bernie's campaigns, who each had a major presence on Reddit, both much more than Trump's.
Giant apartment buildings aren't pricey. New construction is pricey.
Hi chemphill! I think it's really cool that you use XP and seem to be very collaborative in developing projects. Is there anyone that I can reach out to to learn more about Carbon Five?
We could have automatic updates. There is nothing technical preventing that from happening.

People defragmenting their NTFS filesystems used to be a prolific practice, but I think we're better off now with filesystems that require dramatically less maintenance.

My point is that the only thing holding us back is politics: manufacturers think that it is in their best interest to sell routers with proprietary firmware, even though it really isn't.
The biggest, most idiotic, and most frustrating problem IMO is that most MOOCs are inflexible in their schedule. This model is perfect for self-paced learning and very few serve that.

Plus, there are instructors and materials that aren't great, and are more useful for the basic introduction to concepts in the first few lessons, which can then enable self-learning that's more effective than the poorly taught meat & potatoes of the course.

(I've finished probably 3-4 MOOCs and didn't finish about the same amount.)
I thought Apple were still replacing screens from that coating defect, even out of warranty.
From the section [7] of the conclusion (your link, last page):

> The procedure is geared towards detection and deterrence of airborne terrorism [...] This was a limited search, confined in its intrusiveness (both in duration and scope) and in its attempt to discover weapons and explosives.³

> ³This would, perhaps, be a different case if there were improper motives established by the record below or argued in the briefs.

I'd like to know what "weapons and explosives" that might be useful for "airborne terrorism" the TSA thinks it might find buy searching the data on a laptop or phone.
Can you clarify your meaning? I'm a little confused. It sounds like you say "Rust isn't really a beginner's language... it's probably easier to teach [Rust] as a first language than a second after Python or Java". At first it sounds like a contradiction but when I inspect closer I realise there's alternative interpretations.

Do you mean "learning a system's programming language is not helped and may even be hindered by experience with general purpose languages"? Are there any good beginners' systems languages, which help Rust?
I mean I'm seriously not shitting you when I say every single rider I've gotten on lyft in the last few months who have a 4.9 or above and genuinely provided great service (one dude still had candy/water!) has pushed Juno on me. I asked the lady I had yesterday why she isn't using Juno and she said she wants to, they treat the drivers well, she just can't get an interview to be accepted as a driver till.. uh... April?! I was pretty surprised.
On the other hand, spending most of your time learning new syntax as opposed to actually solving creative problems makes one more like a glorified factory worker.
yeah but what about recursive named emacs kmacros ?! jk

nice post
You're referring to threats, which are not free speech. Hate speech is free speech.
Reminds me a lot of a bit from Edmund Carpenter's anthropology book They Became What They Beheld (1970). I'll have to copy it out of the book so please forgive any transcription errors:

"In the 1968 elections the McCarthy campaign staff was approached with a suggestion for crossing media. In the United States no law prohibits the mating of radio and TV. In Southern California, for example, Spanish-speaking sportsfans watch the picture on TV but listen to a Spanish-speaking sports broadcaster on radio.

So it was proposed that the New York-New Jersey area be offered a night of radio sound & TV picture. Five commentators were to provide the audio; John Culkin, Jean Shepherd, Marshall McLuhan, myself & Tony Schwartz, who originated the idea and had a sound studio equipped to handle the project. A bank of small TV sets offered simultaneous coverage of all principal TV stations in the area; each would be kept on its particular channel. From these the connentators would select programs shown on a master TV set & toward these programs would direct their comments.

The plan was to announce in the New York-New Jersey newspapers that at 7 P.M. on a certain night a local radio station would provide that evening's TV audio. For example, the audio for a TV cigarette commercial would be one minute of coughing via radio. If there was a laughshow, it would be pointed out that the laughtracks were copyrighted in 1935 & that most of the people one heard laughing had been dead for some time.

Then listeners would be asked to turn to a channel showing Walter Cronkite, at which point they would hear a taped "countdown," first in English, followed by a A-blast; then in Russian, then Chinese, each followed by blasts & more blasts & finally only a child's cry.

Finally, and this was the point of the whole project, listeners would be encouraged to turn to a channel with Hubert Humphrey speaking. Instead of his speech, however, they would hear - on radio - the four letters he wrote to his draft board gaining exemption from duty in the Second War - one letter citing two lectures he had delivered to an ROTC class, while in the background would be played Hitler's ranting, bombs & screams; then Humphrey's pro-Vietnam War speeches - "A glorious adventure and great fun, isn't it?" - while in the background the guns & screams continued.

The McCarthy team, mostly literate men, saw something profoundly immoral in the suggestion. New forms always seem immoral or chaotic since they are unconsciously judged by reference to consecrated forms. But a curious contradiction arises: New forms are condemned, but the information they disseminate is believed, while the old & valued aren't even seen."

>the current models that are the basis for the multiverse, i.e. those within quantum theory and cosmology.

The root of my question is I am uninformed of anything with quantum theory or cosmology that makes a multiverse more likely than deism. Do you have specific examples from quantum theory or cosmology that makes a multiverse more likely?
Ironic!
> But Thinkpad has done a good job of not diluting their lineup with cheap, crappy laptops.

ThinkPad edge. I'm glad that line died, it was a shame on the thinkpad brand.
I have a Dell Latitude for work and it's reasonably comparable to my Thinkpad T470s. I still prefer the Thinkpad but the Latitude doesn't make me constantly hate it every second I use it, unlike lots of other laptops these days.
Is Qualcomm better?
Cahnadr Гандальф how is it similar :)?
JBIG2 has been known to swap 6s and 8s. Use it at your own risk. There's a reason nothing uses it anymore.
Why? Obviously we all want faster mobile data, but how do you think the government will improve on what telcos would do on their own?
We were introduced to version control in our first year. The only problem was that till we started managing large code bases, most people found it very difficult to understand why we used Git in the first place.
Yeah, I have seen actix, it looks great. The recent techempower benches have been particularly revealing of Rust's potential in this area.
It was very fun to play with. Is it gonna be available as an app too?
Learning syntax is a non problem
> This year I'm dropping Linux at gone and going to Windows, after 15 years.

Kinda funny since I feel like windows is taking more and more weird turns since windows 8 regarding UX, UI consistence etc. From win 95 to win 7 it mostly felt like consistent evolution, but now it seems they tried to modernize different parts of the OS over night and none of the designers and devs involved were allowed to talk to each other.

I think the "fuck it I'm old, don't care anymore, just want it to work and look nice" goto solution is still the Mac, even in 2018, even after all those recent os x mess ups (I'm old, don't care, etc., get it?)
There have been some efforts in the past to take care of at least one of the problems that you enumerate. PRONOM [1], GDFR [2], and UDFR [3] sought (and still strive in the case of PRONOM) to be more formalized versions of the /etc/magic file, so that digital formats could be more readily classified automatically.

Unfortunately UDFR and GDFR have fizzled out (a theme that occurs sometwhat often when projects have high ambitions and inadequate support). PRONOM is still around, but has difficulty adding in accurate information since the overlap between the technologists with the domain expertise necessary for such a database to succeed and librarians is quite small. It would benefit quite greatly from an infusion of engineers who wouldn't mind filling out forms with corrections. :)

Ignoring any concerns regarding national security and ignoring that this is related to Drumpf, I'm pleased that we aren't going to have a second chipzilla.
> This argument is completely disingenuous. Your average person is capable of critical thinking and logical reasoning -- those who aren't are either wards under the care of another person.

Oh please, you think the average person has sufficient critical thinking skills to read the newspaper and pick out the parts that are "stretching the truth", use specious reasoning or various other logical fallacies, etc? You must roll with a different crew than I.

> Your average Fox News viewer may believe that MSNBC is propaganda secretly dictated by the shadowy figures in the background, and vice versa.

If they had critical thinking skills, wouldn't they be able to get a pretty decent handle on the degree to which they are propagandists?

It sounds to me like what you're saying is, most things within this realm are not knowable, except for the parts that are. The world is complex and confusing, but I don't think it's that confusing.
I think there's a way around this if you imagine concentric shells with harmonic rotation, but I'd have to go and look up one of my old notebooks from a few years ago. I stopped writing/playing music regularly after a massive construction project in my neighborhood :-/
> Rust assumes the developers learning about it have specific goals: namely, to evaluate Rust vs. C/C++.

We don't assume that. From https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/

> This book is written for a reader who already knows how to program in at least one programming language. After reading this book, you should be comfortable writing Rust programs. We’ll be learning Rust through small, focused examples that build on each other to demonstrate how to use various features of Rust as well as how they work behind the scenes.

That is, we assume programming knowledge, but not specific programming knowledge. Many people come to Rust not knowing C or C++.
That’s also something I read. https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/24/apple-extended-anti-ref...
Well, I didn't say the Inuit live long lives. In fact I haven't been able to find data how long do they live when in their natural environment on traditional diets. But I suspect they don't live that long as it's a harsh environment. It's probably the same effect as animals in the wild vs in the zoo.

I checked all the studies in your link and didn't see anything to contradict the notion that they had healthy enough lives. First study is behind a paywall so it's hard to comment but the most damning thing in the abstract is "The mortality from all cardiovascular diseases combined is not lower among the Inuit than in white comparison populations". Shouldn't it be significantly higher when you consider the copious amounts of "unhealthy" food they consume (allegedly 5-10 pounds of meat per day).

The paleopathology study involves a grand total of 3 mummies, that all died from trauma, 1 of which was 53 year old woman with signs of atherosclerosis but otherwise no evident heart problems, 1 apparently healthy young woman and 1 woman with severe heart and other health issues, some of which the researcher suggests are the result of a bacterial infection.

The Canadian Eskimos study mostly talks about ailments related to their way of life - worn teeth (which were still in excellent condition!!), snow blindness and the like. No mention of degenerative diseases. In fact you'll see a comparison between "traditional" Eskimos and "civilized" ones. If you intended to prove how unhealthy the traditional diet is, this study says just the opposite.
I am going to assume you are a theist, at least in the US, theists have a reputation for being ignorant, self-righteous, and hypocritical (in the sense they talk about love but don't act on it). If you care about improving the general reputation of theists I suggest that you make an effort to be intellectually humble, open to evidence, compassionate, kind, and not belligerent.
I think your parent is saying "Rust isn't a great language to learn programming with", that is, if you've never programmed, Rust is not a great choice.

I agree, but I don't think it's inherent; I think it's a lack of resources targeted at this demographic.
I would start with someone who is skilled in both critical thinking and education, or am I misunderstanding the question?

Logical fallacies would be one place to start, you can see examples of this all day long on reddit for example.

I'm not sure how battle hardened Mastodon is, obviously they don't have the resources of Twitter or Facebook. Probably easy to DDOS an individual server. However, it might be possible for other nodes to transparently cache updates.

As to spoofing, we've got to move beyond humans memorizing unicode strings or profile pictures as a means of identity validation. Its shambolic enough that twitter users constanly change their display string, obscuring the twitter handle, but even without that problem, how many people send bitcoin/ethereum to @eloon_musk?
I've worked on this problem in the past for modernization and migration away from legacy languages to modern ones. You need to write a parser for the source language, but that is a one-time upfront cost. The parser should populate an intermediate language agnostic model and then you can write as many generators as you require to translate that agnostic model into your target language of choice.

We had one-click solutions for COBOL to C, Java to C#, VB to Angular, etc. Once you have the parsers and generators the work for each project after that is minimal.
Well, the difference is that I can’t vote AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon out in four years.
>It's just poured concrete. Building house shells from poured concrete is done worldwide. Edison started that; his system for low-cost housing used standard forms that locked together. Then you pour in concrete, wait, remove the forms, and you have a house. He even built in concrete furniture, which wasn't popular.

Totally true. And these days it is possible to go even further than that.

Concrete construction can be made even cheaper if the cost is a genuine impediment. If material cost is the issue, you can use large aggregate filler, foaming agents, flyash based cements. If it is the time that is at premium, than you can go for SIPs or stay in place formworks. If workforce is the limiting factor, go for larger concrete pours with concrete flowability enhancers.
This is a good introduction to some of the issues facing academic libraries these days. For a more in-depth look at what strategies librarians are using to provide access to older operating systems / formats / user experiences, I'd recommend taking a gander at "Emulation & Virtualization as Preservation Strategies" by David S. H. Rosenthal:

Would be awesome if I can find some decent repair shop that can make it like new but unfortunately I had a bad experience with my previous macbook pro 2011. It was battery first, than some power controller. As they said apple stops making repair parts after few years and you can find change only in used laptops.
Yes, you should instead make sure everyone doesn't feel alienated, not only the people from a minority regarding their race, age or sex.
Thanks. This is what I was looking for when I originally posed the question.

So, if I understood you correctly, the restriction of Lorentz symmetry on the Hamiltonian in turn requires QFT creation and annihilation operators to commute/anticommute (the anticommute part what then ultimately drives a negative energy contribution from fermionic fields when summing over all possible energy states).

What causes the anticommute properties? Is there a non-abelian symmetry group backing fermion fields somewhere?

Good. We don't need more monopolistic conglomerates.
Whilst undoubtedly it would have been a great move for the combined company, they would have too much market share of high-speed wireless chipsets and this could have ended up badly for consumers - MediaTek, Intel and RealTek are still bit players in wave 2 AC gear and beyond.

Also Qualcomm have traditionally been a little more open with their chipsets (binary blob notwithstanding) so hopefully more routers in the future will support open source firmwares without having to sign NDA's for driver source access like DD-WRT did with Broadcom.
In my opinion, decentralization is not the point of crypto-tech. Maybe it's some minor feature, but not the selling proposition. The major feature is the formalisation of the concept of consensus. Forks are a manifestation of this feature. "a 51% attack on their own blockchain" is a major feature of crypto-tech. In the last century we would call this a revolution. In this century issues like this can be resolved enterily in software. It's an opt-in economy and in some years an opt-in society.

The only reason you think the cash in your portemonai is worth something is that everybody else things the same. As soon as everybody stops believing it, the paper in your wallet can still be used to make fire. Same goes for authorities. Judges, policemen, presidents are what they are because everybody believes it. We have already an informal consensus of who is a policeman and who is not. Most of the time it resolves to whether somebody wears the uniform. Crypto tech promises to make this verifiably. No need for uniforms.
This is awesome! One thing: it would be really cool if clicking on one of the summary text boxes brought you to where the full details are approximately located on the page. That way if a certain clause or something is particularly relevant to you, you don't have to search the full thing for it.
> Trump acted on a recommendation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S.

Seems legit.

I know we all love to bash Trump, but he might not be entirely evil. Sometimes he's not treated fairly, that said it's all well deserved that's for sure :)
