I don't think the situation isn't being oversimplified, I think OP's post is a good summary of the whole situation.

I also don't think the i3 is good value. If you compare it to a BWM series 1, you can get a better car for a better price. On the other hand, a Tesla Model 3 is perfectably comparable to a BWM series 1.

Tesla has been making good electric cars since 2012 and the BMW i3 was very limited in range until last year or so. The range was limited to 100km in a single charge and the car was being sold for more than 40000 euros (at least in Europe) which is very steep for such a crippled car.
I personally used the OFA Facebook application and the intent is incredibly different. Notably, the folks who authorized the OFA application knew that the data about their friends was being collected. Because that was entirely the point! We were using it to send out requests to our friends to persuade to them to vote/register to vote.

If you'd like a more in-depth explanation, I found this post by the former Chief Scientist of Obama For America campaign (2012) that goes into the key differences between how the data was collected & used compared to Cambridge Analytica: https://medium.com/@rayid/why-what-cambridge-analytica-did-w...

This is great. I've just launched a product consultancy and I really need to start presenting at meetups about the technology we're using. It just seems like such a perfect way to get work that aligns with what you want to be doing in the first place.
>Two, what the heck does "knowingly facilitate" mean? Is it enough to know that, in the abstract, your service is used to facilitate sex trafficking?

One would hope that the courts interpret this to mean that the defendant knew that a specific act (e.g., accepting a specific ad) would facilitate a violation but still performed this act. (Or maybe the courts could simply declare the amendment void for vagueness.) Unfortunately it will probably take expensive lawsuits to resolve this.

>Because its guaranteed that services like gmail are used to facilitate sex trafficking.

Since 18 USC 1591(e) isn't limited to online services, one can even go further and show that a "knowledge in the abstract" standard would catch even electricity providers.
That's reassuring, thanks for replying. I was commenting from a general perspective on open core licensing but I understand not all companies are created equal.
> The second approach to microLED displays seems absurd on the face of it, yet it has the potential to work in smart-watch screens and larger displays. It involves dicing up wafers into individual microLEDs, making sure they’re all working perfectly, and transferring each one to its proper place on the display (not necessarily in that order). A 42-mm Apple Watch has roughly 120,000 pixels, each one of three colors, so that might mean some 360,000 microLEDs. “You need a technology that can transfer 30,000 LEDs per second for a consumer application,” says Virey.

Not sure if I understand this correctly, do they mean moving micro-LEDs during the manufacturing process, or when the device is being used? If it is the latter, it seems ridiculously cool!
Had tried it 3 times, with 3 failures.

Tried once again after posting this comment and it worked. Who knows where the software goes.

Almost none of my meetings are “sales” meetings, in fact we never do advertising at all. All leads come from people who eventually want work or refer their colleagues. Some meetings pan out and others don’t.

Sure. But that's ultimately because the government has defined that facilitating beer sales to people under 21 is illegal.

If the government decided to stay out of drug regulation entirely, would it be reasonable for companies like Reddit to decide on their own that people under some age should not be able to purchase beer online, set that age, etc.? (Presumably, because there is not overwhelming public support to repeal those laws, society at large believes that young people should be prevented, passive voice, from buying beer - if we move enforcement of that social problem to the people, how should that get implemented?)
It makes it sound as if work was more healthy in the past. Was it? When? I know hunter gatherer times were supposed to be paradise, but anything since then? Farming sounds rather arduous. Or what about mining, or working in factories where safety measures have not yet been invented?
I’ve tried to word around it carefully with ‘will more likely to be’, but obviously that’s true.

I think the number of firearms in US is quite remarkable, considering the fact that in my home country, Poland, only a single person in hundred owns a firearm.

If gun control was in any way effective at reducing crime, it should be very easy to demonstrate, with such significant differences in saturation.
I Remember that some Project Euler question requires you to generate this series. I guess I now know how to solve it!
Fine. But at least give me the option of turning them off. As stated above, even their hard-to-find flag settings don't seem to work.
Most people don't know the background of the Citizens United case. Since you do, then I'd wager that you also know the effects that it's had on campaign finance laws. The ruling overturned existing laws that limited campaign contributions from corporations while also overruling other cases that had previously limited free speech rights.

> It means that citizens don't lose their free speech rights when they form groups.

That's basically what the court's majority opinion stated. But the dissenting opinion also stated that the ruling provides more opportunities for corruption and for laws to be "bought and sold". So to say that GP's comments are "Not evenly remotely true" is disingenuous.
My more pessimistic estimates put the losses at more than the FDIC had at the time and I have no idea what happens when the FDIC runs out of money.

It probably wasn't rational but I was really scared.
Agreed. Hacker News is definitely not a form of infrastructure, while GMail clearly is (even though it technically does have some content filtering, it's obviously necessary to make the service usable).

But there are gray-areas between websites with a full-blown CoC and apps that are deliberately compared to the Postal Service. Where do you draw the line?
I always find at least one completely unrelated comparisons or story in HN threads. I also hate the sorting of comments on HN. Is there a way to change it by hot/top like on Reddit? So often the first comment is completely off-topic/with examples in GP and turns into a thread of few more unrelated comparisons and anecdotes.

BMW and Microsoft are in way different situations. State of electric cars right now (mainstream) is nowhere close to state of ebook readers before Kindle.

The School Shooting Generation Has Had Enough
Not really, there are a few people in the world that CAN create an image pixel by pixel using MS paint and make it look like a photo (the top people on hyper-realism) and get the very same result they would get using Photoshop, just taking tons of more time.

And even if the "restricted tools" do make a difference we are splitting hairs here, because we can create a similar equivalence, e.g. a c++ program with artificial restrictions: A program where you can't use your own classes or structs, or a program that can't be bigger than 1KB, and so on.
India tried this approach for multiple years and was a catastrophic failure. Indians had to survive on subpar cars such as Ambassador and Maruti, expensive TVs and fridge with subpar quality, and a dwindling economy. The way many Asian economies have succeeded is not by protectionism, but by identifying their niche capability and focusing on them. For example, automobile in Japan, semi-conductor in Taiwan, appliances in Korea. The equivalent approach in the US would be to concede low end manufacturing to China and focus on improving high end manufacturing and future industries that can sustain higher labor costs. Not trade tariffs.

For classic old school computers yes. I'm not so sure about quantum computers. Consider:

Hey what's with the down votes to this comment? There's nothing stupid, derogatory or sarcastic here. You might not agree with the content but it states an opinion that many would agree with.
Not really related to the story, but I just saw that you can run Gitlab on a Raspberry Pi. Has anyone done this and care to share how well it works? Seems like a nice way to get a Git server for the homelab.

I am ALL for technical advancements. I LOVE that cashier work can be automated so no one has to do that boring job. But we also have to realize the economy is going to have to change to keep up with automation. With the industrial revolution we got a lot of physical jobs taken away, and we were okay because there was still mental work to do. But more and more of that mental work is being taken over by computers too. Where do humans fit in when there's no physical labor and only very little mental labor with the way the economy is currently set up? Eventually there will be barely any human work left.

We have to move to a post-scarcity style economy at some point if you want people to not be upset. That's where things like universal basic income or at least lower-hours work weeks come into play.
That's pretty strange. It's possible for a mis-shift to not skip timing, but to be high enough to float the valves momentarily and allow for a valve (or more) to kiss a piston. This can lead to a very minor bend in valves to cause an idle misfire, until the valve eventually fatigues and drops. Diagnosable through a leakdown.

A foreign object through the intake tract would be a more likely case for a 0 gap plug, as it would basically require a broken piston or valve to otherwise close up the gap on the plug and you're not missing this.

Either way, absolutely terrible on their behalf and a zero sense diagnosis.
By definition, aren't all attributes of our Universe exactly what we would expect to see if we were in a simulation of a Universe with those attributes?
I think the big shift happening now was about this. People realized they shared there information when THEY played a stupid app game like Candy Crush.

But almost no one realized that there employment history was being shared with the Trump Campagin, because THEIR GRANDMA took a personality quiz to find out "Which Golden Girl She Was Most Like".

And where did we consent to this actually? When I signed up for Facebook 3rd party apps didn't exist. When my friends started installing them, I thought I was protected because I stayed away. I consented to sharing my information with Friends obviously, but with 3rd party apps they install???

I'd really like to see how that language was written, for a condition that didn't even exist yet.
The full paper is open access. Those wires are going to thermocouples, not Peltier devices: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03162-7/figures/2

There is a heat sink, but it's not dissipating electrically produced heat. From the paper:

During day-time water production, the enclosure is closed and the solar absorber side is covered with an optically transparent thermal insulator (OTTI aerogel). The MOF layer is heated by exposure to solar irradiance, causing water release (desorption). The desorbed water vapour diffuses from the MOF layer to the condenser due to a concentration gradient. Accumulation of vapour in the enclosure leads to saturation conditions and consequently, the condensation process occurs at ambient temperature. The heat of condensation is dissipated to the ambient by a heat sink.
Could just be coincidence, but this was signed at roughly the same time that China started selling oil futures in yuan. Some see that as a big threat to the primacy of the dollar in international oil trading.

> Telephone systems and television cable systems are not technically "areas" either, yet have protections under the first amendment.

Users of telephone systems have free speech protections against the operator of those systems not because of the first amendment (and especially not because of applications of that to physical common areas against private property owners, which applications don't actually exist—the First Amendment has specifically and repeatedly been held not to apply even in that case against the property owner), but because of common carrier regulations.

Nope, it's not modularized, just a group of *-hooks to trigger, update and report pipelines (and their statuses) GitLab <-> Github (a 2-way communication channel) you'll get the status when opening PRs right in GitHub and so on.
I understand the sentiment, but think about it like this: You've been working at a company for six months. Recruiters, good and bad, have been sending you offers to interview for all sorts of jobs. A recruiter finally sends you an opportunity that you can't turn down (2x compensation, more vacation, dream position at dream company, shorter commute with same pay, etc). You interview, you ace it, you get the offer.

Do you turn it down to build more tenure at your current company? Or do you accept because it improves your situation right now?

Rinse, wash, repeat.

Based on the number of emails I've gotten from recruiters (on a stale resume, mind you!), I'd say that "the market" doesn't care about length of time at an employer as much as one might think.
feels like opinion shaping to me. it’s been getting worse, and i’ve thought of an Ask HN type post to see if others notice similar trends
An interesting discussion to be sure. As far as cloud based access go, off the top of my head both Oregon State and Nimbix give access to P8/P9 instances for developers, free or cheap.
One of our members, Raptor do a nice high performance dev workstation, pretty sure they do everything from a mobo+CPU combo to complete systems.
I think lower end than that might well come, we certainly see it as something we'd like to facilitate through the OpenPOWER Foundation.
Really? So then China put tariff on our stuff. Then we do it again, then they do it again. You see that as a good outcome?
Make it clear. Seeing this on a resume is actually a bonus in my mind compared to someone without that experience.

Of course the farther into your career the less important this is, but for new developers I would say this is an important and positive detail to highlight.
They are still useful though. If you want to build an 7-node cluster of 2GB nodes on a single Mini ITX motherboard, it's even cheap. And requires no messy cables.

You are absolutely right. No matter how many down-votes you receive. The scientific illiteracy on HN is astounding considering the audience it tries to cater to (college-educated software engineers).
>I'm kinda hoping for a recession

You don't have to hope -- recessions are a natural, unavoidable, and inevitable component of a typical business cycle.
Not anything that we didn't already know from its (publicly-available) destination orbit.
Surprising no one.

"win-at-any-cost" and "second place is first looser" (sic) do not cohere with safety.
Do you have a source for the better accuracy claim?

I know they turned off Selective Availability ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_for_the_Globa... ) in 2000, so not sure if it's been true since then.

From what I was reading, it seems like semi-codeless approaches to the P(y) (aka military) signal offer approximately similar accuracy to actually being in possession of the key.

Furthermore, the P(y) signal uses the same L1 and L2 frequencies as civilian devices. Which makes sense when you're designing a system with 1970s broadcast technology.

From Wikipedia, it seems like the soon-to-be-launched Block IIIA satellites are the first that will incorporate the ability to spot-beam at higher power ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Block_IIIA#New_navigatio... ).
For the love of Christ (btw not a Christian).

We live in what people of any past time period would appropriately call paradise. We live longer, have the music and culture of the world at our fingertips, and the vast vast majority of Americans do not suffer from unsanitary conditions, having to hunt a giant animal, child slavery, or frequent rape.

And yet our new priests are these pseudoscientific... whiners.

Sure, stress affects the body. So does bitching about the best average living conditions ever. Go take a chi kung class, you have the time. If not, look up meditation on the Internet. Can't afford it? We have these amazing institutions called libraries. Walk 10 miles to one, its good for you.

No one SHOULD care. Please. Grow the fuck up.
Keep in mind, the US is by far the LEAST protectionist country according to the WTO, with China being the most, and Europe somewhere in the middle.

Europe also has anti-dumping and high tariffs on China, with some steel import tariffs as high as 71.9% in some cases to prevent dumping. Cars being shipped from the U.S. into Europe faced a 10% import duty while European cars into the U.S. face only a 2.5% percent duty.

China makes its immensely difficult for US based companies to enter Chinese markets, and IP enforcement is abysmal. Fixing this access imbalance was the only thing good the TPP had going for it, but the concessions were too much and ultimately it was scrapped.

I sincerely hope this does bring everyone back to the negotiating table eventually for a better deal.
So with you brother!

Had a "friend" call me the other day and say: "My old tech-guy retired and won't help me anymore. I hired a new company and they're charging me $150/hr for troubleshooting, which they're slow at and my secretary ended up fixing the last problem. So I don't want to use them. I really need a new Quickbooks server and computers. Can you do this for me - I'll pay you!"

I tell him I'm not the right person, but he's having none of it. "Come-on, I'm in a spot. I'll pay you!"

I hang up and I'm stewing. But, I can't really put my finger on why I'm so pissed off.

So, I'm sorting through this idea and keep having these "WAIT" moments - short for "What Am I Thinking" (probably should be WTFAIT, but..)

My sorting goes like this:
- I could do this - I could help him out. I know Windows, I've heard of Quickbooks. I've set up my own network.
- WAIT-I work on a MBP and only touch windows intermittently.
- I don't know QuickBooks. Maybe I can look up what I need on the internet (go off and search...find a few issues like the version he has doesn't work on Windows 10)
- WAIT-I don't deal with this stuff day-to-day - I'm going to run into unforeseen issues. But, I can mitigate that by researching it ahead of time. But it's risky - I could miss something.
- It's not fair for him to have to pay me for all those hours researching stuff I don't know.
- WAIT-I'm going to do this on my own time?
- But he's in a spot. And I could make a few bucks on the side when he needs additional stuff going forward.
- WAIT-I could end up having to fix any issues that come up for a long time. Like months, years.
- It's hard to find good tech support, right?

...and on...

- WAIT-There's plenty of tech support out there. He's gotta know hundreds. Why is he calling me?

Finally...I realize that my "friend" is like many small businesses - cheap. He's hoping I'll treat it like a hobby, charge him a low hourly rate, and eat all the hours I spend getting up to speed. Sorta like doing charity work - but not for a charity.

- Then I called him back and said: "I'm not the right person to do this. It's not that I'm being modest. It's that even though I know there are some pitfalls, I don't know what all the pitfalls are. Which could mean spending a ton of time, making mistakes and who knows what else. So, if you want to do this on your own, I'm willing to help. But it would be just as a friend and I couldn't possibly charge you for it."

I haven't heard back form him...

No one wants "real" food, that is for sure. We always try to stay and shop in residential neighborhoods when we travel, and if you look at what people have in their baskets, it is pretty boring. I would have gone insane in Puerto Rico eating mofongo (fried plantains, but very starchy) every day of the week, or beans and rice with plain tortillas in Mexico. Or dal (lentils) in India. But a lot of that is relative income, so I think it's more what people would eat if they could afford it. I just heard from a southern Indian colleague of mine that basmati rice is considered "too heavy" for daily consumption and is saved for special occasions. Most of the real highlight dishes in any cuisine are for feast meals, it seems.

This has nothing to do with work in the past being more healthy. It is not a this or that situation.
It’s harder to hide the age bias if you cut pay.
Sure they do - especially when the supply chain itself already offers services for that kind of volumes. Take Magna for example, they have worked with both BMW and Daimler(-Chrysler) on modern low to mid-volume assembly projects (while also manufacturing the G class super old-school style :) ) and their plant in Austria is specialized for quick retooling to new models. They're starting with the new Jaguar I-Pace EV this year.
So...

I sit on the POWER Customer Advisory Board, what you have raised has certainly been something I've told IBM multiple times over the last few meetings I've had with them.

I plan to continue pushing on this front.
Software automation / ML. Customers are usually any sufficiently large enterprise client. Typically back office jobs.

E.g. "the stuff that accounting has to do every month to keep the company operating" or "half of your call center workload"
Even assuming a CPU that would only consume 6 mW when decoding video, and nothing else (DRAM, wireless) draining power, then (at 15fps) the display is only drawing 0.5 mW, or 1/12-th of the CPU power consumption. Even if you were to assume a display that draws no power, that would only increase battery life by 8%. A more realistic estimate would be 1% to 2%. Nothing revolutionary about that.
