Can you refute the claims in the video posted? The style is unrelated to the validity of the claims.
That's true, but getting paid a lot so that the personal sacrifices would be that much greater isn't greater moral ill for the news anchors. They could go and get regular jobs (ie at median pay when starting a different career, but are over-leveraged, basically. That's a tough spot to be in, but it doesn't make it OK to participate in further debasement of the system.

Our goal is that every patient receives the highest quality and value of care based on the latest medical knowledge and data.

We are looking for someone with serious talent and drive to join our core team. This person will be responsible for securely scaling our AWS-based infrastructure.

Healthcare has some big problems and we are tackling one of the biggest. Delivering to-the-second results of predictive algorithms and actionable clinical algorithms based on live patient data from multiple sources requires a incredibly secure and well-orchestrated infrastructure. If this is something that excites you, lets talk.

Our stack: Linux, Node (ExpressJS, PM2), React, Aurora (Postgres), MongoDB, AWS ELB, AWS EC2 nginx, and many other AWS suite tools.

As someone else suggested, this is likely part of our GGC program. If you can give me info on which ISP + Geographic region you're in, I can take a look and see if there's anything in our logs to indicate a problems; you can email me details at myusernamehere at google dot com with details, since I don't routinely check Hacker News.

If you can reproduce a bad experience, and right click on the player, click "Get Debug Info", and share that result, it's the most helpful thing for us to dig into problems.

How can a device that is only activated by listening not always be listening? If I turn off Siri on my phone the microphone is supposed to go off.

Edit: I know about the wake word. It was a statement on the quote that a device that only works on voice wouldn't be "listening".

I deleted the app from my phone about 2 years ago, and since then have rarely looked at FB. If I did, it was because someone was being annoying and doing some kind of group coordination on a FB page instead of text or email.

I think I am at the point now where I'd feel comfortable deleting FB entirely. I think I might want to download some of the photos, but I'm not even sure about that either.

Back in my day, we had film cameras, and the fact that you only had a limited amount of film, you didn't snap pictures unless it was something you really wanted to remember. Ever since I got a digital camera, the number of photos I have grew exponentially, making it literally impossible to look through all of them. I imagine I have more photos than I have time in the rest of my life assuming I looked at each one for 5 seconds.

> it's still a useful look at how Nim's leading web framework compares to Rust's leading web framework.

I'm not sure Rocket is Rust's leading framework. It certainly looks nicer than some, but still requires Rusts's nightly build, IIRC. I'm sure that means a lot of people opt for something like actix-web, or just fall back on hyper. My impression is that Rust's users are pretty widely spread across the frameworks that exist, so it may not be that you picked the wrong framework, but that isn't really a "leading" framework yet.

Someone might jump in with better info on the usage rates than me and correct me though, since this is mostly observational on my part. :)

The whole point of quantum mechanics is that classical physics doesn't fully describe the world.

Quantum mechanics doesn't have a point, it's a theory based on observation of quantum phenomena. It is currently irreconcilable with classical physics, which we still use to model the universe on useful scales.

Quantum mechanics therefore are irrelevant here. The current standard model, which is the best we've got right now, is deterministic on classical scales.

Which brings me back to my original comment:

Unless our current understanding of physics is completely wrong

It's at least a little wrong, but to say that our theory of classical physics isn't deterministic is just wrong. Until we have a better theory, that's just what we have to go with.
I ran a full recursor on my laptop for about two years. It's not a great choice, especially if you're not stationary. A lot as a lot of environments intercept DNS and poison your cache, the answers for lb'd names also change depending on your geolocation (so you have to flush it every time you move). Your queries are also not really private as you the resolver has to talk to multiple authoritatives to get you your name in a plain text. The performance is also not as great even with prefetching, as you don't benefit from a shared cache.

Probably the best thing you can do is to run something like https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy which at least retains privacy between you and the resolver, and use public resolvers you trust.

If you don't trust any of them, you could start a resolver on a VM somewhere, but then again that can be traced back to you, so it depends on your threat model.

Both of these options are better than running a full resolver on localhost (unless you expect the recursive DNS infrastructure to fail, while authoritative remains operational).
Not only does it get shared, it gets shared in bulk. That's a huge difference between the intended use and what actually happens.

When my child gets older and leaves home, I won't be saying its the end of him. He has just matured.

Similarly, this just marks the maturity level of Windows, where there really is no significant innovation in operating systems release after release. Nothing like win 3.1 -> win 95 etc. Its been that way for a while. Obviously its cash that motives this move from Microsoft, however I wouldn't want Microsoft changing the location of the start menu every release just to stir up the market and justify a release (for example) every year.

I remember a cherished time where the next operating system release felt like an upgrade to myself as well as my PC. I could do more than before. No longer. We have it all nowadays and have became spoilt.

Maybe their transition is incomplete and they're not ready to announce yet?

It is not a very stimulating piece of music, at least as far as listening goes. It was probably fun to write, and maybe even to perform. Still, I think it is important for such art to exist, to the extent that it opens up space for new ways of thinking and creating to come into existence.

All ISPs in Denmark are required to implement a filtering list of somewhat arbitrarily chosen websites, including a number of torrent sites, illegal pornography and probably others. There is a very reasonably fear that this could be used for political purposes.

This filter list is implemented through DNS, making third-party DNS services the most practical workaround.

And the battery circuitry should prevent this as well. So even if the charger is faulty there is supposed to be a thermal runaway protection circuit right on top of the battery itself that would cut the power to the battery before something catastrophic would happen.

Also, the battery should be given some room to swell in the design.

What definition of "economic growth" are you using for your first claim? It doesn't seem to match the common expectation. I'd assume that net growth is what we care about in the context of public policy.

I can't parse this-- yes, a TV failing after 5 years is bad. Did you mean.. the equally low end TVs were a lot better than the black friday no-name deals? (which, from what I've seen is not true.. often black friday deals ARE brand names).

Or are you saying the replacement after 5 years, a low end, was much better than the previous one it replaced? But you said they were both better, not the newer one was better.
> My major gripes have been fixed, I can just walk up and take a car at most airports

Maybe we have very different patterns of flying, but this has never been my experience. It's always exactly the opposite: there's a line of ten families at the rental desk, each person takes at least ten minutes (!) to process, and the desk has one, maybe two people, for a total of half an hour in line or more. It's so phenomenally aggravating once you've finally gotten off the plane and just want to get to your hotel that it has left me with no sympathy for these rental companies whatsoever.

Which I suppose is the real brilliance of both Uber and Turo: if you're going to disrupt an industry by breaking the law, pick a business that absolutely no one is going to go to bat for. Despite how brazenly illegal Uber was in many cases, nobody cared because the taxis were just that awful.

It's possible that things will turn out differently for Turo now that people are wise to Uber's game, but the rental companies would still do well to remember that one of the things that helps these illegal disruptors prosper is when people are so sick of the status quo that they happily turn a blind eye to the law-breaking. Make your business suck less, and then maybe people might actually stick up for you.

How are we to know who they are when they have effective control of the media?

homelessness and financial ruin

News anchors in the Bay Area are paid about $4-500k. They may be operating under onerous contracts with clawbacks, but they could budget strategically or fight those contracts in court to expose how bad they are, either personally or via their union. Very few people have that kind of financial room to maneuver or the public following that would bring a sympathetic audience for a legal battle.
> In 2002, the most common resolutions were 4:3, not 16:9, not only because notebooks were not mainstream yet.

Sure. I didn't really intend to get into fine-grained technical details, but yes, back then 4:3 was the predominant aspect ratio. In fact, some of the 17" LCD displays from the time were that awkward 5:4 resolution of 1280x1024.

But putting specifics aside, the broader point is that computing technology—at least with respect to the most popular display resolution and amount of memory—is stagnant. In this thread there are people arguing for technology asceticism and making the point that 4GB and 1366x768 are good enough. And maybe they are for some people. I am surprised there are so many who are satisfied with this particular flavor of "good enough." (Though I would like to see how well that correlates with mobile device technology asceticism.)

I want the hardware industry to do better, and I thought things had started improving a few years ago when 4K displays emerged and the shackles of "High Definition" (1920x1080) were cast aside. But this data shows adoption of 4K displays for computing is so low it's not even measured as such. That disappointed me, but it's unsurprising. What surprised me was realizing 1920x1080 isn't the top dog I thought it was—in fact, the situation is worse than I thought.

And to my mind, all of this feeds into the subject at hand: an operating system vendor getting stuck. The embrace of "good enough" is suffocating.

I have a Toshiba laptop that has the uptime of an average server. It was part of their Qosmio line, the gaming laptops of their day, and weighed about ten pounds making it difficult to lug, so the thing has pretty much been on and plugged in nonstop since 2010 or so. It reboots maybe once every two months to complete Windows 7 updates.

Never had a problem with it. Not sure if batteries are just getting worse or if it's a result of the trend of trying to make things thinner-and-lighter such that there's not room for the battery to expand as it's likely to do over time without exploding.
Upon careful reading of the comment to which you are responding, I found that it neatly addresses very precisely the keen, sensible, and reasonable point you have raised. Perhaps you have had an experience significantly from mine?
I don’t disagree. I only watch local stations for weather and traffic unless a major event takes place in my city.

I felt firsthand the crushing effect of clear channel on radio in my market and do not want that to happen to television.

Edit: I’m still kind of confused why local stations cover national stories unless they concern a local event or story (or just do a super generic AP-style readout if there’s a major US story). But most of my local stations have national affiliates that already cover national stories (ABC NBC CBS)

I'm under the impression that what also makes jemalloc fast is that it has a richer API than glibc malloc (in a way that isn't drop-in compatible, so libc-compatible malloc can't ever provide it), thereby giving it more info that it can use for optimization (but also stymying tools like valgrind).
