Apple Pay lets you spend that much money? I think with Google Pay + my bank the limit is $100 / transaction, after which you have to use your card + pin (which, let's be honest, makes sense.
Checksumming is like a myth on HN already. No, it's not useful on its own to the user or to the filesystem, but it is useful to the filesystem if it can transparently heal the data. Whole disk replication doesn't address your reliability concerns as much as you think either, doesn't work all that well in general and is a burden to maintain. Doing it properly requires treating the filesystem as a distributed system where disks can join and leave, where everything is sharded, where rebalancing, self-healing, syncing, resyncing is all automatic and blazing fast. And so on.

Nowadays most of the work in storage systems is in distributed systems, and local filesystems are treated as just another unreliable layer.

Hope this gives you some ideas why there are no filesystems like that.

Arguing against an autonomous military is like arguing against machine guns or any other major technological innovation that makes it easier to kill people.

The only things we have generally outlawed is mass killing devices such as gases and nuclear weapons and I guess firebombing in retrospect (e.g. Dresden.)

x264 or x265 was basically never tuned for PSNR or SSIM what ever metrics. Basically the 30-40% AV1 claimed to be better in those value. And in that case, the x265 developer isn't wrong, it is very much the picture, not the values that matters.

VMAF should hopefully bring much more useful numbers. But we will have to see and put some time in since it is very new.

Given the over provisioning required to be able to ensure a battery will be able to provide a guaranteed amount of energy, such as last say overnight in 5 years, and that batteries are good for a fixed number of cycles after which they have to be replaced, batteries were not competitive with pumped storage and all the civil works that entails on a project currently under construction.
We use Suse with BTRFS at work. I don't know of any instance where we lost data, but the weekly filesystem rebalance that runs during business hours and causes the machine to not respond to anything except pings is a little frustrating.

They can't request a certificate unless you already pointed your domain to their servers. So if you're already doing that for HTTP, requesting an ssl cert so they can enable HTTPS on it is a perfectly valid request... especially when browsers are starting to mark all HTTP sites as insecure.

The only reason you can't buy a belt fed machine gun is because it's a machine gun. It has nothing to do with the magazine, and survived a legal challenge because all the pre-existing firearms that matched that definition were grandfathered in (which coincidentally, is why you can still purchase a fully automatic M4 for something like $30,000).

Actually not having a fully rendered environment worked for Myst. If you were looking out a window or at a door, it was a good bet that there was something important to the plot there.

I think if I had a fully VR version, I would've ended up spending too much time on all the ancillary props that were scattered about everywhere.

And I'd end up about a hundred times saying "Oh, there's salt-shaker on the table. I'd better try to pick it up and examine it." rather than heading towards the stuff that actually advanced the story.
It's probably worthwhile to continue researching the space, but it's hard to see the economics working out--especially outside of small business jets. There just aren't that many people who care enough about extra hours that they can already travel in a fair bit of comfort if they're willing to pay for it. This is especially true if the design can't handle truly long distance travel like trans-Pacific.

Although it's not quite the same thing, I'd observe that British Airways has even cut back on its business class-only flights from London to New York. There just aren't that many people willing to pay thousands of dollars to either save a few hours or to travel in more comfort for a few hours.
Unfortunately I don't know if it the the government we need to worry about.

We assume that the military will be the one to implement this... drone technology is very cheap now (relatively) and so are image recognition systems.

A rouge / non-state organization could easily and relatively cheaply create automated turrets and automated drones. Heck, Youtube has tons of videos of Americans doing it in their backyard just for "fun".

Would they be as good as a state military's $10MM drone? Probably not. But when you can build 10k of them from the price of one, who cares?

Really we should be worried about both.
I may be susceptible to nostalgia, but I still go back and replay them from time to time, especially Myst. The puzzles and story hold up very well, and the game was never about immersive graphics.

Do people generally consider nanomsg to be a "failed experiment"? Is anyone using it for their projects?

The author's tone makes it seem like I shouldn't use nanomsg. nanomsg in turn makes it seem like I shouldn't use ZeroMQ.

So what would people recommend me to use right now for a project? Are these issues all that serious?

My intended use would be for a simple friendly pub-sub API for programs to talk to each other, locally or across a network.
Agreed - this doesn't seem to make sense to me. And the docs seem to corroborate this:

> Note that .read and .write rules shallower in the database override deeper rules, so read access to /foo/bar/baz would still be granted in this example even if a rule at the path /foo/bar/baz evaluated to false.

This seems unreasonable at first glance. Does anyone know the rationale for it?

But the counterpoint is that it's too easy to fall into a 'We MUST intervene to protect democracy/progress/freedom/whatever' if the only political cost is money (which is fairly easy to find for the military), as opposed to blood. Would the Vietnam withdrawal have happened if young Americans weren't dying? It's far too easy to grandstand politically at home while causing immense suffering to foreign populations if there's no blood on the line.

It's not about age discrimination. I'm only 6 years younger than you and while I'm not going to be working at the next cool hipster startup, I've been aggressive about learning the latest technology and moving around jobs to keep my skills current. It's never taken me more than two or three weeks from the time I started looking until I got an offer - and that's with me being relatively picky.

I would have no "security" being at the mercy of one company knowing that if they let me go, it would be hard to find another job. I felt a lot less secure between the time I was 28-34 when I had let my skills atrophy than I do now in my mid 40s and I look at job requirements in my market when I know I meet the qualifications.

As far as title, who cares? I left a job as a "senior architect" because I knew the road map wasn't going to allow me to stay current and took a job as a "senior developer" (making more money) at a company that would let me level up in my technical skills.

There are plenty of stories of artists doing both, it's just really f-ing hard. I'd argue especially for artists, but this is probably true of any passion. [1]

Philip Glass for instance:
"While working, I suddenly heard a noise and looked up to find Robert Hughes, the art critic of Time magazine, staring at me in disbelief. 'But you're Philip Glass! What are you doing here?' It was obvious that I was installing his dishwasher and I told him I would soon be finished. 'But you are an artist,' he protested. I explained that I was an artist but that I was sometimes a plumber as well and that he should go away and let me finish."

> Society needs people who persist in that pursuit.

The persistence is key.

Am I a guitar player or a software developer? We all know I'm a hack developer - in contrast - I feel like I really know what I'm doing with music. Most would assume that because music doesn't pay my bills then I'm not a musician. Compare to a hobbyist/non-paid developer who code-binges at night.

But this is not what the second amendment is about. In the words of Hammilton:

AFAIK WhatsApps crypto isn't too old either but that doesn't seem to prevent HNs resident cryptospecialists from recommending it.

That said: I belive them when they say that WhatsApps crypto is stronger.

On the other hand I would expect them to leave a little note somewhere about WhatsApp being a data collection tool for Facebook that also still happens to works as an instant messaging platform.

Replace gmail with an email server you control.

Replace file storage with a hard disk you control.

Replace chrome with chromium (or, better, firefox).

Replace android with an android fork that uses f-droid instead of the Play store.

And you're done, no more Google usage.

I currently use my Google account only for signing in to YouTube, so that it keeps track of my subscriptions and let me write comments. I use Firefox's "multi-account containers" so that only the "YouTube" container knows my Google account. Google Analytics for non-YouTube sites doesn't get to trivially associate me with my Google account, because I look at all other sites in different containers.

If someone created an alternative YouTube interface that allowed you to keep track of subscriptions without telling Google who you are, I'd probably use that rather than logging in to YouTube. Bonus points if it also gives you a disposable Google account with which to write comments.
No, it doesn't work like that, backup is not redundancy. To detect a bad block you first need to read it, you can't just know when a file becomes corrupt. And reading every block is very expensive and doesn't provide predictable guarantees. Instead proper backup has built in redundancy to account for lost blocks and so does proper data storage. Checksums are not visible to users in neither case.

And backup has to be incremental to prevent disasters.

> If I gave you a function that accepted Java source code as text and interpreted it, how would you detect that I was first converting it to Java bytecode and then interpreting that bytecode?

> You couldn't, so it's an irrelevant internal detail. The function interprets Java source code.

In a Lisp interpreter the actual source code is Lisp data, not text. One can give the function access to its source code, allow it to inspect it or even to change it - while the interpreter is executing this source code.

In a Lisp interpreter, the code can even modify the source code (we are not talking about the byte-code or machine code) while it is running.

CL-USER 20 > (let ((code (copy-tree '(+ 1 2 bar))))
`(defun foo (bar)
(print ,code)
(unless (eq (first ',code) '-)
(setf (first ',code) '-)
(foo bar))
(values)))
(DEFUN FOO (BAR) (PRINT (+ 1 2 BAR)) (UNLESS (EQ (FIRST (QUOTE (+ 1 2 BAR))) (QUOTE -)) (SETF (FIRST (QUOTE (+ 1 2 BAR))) (QUOTE -)) (FOO BAR)) (VALUES))

CL-USER 21 > (eval *)
FOO

CL-USER 22 > (foo 41)

44
-42

As you can see the function modified itself so that the operator + was replaced with a - and then called itself again with the same argument.

If we now look at the function, we can see that it was indeed changing itself:

CL-USER 23 > (pprint (function-lambda-expression #'foo))

(LAMBDA (BAR)
(DECLARE (SYSTEM::SOURCE-LEVEL #<EQ Hash Table{0} 41B04012D3>))
(DECLARE (LAMBDA-NAME FOO))
(PRINT (- 1 2 BAR))
(UNLESS (EQ (FIRST '(- 1 2 BAR)) '-) (SETF (FIRST '(- 1 2 BAR)) '-) (FOO BAR))
(VALUES))

The PRINTED expression value is now computed with the - operator.

The interpreted execution itself allows also different things then the compiled execution. For example if we have a break point, we can see the actual source code currently executed and we can change it while in the break point and then resume execution. Since the interpreter runs the source code, we can also can modify the interpreter to do something else with the source code, while it is executing it - like recording it or tracing it or stepping it.

Arguments are fairly weak. I think saying "It’s certainly not far-fetched to suppose that a group like ISIS, for example, could acquire A.I. capabilities." is almost equal to saying they could acquire F-22 fighters or B-2 bombers as well. Developing sophisticated AI-based integrated weapon system is not that easy.
It depends what you mean by "discoverability". YouTube's algorithmic search may surface related videos, but what if you want to discover other views of a topic, for example, a timeline of all the news, including videos, on a topic[1]?

> Temin avoids mentioning Asians, who have a higher average income than whites

Asians have higher average income than whites, but they are not wealthy in general. Income != wealth. Also, asians are the least likely to be promoted or advance in their careers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_ceiling

Asians are underrepresented in the billionaire class or the elite class.

Also, "asian" is a very fraught term. Some of the poorest people in america are asians ( hmong, cambodians, etc ).

Asians are discriminated against in college admissions.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/04/us/harvard-asian-admissio...

> despite many being relative newcomers to the country.

Asians are relative newcomers for a reason. Racist laws which banned asians from immigrating to the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924

Also, multigeneration asians like the chinese and japanese had their wealth stolen many times in the US. During the pogroms against the chinese in the 1800s, their gold mines, stores, homes, etc were all stolen from them. The japanese americans had their property stolen by the US government.

> That would undermine the narrative of a static class structure.

It doesn't. Your argument just shows that some asians went into higher paying industries ( primarily tech ). But asians are highly underrepresented in management, C-Suite, boards, etc of the tech industry.

In other words asians are primarily confined in the lower levels of the tech industry. Just because the tech industry pays their lower level staff better than other industries doesn't change anything.

Asian americans in the US are proof of "static class structure" as they are primarily stuck in their "class structure".

Things obviously have improved for all minorities in the US. Asians aren't being lynched and robbed by the government/people like in the 1800s and asians are allowed to immigrate to the US, unlike for most of the 1900s, but asians are still a minority and they are obstacles for asians.

This isn't CSS, its a well documented behavior of Firebase Realtime Database because its "just" nested JSON. if you request one node in the JSON and it passes a security rule it gives you the entire node. Having to traverse all children for additional rules would be less performant.

I do think that if this is such a common behavior the rules DSL could be revised so that fewer people fall down the "pit of success". At the very least do not allow people to define rules that have already been defined by parents. This should be part of Firebase, the fact that theres a startup providing this service is the biggest code smell I can think of telling you there's a problem here.
Actually, you can buy a machine gun. It just requires a fuckload of money, time, and the willingness to go under the microscope by the ATF in order to obtain the necessary licenses.
I would give just the opposite advice - a man with one behind can't dance a two weddings. He has the savings, go for it. If he fails, go out and get another job.

Either decide to go all out or don't do it all. The stress of trying to juggle a full time job and a starting a business and being there for your family isn't worth it.
