You certainly could, and gamedev tools are better than ever before at modelling real world physics. However, I would submit that if you want to simulate a robotic arm, it would be better to use tools specifically designed for that purpose. There are lots of reasonable-fidelity simulators of real robot arms which work with Gazebo, and by using the larger ROS ecosystem, you can also process simulated camera or depth camera data using standard pipelines, which will also be truer to life than using Unity.

See for example: http://sdk.rethinkrobotics.com/intera/Gazebo_Tutorial, http://wiki.ros.org/ur_gazebo, http://wiki.ros.org/katana_gazebo_plugins
If you don't need interaction, why do you care if the install scripts run some time later via SMF or what have you? Is there there a desire for the pkg installation command to be synchronous? Certainly it could be made to be, when running on the running OS that is being modified, and I wouldn't object. But I do object to running pkg scripts from the pkg program itself, for all the reasons given earlier.
He got bent over. Perhaps he did not have enough money or influence to overcome this predicament. His punishment seems quite severe considering the scandals and lack of justice over the last few years (e.x Elizabeth Holmes, HSBC, JPM, etc).
Strange luck you've had there. Odd.

I've owned three Macs over many years, and at least in my own experience, they have been the most reliable machines I've owned in the twenty years I've been developing. I still have a 2011 13-inch MBP that despite a hard drive replacement is still whirring along fine. My main dev machine is a 15-inch 2016 model that is the most dependable I've personally experienced.

Ask HN: Why does [flagged] sometimes appear in a post title?
I'm familiar with [dead]. At the moment, there is a submission on the "new" page (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16869963) that has [flagged] in the title. I've never seen that before, is it added when a post has been flagged enough that its close to being dead? Something else?

Just curious as I don't remember ever having seen that before.
Once you have possession of a gold token, no one can stop you from trading it, because of the blockchain. Converting your gold token into gold and having it shipped to you may be problematic, but once you have the gold token, it's transferrable.

Maker is decentralized, the problem there would be a bug in the smart contract.

And Digix being a failure / scam, that is indeed a failure point.

But what MakerDAO and Dai represents is not some "magic blockchain thinking", it is based on rational economic incentives.
The short answer is that the only way to do what dataclasses do as a base class is via python metaclasses, and you can only have one metaclass. So this way, you can dataclassify something that inherits from a metaclass.
It's a matter of perspective about who's starting hostilities when a questioner asks with no obvious investment of effort! But that way leads to endless squabbles fairly soon.

Clearly it's good to deter such people, but where I think SO could improve a little is if it had some more up front deterrence, and thus avoided more of the naive (some would say lazy) questioners from proceeding, only to get embarrassed/called out. They do try to identify similar questions but perhaps a specific step right before a new user submits asking them to highlight which part of their question covers what they've already tried/researched (with a friendly option to add such a part if they've merely overlooked it)

Like you, I've never seen it particularly unfair or harsh, but smoothing things along helps everyone.
DAI is set up so that it's not dependent on ETH always going up. People create DAI by locking up ETH (or in the future, other assets) as collateral. Currently for ETH, you have to lock up 150% of the value that you take out in DAI (but you can collateralize higher than that if you like). If the price of ETH falls below a certain value, then a position can be liquidated automatically by the system, to cover the position.

DAI has a goal of adding additional forms of collateral in the future. One could see a coin like DAI being backed by a mix of Gold, real estate, commodities, or securities to achieve greater stability.

what you've suggested seems OK technically, but i feel like you're making an assumption that originating source of traffic determines citizenship of the user.

it could very well be that an EU citizen in Asia or the US is collected upon given your algorithm. if that's the case, are you not in violation of GDPR?

but, at the risk of rabbit-holing, your suggestion would be a pretty fundamental change to how the web works. in effect, you'd be moving toward a splintered web, where content is basically region locked.

It's natural for things to seem this way, but that's because there's enough data on HN to produce seeming patterns of all kinds. Overwhelmingly, it's just users being users.

By “native libraries” you mean “C libraries”?

If so, then that’s correct, as rustc can’t compile C code. You need a C -> wasm compiler, and that’s emscripten.

So that means wasm has already been inlined and loops unrolled? How will this all interact with vectorization or insurrection choice?

I think the VM is going to need to be just like every other VM (once inlining is introduced, why even bother with trying to optimize wasm before the JIT).

If wasm is going to be so good, then you could retart java to it? I know a lot of high performance java shops that would love to get rid of the GC in Java. But Hotspot can be an optimizing beast.
This works fine for calls from your landline or cellphone. It doesn't work as well go businesses which may legitimately split incoming and outgoing service, so the outgoing carrier really has no way to know what source numbers are legitimate. There's also a pretty big business in traffic resale, and none of those guys have any idea.

What would be more useful is accessible path information, so I can complain to my carrier about a call, and they can find out where it came from and throw people or companies off the network.

In this case, they do. DAI's system is run entirely on the blockchain. It's auditable and decentralized. The biggest risk to DAI is if the value of the collateral crashed below the amount of DAI in circulation. The system has incentives in place to prevent this from happening. I'm not saying it's bullet proof, but I think it's a highly resilient system. I think adding multiple types of collateral should protect against the situation where ETH drops rapidly to near zero.

We’re really sorry that you ran into this. There are a couple things we can help you with:

- We give users the ability to disable the default rules and mark transactions as safe if you write in to support@stripe.com (so in the example you gave of a user clearing transactions with his or her bank, if Radar incorrectly blocked a subsequent payment because of high card velocity, you could mark it as safe and subsequent payments would be allowed).

- Radar surfaces the primary reason a transaction is believed to be high-risk, but that is never the only reason (so the primary reason might be that the IP is in country X, but that doesn’t mean there’s a blanket ban on X—just that that reason combined with everything else we saw across thousands of signals resulted in our giving the payment a high score). It didn’t quite make it in under the wire for today’s launch, but we’re working on making the explanations more detailed.

We believe that Radar 2.0 (and in particular Radar for Fraud Teams) should also be helpful here:

- With Radar for Fraud Teams, you can customize the threshold at which Radar blocks charges—so if false positives are very costly for your business (because you have large margins, e.g.), you can tune Radar to reflect that; you can also specify lists of trusted payment attributes to “allow” (if you have known good card numbers, e-mail addresses, IPs, etc.)

- Radar 2.0’s custom machine-learning models (for businesses that have enough data with Stripe) should adapt to the unique circumstances/patterns/trends of your business, and

- Radar 2.0’s ML overall has substantially improved performance, which you should see after you’ve upgraded.
Digix is incorporated in Singapore and goes through the same audits as any other gold storage facility, has their gold insured, etc. If you own paper gold that is backed by gold in a similar facility, then this is no different. If you own gold futures then it is ultimately backed by physical gold in facilities (although perhaps warped through various contracts and leveraged 5x).

It just happens that Digix gold is issued as an ERC20 token rather than registered with a physical gold exchange.

You're right, I probably used the wrong words there. By barebones distro, I actually meant "headless debian with minimal packages configured to fit nicely inside 1/3rd of a 32 Gb SD card".

What do all those extra gigs do? They sure as hell don't make my rpI faster that's for sure.
