Also, the voting members don't necessarily actually decide their own vote. Often if they have no opinion on a category they will ask a relative or friend, who may or may not actually be involved in the industry.

This happens a lot in the voting for best animated feature. It is fairly common for an older voter to have seen none of the nominees. He asks his grandchildren what "cartoon" they liked best that year, or remembers which movie's merchandise they frequently wear, and that's the one he votes for.

I remember seeing a couple article at animation publications where they asked a bunch of voters how they voted and why in years where the winner differed from what the majority of people working in animation expected, and found that the "my grandchildren liked it" factor was the main reason.

I wonder how it works for the more technical categories, like best sound editing? Asking your grandchildren "what movie's sound editing did you like this year?" is probably not going to get a useful response.

Still confused by this.

How is a domain a "lead"? Aren't leads usually potential customers and, therefore, people?

Are you saying you have a list of target companies, and you want to tell -- by visually examining their website -- whether the company is likely to need your service?
You'll have to convince me that what makes us special is hardware and not software.

This doesn’t at all address criminal behavior or use of drones though - if one is willing to commit a crime with a drone, surely one would be willing to extend that crime by removing the nameplate?
The anecdotes of hundreds of national and world class athletes I have trained, raced, and interacted with over the years is worth more than any study you can paste here, my friend.

I suppose you are unlikely to see anyone here back me up since HackerNews isn't exactly an athletic demographic.

Fever, red eyes, overflowing mucus, extreme soreness and raw throat for days or over a week - are you trying to tell me that this isn't sick? Maybe that's your normal state, but I've seen hundreds of cases of amateur and professional athletes reduced to this shortly after performing national caliber efforts.

Depending on food type it can easily take over 2 days to digest food. https://www.mayoclinic.org/digestive-system/expert-answers/f...
That’s just bizzare. Most men don’t watch figure skating or gymnastics, the audience is mostly female. So I’m not sure why they would be sexualized or how they would “trade” on the sexualization; there’s no money in it.
I don't see how I could conclude anything about how well understood implicit bias is from one or two examples of it materializing or failing to materialize.
You only present anecdata here, and you numerous times refer to "any serious athlete" or "any serious cyclist". But where is your scientific evidence supporting your claims? The article claims these claims are myths and you haven't contradicted that here.
As far as I know, there are no implications for how physical structures are organized in space (e.g. spatial crystal lattices). The signatures we've observed were in a crystal with a very well-characterized lattice structure, and could be observed in systems with different geometries as well (i.e., we didn't have to go out of our way to find a "special" crystal lattice).
You’re not even mentioning CO2 concentration. I work in a large, open office with seemingly sufficient airflow, but after buying a CO2 detector on a whim I’ve seen that it frequently reaches 1200ppm, and you actually can tell that you feel like crap when that happens.

I can’t imagine if the whole office was filled with people exercising.
I'm the same height as you as recently dropped 5kg to 81kg due to fasting and cutting starch from my diet. Why wife started freaking out because I was looking so skinny (I'm not remotely fat normally either). I can easily burn 4000 kcal a day. All it takes is one hour on the bike. I burn ~3000 kcal on rest days. You have an endurance optimised build, I have a sprinters build. Everyone is different. Those numbers seem perfectly normal to me.
Although Cordyceps is often portrayed as a thing that's only found in tropical rainforests or the highlands of Tibet, this isn't actually accurate. You can find it relatively easily in NYC parks.

The ones here aren't medicinal though, nor do they make for super dramatic YouTube videos, so most people don't know they exist.
You could argue that all crystals travel through time
>It just sounds like you're looking for a narrative with ulterior motivations so you can easily dismiss his concerns.

I don't think I am, though it's entirely possible. I like to feel like I'm disagreeing with those concerns on their own terms, not using tricks to get out of "legitimately" disagreeing with them.

>Discrimination of any kind is a fallacious argument, that someone doesn't need assistance simply because they belong to a particular group. It's just as fallacious as treating someone like a criminal simply because they belong to a particular group.

Similarly, I disagree with this point on its own terms, I think. The position we are in right now is trying to claw our way out of a situation where we have a lot of marginalised groups who've been harmed not by saturday morning cartoon bigots, but by systemic issues. The problem with claiming to be a purely meritocratic approach is that then the bias is simply in how "merit" is determined. There is no metric which has no bias, and because of this history of systemic oppression where, say, perfectly intelligent members of some minority may be less likely to go to university for a hundred tiny factors, it's very difficult to build a metric which minimises bias and maximises results.

So a very, very rough transitionary solution is to _accept_ that your hiring practices have biases, and introduce targeted fixes for those biases. This looks like discrimination, but is actually _countering_ existing discrimination.

It's easy to look at it and go "this person is unqualified, which is why they needed a "special" path", but there's little evidence that this is actually true, and most suggestions that minorities are simply worse overall than white men at a given task are usually pretty empty.
I'm multi-lingual and very few of my thoughts are in any "language" unless I'm intending to communicate them with others. When I only spoke English, I don't think my thoughts were in English either, but it was harder to be aware of that fact until I could ask myself which language I was thinking in. The same is true of my dreams. I don't dream in any particular language, other than an occasional word here or there.
>I’m curious how they plan to do continuous integration. The Apple hardware-only clause of the macOS SDK license agreement really crimps the options for CI, especially for open source projects with limited budget.

FoundationDB is a distributed key value store. These almost always run on servers. macOS is not a server OS. Is there any reason to build this on macOS, over, say, FreeBSD.
Ask HN: For new startups, what is the minimum launch checklist?
Obviously it is more than an idea, business plan, and a laptop.

If you were going to start seeking VC tomorrow what would you insist you had ready before stepping out the door?

And what resources are there to help figure out how to build the most effective version of this list possible?
The problem with anecdotes is there is no transparency or verifiability to that data, it's all in your inherently biased memory and mind. Real data is not perfect, but at least I can plug it into my R and see if we get the same results after analysis. If you feel passionately about it, perhaps you can create a survey instrument to gather the data about your trainees, I'd be happy to analyze that data.
As someone that has designed (military) ships, here are my thoughts.

- LNG is definitely happening, and that alone will make a massive difference in emissions.

- No shit smoother bottoms and bulbous bows are better for efficiency, that's been standard practice for decades and large cargo ships are generally not that old.

- Counter rotating props are interesting, I could see that being a big win but the mechanical complexity might not be worth it. Cargo ships are generally kept pretty simple for reliability.

- I doubt we'll see widespread wind or solar power any time soon. The dynamics of wind turbines on top of a pitching platform get pretty wild quick. The energy density of solar doesn't seem high enough.

- Lol, get the fuck out of here with the idea of nuclear power for cargo ships. The US Navy doesn't even bother with that complexity for anything other than subs & carriers where it's the only viable option.
> most certainly untrue

Have you read the article? It’s absolutely true, and the article cites many reasons why (hint, the fact that we cook meat is one of them).
I'm a sucker who bought from nexus one to moto x dev edition (during google ownership of motorola), and all in between... all promised continuous android updates. all had a SINGLE major version update, just like any other flagship phone. don't buy google marketing.

btw, im running recent versions via community roms on all of them, even the nexus one! so not hardware limitation, but the same greed and planed obsolescence at play on other companies makes google abandon phones just the same.

stop spreading lies for them, please.
More Spectre-Class CPU Vulnerabilities to Be Announced Soon?
That's very interesting! I figured it would be something like libcaca, but your project puts an interesting spin on the idea. I like the sliders that dynamically adjust the output.
If there is a utility plateau (i.e. everyone who can justify needing one has one), then one might expect that areas with more disposable income would have more people able to keep purchasing for fashion reasons while nations with tighter margins might continue at more of a replacement rate.
Yet another guardian piece that seems like it was written by an edgy teenager.
When you've got millions of apps, this tends to happen on occasion.
I am in favor of (check)lists for everything. I am actually surprised about how few developers take notes and make list. It’s one of the most important part of my workflow.

Hi, sorry forgot to add that, it’s MIT
If you are into headphones, you could start hanging out on the subreddit. It's a big community, and you'll see many of the current technologies. It could get really expensive, I mean the new Sennheiser closed-back HD820 has a ~$2k price tag (ouch!), but certainly you could call yourself done with a $400 dollar setup, including DAC and Amplifier.

EDIT: You could also try IEMs, Etymotic makes some of the most clear, coherent, natural and neutral sounding. Their TOTL (Top-Of-The-Line) is the ER4 line which has a MSRP of $350, but you could get the same value with the ER3 line at $179.
> I believe the idea is not using DNA for general purpose programming as much as controlling biological systems using the paradigms of the software world.

That's not a new idea. I was doing this in grad school. In my postdoc, my boss wanted to rewrite the DNA control structures of our system. I overrode him and told him that the biochemistry needed to be fixed (manipulating the amino acid sequence and not the promoters). On my branch of the track, I got a 16x improvement in yield (we started from trace). On his branch there was no effect.
From scratch, as in from bar stock and other raw metals? Yes, very easily, in fact. It's technology that is well over 200 years old. Machine guns are 100+ years old.

Making primers and smokeless powder might be tricky, but the mechanical stuff is easy peasy.
The state of the nuclear spin (up or down, or superposition) is definitely something that has been proposed as a quantum bit ("q-bit"), and many quantum computer proposals have used the nuclear spin as their proposed q-bit. The tricky thing is that these nuclear spins are all interacting with each other, and exercising control of the full state in the presence of those interactions is very tricky.
Apple MacBook Pro Butterfly Keyboard Failures Spark Petition for Costly Recall
Is there a precedent for Apple enforcing this clause on providers in the CI space? I vaguely remember some cease-and-disist letters to Hackintosh vendors but I'd imagine that has to do with brand protection.
A company of Apple size likely uses multiple OS', I wouldn't be surprised if they even run Windows servers somewhere.

Judging from their "DevOps" position requirements, their stack is similar to many others out there Chef, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, Java, Python (with accent on Python so maybe Salt Stack), Ruby, Go, Git, C++.

Given their extensive Hadoop infrastructure, likely CentOS or Debian flavor. Some job positions list "RHEL or derivative a plus".

Hydrofoils are generally higher drag at low speed, they only make sense when you want to go faster than displacement speed. That doesn't make sense for most cargo, anything time sensitive is going by air.

And, I have to say, as a navy surface officer, I don't see how much of any of this is going to change the sailor's life. Living on a working ship is a bit like being a mouse on the deck of a lawnmower. For all intents and purposes, you're in the machine, and it will kill you.

There are ways of transferring money to different accounts, but they aren't available to normal individuals. Businesses can arrange to be able to make deposits and withdrawals. So to pay a company, you would give them your account information and ask them to pull the appropriate amount from your account. This is typically only used for large or frequently recurring payments. Most other payments would be done with a credit or debit card.
It's worth watching the video in my references [1] - it's a proper hacker's view of digital audio and how it translates to the analogue domain. Even with a 20khz sound you're not going to get any aliasing at 44khz sample rate. Most people's hearing starts to fall off significantly after around 12khz or so (depending on age). Most cymbals have a fundamental frequency around 2-5khz in my experience.

Also, because cymbal sounds are pretty close to being noise, it's arguable whether it would matter or not. Although if you listen to a 128 kbps MP3 then you can often hear the top end frequency sounds (like cymbals) becoming 'mushy'. To the vast majority of people once you get to 192 kbps it's inaudible, and then above that most people with 'perfect ears' would struggle. And that's with a lossy format, never mind the lossless formats of CDs, WAV or FLAC which is the discussion at hand.

You’re conflating plug-in hybrids with pure EVs here, and even then most of the ones you lost won’t ship 1000 cars per month, let alone 5k. Those are peanuts.

My point is, the needle is just barely starting to move toward EVs - it’s not pegged yet by any means.
Maybe you're just tacking on a general reply to my comment, or maybe you misunderstood what I am saying. When I say "dead on arrival", I mean that your comments are "dead" in that no one can see them (unless they change a setting from default). YOU can see them, but no one else can.

That said, it looks like the mods have fixed it behind the scenes, as your last comment did not show up as "dead".
I think you missed a couple of interesting items. I suspect there will be more feature competition: get ready for water resistant mid and low tier phones, and tons of competition to have the best in class camera in top and mid tier phones.

Ask HN: Which U.S. wireless carrier best protects from phone number hijacking?
Given the importance of phone numbers for security nowadays, I'm curious to know which U.S. wireless carrier(s) has the best procedures in place for preventing unauthorized use/takeover of a phone number? Ideally, I wouldn't be asking this question, but many services still use SMS in their 2-factor auth process and it's scary to think that someone can take over an account by tricking a carrier's customer service agent. Any experience with this?

I agree with you on 16/44.1 audio, I have a transparent DAC that can output 24/96, and on repeated blind tests I have failed to identify which is which, using files from the same source (a 24/96 song converted to 16/44.1). For audio production and mixing 24/96 makes a lot of sense though, because of dynamic range.

The concept of paying for things online is what still sounds silly, despite the dominance of Netflix and Spotify. Can you imagine paying $.50 per Google search? How about a monthly fee to Facebook or Twitter? Reddit (pay by the subreddit)? HN?

What still sounds silly, and has always sounded silly, is micropayments.

But between its user base and Gold, Reddit is well situated to evolve the Internet just a bit further, and implement micropayments. Charge users an optional $5/month, and for users that do pay, take their upvotes and give money to recipients of upvotes from those users.

They could also pay subreddit moderators, and of course Reddit itself from that, plus Stripe Connect makes the backend payments platform stuff easy.
I've been running for twenty years and am currently on a half-year streak with around 15km / day.
In all those years I've been sick for about two weeks all in all. Before working out, that was like the average over half a year.

Conclusion: Figure out what works for you, have a daily routine, add a bit of obsession and stop reading stories about the pros and cons of exercising.
Video: Man 'trying to take selfie with bear' mauled to death
If it's just a URL, why wouldn't that work in other email clients?

(Though personally I'm not a fan of the idea itself)
I should briefly explain why this is here:

NTFS is (usually) case preserving but not case-sensitive. So the OS needs to be able to tell whether EXAMPLE.TXT and example.txt are the "same" name, which means it needs case conversion.

Not everybody agrees about how this conversion should work. The most famous example is Turkish, but there are others. So there's an actual choice to make here.

If Windows baked this into the core OS, they might get pushback in countries where their (presumably American) defaults were culturally unacceptable.

If they made it configurable at the OS level, everything would seem fine until, say, a German tries to access a USB drive with files from a Turk on them and some files don't work correctly, or the disk just can't be mounted at all.

So, they have to bake it into each NTFS filesystem.
The socialists at Guardian complain when people get fired, but they also complain when they don’t.

And I haven’t noticed they’ve ever wondered if government jobs might be economically pointless (ie damaging). Usually it’s the opposite - they tend to recommend and call for more damage.

Computing with biology would be more like the "movable feast" computing architecture videos on YouTube. Prepare to be out-neckbearded if you watch them. Not sure how useful it would be. You don't want your bank account running on such a machine.

Part of what makes computing extremely useful is that it's a crutch that lets us do things our feeble human minds can't do. Logical purity, high numerical computation, immutable logging and provenance. At the edge we start to tolerate imprecision in some domains like hci and decision making when there's a premium attached to the process, that statistically (or if we're being cynical, projects the appearance of) yields an improvement, like being able to ingest high inhuman volumes of data, or where human interaction in the correction of erroneous processing is proximal and minimally effort inducing.
