Hm, interesting. Long time ago, I intentionally tried cracking games to detect anti-piracy methods, and Donkey Kong Countrty 2 was one of those, and I triggered the empty SRAM check while doing so (and added that to the TCRF page). I checked the game with more SRAM than the cartridge normally has, and... nothing??? Checking that is a very typical routine in SNES games, and yet... I simply assumed due to that it's the only check, and an incompetent one at that -- first, it would be more evil to let the game continue with no save RAM only for saves to not work, second, why not check for more RAM.

But then it turns out there are actually were more anti-piracy methods, and they are quite evil. Wow. I'm not surprised I did not find those considering how those worked however, I had no reason to change the ROM to add a crack intro.

I don't actually disagree, I just found the statement above somewhat hilarious, given the major changes in Android P.
Machine A extends the "hellooo" out to exactly 1.32 seconds, with a 1.32 second pause between that and the next word.

Machine B responds with a greeting exactly 1.32 seconds long, with a 1.32 second pause after it.

Machine A responds with a sentence in which the first word is exactly 1.32 seconds long.

Machine B considers the handshake a success and proceeds in machine language.

Every call center in the world is now looking to sell their recordings.
Simple common example:

I frequently share content to my spouse.

One day, I share content to my parent.

Next day, the order of users in the sharebox has changed, so my parent is in the spot my spouse used to be, so my muscle memory sends my parent a message meant for my spouse.
On Windows, I use eshell a lot, because I use Emacs anyway, and it provides a more familiar shell experience while also working smoothly with Windows instead of seeing the whole system through a Unix-lens as Cygwin does (i.e. Windows paths work, you can say //myhost/myshare/myfolder/myfile.txt to directly open a file on a network share, etc.)

On Un*x systems, I use it a fair bit, too, because its integration with emacs is more comfortable than running a regular shell from within emacs. Being able to call elisp functions from within the shell is something I do not do often, but it is very convenient have anyway.

Also since Android 7 they started locking down what was possible to access with the NDK, any attempt to link against anything not listed as official NDK API will terminate the application.

With Android P they are doing the same to Java apps that make use of reflection to access non-public APIs or work around bugs due to lack of updates.
There is a good deal of validity towards calling Wine an emulator in this vein. It is reimplementing an executable format loader, calling conventions, and the entire runtime and libraries of a foreign operating system -- in other words, emulating the Windows operating system.

However, emulating has also often been used to describe software that implements the opcodes of a foreign instruction set in software. For example, a program that implements 6502 opcodes and related modules that allows you to play NES games on a PC. Wine isn't an emulator of this type. Wine relies on the fact that x86 Windows programs can be made to run on x86 Linux by means of implementing everything I stated in the first paragraph. It does not allow for running x86 Windows programs on a SPARC machine (QEMU can assist in doing this, but that's a digression...). Wine is not an ISA emulation, but it is an ABI emulation.

It's simpler than that. All primes greater than 2 are equal to 2n + 1 for some n. And since each side of a spiral is 2 longer than the adjacent one, you get a slanted line. You'd have just a blob of bunches of line, except that they thin out. (Primes > 6 are 2 * 3 * n +/- 1, then 2 * 3 * 5 * n +/- [1, 7, 11, 13].

Also, prime series are palindromic. Integers relatively prime to (2, 3, ... p[m]) form a repeating series with period 2 * 3 * ... * p[m], and within each series they are the integers not "knocked out" by the given primes; e.g., 2 * 3 * ... * p[m] +/- [p[m+1], p[m+2], ...]. So the pattern is symmetrical over the period.

Fake news is what got us dictatorships like Nazi Germany. Spreading lies about socialists and jews was how they gained votes.

In fact the nazis did just like the fox and the trump crowd today and labeled all mainstream news fake.

I don’t think you can dismiss the danger of such news environment. It plunged Germany into dictatorship. A too liberal democracy is vulnurable to totalitarians. We saw this in Egypt when anti-democratic muslim brotherhood gained power through elections.

> If the market price of gold increases, the production of it will increase (though to a lesser degree of other commodities).

Yet the total amount of gold on this planet is finite, and as the millennia have passed, it has become increasingly expensive to dig it out of the ground. These are the same properties that people laud in bitcoin.

As far as I am informed, bitcoin mining farms also tend to be connected to the power grid. May be just to keep the soft drink vending machine running. Dunno.

Limited supply is by no means unique to bitcoin. Gold and real estate share the same properties.

Uber's estimates of commercial VTOL flight on an untested airframe by 2023 is total garbage, and they have to know it. The US military has sunk $50 Billion dollars into this problem over the last 30 years and still aren't there.

Still, saying you're not the customer but the product is wrong. If you watch TV, you're also not the product. I'd probably classify TV audience as customers of the stations, even if the money is made with advertisement. But viewers are certainly not products.

Wrong, but funny that you're trying to discuss my reasons, and not my arguments.

No. Nefarious motivations, such as a desire to exert power by controlling discourse, can be judged by actions, and they should be considered in terms of the kind of future they can bring about. It's well and good to judge someone's credibility with regards to talking about human rights, by observing what they would do with human rights.

Your argument is essentially "this is wrong, because I think it is wrong".

No. Squashing free speech in effect is dangerous, because it's through speech and discourse that a society such as the present one can avoid bloodshed. It is wrong because it is dangerous. It is wrong because it is against a human right, which under-girds all other human rights. Those who are motivated by power, for which rights can be sacrificed, have a very bad historical record.

Oh, no question there is abuse going on here - this thought experiment is really reaching and extending beyond a certain horizon, which may or may not be idiotic. ;)

Perhaps you're familiar with the wonderful and super-crazy TempleOS? There are some great things about the way the UI is expressed there ..

>Some things are simply more easily done outside of the standard glyphs we use for words. I don't expect this will ever change. And I shudder at all of the complexity added to our glyph systems to support efforts at making "one true language" that can do everything.

Certainly a valid concern, and I acknowledge your conservatism, but I think you might want to look at the cyclomatic complexity of the work required to splash a modern GUI up on the screen, and compare it with the cyclomatic complexity required to render a human-readable string of glyphs. There is a lot of opportunity to optimise these processes - and I would wager that having a font full of glyphs required to construct a UI paradigm, having those primitive elements processed by the OS in a simple way, and giving those elements to the end-user (who admittedly would need to learn something new for it to be productive), may indeed produced a "simpler" interaction method for future users. Yes, there is a certain fallacy to the "one true language" approach - but if you pay careful attention, you'll notice that the OS's of most common use in the last 10 years are on that road, anyway.

Break this out of the box a little, lets move from glyph/grapheme/font territory - what if the entire OS was instead expressed with SVG files? I think this is a viable thought experiment, personally.

Show HN: MarketStore – Timeseries database in Go for financial market data
I suspect modern terminals just evolved underneath you and you didn't notice since you were looking for a revolution. Most of what you want, you can have. I actually like eshell because I can "cat someImage.png" and it will literally inline the image for me on the terminal.[1] I don't think this is limited to eshell, either. I just don't know how to do it in other terminals.

To be clear, I think it is enticing to imagine a perfect solution. I just don't think it is fair to ignore all of the work that has happened. Nor do I think it is realistic that something will be able to get past the ridiculous cost of entry at this point. There is a reason eshell isn't a complete shell replacement.

To be direct to your points of things we need, though. I think you'd be surprised at just how well eshell does all of them. The only real limit to how well it works is that piping a lot of commands together is limited due to everything going through a buffer. For those cases, "shell" and then doing whatever I was wanting to do, works like a champ. And if I am really wanting to do some fancy stuff, an org buffer is better anyway.

My opinion, exaggerated a little, take it with a grain of salt:

The opportunities (scale, compute power, funding, how close you are to the edge of the state of the art) for research in industry are currently uniformly better than the opportunities for research in academia, and industry pays an order of magnitude or so more too.

If you followed ten "famous" CS profs five years ago, I'd guess that at least eight of them quit academia (despite having tenure) and now work at Google or Facebook.

So I think it's clear, at least to me, that if you want to do research it would be better to do it at a Major One. But I understand that it's hard to pull that off early in your career. Still, I would keep trying before taking the second-best option of academia.
You can add the education market into that as well, for similar reasons.

Local storage is available on later instances of ChromeOS I gather.
This is a great point. The current Google Now and Google Assistant voice controls don't really work half the time, let alone 95% of the time.

I really hope all this speech AI really comes good, I really do. But at the moment it still is flaky for me.

I really want to use Google Assistant to take instructions and reminders for me. I can't wait until it can smoothly send messages and emails and add calendar entries.

Good luck Google.
I still think there's a need for standardized APIs in this situation. At some point, the context constraints mentioned in the blog post have to get translated into some action with parameters. I'm guessing that action will be API calls to other Google products behind the Duplex Google Assistant UX.

"Ok Google, can you reschedule my Dr. Appointment this Friday for next week? I have a conflict." -> calls the Dr and reschedules -> adapts result to rebooking action with partners (ie, an api call to your Google calendar) -> applies action and responds to you.

There is still quite a bit missing from this to be a useful AI product. It's getting really close though. I can't wait until this makes it into Google Assistant and it can call a restaurant to ask about gluten free options while I'm driving.
You didn't really answer the problem? The person above was complaining that "17 apps to take a better selfie" is under the "Android" topic. Your only other choice is to block the entire publisher, which may be good if all that publisher posts is similar bad articles, but it's hard for you to know.

A far better way would be to get upvote/downvote per article, and then have the AI figure what your interests are, rather than base it purely on clicks, which tends to favor clickbait.
