Is that actually even true? Google already has an office in Berlin. They can just buy more buildings.

Even if some local politician decides to block a construction plan, I’m not sure how they would stop Google from just buying existing stuff nearby their old office like Amazon does.

Google in Manhattan bought a building the size of an entire block essentially. It isn’t even what I would call a campus there either.
It's a reasonably sleek Wordpress theme [1], but pretty far off from Material Design proper [2].

The animation while clicking links/buttons typically gives away if something was designed to implement Material Design or not.

Unfortunately, I suspect vigilante behaviour and thinking is becoming more popular in society as a whole, both in cyber security and outside of it. See also the attacks on social media sites/attempts to get people fired/blacklisted, the increase in protests turning violent, and hacking attempts in general.

Feels like a decent percentage of the population have lost faith in the government and rule of law.

Which to be fair, wouldn't exactly be a shocking belief where cybersecurity is concerned. The police and authorities rarely do anything effective against hackers, virus creators and other internet law breakers in general, in part because it requires a lot of resources to investigate someone/some group who might very well be on the other side of the planet and outside the victim's legal system. In that sense, I'm not surprised it's getting more popular.
I think "screwing up" has an incorrect connotation that she didn't commit fraud deliberately. People who have never been anywhere near a coal mine express anger at Don Blankenship for contributing to the deaths of dozens of people via deceiving inspectors. So it doesn't seem strange that people would continue to be angry at Holmes, when everybody depends on medical services such as blood tests that they can trust. Ordinary people almost always die in circumstances that only amount to statistics and not a newsworthy outrage, but surely it is an injustice if casualties are deemed irrelevant in a situation like this.
the paper has been in circulation for close to a 175 years and is ranked as the most trusted journalistic publication ( https://www.rjionline.org/reporthtml.html ) - do yourself a favor, get the print edition convince yourself. I've been a reader for years and highly recommend it.
That's all academic. Current nationalists base their 'nation' on skin color and religion: white and Christian (though the religious aspect is sometimes less emphasized), like ISIS'/Daesh's nationalism based on Islam. You can read people advocating it in HN, just like you can read many attempts to whitewash it.

The endlessly repeated lesson of history is that if human rights are not universal, if you accept the nationalist argument that 'people on my side have rights and those on the other don't', then it ends up justifying denying rights to any person or group, and the brutality that follows. That's why the foundation of the United States is universal human rights, 'all men are created equal and endowed ... with inalienable rights'. We've had enough slavery, segregation, Holocausts, Tutsi massacres, Milosovic's, ISIS's, oppression of women, Nazis, etc, etc. to know how it turns out; we don't need to try again and hope it's different this time.

In contrast, universal human rights as the basis of the post-WWII order has provided the greatest expansion of freedom and prosperity in human history, with no comparison. Why would anyone want to give that up? Why are we looking for ways to divide people and to justify and whitewash hate?

What is the basis of nationalism? That a human being's rights and my regard from them depend on an imaginary line on the earth? One step this way, I love them; one step the other way, I oppose them? It's absurd.

Finally, nationalism is an obsession of a small group imposed on others. The nationalists say all white Christian people are part of their nation, but a most of those people don't see it that way. Certain nationalists claim me as part of their 'nation', but I abhor and oppose them and certainly am not a member. Nationalists are a small group of people who, just like the tyrants and evil people before them, simply try to impose their will on others. I believe the others should live free.
Which is to say, no hardware support for watchpoints in gdb[1]? That seems like not such a great "feature"...

This is Theo being Theo. No one sane believes that if someone had come to OpenBSD with an implementation of this (very useful!) feature that they wouldn't have committed it. They just didn't get around to it.

[1] In which the fallback is, IIRC, to turn off access to the location at the mapping level and take a SIGSEGV on every access to the 4k region containing the address.
True. But, not implementing all intel CPU features "right away" would not be such a bad idea. As a security conscious OS environment, they're wise to not implement certain features until there is a proven need for them/or until there is mature understanding of the features. I for one choose Debian or OpenBSD for such needs. I don't need my firewall appliance(pf + OpenBSD) to be in a hurry to implement AVX512 for example.

I'd just pick one of many bleeding edge distributions for say a laptop.
So true. If one looks closely at actual (as opposed to the false caricature most people hold in their mind) "conspiracy theories", very often they are based on reasonable questions or the desire for more details & study, with a big percentage of actual idiots also participating in the discussion. And when you observe their detractors, say on here or reddit, you will usually see an unfortunate strawman or worst-possible-interpretation approach being taken to claims being discussed.

The human mind is extremely susceptible to various fallacies such as confirmation bias. Usually this is beneficial, but often it can be very harmful.

tl;dr from the article:

> If the network name of a wireless network (SSID) is not broadcast, the clients must search for it with probe requests. So if you have one AP and 100 wireless devices, you partially limit exposure of the network name with one device while causing 100 devices to expose it instead.
I interviewed once for a job with a defense contractor. Mid-way through the interview I was told that if they decided to give me the job I could expect to work 60 hours a week for the next 18 months without getting paid any overtime. I didn't come out and say so, but I'm sure the interviewer could tell that I wouldn't accept an offer if it was forthcoming.

In retrospect, I think I should have said "Thank you for spending the time to talk to me, I don't want to waste any more of our time", and left.
I wish there was a way to make the page appear as though it was drawn in Crayon. It would be appropriate.
Yes, you are right, there was a non sequitur as my mind raced ahead. The point is: neither is bar bar the only term, nor is your rather neutral translation "foreigner" very apt -- minor inconsistencies that never the less prompted me to respond.

I simply find it very unlikely that an onomatopoeia would spontaneously achieve word quality with suffixes, inflections and all that jazz. Classical Greek and Latin are preceded by a long pre history of fractured dialects and, well, disputes over territory. By the time they became somewhat standardized, a lot of meaning was ignored and conflated. I don't understand how you can find that irrelevant to the origin of a word. I do understand that you feel somewhat overrun. I didn't mean to discount the theory, just noting that it is (likely) not the full story.

By the way I found that ''to boil'' is derived from a root bher-, rather close to bhel-. Certainly boiling creates bubbles. All the while warmth is a positive term. Also, to bear'' comes from a similar root. And those d not seem to be purely PIE innovations.

Compare for example

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%AE%D8%B1 (Arab. "karra" - 1. ''to murmur, bubble, gurgle''; but also 2. ''to fall, sink, prostrate oneself'' ... "to fall at somebody's feet?") (Pers. "xar" - 1. ''donkey, fool''; 2. ''idiotic''; 3. ''big, great'')

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%AC%D8%B1 (Arab. "jarra" - ''to pull, draw, stretch, rob, cause, drive slowly, pasture freely'' and then some)

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%AD%D8%B1 (Arab. 1. "hurr" - ''free, unimpeded, set free, born free, noble, unmixed''; but also 2. "harr" - ''heat, burning'')

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%AC%DA%91 (Urdu: root, foudation, but also stupid, lifeless)

Interestingly, I found ''donkey'' and ''big, great'' are supposed to be near homophone in old Egyptian as well https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%EA%9C%A5%EA%9C%A3#Egyptian.

The way I heard the story of ''barbar'', Germanic Vandals called the folks on the African north coast Barbarians, also because of the language. Today still called Berbers. I am aware that Slavic languages follow a similar paradigm, Czechs call Germans "nemcie" - ''mutes''. At the same time, the origin of the word slave from Slavs is contested, so what do I know.

Nevertheless, you might know the words ''Habiru''. Consider that in context. Also, "hurr" above reminded me of "Hurrian", but that's barely a hunch.
I had high hopes for Discovery, but just after first episode I could see it's not going to be a wasted opportunity. As you wrote, they had a good set up for a great show, and proceeded to destroy it.

Star Trek is sometimes credited for bringing up an entire generation of scientists and engineers. Can you imagine someone 20 years from now saying something like that about Discovery, or the reboot movies, with a straight face?

> As a long-term proud trekkie (sorry)

Don't be. I'm a trekkie too :). In fact, I owe my career in computing and general interest in science and space to Star Trek (TNG in particular), which I watched as a kid/teenager.
I’ve got a flat earth family member and I thought it would be easy to go out to the beach and get a photo of a ship appearing over the horizon to disprove them.

But it just won’t seem to work out. They seem to get smaller and smaller and too small to see if the botttom is disappearing first. I’m going to have to try it with a telescope. It’s kind making me question my own beliefs.

Also they made me watch some of those YouTube videos about the eclipse going in the wrong direction. I still haven’t been able to explain that. :-(

I guess my point is don’t expect an easy debate if you engage them. Some of this stuff just isn’t as easy as you’d expect.
So your opinion is the acting and narrative are bad. What sci-fi shows do you consider are examples of great narrative and acting? Give me 3 sci-fi TV series as examples please.

Beyond that how about non-sci-fi TV series? I'd like to know what you think are shining examples of television. Maybe 3 to 5 examples of non-sci-fi.

I know this sounds aggressive, but really, without knowing what kind of TV shows you think are "good", your opinion that The Expanse being bad, is without context. Maybe we like the same shows in general, but this one show is the exception. Who knows.

Also, maybe you watched the first 4 episodes and dismissed it as junk. That would make some sense to me, as the first few episodes were a bit rough. Or maybe you watched the entire thing, season 1 and 2, and it just wasn't for you.
It's worth saying that Orwell was himself a communist who fought in the Spanish Civil war, he was just against stalinist communism (which he didn't see as real communism, and neither would Lenin).
If you ever want to explain what its like to fix bugs in a new language, just point them to this article; you basically guess how things work until you are proven otherwise, no matter how incredible and without proof the explanation my be.
They nailed the look tbh. Sarcasm at its finest.

Zero-overhead deterministic exceptions: Throwing values [pdf]
I'm not the GP. But if I were setting up infrastructure for a fledgling startup today, I'd want a PaaS-in-a-box that worked like this:

Given these inputs:

* A minimum of 3 Linux servers: These could be VMs or bare-metal servers. They're all in the same data center. They each have 1 public IP address. Other than that, there's no network between them. Each of these nodes has at least 4 GB of RAM and a healthy amount of SSD storage. Note that I'm perfectly comfortable manually provisioning a fixed number of nodes, and manually adding more if truly necessary, because predictable cost is important.

Edit: The platform should assume that each node has a bare installation of Ubuntu or CentOS. Don't make me install something custom. And ideally, don't be picky about the kernel, because some dedicated server hosts provide their own.

Edit 2: All nodes should be treated equally. Any of them may become the master when needed. There should be no dedicated master; all nodes should be available to run applications. After all, resources are tight, and I want to get the most out of those three servers.

* An API for creating and updating DNS records, e.g. Amazon Route 53, DNSimple, etc.

* Edit: An off-site object store (e.g. Amazon S3, Backblaze B2) where the cluster can automatically send backups of all durable storage.

The PaaS-in-a-box should give me an installation script to run on each node. During installation, I provide my DNS API credentials and the domain(s) I want the platform to manage. Edit: I'd also provide credentials for the off-site backup object storage. And I forgot that when installing on the second and subsequent nodes, I'd provide the public IP of an existing node during installation.

And that's it. The cluster then manages itself, distributing durable storage among the nodes using something like Ceph for file storage, and DB-level replication for the supported database(s). HTTP/HTTPS traffic can be load-balanced among nodes using round-robin DNS, with unhealthy nodes automatically removed from the DNS records by one of the remaining nodes. If I need to run an outward-facing non-HTTP service, I should be able to reserve one or more ports for it and run it in either a round-robin or active/standby configuration with automatic failover.

Perhaps this is a tall order. Is it impossible to do this on top of something as last-decade as a handful of manually provisioned dedicated servers, with only the public network between them (but in the same data center)? I hope not, because that kind of server, while now out of fashion, is attractive to a company on a shoestring budget that nevertheless doesn't want to compromise performance.

Anyway, if a product meeting these requirements exists, I don't yet know about it. Cloud Foundry certainly doesn't market itself for that kind of deployment.
Unless they have some sort of capital ownership in the project they are doing they are just conned.

Show HN: The Flux Challenge in 139 Lines of JS
There was a huge fan effort to get Dark Matter renewed, and then casting around to find a new home for the show which looks like it's now properly dead. It looks like it had more viewers than The Expanse, though I'm not sure if the figures I've seen are directly comparable.
I think there were hints of that already in S2, but I don't recall it was mentioned explicitly so far. You could piece that out from the show if you knew what to look for. The books have been more explicit about it earlier in the storyline.
I don't understand this new mentality that "Gentrification is a problem," companies and wealthier people moving in makes everyone in the area more wealthy. The problem of affordable housing has less to do with those companies moving in and more to do with local real estate monopolies that lobby against rezoning for residential and expanding building permits. That's basically the bay area in a nutshell. People complain about the lack of affordable housing, yet building new residential areas is a tapestry of red tape. And let's face it, that's largely to protect real estate investors that don't want prices to come down.

I would like to see bigger companies that move new offices to areas to use their weight to push for more housing developments and permits as part of their local agreements. I think that would go a long way (though still short) in helping the situation.
I get where you're coming from but to say that computers and phones aren't used to improve people's lives is ridiculous.

GPS in my pocket. Internet connected calorie counting app. Streaming whatever show I want on demand instead of watching the one show that's on. Paying $120 dollars a year to listen to whatever music I want to. A calendar that's on all my devices that my wife can add things on. A speaker that can stream my music straight from the internet by itself.

Those are just the things I can think off of the top of my head.
Pretty immature website, I get why people are against Google and specifically this campus but this website rubs me the wrong way. If they made the same arguments, cleaned up the language and delivery and cited it with studies, papers and facts it would be a much more credible site. They should probably change the domain name as well.
Exceptions aren't what's keeping people from using the still in embedded context's, it's the dynamic memory management.

Chickenpox is not a horrible disease that ought to be vaccinated against. Pro-vaxxers don't realize that they're missing the big picture too: we can't vaccinate against everything, and it's just as important to address all the conditions that result in children developing an especially bad case of chicken pox.

Medicine is a fickle field. The tragedy is that modern medical practitioners think they now know what they're doing. Otto Warburg was probably always right about cancer [0], but conventional doctors are still working with the 'kill all the cancer cells' theories of cancer treatment.

> I've been working with professionals a lot, and I know they are just repeating what they are told. Every profession is like that. Experts even more so, since otherwise they lose credibility and are not experts anymore.

There's a human tendency to trust "received wisdom". I think Thomas Kuhn's book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, is about the phenomenon...

Professionals who build things that are expected to just work (bridge engineers) are a little different than professionals who try real hard to help their patients (certain medical specialties).
There are tons of books written about Google's culture, but my favorite is ”How Google Works” by Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg.

With regard to resources, Google has by far has the most sophisticated access to future tech (quantum, ML for example), the most infrastructure (GGC, oceanic fiber, DC/pops), and their incredible scale comes with great advantages.
:(.

God damn it corporations, you aren't making any money off those old shows anyway. Just give them up to public domain, let the fans do the work for free, and find a way to reap the benefits of revived popularity of the franchise.

(Alas, the current owners of Star Trek rights seem to be actively hostile towards fan productions.)

I'm looking for username "hackedperson" for this post:
"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14427597"

I think she's Korean? (KaKaoTalk). If you're still here, please let me know. As long as she's the victim, not the bully.

As for the record, I'm not an investigator or authority, I just want to help, or we may be able to help each other. Is he a lawyer? Erm.

a) If H blackmailed L, does she have evidence of it? This part is particularly problematic - "H claims to have a lot of sensitive information and webcam recordings". If L has recorded or copied that claim, why hasn't she reported it to the police? I believe there can be no better evidence than that.

b) How does L know that H knows her personal conversation, is there any other way than eavesdropping to know her conversation?

c) What school, is that a law school, or just a university which still has law major?

d) What subtle hints and how can you be sure it was about L?

e) Does L know H personally? Seriously, why hasn't she reported it to the police yet??!!!

f) It doesn't matter whether or not H has rich parents or a law student (and this part raises serious concern, since this H person seems to lack basic moral for being a lawyer).

g) If H is a webmaster of a certain website, it's definitely possible for him to hack into L's computer without hiring any people for that. Hacking is not that hard. "Social engineering" is another way of hacking, and in your case, it can be done by sending "pictures, emails" and L can simply click them and make her computer infected. And the real problem here is, this H person, who is a webmaster of a website, is doing things like this, and I bet he's doing things like this more; provided that this story is not made up or just happening in L's head. In this digital age, you never know what scary things mentally derailed people can do without leaving their room. L has every evidence she needs! She owes it to the society. Report it to the police, there's no reason for hesitation.

h) It's totally possible to know what you type on your computer, they can even monitor your monitor.

Tell me, for more details or chat.

And why I asked you c) question, because I think I can definitely help you.
It's certainly been in there for as long as I've been using Windows 10; not sure about before that. It was super-frustrating because it affected both keyDown and keyUp, and it was also completely inconsistent.

I can, however, if I squint, just about see the argument for why it's taken so long to fix: I suspect it probably wasn't seen as that valuable for the kind of apps and sites that Microsoft think people mostly use the web for. Thing is, get off the beaten path slightly, and you find people using the web for all kinds of interesting and creative things: demos, games, music players and editors, emulators, synthesizers and instruments, image and video manipulation.

And there is a school of thought (to which I don't belong) that says all apps should run in the browser. But if that's ever going to happen, massive and inconsistent input latency of any kind is not something that can be tolerated. Even if we don't go that far, and I suspect we won't, there are still a wide range of web apps for which unpredictable input latency is not acceptable.

So I suppose what I'm saying in a very long winded-way, is that I agree it shouldn't have been there for so long, although I don't think I'd call it unprofessional.
