Ask HN: Are humans tools for creating the internet of all things?
This is a statement from the book "Homo Deus" by Yuval Noah Harari (pg 444).
How about a fanless Intel NUC, boom done.
I'm sure if you report tax evasion to the IRS, they will investigate.
When someone is being realistic by pointing out that they can make more money elsewhere, they say they are just "being greedy."

You're assuming the big paying tech firms will hire any programmer who applies to any startup. They won't.
> The impact on earth to cause ejecta to have escape velocity would probably need to be larger than on mars.

significantly larger, because it has to get through our atmosphere once on the way in, and then the ejecta has to do it again on the way out, keeping in mind that drag is proportional to velocity squared, and that whatever ejecta is making this trip has to find a way not to get cooked into sterility by impact energy or friction with the air....

Too many extra factors are in play, each of which adds an exponent to the unlikelihood. But that's just my uneducated opinion, I'm certainly open to discussion.

If you want something slightly more modifiable, Compulab makes passively-cooled screwdriver-openable boxes at basically all levels that it makes sense.

Their highest end is available with ECC ram and a discrete graphics card: https://fit-iot.com/web/product/airtop2-build-to-order/

And the lowest end fitlet2 can be configured with an atom in a reasonable configuration for around $300 (it's $130-$200 for case/cpu/motherboard depending on which CPU you configure).
Yes but you should be testing browser capabilities not user agents.
It’s easy to say you’re overinvested in design, but many massively successful companies are separated from their also-ran competitors by seemingly minor design decisions, like 140 character limits or disappearing messages. In this context, design seems worth the money.
Debugging Modern Web Applications
No I am explaining a phenomenon and that was the evidence I provided. Be my guest and downvote to your hearts content I could not care less.
FWIW, most industrial PCs I've seen do not use ECC. In many case they use CPUs that do not support it anyways.
Other than standard ATX/SFX PSU, in the small form factor (sff) scene I've seen using DC/DC PSU like the HD-Plex or PicoPSU and a beefed up external power brick.

The most bizarre thing I've seen, when the power requirement for a single brick wasn't enough, they used two power bricks, for example the Zotac Zbox EN1080 mini PC.
Switching back to Java after having spent a long time in JavaScript land with modern standards made me realize how great JavaScript had become.

The biggest reason for JavaScripts greatness to me is JSON. I couldn't understand how Java developers put up with such bulky ways to deal with data. After some time in Java land I've come back to appreciating its strengths again though. Code completion is nice. I'm kind of hoping for more typescript in the future.
profitable for cities to have jobs inside their borders but a money loser to have housing

This is unrelated to Prop 13 and predates it by over a decade. Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, etc. all focused on industry and jobs while San Jose focused on annexing every parcel they could. Under Dutch Hamman alone, San Jose grew fivefold.
Tom Wolfe – GQ
TLDR: News media has tried desperately for many years to innovate. The internet killed what was left.
Finally – thinking about “news” is outdated. News are previous era artisanal bread bakers, vs modern factories which A/B test and mass produce sliced bread (engagement).

Underlying it all is the mistake in assuming that truth matters, in an advertising revenue based system.
Longer -
If you pay for specialist news sources, even today, you will immediately see a massive difference in detail and quality of information.
For at least 70+ years, if not centuries, the News world has tried to stop the effect of advertising on media.
Media targets human brains, and human brains care for rewards more than “truth”.
If a newspaper sells salacious gossip for cheap, they obtain a huge readership. This in turn provides them with advertising power and thus revenue. This also translates into political power. Take a look at Murdoch’s empire other than Fox news.
All of this generally came under the name “the faster news cycle”. Once we as a species switched to 24/7 news, human attention spans came under increased pressure.
This forced news channels to move towards even more sensational (engaging!) news in order to keep their place.

And then came the internet. The internet destroys the paid classifieds section, the only thing allowing many smaller news papers to stay afloat.
The internet and coders also create tools to perfectly answer other questions “which format ensures maximum engagement, and time on site”. Which font, which design. Which words?
An unwholesome amount of human experimentation is done, from game design to UX/UI design to best create addictive sites.
This further saturates the average human attention span, and at this point overwhelms it.
In todays day and age, News websites are…. Not about traditional news. Everything is about “hacking” the human brain to make it do something.
This is all “content”, which has to be “engaging” or “viral” or “addictive”. We are dealing with the industrialization of thought, and the actual product is just “content”.

So to ask for Innovation, is to ask a dead man to act. You could have them innovate all you like, but the moment they land up on some sub reddit it just gets converted into echo chamber fodder.
Not yet, had my domain for a good few years now as well. Been through multiple renewals, it's never been picked up on.
India and Pakistan have a pretty violent history.
I do disagree with the parent's wording that it isn't "debatable". At the same time, I think the point trying to be made is that the article disregards the debates made for it. This seems to show itself in the fact that the article talks mainly of how browsers do not use Via. The problem being that the debate around the RFC was for an entirely different use case. As per the RFC spec, a lot of it was around protocol capabilities.

Thus it may not be useful to the browser. But the article saying that its usage is debatable in this context is very wrong.
Having had one of those - appropriate sure, but accurate? No. They're super exaggerated.
Your industrial design example was an anecdote. There are people who work for me who aren't passionate about the specific area we work in, they just like writing software. You seem to think passion is literally a job requirement, but I've never seen that. Employers like to see interest and keenness but they do hire people who don't have it, of course.
I've done the blind test between Coke and Pepsi with a third unnamed diet soda thrown in as a red herring. I can identify each just by the smell. It's not even close.

I literally can't comprehend how blind people must be to tastes that they can't tell the difference.

I also can't comprehend how people can eat anything with vinegar in it or drink IPAs, so maybe I'm just sensitive.

Another anecdote...I know no French, but I had a French wine at a restaurant and commented it reminded me of the smell of the beach in the morning near where I grew up. A more thoroughly educated companion told me that the word Cotes (with some accent I don't know how to type) means "coast" in French, and that was in the name of the wine.

I'm the first one to call BS on elitist snobs but the people who really know wine aren't BSing.

I've found cheap wines to have a higher likelihood of tasting like vinegar Easter egg dye. After about $14 that quality is rare.

That's not to say wine at $60 a bottle is "better." My personal favorite is $18 at Costco. But being able to tell the difference is not BS.
> >I could answer with "thank you for making it"

> You are carefully crafting a response to the question to make everyone believe that you liked the food without directly stating that.

NO -- see that's the problem. You're making a huge assumption that is incorrect.

"thank you for making it" does not mean "I liked it". And no, it won't make everyone believe that I liked the food (especially since that would not have been my intention in the first place). People aren't stupid. Most folks I know would realize in that situation that I wasn't directly answering the question. "thank you for making it" would not have been dishonest, and it would not mean "I liked the food".

> "Let's say she doesn't accept your dancing around the question? Are you going to keep crafting answers that are technically correct in attempt to make everyone think you liked the food?"

Firstly, you are wrong in your assessment that I would be attempting to make everyone think I liked the food -- in that situation that would not be my intention at all.

Secondly, if I was pressed I might try to move on with the conversation in a different way (without answering) -- which, again would not be dishonest. Not wanting to answer a question is not the same thing as dishonesty. I am not required to tell everyone what I think about everything in order to be honest.

If she kept pressing the question, I might try to answer the question nicely, like "It wasn't my favorite", or "I didn't care for it". Both of those answers would be honest. Being kind is not dishonesty, either. Even if it was one of the worst meals I'd ever eaten, both of those statements would be truthful.

"the effect is completely the same as if you'd just said it was great." -- No, I totally disagree with that. "It was great" would be a lie, "thank you for making it" expresses genuine gratitide for the effort made toward the meal.

You make it sound as though it is impossible to be tactful and truthful/honest at the same time. I disagree.

Your comment made me think of Robert Noyce.
>insist that one be their a current manager

That's inviting imposters. Most regular people applying for a job wouldn't provide their current boss as a reference, but the people who would provide fake references? No problem! You can talk to my current boss, or even my boss in 5 years time, whatever you want!
I think that it depends. Computer security basic and concepts maybe old but are still valid such as security models, security (engineering) principles and other security related concepts (e. g. reference monitor).

Understanding attacks can be helpful to understand vulnerabilities and wrongly implemented security principles.
If a company or other entity is owned by a single person and just owns a single piece of property, this does not work and California will not let the prop 13 tax rate stay with the company. You are obviously trying to cheat to get around the law. As there are more owners of the company and the company has more diverse holdings, California is less likely to insist on resetting the assessed value of the real estate owned by the company upon sale. One REIT buying another REIT is fine. Like many laws, one does not really know what they mean on the edges until you do something and are taken to court.
Speaking of HTTP headers. One I wish more people would use is Accept-Language instead of region/geoip based localization. Practically every site I've come across ignores this header in favour of geoip with the weird and notable exception of Microsoft exchange webmail and Grafana.
"Any sort of animation"? =(

That would make most good UIs unusable. UI animation and audio aren't remotely the same category of interruption.

I like playing chess and working out. So I combined chess and workouts. There are several variations,

* Do X crunches every 2 or 3 moves.

* Do X pushups/pullups/situps/skipping/etc every 2 or 3 moves.

The part you're ignoring about prop 13 is how much it incentivizes nimbyism. If rising property values were accompanied by resultant higher property taxes, homeowners would be incentivized to work with renters to get new housing built rather than working against those that need a healthy housing market. But as it stands, prop 13 means the more they can block new construction, the higher the value of their homes.
Indeed. My LinkedIn account has a few contacts, but they're each a combination of two rare events:

- somebody from an old company added me as a contact, and

- I happen to have checked LinkedIn that year

That adds up to maybe six random people over 15 year.

My GitHub account is similar looking. A few public client libraries for my sass businesses, some private repos from old consulting gigs, and a handy way to log in to a few other awkward developer services.

You wouldn't hire me after looking at either.
Reverse correlation with wealth and proportional correlation with religion, I should've probably been more clear about that
Yes but this one is addressing legibility and scalability.
The Lazy Man's Guide to Losing Fat and Building Muscle
I get your point but it's such a niche use case that I can't see it coming up in real world situations. I mean, "never say never", but it's a solution that creates as many problems as it solves.

I used to build online games that fed off real world events. Eg football managers based on real football matches, games based on horse racing, F1, tour de France, and many others. We needed to change feeds when the match started and ended, but sometimes events are delayed or run into extra time. So we needed a way to change that quickly. We also needed to present different screens at the start and end of the event to the live scoring during the event. This all meant it was easier handling times based cut offs in JavaScript with the live scoring JSON files (which were being fed from S3) using cache control header because it was easier to set an X seconds into he future time out for that than rewriting the S3 tags every few seconds with a new expires header.

On paper our use case should be precisely what you described but even we found expires to be unnecessary.
Yes this worries me. Especially with the market share. Surely a large web gatekeeper like Chrome would be in violation of anti trust regulation?

The number of slaves steadily decreased as the Rome stopped expanding. Additionally, by the time Rome turned into an empire, freeing of slaves became a show of magnanimousity and so frequent, Augustus (= around 0AD) had to put extra laws limiting it. Thus, the Roman empire had a shortage of slaves and couldn't just "count on the slaves" for everything.
Discrepancies between published ratios and their reported CIs and P-vals
>The one test that we gave that most people copied was converting decimal to roman number.

I've read some really stupid programming questions, but that has got to be one of the top 5 stupidest.

Also, I think you mean to say "integer," as Romans didn't have the concept of "decimal."

Not quite the same thing but... I'm in the middle of building a totally silent Retro DOS machine. Using an old low-spec passively cooled VIA Mini-ITX motherboard in a small case[1] with a passively cooled internal PSU. The storage is an SD card on the main IDE channel. The motherboard also has hardware Soundblaster/ADLIB support, so all the DOS games sound really great! [2]

I've just written a front end launcher for the apps/games, and I found some working USB drivers for DOS that makes transferring software over nice and easy.

I'll probably post a Show HN when I'm done.

Completely agreed. When GPUs do this, I just declare them defective and send them back. It comes down to a lack of quality of the electrical components and simply shouldn't be a problem, especially with the current GPU prices.

EFNet. Those were the days. I was pHaze on #phreak and #2600.
I too like JSON, however it is somewhat inefficient for arrays, where you end up repeating keys a lot. If you're gzipping, it probably doesn't matter as much...
Most of driving difficulty boils down to proper handling of all the edge cases, including hundreds of opportunities for human error.

An error in voice recognition means you get shipped dowels instead of trowels. An error in automated driving can mean a dead family.
I'd say good is moral by definition :).

As for morality, I don't see how it can be objective. It's not a feature of the universe, it's a feature of a mind. Humans have common values, because we naturally have common brain design.
Off topic, but what's an "AE"?
I really think the answer to this question at the moment depends upon the person asking. All I read in recital 48 is that PII might be shared within a group of companies that fall under the same holding.

IANAL, but I spent the past 2 years as CTO of an EU-based analytics company becoming compliant with GDPR, and consider myself quite informed on the topic. I would tread more carefully than what you are suggesting.
Very interesting idea. But I am not sure the Roman's could have skipped 1,000 of slow technological progress.

I would say we might have reached mobile phones a little earlier if the Mongels had not laid waste to a lot of the world's population, specifically the very scientifically advanced Islamic world. But even then, how much could we have skipped?

The Roman's would probably never have had any desire to explore the sea leading to the invention of the naval chronometer, and all the important advances that brought about (edit: towards the end they could barely manage the land empire they had, and they were not seafarers)
Oh the other hand, mainstream politics everywhere seems to edge towards social conservatism and mixed economic stances.

Some countries are more "pure" on one side or other.
Everything on the Web is a couple of decades behind native development.

Given the failures of Web based OSes, where even ChromeOS had to reach for Android native apps, it shows we will never get there.
You’ll soon be able to use augmented reality to try on sneakers
Nope. If web standards worked, the benefits would be a stable platform where you can easily create new software that both produced or consumed content without breaking anything.

Of course that isn't what is happening at all. Instead we're having the usual heap of politics and ever-faster update cycles. So I'd agree to say that web standards failed - but not that they were meant as a guidiance in the first place.
PhDs are over-valued/hyped for ML, especially as it is currently the practice of brute forcing undergraduate maths via CS fundamentals.

ML is a creative field of algorithm composition, and the hardest part is the actual programming. These are not the typical skills of a PhD student.

The current pace, and variegate provenance, of ML research suggests that a PhD student is going to be, at best, a scholar of the web wasting too much time on academics.

At least one of two things will happen in ML: there will be a singular advance in theory that opens up a world of practical applications (like QM), xnor the field of ML will be open to endless synthesis (like programming and music).

All that said, no doubt a PhD will pay for itself...
Not really, Typescript is mostly a superset of ES2015 and is compatible syntax wise.

It has almost no new "features" (apart from enums and namespaces, I think) and only contains a typing + visibility system and related syntax on top.

The only part that is not ES2015 in the given code example is the ' as ConsignmentSetup' cast.
> No driver incompatibility to blame.

Actually, at least on the 8 bit machines we had ROM firmware to blame.

I remember some ZX Spectrum issues depended on the actual model one had, which were un-officially documented on the ROM Disassembly books.
Who gives somebody who would only state their dates of employment as a reference? We must be talking about different things here.
Chess variant played on half the board
"In America it is incredibly easy to fire someone--stop being so paranoid."

^ uh, that is very often not the case. Well I guess it is if you are willing to live with any legal consequences that are the fallout of firing someone.

I have a close relative that did a lot of hiring and a decent amount of firing (for legitimate reasons -- they were the type to give people a lot of chances, and genuinely wanted to help people better their situation). Their caution in the firing process was driven by years of experience (both theirs and other manager's experience) where some fired employees that were clearly in the wrong would try to pursue legal action against the employer (even though they had no case whatsoever). Attorney's fees aren't cheap, even if you are in the right.

So it often is not true that "In America it is incredibly easy to fire someone".
The Swiss voted to keep it but a huge minority voted to scrap it - a much larger chunk of the vote than the Swiss establishment had expected. I think they only won the vote in the end by promising some reforms.

The UK funds the BBC in a similar way. I used to think it led to better results, but frankly I don't see much difference in quality of output between BBC, ITN and Sky News - they all suck in exactly the same ways. It's not surprising given that journalists all a pretty homogenous lot. If the BBC license fee came up for vote I'd be tempted to scrap it.

BBC News Online in particular feels like it's degraded significantly over time. It used to be hard news, all the time. Now half the stories are lightweight human interest stories, and it's absolutely flooded with feminist / identity politics virtue signalling crap. I feel like the last 10 times I went there, probably 8 of them had multiple "why women are wonderful" / "about an inspiring woman" stories on the front page. Maybe they're being driven by click volumes or something, I don't know, but if they are they may as well just be a fully commercial entity.
I agree that the writer shouldn't have used TypeScript to demonstrate JavaScript; but to be fair, the only thing you have to do to turn it into JS is remove the `as ConsignmentSetup` on the 4th line.
Did you just pose a strawman that a rationalist debater would ignore irrationality?

Or that only use of rational arguments is rational, as opposed to rhetoric?

As we stand, accrual debating is likely to entrench views of people rather than change them, even if irrationally.

Experiment and results are more convincing than any amount of words.
And don't forget the fence-sitters who might not be participating, but might very well end up changing their views.
Do you think somebody on the right would describe their position as "Yeah, we like to restrict resources to the deserving and kick around everybody else!" When you start with strawmen as a fundamental basis, then of course you're not going to be able to have any sort of debate. And this is perhaps an ironic example of why debate in contemporary times is quite futile. As we segregate ourselves off into ideologically aligned groups, we begin to fall further from reality both in terms of our own views but even more so in terms of understanding views of those whom we don't agree with.
