No, because any individual system is still susceptible to theft, fire, water damage, electrical damage. RAID 1 is just a protection from one hard drive dying.
I had looked at the NUCs a few months ago, and just remembered how hard it is in their product page to find something that will support 3 monitors. Looks like only the highest end models will do. I'd be tempted to build my own again, especially for my home office where I can put it in a closet next to my desk. The NUC product page lets you select requirements and then seems to give you a list of products that don't match.

Gigabyte also has their BRIX products, which are similar to the NUC.

I was at a hotel this weekend and at check-in they had a monitor with a "ThinkVantage slotted in the back of the monitor, that might be a nice setup.
In less densely populated areas there are less flats / houses to choose from so you have to expand your search in proportion anyway.

Define me the following then about the metadata:

Who does your cell phone's location belong to?

Who does the tower's connection data belong to?

Who does the multitude of tower signal strengths belong to?

Who does the user's cell phone data belong to if allowing multiple apps to use it?

Answer: User's location data belongs: to the user, 3rd party apps they have allowed, and terrestrial cell companies that run towers with the appropriate frequencies for your phone.

The technology isn't the right area to change it. In the end, you're doing stupid stuff with encryption and still emitting point-source radiation that can and will be triangulated.
Awesome work, thanks !
It’s not in the interest of insurance companies to lower premiums. They only do it if competition is eating them alive. Geico has been raising their margins ever so slightly. I bet they are also the purchasers of ungodly amounts of data for targeting marketing.

Insurance companies #1 goal is to make maximum profits for their shareholders without getting caught with their pants down.
ASH HN: Why Hasn't the Dentist Industry Been Disrupted Yet?

> Any input on historic differences, IYO, that lead to these different characterisations?

Not OP, but I wouldn't be so sure the differences aren't a result of characterizations both originating in the west.. Our dominant philosophical lens (enlightenment rationalism) tends to downplay any religious belief within science as something 'cultural', etc - therefore Kepler, etc, were not 'christian' in anything other than a historical footnote.. since these 'islamic scientists' were outside of the western scientific lineage, they were labelled accordingly - and we can't label 'our own' lineage as 'christian' since it would be to some extent anti-enlightenment to do so (after all it was the church which 'held back' science in the enlightenment view)...
Do you feel guilt over creating them?
Hey, thanks for Ghost, seriously.

I was looking to port over our homegrown django blog app into a proper blogging engine and I immediately though of Medium because of HN conditioning, and had so many problems with it, all of them boiling down to lack of control: No way to embed stuff we wanted (we wanted to embed interactive graphs and tooltips), no way to disable some bullshit features (highlight popups), no way to get our own domain name, etc.

Ghost solved all this. And on top of that, it's markdown, which makes it just fantastic. And open source. And self-hostable. And you guys run a wonderful, exemplary foundation behind it. I have nothing but admiration for what you do, and I'm proud to be a paying client for it and recommend it to anyone for company blogs (it is unfortunately expensive for personal stuff however).

My #1 wishlist for it is better image embedding/resizing/thumbnailing support (native image gallery & captions, native thumbnailing, automatic thumbnailing of hero headers for the article list view).

My #2 wishlist is Postgres support. I'm very sad you dropped support for it :(

An SSD can't save a write in a microsecond, its latency is at least an order of magnitude higher, right?
Are Facebook’s Ads Controlling Us? A New Version of an Old Question
> it's mostly my own personal nostalgia rather than it being "better"

I believe from a UX standpoint the win95 UI was better. Microsoft did a lot of actual usability research in evolving the UI of Windows 3.1 into that of 95. Moving forward I believe they compromised on usability in favour of a more "sexy" minimalist aesthetic.

A particularly good example is the 3D of the old UI contrasted to modern flat UIs provides far more obvious hierarchy and hinting of what can be interacted with and in what way.
It's not the use of the word, it's the background that comes with it. Seeing "cyber" all over a resume usually means the candidate has been a contractor for some government agency where they run a vuln scanner and deliver the reports to someone, but don't really have any understanding of the results, or any real responsibility at all, usually.

Nope, that's one you can get in Germany or from this Italian cartel. Silhouette is frameless.
I do not understand.

Even if there was a separate OS running in parallel with Android, how could it access the wireless-networks-based and satellite-based location data? I thought that access to these things is controlled by Android.

In other words, when I turn off e.g. satellite location data in Android, can IZat (which, according to your post, runs outside of Android) or other similar spyware keep secretly using it anyway? That would be quite worrying.

I suppose that the location data can be collected by sniffing the low-level communication between the radio device and Android kernel, provided that it has been enabled in Android first. But even then, how could this location data be transferred out of the device? Are these "parallel-running" OSs also able to somehow "tap into" Android's network layer and send the collected data out?

And they exist in situations where determinants are difficult or impossible to define! Infinite dimensional vector spaces can still have transformations with eigenvectors but you generally can't define a determinant coherently for them (certainly they might have infinitely many eigenvalues and if the determinant is the product, then you have convergence problems). A classic example is that the standard Gaussian distribution is an eigenvector of the Fourier transform.
yes. thank you. it's well known that profit figures can be manipulated, especially in the entertainment business, which offers perhaps the most egregious case. but not every corporation goes to those extremes.

the fact remains that many corporations report that they have earned a profit, year after year. the federal government (until last year's extreme tax law overhaul) was on track to collect about $400 billion a year in taxes on corporate income. (see https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FCTAX )

(if corporations are so easily able to make their profits vanish with accounting tricks, why did they push so hard for this tax rate reduction?)

on the other hand, employee head counts are not immune to manipulation. they too can be decreased: job functions of actual employees can be sourced to outside contracting firms. some jobs can be eliminated or automated.

the point i was trying to make, overall, is that it's wise to take the needed cash from those who are most able to pay it. i'm not sure employer head count really captures that. and it adds a disincentive to job creation. is that the best idea they can come up with?
Why would you strain your wrist? You don't need to have mouse strictly perpendicular to the display, it can sit at an angle and you only move it relatively to the "resting" position. I use large and ten-key keyboards everywhere and my mouse has at least 20-30 cm of free space to the right side of keyboard - no fatigue issues at all and my wrist on mouse hand is always straight.

I'm curious what Ghosts' bylaws are, how is it actually organized? I presume it's not a 501c(3) since it's engaged in commercial space and doesn't take charitable donations.

With such a high percentage of text on the web in UTF-8, and many uses for variable-length integers, I hope that we'd see single instructions for reading and writing Unicode codepoints to/from UTF-8, as well as reading/writing 128-bit variable length integers (preferably prefix-encoded[0] rather than LEB128).

A while back, I read that the Chinese Longson processors were a (subset?) of the MIPS instruction set with added instructions for Unicode handling, but that's all I've heard of processors with Unicode accelerating instructions, and I'm not sure which encoding(s) was/were accelerated.

Do baks sell customers location data?
I was traveling in Newfoundland last summer (Deer Lake) and someone phoned into the radio station reporting that they saw an overly large moose. This may be the biggest story of the year.
That doesn't prove anything other than intentionally distorting the features that the taster receives causes incorrect classification results. If you hand a sommelier a glass of red wine and say that it's from South Africa but it's actually from Australia, they are going to be way off in their estimations. It's not because there is no discernible difference, it's because the priors are completely shifted when you give the wrong information.
Making a cell phone out of a pi with a sim card and gps daughter board is sounding less and less crazy each day. Really looking forward to when the librem phone starts shipping. I wonder if they've really been thorough enough vetting hardware for those bare-metal security issues.

This is at once staggering and completely unsurprising that companies would violate user trust in such a way and sell data without proper vetting that exploits people and could potentially put them in danger. Yet another episode in the misadventures of techno-illiterate regulation and totally unread TOS agreements.
Not a Mason, but yes, that's my take. Lodges provide the essential community functions and the recognition of a "universal brotherhood", without requiring any specific theological pronouncements (other than a basic acknowledgement that a "higher power" exists, which is vague enough to allow anyone). This allows virtually everyone in the community the ability to join and work together, more-or-less regardless of individual background or tradition.

Historically, secular fraternities like the Freemasons played a big role in keeping mixed-denomination communities communal, instead of fracturing off into hard, non-fluid segments. I would conjecture that we owe a lot of our cultural religious tolerance to the foundations of trust and community laid in the Masonic lodges of yore.

IMO it's a shame that these groups are not very widely established anymore (at least among "younger" people, who are now becoming "older" people). These fraternities do a great deal to help adults, families, and whole communities.

The only reason I haven't personally seriously inquired into joining such a group is that I'm already in a very active church community that covers most of the Masonic functions, and I have enough trouble just keeping up with that. I'd miss too many lodge meetings, etc.

For anyone who is floating or looking for a consistent community to anchor against, that will be there as an instant community even if you move around, Freemasonry or similar orgs are really worth investigating.
Good to know. I'll check them out.
That was very informative, decent reasons not to let your drain maintenance get out of hand, or leave the stopper next to the drain.

> I had a friend in college who liked to take showers while pass-out drunk. He flooded the adjoining rooms several times when his unconscious body blocked the drain. Luckily this shower was not a tub or he may not have survived these incidents.

Jesus Christ, I wouldn't know about college, but that seem crazy. I hope your friend got the help he needed.
Interns are awesome and smart. Never give them garbage work. Give them a challenge and see if they can handle it. Worst case scenario, you throw away their work after they leave, and they have learned some stuff.
You can also put marbles into them to restore the volume, but I don't bother. I've only once had a bottle that went far off (meaning too much of the alcohol evaporated out), and I'd kept it with only 2-ish shots in it for probably a year and a half. So normally after I get down to about the last quarter bottle, I try to finish them within a couple months, and that's done me well.
In a related note- has anyone kept a full time job and worked on small remote projects at home at the same time? eg an occasional 20 hours on a weekend. or a few hours per week.
Yes, I'm running current chrome on current macOS with a GeForce GTX 980 Ti (6gb vram) and 16gb ddr3. CPU utilization is 75% on all four cores and when drag-scrolling around the map I don't get more than 10fps. EDIT: I measured it with the developer tools. The performance is not significantly different with them open. I have a feeling you'll never be able to solve this without going to webgl because canvas drawing is slow af. I highly recommend checking out Three.JS. I wouldn't be surprised if you could port the entire game to using it in a week or so.

I think this kind of submission shows how favorably some business leaders are treated when they've passed a certain threshold. After that point anything they do or touch is considered newsworthy, no matter how trivial. Furthermore, everything under the sun is attributed to this person's personal and direct influence.
Ya know, that conversation already happened,

That's the thing, as the other commenter pointed out: for all practical purpose, there was no "debate" or "conversation" (outside the tech community, and a few wonky policy discussion forums). It has been basically presented as a fait accompli.

The "powers that be" chose public safety over personal privacy.

That may be the rational for (some of) the customers.

But I'm sure you know all too well that the vendors of this technology are (overwhelmingly) motivated by the pursuit of one thing, and one thing only. And it certainly isn't your safety or mine.
I wonder if there is a forensic term for a "one-two punch" of this sort.
My first thought on seeing this was Bjoern Hoehrmann's UTF-8 decoder, which encodes a finite state machine into a byte array:

http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de/utf-8/decoder/dfa/

I happened to come across this decoder again recently in Niels Lohmann's JSON library for C++:

https://github.com/nlohmann/json

I see that this is mentioned in a previous post:

https://lemire.me/blog/2018/05/09/how-quickly-can-you-check-...

One thing I'd like to check in the new code is whether it's as picky about things like overlong sequences as Bjoern's code is.

We're a remote first company, FWIW we post positions here in the Who is Hiring posts, and on Angel List.

The very first thing we look for in new employees is indicators that they will be able to perform in a remote environment. This is by far our most important flag.

Good indicators for remote performance could obviously be previous remote experience, but also experience as a freelancer or founder of a startup. We do hire people without these if they are great communicators and obvious self-starters during a take-home task that we give everyone.
Because the Java GC has better throughput than the Go GC. The Go GC makes enormous throughput sacrifices by prioritizing latency above all else.
I wouldn't say that it gives less abstractions. The Rust devs are obviously careful about adding abstractions that add a performance cost, but Rust has quite a few abstractions that Go doesn't have; generics being the most notable one.

Show HN: Call remote functions as if they where local (ws-remote-fn)
If you have a link to such an academic study then we can discuss it in more detail. But sommeliers can absolutely taste a wine and produce fairly reliable estimates of country, region, appellation, variety, etc. That's essentially what they are trained to do, their exam is literally that.
I mean unless you've got a ham license and bounce your signal through your own network of relays using a different band than the final signal to the cell tower. But I don't think that's going to work as a popular solution. Would be a really fun experiment to build though.

I wonder if you could still use latency timing to get a rough fix on location through a secondary network like that. Not that anyone would be trying to.
I love how incredibly fair your posts always are. I think I have learned something from every single one. :)
Another thumbs-up for Furkot. I use it in place of Garmin's infuriating software and just load it on the device when I'm done. It served me well for a multi-week motorcycle trip to Alaska, and a variety of smaller trips to British Columbia and the like. Since every use case is different I won't go on about why I like it, but in summary it is impressively well done.

I'd compare to CampTarget, but like many others the immediate need for my location and creds was an insta-close for me.
> Nobody was upset about the port 25 blocks.

I am. I want to run a mail server from home. I want to run a web server from home. I have the up speed, but my ISP either makes it hard or puts in their terms that I can't. If nobody minds that SMTP inbound blocked, will they similarly not mind when their other favorite bi-directional communication system stops working because it is blocked? If the ends of the spectrum want to handle reputation management, open relays, spam, etc they can.

Now of course I don't conflate this with the modern view of NN, simply because doing so would dilute its efforts. But, for me ideally, I would like all targets/bytes/ports/packets to be neutral in transit.

if you want to get it to blow up then (based on past experience of what seems to catch regulator/legislator interest) I'd say that someone tracking the locations of a load of politicians for a while, finding things of interest about places they've visited and then publishing on a news outlet would do the job.
