I had nothing but pain when trying to run an exit node. Every site behind cloudflair would captcha me on what seemed like every page. Cox shut off my internet every other week due to "computers on my network being infected with viruses", and I'd have to call their support and tell them I cant be infected I only run linux at home.

I could do some shenanigans on my modem and end up with a new dynamic IP from cox, but generally within hours that new IP would be on whatever list people use to track exit node IPs and the pain would start all over again.
I wished their sample animations were not GIFs but actual live renders. I couldn't find a web based "live example", but if it can do what they say, it looks pretty cool.
yes, this is the standard way to do the cookie syncing business.

Support for blackletter was the default position of pre-WWII German nationalists. Hitler banned it during the war because, of all things, blackletter would have required two typesets for multi-lingual publications in occupied territories, and because it would have been hard for occupied populations to read (German was to become the new lingua franca, after all).

Not that I would expect Varg to be that well-read on the vagaries of the wartime German military administration's printing office.
How many projects are there out there that repositories hosted in GH, run in GH, and have package manifests that directly reference other GH repos. I'm sure there are a lot.
Ask HN: Startup/VC discussion site OnDeckDaily.com is dead. Is there an archive?
The site has been dead for a few weeks. I've tried messaging the developer there but haven't been able to get a response.

It's mostly not on archive.org or archive.is.

I'm pretty bummed that it's down - it had great interviews with people like Keith Rabois, Sarah Tavel, Elad Gil, David Hornik, Daniel Gross, Justin Kan, etc. Would be a huge bummer to think that all the hours those people spent answering questions on there are lost.

Long shot but - did anyone on HN archive it?
Everything you said is right, but you are missing the point.

Thinner means more luggable, but if it restricts a workhorse machine from having more than the 16gb of ram the base model can also have because they can't fit enough battery to power it, then why not go all the way and shrink it to the size of the 12" MacBook? Well, because of the other components you might say! But, if the CPU throttles, the GPU throttles, the keyboard stops working and the anti-reflective coating peels off, all because of the thermal stress the machine is under when used as a workhorse, then is not much of a workhorse is it? Besides, no one is asking for an aircraft carrier, the thickness of the 2015 version was good enough for nearly everybody, specially when you do have laptops like the MacBook that do make those compromises.

Apple is sort of a luxury brand but the problem is they want it both ways. They want to be seen as an aspirational brand and as a workhorse brand. That is why they keep releasing FinalCut, Logic, and XCode. At some point those two ambitions are going to collide; most people think they already did.

No one is asking for a tank, you are presenting a false dichotomy as no one is confusing professional with ruggedized. Every serious complain about the MacBook Pro is about specs, ports and reliability, not unbreakability. In fact, based on your previous point about luxury machines I say you are the one that is confused. Are MacBook Pros professional machines or not? If they are luxury items as you claim then by all means don't make them waterproof but if they want to aim it at people editing 8K video on-site in Africa, which happens by the way, then ffs make the screen less reflective.
The OP initially says if you’re small time they likely won’t target you. Are you really saying if you’re super small time, the EU is going to go after your payment processing? Of course anything is possible. It seems highly unlikely though.

Then his/her last point is that they’ll give you a chance to correct things.

Your post doesn’t seem to cover that either.

Yes, this. People are most important. It's amazing how hard a lesson that is.
Presumably, a talented software engineer has literally hundreds of other options besides Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Oracle, and Palantir though, right?

I agree we need strict regulations on the use of AI in the military. It carries the same risks as nuclear weapons and chemical and biological weapons for disproportionate harm, but without the extreme cost.

"I'm pretty sure there's plenty of HN readers who actually favor the US military empire"

From the comments of many of the people defending Google's involvement in Project Maven, I am quite confident, unfortunately, that you are correct there as well.
Perhaps. But will they be as good? I doubt it. The smart / best ones, knowing the futility, will take their time and energy elsewhere. It's a brain drain of sorts.

If the risk doesn't match the rewards the best will look to apply their energy elsewhere.

True, but at the same time, "let's not do this" also isn't an ethical get-out-of-jail-free card. Google engineers can act all high and mighty morally, but guess what: it doesn't matter at all either way.
I took GP as a genuine question posed without taking a stand on the issue morally.

> That's a rather condescending reply

The reply begins with a sincere "...First, however, I would like to express my great admiration for you...".

The denoted intent of the letter is certainly not condescending.

Perhaps the content is what makes the letter condescending?
The letter, if written today, might come off as condescending. It states many obvious truths, such as the observation that space development provides valuable tools to Zambian nuns. Today, this is obvious [1], and to point out such obvious facts to an expert borders on condescension.

But GPS wasn't at all an obvious implication of NASA funding in 1970!

If the letter comes off as condescending today, it's only because time (and science funding) has turned the impossible into the pedestrian.

Wow, that's big - 2 and 1/3rd feet. The crows I see in cities in India seem to be not more than a foot or so in body length, and I've seen some from a few few away. But they can be aggressive when in groups (as in the sense of cawing more and flying around the person), if someone seems to threaten them by throwing or waving something at them. Never actually heard of a case of them pecking someone, but it could have happened.

For most of that time, the US had an adversary that was roughly on par militarily, ahead in some areas and behind in others. The post WWII peace isn’t built on American dominance, it’s built on MAD.
My guess is complexity. Any gene still in there is a gene that can go wrong. Purging unuseful ones minimises risk.
I agree and share the same sentiment about all your examples. And I would say the trajectory will get worse before it gets better. In fact, I feel collapse is likely.

But this is confusion of ideas once more. Your examples have everything to do with the relentless pursuit of money. This is a separate problem, and is directly related to heart NOT intelligence. Collapse will come to all degenerate societies regardless of intellect and technological prowess.
I certainly won't argue with that! We should be spending much more money on poverty reduction than on basic science.
There's really nothing special there. Grid operators balance generation and demand, and need to continually update their models. E.g., generate less during midday and more in the late afternoon. It's a hard job sure. That's why we hire experts to do it.

The problem is that utilities want it both ways. They want to charge you peak usage despite the fact that "peak" generation is actually becoming one of the cheapest times for power.

If they allowed free-market pricing in that power they could easily find a use for "curtailment" -- people would crank their ACs or charge their cars if the price kWh dropped below a certain point.
The delta-v also depends on the mass fraction you can achieve. Removing the tanks might mean a much higher mass fraction, so you have the same delta-v with much lower Isp.
If you enjoy doing it, then it's a great incentive. If you do it because it saves money, then how else can you earn more money instead?

I have some experience in the nonprofit sector. While you obviously don't want to see people being cavalier with donor dollars, nonprofits that are obsessed with cost cutting are more effective at scolding people for wanting a chair that isn't falling apart or making a few too many photocopies than they are at their missions.

This all makes sense, but why then is the "standard" (coal-fired?) electricity the same price as the "renewable" electricity? Why does the utility "waive" the distribution fee?

In fact, passing it on to the consumer as an option doesn't make any sense to me. The utility negotiates bulk price and averages it out for consumers. If anything the conversation with the utility should be entirely about matching behavior to supply and/or dynamic pricing, and not at all about renewable vs non-renewable voltage.
For some ISPs, if you go to https://as12345.net (where the 12345 is their globally unique AS number), you'll get a looking glass tool. Or a page with a link to their looking glass, contacts for NOC and abuse for use in NOC-to-NOC communications, etc. I don't think Google would do that, though.
Yes. I agree. My issue was with the phrase "use it, or lose it." As you said there's plenty of "left over" genes. They're not lost. What's happened is their traits have been replaced by a more advantageous trait. The former might still be useful, but the latter are more so and become the majority, so to speak.
What Arnold is saying is that mathematics is part of the natural world, with immutable truths that can be discovered.

He is saying that the science of mathematics is part of the natural sciences. There's no reason for a statistician, or a computer scientist, or an economist to agree with that -- these fields depend on the natural truths discovered by mathematical science just as surely a biologists depends on the natural truths discovered by chemists.

Stupid question, but since Google is a public company couldn't you lock in a certain profit on your RSUs with options in a private account? Or are you talking about the restrictions on vesting are meant to make them worthless for most employees because they'll be forfeited on some draconian technicality before exercising?

I remember on Bogleheads people talking about how to reduce the risk of investing in something like an ESPP to avoid an Enron scenario, and the consensus was using options in a private account so that you get a definite payoff.
"out there [in SF]" not "out there [in the world]"
It's not just videos and streaming too. Anyone who creates content has these issues.

Even blogging has the same effect on you and it really sucks because everyone will say "you need a schedule because it's what people expect, they need to know when to tune back in".

But once you do this, your whole mentality changes from sporadically posting something interesting because you overcame some obstacle and wanted to share your newfound knowledge to "it's time to think about next week's post, and it must be done because your schedule dictates a new post in 2 days".

It's very stressful, even if you enjoy it.

According to

http://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/san-francisco-pop...

SF pop is 870,887. Budget for 17/18 is 10,106 millions, which make it $11,604 per capita: that means more budget per capita than most states, except Minnesota, Washington, Kentucky, Wyoming, Oregon, and North Dakota.

Your first point was

City budgets are tiny compared to state budgets which are tiny compared to the federal budgets.

which is simply not true when speaking of SF.

You shouldn't compare it to some of the smallest and most conservative states with the smallest state budgets.

You're saying I should cherry pick the data so SF doesn't look that bad in comparison?
Has anyone watched the Netflix series bojack horseman? It seems to deal with this topic of burnout and mental health in a very realistic and touching way. In case you haven’t seen it, it’s about an actor who makes it big for one tv show but becomes aimless and depressed once the show was over.
I agree. I’d guess that the downvoters are thinking along the lines of:

- Sure it’s bad now, but the US military is made up of far more than just the president... many of which may be good, rational actors.

- Just because it’s bad now doesn’t mean it won’t get better quickly (there has been a lot of pushback on the president’s agenda)

- The US may still be comparatively better/benevolent than any other dominant superpower

Note that these aren’t necessarily my views (I’d need more time to think and consider). But I think they point out some decent possible counter arguments to OP

> If we reduce everything to being ahead of a potential enemy, then we soon get to a point where the solution of all problems is a single deadly upfront attack.

> Those technologies aren't for defense;

Have you ever heard of Mutually Assured Destruction? Basically the idea is having "credible deterrent" actually prevents the use of the weapons, because the side that makes a "single deadly upfront attack" will lose along with their opponent. The only winning move is not to play.

The problems happen when one side has capabilities the others lack, or when there are options for a "single deadly upfront attack" that aren't suicide.

In short, "offensive" technologies can be defensive.

I'd argue that many of these "features" really ended up being poorly conceived in the long run and caused all kinds of unforeseeable side effects. In particular they completely failed to anticipate the explosion in urban population which has caused the voting power of those in urban areas to be greatly diminished. As a result of the electoral college and winner-take-all systems the interests of urban voters are generally grossly underrepresented at the federal level with respect to population size.

The founding fathers were smart, but nobody in the 18th century was smart enough to anticipate the requirements of a modern electoral system. Their real mistake though was making the electoral system both incredibly complicated and very hard to change.
