The other options are to let everybody in or to suppose you already know the right criteria for who'd be the "best" immigrants. Hint: you don't.

Genuinely random selection averts loads of really nasty problems in a system where you need to pick things even though humans tend to be sure some other approach would work better.
It's ironic. The free market requires a form of socialism to actually work.

Education, Infrastructure, Military, etc.

All socialistic enterprises funded by the general fund.

Free enterprise does not work without a socialistic framework to support it.

For a pure unregulated free market see Ethiopia.
I doubt it. There is no "are you sure?" on the decline button. So typically I decline something and wonder why two days later someone complains why have declined his review.
How does not reevaluating asbestos in homes benefit Russia?
Not that I'm pro-Trump, but asbestos is indeed quite benign if not freely inhalable; and the most carcinogenic type, blue asbestos (crocidolite) has been banned in new products for many decades (that is unlikely to change.) The only type in active use is chrysotile (white asbestos), and there is evidence to suggest that low exposures to it are not so harmful:

Inhaling fibres of anything is not healthy, but some are more harmful than others. In fact one could say the tobacco industry has done far more harm to people than asbestos.

There is a difference between swearing and having, as you put it, a hissy fit. Not all swearing is demeaning behaviour, and plenty of people lose their shit without swearing (oops I said shit).
Doesn't Windows have ads embedded w/in their OS?
Interestingly, before making this change the line did use a simple "enter account your number" prompt that was followed by a consistent combination of little clicking sounds that seemed to indicate something was happening. I found that much more pleasant than fake key taping.
The Visitor episodes were some of the best. I loved the concept of his character about as much as the Q.

But then with the right acting and writing many different types of characters can become compelling - see Quark, for instance.

If my memory is correct (might not be) you get a Notice since PHP5. So around 13 years ago.
I agree, you can find a lot of peoples pain points from just going to forums.

Looking back now, it amazes me at how often you see people crying out for a solution that they want to pay someone for. Mainly CMS plugins, but there's still a lot of opportunity out there.

Also, nice product!
Microsoft shakes down tens of companies with bogus patents, Google does not. That is one comparison you are forgetting.
Is this some PR firm hired by Holmes to post negative content? Or Holmes herself? I feel like there are only 10 ppl in the world who would really believe the above statement / stand to gain from it.

The book he is “promoting” is the one he wrote about Theranos / Holmes fraud. It’s incredibly germane to the article.
I'm paying $0.26/kwH in MA after I caculate the bill myself. ($140 no AC) They advertise $0.15/kwh and add distribution charges. I imagine the cost of maintance has risen quite a bit, but compared to the cable or internet bill it's reasonable. A solar contractor told me you can buy warehouse, put panels on the roof and they will pay the mortgage. That's incredible I think

I think the PISA tests disprove your hypothesis.
Your post plus the context of Factorio brings about an interesting observation that in all of my Factorio maps, expansion/exploration happens rightwards and upwards unless constrained by geography.
Isn't it the job of property inspectors to make those kinds of determinations?

Why would the EPA be evaluating existing individual homes? Isn't the EPA supposed to be responsible for more general and global environmental concerns?

Asbestos hasn't been used in new homes for quite some time. Everyone already knows the risks and how special care is needed for removal and renovations. What's to research? Seems like the status quo of don't do it going forward and be careful with older properties is fine.

None of that is going away. Seems like this is being blown out of proportion. What new danger is going to happen because of this?

They aren't relaxing the existing ban on asbestos in new homes.
Well damn. Read an article about factorio at 5:30pm on Friday, there goes my whole weekend.
Are you telling me they brought back Windows 7? 'Cause that's what people want.
150-Year Wait for Indian Immigrants with Advanced Degrees
I assume this where a white-board comes into place and you teach them about O-notation, etc, right?
> The other options are to let everybody in or to suppose you already know the right criteria for who'd be the "best" immigrants. Hint: you don't.

On an individual basis of course not, but you don't think in the aggregate better candidates can be chosen?
The article is badly written, if true. The title is almost entirely unrelated to the content.
> Actually "mirror the action verb" surprises/confuses me

To a certain extent, I would think this is the point of using this approach (at least for a "delete" action). I'd prefer the user to stop and think, "wait, what is this?" instead of just blindly clicking through.
If you live in a universe of scarce resources, are you free?
they totally should have published the article in the Dyslexie typeface, or like made a toggle you could press.
Gotta love the despotism too.

I’m not a communist. Probably the market the US spread through the globe from 1945-2017 was a highlight. A pretty well buffered system, but not without it’s hard lessons and squandering of the individual wealth. There are clear examples of exploitation.

This article portrayed Super Cruise as something qualitatively different, based on the maps of existing roadways. I'm not sure if they've also considered integrating the multiple systems involved in driver assistance. I'm curious if Tesla has either for that matter.
I hear Firefox compiles twice as fast with the new compiler.
Despite what people around here (including me) might think, when you have the Rolling Stones advertising for you and people are lining up to buy your product at midnight, you're pretty cool.
Okay, not all gateways. But top by volume, yes. Not by the people running them, but at the network/ISP layer. There was some open source reporting about it in Singapore (not a democracy admittedly) I'll try to dig up. But on the 5th anniversary of the Snowden leaks, why do you find it strange?
AI is largely a research dominated field, and as such, it emphasizes novelty. Once the average developer starts using it I think things will change towards more practical concerns. We're starting to see this already with existing libraries and porting to non-python environments.
Additionally, if the OK option is something major and irreversible or destructive, make that different color be red, and change the OK to be what the operation is (Delete, Erase, etc.)
New episodes stopped over 15 years ago, after a 30 year run. It played in reruns for at least another 10 years (I'm not sure if it's still airing), and the animated spin-off has been airing new episodes for the past 6 years.

It's still kind of a big deal. It's aimed at pre-schoolers, so you won't find too many teens and adults talking about it online much.

Old stuff always gets stale, and does so more quickly these days where fashion and technology change so quickly.
If there are competing projects that I am unfamiliar with, stars count and last commit date decide which I try using first. If it works, I go with it.

I may star both repos in case an issue comes up and I need to try something else. I use stars to “save” repos so I can find them later if I forget the names.

I am a bootstrapped founder and I find this to be the quickest approach.
My point is that if Apple's webapps are good enough to serve as the only interface to e.g. your documents on other platforms, they should also be good enough for MacOS. I don't personally believe that they are good enough for that but you can't have it both ways: Either Apple doesn't support other platforms well enough for their ecosystem to be a good choice for a multi-platform user or else their web apps are good enough that they don't need corresponding desktop apps.

To directly address your question, though, I am a fan of so-called progressive webapps and very much not a fan of electron.
In general I agree that more reporting should include measures of uncertainty. But I also think there are cases when talking about inflation where uncertainty measures are inappropriate.

You can have uncertainty in the average price of avocados, or in the number of avocados that millennials consume on average. But those aren't very holistic views of inflation.

If I define my holistic measure of inflation to be the CPI, then there's no margin of error. Its just a number that the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes every month. I can say, for example, that the CPI for June 2009 was exactly 215.693. Or that the CPI increased by 1.47%, exact to the nearest 0.01%, between March 2012 and 2013.

On the other hand, if you want to ask whether the CPI is any good as a measure of inflation, then in general inflation isn't precisely enough defined to talk about that with a simple margin of error. There is no exact definition of inflation that we're trying to approximate, so we can't say things like "we're 95% confident that the actual inflation value was between 1.4% and 1.5%".

I understand the situation, but have to disagree here. Let's face it, this industry is always in flux and things change, that's the only constant there is. However Microsoft is one of the best in the world at maintaining product support and backwards compatibility, often through decades. You can still run apps on Windows written in the 90s. You can even upgrade from DOS through Win 10 and still have a working operating system at the end. [1]

Yes, some small MS projects die, but overall you can still run almost all the old stuff, and interop and upgrade to the latest when you're ready. AppFabric extended support is through April 2022 [2], which is 4 years from now. It's possible you never got an update about it but regardless, they still support it. That being said, the cloud has changed everything and there are just more options now. In-memory distributed computing particularly has seen an incredible pace of progress with everything from Apache Ignite to Apache Spark so I think you would likely have more work to keep up with changes had you gone with another stack from the beginning.

Axiom Verge (a metroid-vania) starts you off by going to the left first, just like Metroid did.
I have always used a Mac, and just occasionally Windows: I have never noticed this detail until I read this article. Sure, something always seemed “off” with dialogs in Windows, but I couldn’t pinpoint it. So I don’t think the author never used a Mac, it’s more likely that they never connected the dots either.
I think we're letting our bias show in cases of religion. Why care what religion someone is, as long as they're ethical, accepting of others, and generally non-toxic? The fact that some Christians are intolerant of others doesn't mean all Christians are, and it's sad that we have to have a disclaimer such as yours, to "remember that not all Christians are bad".
Did Apple flush the case production plans down the toilet?

I don't understand why the 15" MBP with an HDMI and usb ports can't be manufactured with better processors / SSDs / port versions / video cards / LCDs.

Just give me a MBP with an OLED, new SSD/procs/video cards, HDMI 2.0+, and sure maybe a bunch of USB/USB-C. The developers of the world will eat that up.

If Apple cares so little for it's computers, bring back the approved hackintosh.

Don't even get me started about how desktop computing is fundamentally screwed up. Windows died with windows 8. Linux cannot stop reinventing the desktop wheel and busting compatibility every time (Gnome 2/3/Mate/Mint/KDE/Unity is all a big huge disaster). And Apple can't slum themselves to cheap hardware and the CTRL - vs - AppleKey is just terrible for switching between machines.

Intel should have grabbed the reins of OS and partnered with Google for a real Linux desktop. They should have done that the second they saw the Windows 8 tile demo.
It's probably way more important that you watch and understand it than him.
If you have the 2012 MBPr, you’re out of luck since it’s considered too outdated to qualify for service. Otherwise, try to make an appointment at a Genius Bar or walk into any authorized service provider who should be able to handle the claim for you.
I like OK Cancel because it implies that tab-enter on the last entry field is submit without breaking expected left-right right flow of tab index.
Indeed, it wouldn't surprise me if cryptolocker or it's ilk will look for bitcoin (etc.) private keys while it's doing it's evil stuff from your PC. So physical access is not a requirement. To some extent one should assume everything on your PC could be accessed by a criminal (like your house... which is why people buy safes)
Ask HN: Details on Twitter's Git extensions
I have seen the "Scaling git at twitter" talk

My questions are:

1) Is there a plan to open source or release a public version of the binaries for client and server? If no, does GPL licensing not force them?

2) do they handle per file permissions or is their codebase completely open to all contributors?

3) how much performance benefits do they actually get? (with the details of the test repository)

I know Microsoft has GVFS but I'm guessing they have multiple repositories, so permissioning is probably not an issue they have tried to solve. The github.com repo doesn't have code for permissions
It is actually 30 USD now, but I still think it is well worth it. (I've definitely derived 30 USD of entertainment from it!) I've bought it for myself, and gifted it to three other people. Very addicting game for programmers.

The blog is quite good too, and the interactions I've seen with the developers have been excellent. There's a reddit community too: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio

There's an active modding community as well, and several of the mods are fairly extensive; I'd recommend beating the vanilla game first, though.

For anyone on the fence about buying the game, there is a free demo[1].

I know it's easy to snipe, as we often do here on HN, but a series of screenshots with no alt text is an accessibility disaster.

I once flew on a plane that had electric window tints instead of manual blinds. It was neat, until the airline turned my window off which disabled my personal control of it. What a frustration, to not be able to control my own view of the sky!
The Infocom games were actually after a lot of earlier games like Colossal Cave (aka "Adventure") and the Scott Adams (not the Dilbert guy) adventures. As such, their parser was actually pretty advanced compared to the 1970s games and understood whole sentences rather than the traditional two words.
a fairly standard industrial welding cell like a Panasonic 750 is between $85 to 125 thousand dollars per unit, which includes robot arm, welding power supply, turntable, chassis that is it mounted to, and the transformer to power it. Requires 240V 3ph 60A service.

No cross platform APIs have disappeared! The 'worst' thing that's happened was that a barely supported and never updated API was officially deprecated.
Years ago I read an article [0] that was championing Cancel-Ok based on the fact that most of the world reads from left to right and thus the eyes move from left to right. If you use Ok-Cancel, user's eyes have to essentially go back to the positive action, which is the one that they do more often.

Actually, the distance from the plane to distant objects exaggerates parallax. The closer an observer is to the window, the stronger the effect. Just like a really long lever.
Very happy for you. I'm on the same exact boat, first customer signed up on the 6th of this month which I'm ecstatic about. Wondering if you are German since it says Berlin as the HQ at the bottom of your page?
These aren't issued patents, they're published applications for patents.

When you read these applications, look first at the claims. If you believe any of those shouldn't be granted by the PTO in an issued patent, read the application in detail to learn more about the claim(s) you don't like. Why?

Because if you're right (example: claim shouldn't issue because of citeable prior art), you (anyone) can make a Preissuance Submission to the PTO saying why the claim(s) shouldn't be allowed. Here's a real brief view of how P.S works [1].

Really, if you as a person with domain knowledge see a problem with an application, it serves all of us for you to challenge it.

I've done this once in an energy storage context. The target application never issued as a patent (and rightfully so).

FYI - It is generally frowned upon to make a comment on HN along the lines of “I will get downvoted, but...”. It is completely unnecessary and you could just make your point without it.

Also, you can defend yourself later when people respond. Prematurely saying “I am ready to take the heat” is not how we communicate here.
That’s exactly the direction Apple is taking with their Siri Shortcuts, it can tell when you’re performing actions and then later suggest them in similar circumstances.
This was inevitable. Even if Facebook didn’t share this info intentionally, no human system is perfect and sooner or later there would be a leak. The only way to keep info safe in the internet age is dead trees or just not collecting it in the first place.
seeing the arctic from above was truly a treat for me as well. it's so foreign looking relative to other landmasses.
I'm pretty sure that's a misconception. That's just the application using a system library for that dialog box, and the system library's look and feel (unsurprisingly) match the Finder's. In some cases, the code may actually be the same (i.e. the Finder itself uses that system library, too), but far from always.

This tends to show up if you're trying to tweak/customize preferences (e.g. from the command line or editing plists directly), since you usually have to duplicate the effort for both places.
My suggestion is, instead of "making" the bed, pull the top sheet and covers down to the end and let the bed air out. It's easier and more healthy.
> So the answer from this veteran UX designer would be: Use whichever placement your users are going to be the most familiar with, but whichever you choose, be 100% consistent with the choice you make.

What are your thoughts on how smartphones might impact this left vs. right debate? The button on the right is accessible without using just one hand (tapping with thumb while holding in palm), but I need two hands to tap the button on the left.

But I'm left-handed. Do right-handed people hold their smartphone in their left hand? It just occurred to me that my minority handedness might be why I've always found large smartphones hard to use.
I think what I don't appreciate is how many people are trying to calm peoples fears about the acquisition.

I guess Github was in worse shape than they looked like on the outside. Happens; the fact that the 3 founders made a fortune off of this is unfortunate.

One of those founders stepped down and yet he still won.

ASP.NET Core is a full-stack web framework and has about 100x more features and support. fasthttp is quick but it doesn't even implement the http spec completely.

The Emmy speech mentioned there:

Its funny that people have been actually making these types of arguments since the beginning of recorded history. The argument that entertainment overrides some rational instinct in people and separates them from reality to think entertainment is the same as real life.

It used to be illegal to make movies with a man and a woman in the same bed together because it was thought to create uncontrollable carnal desires in people. Music and television and books used to be heavily censored due to all their corrupting ideas. Dungeons and Dragons was considered satan worship and evil as well. See the Comstock Law. See prohibition of alcohol...

The problem with all of these arguments is that they have ALL BEEN PROVEN WRONG every single time. Porn, beer, cursing in music, violence in movies, playing an immersive tabletop game where you make the decisions... have never once ever throughout all of human history caused your average person to lose their minds. Normal people are capable of receiving new ideas and using them to build a richer world perspective instead of turning into slathering immoral animals at the first chance.

Another infinitely better argument is that this type of entertainment is cathartic and beneficial.
People fulfill desires through a fantasy instead of reality, thereby decreasing the behavior and actually making the world a better place. But that would requiring viewing people as responsible, self-aware, reflective, adults who are capable of thinking for themselves.
This. I had to disable google's "assistant" notifications because it kept pestering me about things I had no interest in. They always seem to have an "I see you're trying to write a letter. Do want some help?" clippyesque feel to them. When I activate a system is probably the only time it's ok to add a guiding interaction (like do you want me to make this default?). I really wish I could tell the voice activated things, "Ok, from now on when I say to play 'rockin beats' I'm talking about my Pandora channel, don't make me say 'play rockin beats on pandora' every time." I do almost the same things every day with Alexa, but it still messes up simple context. For instance: I will never ask for alexa for news while THE ALARM IS GOING OFF. If it "hears" news while the alarm is going off then it heard wrong. I said SNOOZE.
