Possibly that CWEB did allow arbitrarily re-ordered code, so it seems strained to criticize Knuth on that basis?

The problem I always saw with it is that no ordering is necessarily perfect - there might be different optimums for different purposes.

This is a great example of how owning the entire stack from CPU on up to user interface allows a company to do things that others just can't. Whether it's any good or not, well, time will tell. But it's not even possible for any other company (maybe Google with the Pixel, maybe).
You have to examine your own assumptions too -

1. You assume stopping "revolution" is the goal. It is not. All you have to do is look at what outcomes "revolutions" in an info saturated/low attention span/consumption culture based society have produced in the last 20 years.

2. In 2013 the Washington post did an estimate on how much was being spent on the surveillance society in the US. Everyone reacted in disbelief. Do you know by how much that budget has increased in the last 5 years? Are these people just brain-dead to be spending this kind of cash? Ofcourse not.

The US has made its share of mistakes over valuing freedom and squandering potential. China is overvaluing control and will make its share of mistakes too. We have to learn from both sets of mistakes to arrive at the right balance of where society should go in high noise info saturation environments. These are very new environment that society hasnt been in before and the right path ahead is not as obvious as people think.
Not that the powder being imported stops adulteration from happening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal

There is a cottage industry in Australia and New Zealand of people sending back milk powder and infant formula to China, often with newspapers or other proof that the package originated in Australia or NZ. There's no guarantee that the "NZ milk powder" you buy in China is real, however a sealed package from NZ is fairly certainly going to be real. I used to have a colleague from China who would bring an extra suitcase filled with infant formula and multivitamins evert time he went back home to China for his relatives.

There are now limits on the amount of infant formula you can buy at supermarkets here, especially in areas with a high concentration of Asian immigrants. Supermarket shelves were getting cleared out by grey-market exporters.

Yes, because you weren't engaging in conversation, just posting ammunition. Your other comments in the thread suggest that you have an agenda about this. That's not a good basis for posting HN comments, regardless of the agenda or whether you're right or wrong; and when the topic is divisive it basically always leads to flamewars.
> The purpose of a UBI is income redistribution, not insurance against misfortune. If you want insurance you take your money and buy insurance with it.

While this approach sounds good on paper it wouldn't work in real life. Another example--what if I'm getting the equivalent of $50k/yr in unemployment benefits under Social Security? That becomes $10k/yr under UBI. Or someone getting $60k/yr on Social Security retirement income--again $10k/yr under UBI.

Yes, you can say "Well you should save for retirement." Well, what about all the people who hit 65, and haven't saved for retirement? Or all the people who get laid off and don't have more than 2 weeks of savings? Tough luck?
The negative value case is:

> Negative values must cause the outline to shrink into the border box. Both the height and the width of outside of the shape drawn by the outline should not become smaller than twice the computed value of the outline-width property, to make sure that an outline can be rendered even with large negative values. User Agents should apply this constraint independently in each dimension. If the outline is drawn as multiple disconnected shapes, this constraint applies to each shape separately.

There's a lot of RFC 2119 SHOULD there, unfortunately.

I'm in the medical community, and one of the largest Alzheimer's research centers. It's embraced by many.
from the keynote, no information is sent to Apple for processing. Whether it'll work if you're not signed into iCloud is a different issue but from the way it's described in various places in the WWDC Keynote, it ought to work just fine without any data connection, like airplane mode and no Wifi.
None of the digital assistants (I have most of them) do anything truly useful out of the box for me, so the “needing to do work to customize” isn’t an issue for me. I’m actually happy I finally can with Siri, bit late, but better than never.
Brushed metal? No thanks.
I don't see why this could not be possible on Android. All Google needs to do is build an API for Assistant that other apps can use to 'donate' frequently used actions/intents. Assistant can then make suggestions to users based on its own analysis of users' activities in the same way Siri does.
I'm not 100% on how explicit it is (IIRC, most of this is given by setting constraints on the rendering), but it's certainly deliberate that this is unspecified.
> I can tell you that the Siri suggestions in Search really annoyed me (usually use search to find... apps, not to be fed all the crap from random apps).

In iOS 11 the delay for searhing for apps is unacceptable. instead of displaying the apps found right away (substring match over all apps should be instantaneous), it waits until all the crap from Siri and other random apps is fetched.
I’m the developer of a popular timetable/schedule app for college. It seems like the perfect use case for Siri: “What class do I have next?”.

Up until now it hasn’t been possible due to the restrictive API. I’ve looked into the new shortcuts and Siri API docs and although the beta documentation is sparse, I’m confident I’ll be able to develop a natural, first class Siri integration.

Unfortunately, it won’t be trivial to implement (at least to do well). It probably won’t be done before the iOS 12 release, and I’m hesitant to start working it just yet due to the sparse beta docs.

Over the next year or two, I think there will be some great Siri integrations built. Hopefully, users discover and use them :)

This is hilarious. You should get her a mate. :)
The purpose of this is not to show how CLI is cool, but rather to get them to take their first steps and show them that it's not scary. In other words, the goal is to get them to feel familiar in this environment. For this goal, showing them how to do things they already know but in this new environment is specially important to warm them up to it. If you show them stuff like pipes, you might impress them, but you're not lowering the hurdle.

EDIT: Put in another way, the intended audience is not people you need to convince to use the CLI, it's people that already want to try it, but find it scary.
Something that confuses people is that trades don't happen that often. Batch auctions don't change this. You still need to decide who gets priority in the auction.

If you do time priority then it's not that different from currently existing American exchanges.

If you do size priority then it's not that different from currently existing American exchanges.

If you do random priority then it's asymptotically equivalent to size priority.

Batch auctions just make it harder to quote ETFs and other products whose prices depend on prices of other products. It's likely a net loss.
Nah, this will all be handled within Blink. The drawing command will literally be told to draw polygons in the specific places in the coordinate space.

I don't appreciate the accusation. I should remind you of the HN guidelines.

> Get the laws changed, get them enforced and then culture changes to follow.

The laws should change to be even more friendly to cyclists, but strictly speaking, the laws don't need to be changed. You seem to take a pessimistic interpretation of the law, in contrast to case law which tends to side with cyclists based on what I've read. Case law is law, period. Look up Trotwood v. Selz for one famous case. Here's another case where a cyclist was ticketed for riding in the center of a 13.5 ft lane, but beat the ticket:

https://www.news-press.com/story/news/local/2015/01/28/cycli...

As the laws in most states are based on the Uniform Vehicle Code, case law in one state is frequently cited in others states.

Unambiguous laws like those in Texas are obviously preferred, but again, are not necessary. And given that people tend not to believe me when I tell them that Texas allows cyclists to ride in any lane less than 14 feet wide, I'm not certain making the law less ambiguous really would help much. It comes down to changing attitudes, which is one thing I'm trying to do here. You believe I don't have the right to take the lane, and I'm trying to show you that the law says I do.
> Markets pay for things that people of means will pay for more than it takes to create them.

Markets pay for things that people, period, will pay for more than it takes to create them. There's no restriction to "people of means". But yes, the word "worth" can be misleading if it's not understood to imply having something to trade (almost always money in today's economy) that the seller will accept in exchange.
Note that Florian is the editor of CSS UI, which defines the outline properties, where all this unspecified behaviour exists (mostly because browser vendors don't really care enough to make outline interoperable).
No, there is only a limit on an order of events that holds across all possible reference frames. If you define a fixed reference frame, there is no problem. Presumably, they define the same reference frame as whatever UTC uses.
Thank you. Finally a skeptic who doesn't have an agenda.
Not a very good tutorial if you want to learn how to make a lisp interpreter. It uses a parser combinator library, when in reality a lisp parser is so simple to implement that all you need is basic C skills. Infact it feels like a self promotion of his combinator library than an actual tutorial. Better study MAL.
What domain name is best, short and sweet or long and descriptive?
Yet another project and I'm once again in the market for a new domain. I'm torn between something short and sweet vs. something that is longer and more descriptive.

I've been down this road before and feel burned after selecting a more generic name for a service that required some name recognition (appointment.one in this case - there was just no way to Google it).

On the other hand I have done well with a more generic name that depended on long-tail SEO (10s of millions of pages linked from something like descriptive-name-with-dashes.com).

The new venture will be long tail SEO focussed again but I also want the domain to feel less fly by night. Are people more or less likely to click with the following scenarios:

* coffee-maker-review.com vs beantalk.com (so limited keyword overlap)

* best-domain-name-generator.com vs. fleetnam.com (so no keyword overlap)

The former in each example feels more descriptive, but I also feel like clicking on it would bring up a page filled with ads and zero useful content. That said, the latter options are more easily skipped over if you were to quickly scan the search results with the old eyes glazed over.

If you don't intend the project to ever have brand recognition is it a misstep to go for inventing a new word?

What have you done successfully / unsuccessfully?
For some definition of "legitimate"... it would still be nice if some progressive expert could articulate particular reasons why regressive taxes are good if they have particular qualities, rather than just saying "we like this tax, but not other ones that seem similar to it". I'm not seeing hypocrisy, but rather a line of thought that hasn't been pursued all the way to its natural conclusion. If someone were inspired to make that pursuit, we could come to a better understanding. Although I am sympathetic to progressives, most would say I am unqualified to undertake that pursuit myself.
I think we’ll see more useful docs before release, they usually release more and more up until the iPhone launch events.
> (including several in New Jersey, which coincidentally is challenging the constitutionality of the national gambling restrictions in the Supreme Court)

An update on that: New Jersey won, 6-3, with Kagan joining the conservative wing of the court in this majority. The conclusion is that Congress and the states each have concurrent power to regulate sports gambling. Congress hadn't actually done that directly, but rather had banned states from legalizing it. That's been struck down.

> profit is a notoriously crude way of measuring utility

There are no non-crude ways of measuring utility among different people with different, often incompatible, preferences.

> a lot of tragedy-of-the-commons type problems don't have "profitable" solutions without some type of government intervention.

They also don't have good solutions with government intervention, because the downsides of government intervention (regulatory capture, increasing power of the state, micromanagement of all aspects of people's lives, political power being used to benefit some instead of all) more than outweigh any increased benefit in a particular area.
It's the intersection of two different models of the financial universe.

The long-term investor has an interest in liquidity and a reasonable response time to market moving news. He's making decisions about a company based on expectations of the future. Typically, if his trade clears in 1 minute-- or even 1 day-- instead of 1 millisecond, there isn't that much in it except in some corner case situations.

The short-term investor is mostly interested in reacting to the noise in the signal-- getting a few nanoseconds ahead of other sellers and positioning accordingly. If you have enough of a "we got the info first" edge, you don't have to have any real opinion of the companies you're investing in, or even a preference of long or short, you can systematically ride the signals.

The justifications for ever-faster trading tend to break down as "more liquidity" and "less arbitrage", but we're not asking if the marginal increases in performance there are worth the costs-- both in the arms-race for faster market and informaion access, and in the impacts on market behaviour caused by large numbers of super-short-term investors throwing their inertia around tiny swings in the market.
The government doesn't need to store the video, just the processed data, such as each person's history of locations, emotional states, interactions, and actions. Analysis is automated and thus scalable to the entire country. The underlying technology improves exponentially, so everyone underestimates the social impact that this will have in a decade.
> desire and need are direct contributors to "worth" because you can extract more profit for it.

Yes, but everyone's desires and needs count in a market. Only the politically powerful's desires and needs count when the government intervenes.
I agree. Solarized was developed with objectivity in mind, but the choice of a dark-blue and light-beige background colors are completely arbitrary. I use a modified solarized palette with #444444 background and it works fine.
Although not in the same "domain", I have had good results using viainstitute.org's character strengths tests to better understand my professional and academic clients before creating/editing their resumes, linkedin profiles and interview coaching.

Cooking merit badge is required for Eagle: https://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Cooking. That link also says it was one of the original 57 merit badges, which I didn't know, but find interesting! I don't remember whether it was overly camp-cooking focused when I did it, but the current requirements include a "cooking at home" section.

Personally, what I have come to appreciate about the Boy Scouts merit badge system is breadth. None (or at least very few) of the merit badges require you to learn much about their topic, but they teach you a little, and introduce you to at least one person who knows some stuff about that thing. I feel that I learned a little bit about a lot, and my Computers merit badge instructor was one of the first computer "experts" I knew; he taught me how to wipe and install Windows 98, and was the first to show me the innards of a computer. I like to think (but don't really know) that lots of other folks stumble upon a passion in a similar way while working through the broad survey in the catalog.

I think it can be a bit hard for kids to find (or stated differently, for parents to provide) this sort of breadth, and I'm strongly in favor of any program that attempts to provide it, not just the boy / girl scouts.
One observation I made about this tool: the questions are often framed with bias themselves, usually by introducing some hidden assumption. That can start a whole discussion on a tilt, and would take some serious work to curate and sculpt.
How does one even define contrarian? This is a vast oversimplification, and OP has not provided any evidence to support their claim. This being Hacker News, I would expect a simple sentiment analysis model trained and run against a database of posts and top responses, and the data made available for independent analysis. Even if that is the case, who's to say that this is suboptimal? Current popular discourse is all too often an echo chamber of self-aggrandizing charlatans patting each other on the back for every meaningless...

... oh wait...

Employees that get part of their payment in stock are also investors. It’s just that they have less leverage so it is understood that, unlike the other investors that have preference, employees won’t get their investment back.
>the surplus isn't that large unless there is high unemployment. At low unemployment the marginal employer might pay a $24 wage producing $25 worth of value

That's still not true. You're confusing market price with value, and the more difficult to define term, worth.

What's the water you drink valued at? What's its price? There's a huge difference.

When you buy an expensive toy and spend more money on it than your water, it's not because it has more value than you living beyond 3 days, but it's because you are spending until your marginal value-add reaches equilibrium with marginal price. Same thing goes with jobs, which is just a business buying labor.
Show HN: Browsh – A modern, text-based browser
Some of you may have seen this before under its previous incarnation of "Texttop". Then it was just a hack, but I got some great feedback, so I've spent most of the last 12 months turning it into something serious. It's morphed into more than a mere TTY gimmick. That UNIX philosophy of text being the "universal interface" has somewhat unexpectedly risen to the forefront, such that Browsh is now essentially a text browser engine, serving to both TTY clients and, somewhat ironically, other browsers - see https://html.brow.sh Being able to render any modern site (even WebGL for example) to text seems like an appropriate return to the web's origins. The obvious benefit being to those less fortunate that have slow and/or expensive bandwidth.

Also, I'd be interested in any opinions here about how to financially support this project. At the very least I'd just love to somehow make this my job.
A lot of the things you learn at university you aren't going to be using on the job. You aren't going to be finding the median of two sorted arrays (very often). And even then a good google search will lead you to an elegant solution on stack overflow.

Granted it does take a knack to be a good programmer, attention to detail a feel for what's wrong when tracking down a bug.

But every problem will be a struggle the first time but as you get more experience things will get easier and easier and your programming intuition of what to do and what's wrong will become better and better.

There is a wide variety of jobs out there. Maybe test out a few frameworks and see what you like.

I always recommend learning Rails or Laravel because working on web applications is always interesting and both frameworks have great communities and learning resources.

Don't give up if you enjoy it. I think you're making it harder than it is. Your degree just gets you in the door. You're going to learn and do so much that wasn't covered in your classes.

Good luck.
Unfortunately, I think “it depends”. What is your real product, the hardware or the software? How expensive is the hardware? Is it a mass market product or a high end, low numbers thing? How good is your software?
I worked at an Apple repair facility that was part of a large county agency serving public school districts. We didn't charge a minimum fee, so we typically did the job while you watched. Pushing all of the chips back into the motherboard was called "the laying on of hands." The other quick fix was taking a pencil eraser to the edge connector of the disc controller board, which was known to use inferior gold plating.

I remember people were horrified when the IBM PC came out with soldered-in chips, but IBM published a solid report showing that the chips were more reliable than the sockets.

As long as AGCO sells retrofits that give old, completely-depreciated planters the performance of new planters, they are firmly on the farmers' side.
Lower valuations also mean less extreme growth expectations in order for the founders and employees to get a successful exit.

This may be a good tradeoff for a business with a long enough pre-investment runway, where the VC money is merely an optional accelerant, as the post you're replying to advocates.

What Is a Distributed Denial-Of-Service (DDoS) Attack
Thirded. Slower speed of light made me feel seasick though I've gone to sea multiple times and never had motion sickness like from the game. Egh..thinking about it now just makes me feel loopy.
Agreed. The only way I find & launch apps (besides the 4 on the dock) is by swipe-down from the middle of the homescreen, to reveal search, then to search for the app's name. This is very analogous to how I launch apps in OSX, namely command-SPACE, then start typing the application name.

It's extremely frustrating when iOS takes forever to find an app, or worse proioritizes all kinds of other garbage before the app's icon. If I type "waz" and I have the Waze app installed, I sure as hell expect to see the Waze icon instantly at the very top. Ideally, after typing just the "W".
