OP has a scientific background. - LOL - I have an HND (technician) in Civil Engineering and I am now the MD of an IT consultancy (obvs). I picked up the habit of using s-1 etc when studying Physics 'A' level (UK) many, many moons ago. Not too sure why I persist with it these days but I dimly remember liking the fact that you can use basic arithmetic on superscripts. To be fair I should put s^-1 but s-1 is reasonably obvious.
FYI I made a small chrome extension to auto-redirect links like this:

Although much of the agent’s game mirrors our demonstration, the agent surpasses the demonstration score of 71,500 by picking up more diamonds along the way.

> Well, I think here you point out to one, really, of the basic defects of our system: that the individual citizen has very little possibility of having any influence - of making his opinion felt in the decision-making. And I think that, in itself, leads to a good deal of political lethargy and stupidity. It is true that one has to think first and then to act -but it's also true that if one has no possibility of acting, one's thinking kind of becomes empty and stupid.

-- The Mike Wallace Interview: Erich Fromm (1958-05-25) [ http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/multimedia/video/2008/wallace/from... / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTu0qJG0NfU ]

If you bind two fingers together, nerves and muscles that can make no difference anymore (because of external constraints) become numb or even die off. This is trivially true, it's not surprising in the least. Few people deny it because they lack the inherent capacity to understand it, but because they themselves are bound in some way, too.

Compare the fact that your comment is greyed out, even though it's perfectly polite and coherent, with the discussion in the video above. It's gotten much worse, much more uptight and cowardly.
I wonder if a time will come when the US will extradite the CEO of a hosting company for failing to filter content to the satisfaction of the proposed EU copyright law.
My guess — the kind of thought you need to “grok” that system (slow deep understanding) is unavailable to you when dealing with the kind of thought caused by your situational stressors (fight or flight survival).

Doesn’t mean you’re unable to learn new things. It means your cave-man brain doesn’t think learning system docs is as important as slaying predators and fortifying your cave.

Ironic, since the way out of the stressors is doing the one thing your brain doesn’t think will help. You have to get your subconscious to believe that. Tell it to yourself constantly, Thoreau prayer and ‘this too shall pass’ style, ‘meditate’ on the idea that you have a clear path to no stress because you have a developer’s mind, and by using that developer’s mind, you will slay the predators, fortify the cave, and protect your family.

Give yourself the permission to let the urgent stress go, so your subconscious can work on the important thoughts.
I'd be curious if you interviewed at the company I work for (DraftKings) or not yet. If you have, I'd be interested in any feedback you had on our process, and if you haven't, I'd be interested in why you hadn't considered the company. Either way, it's worth getting in touch.

Yep, I didnt a stint in one of samsung's global escalation centers and all the reps always rooted for people to threaten shit like this. Once you go legal there's no going back and Im no longer allowed to talk to you, only corporate counsel.

We all knew that 95% of all legal mumbo jumbo threats where all bark and no bite, and the other 10% was someone else's problem. So threaten away and know that you're making reps days.

>The boss does deserved share, since he/she took a risk in spending on equipment or other costs (including your wages).

The workers still create the profit. Surplus value after the equipment & supplies needed are paid for is under most circumstances never seen by the people who actually created the profit, the workers. The boss, the owner, deserves to be paid maybe at a higher rate than others, sure depending on your views (socialists would argue against this and advocate for democracy in the workplace with Co-Ops), but to take most or all of the profit when you didn't create it? That's quite immoral.
Or they could continue using the attacks that work.
Huh. Maybe I've just never seen the sign. Or maybe they don't have such signs in my sleepy little town. And then, there's the fact that I'm an old ~white guy, and everyone knows me. I mean, I have received mail with no street address. Just name, city, state and five-digit postal code :)

But here's the thing: Nobody except my ISP even knows that I use a VPN. Nobody knows that I'm interested in online privacy and security issues. Because I only get into that online, using VPNs and Tor.
It is true that you cannot evaluate a single probabilistic prediction as being right or wrong (so you cannot say that Nate Silver was either wrong or right in some example - he gave a probability, and that probability was either accurate or inaccurate, but in isolation that cannot be evaluated).

However, if a consistent process is used to generate a sequence of probabilistic predictions, the accuracy of the predictions generated by that process certainly can be evaluated.
You are correct.

Examples:

Tooth brush for personal use: Good.

Use said Tooth brush for cleaning someone's toilet to earn some money: bad.

Use your hands to dig your own hole: good.

Use your hands (a mean of production) to dig someone else a hole for money: bad.

It logically follows that public ownership of the means of production results in the ownership of our homes, bodies and ultimately, minds.

That is the intentional theory and actual practical implementation of communist ideology.

It ia very dangerous because it is cloaked in "helping the greater good" and anyone who dare show initiative and put their hands to work without getting a politician to sign off on it results with you and your family getting sent to "labor" and "education" camps.

Once again, not in theory... this happened several times in the 20th century resulting in over 100 million dead
Or just jumping from an older interface to a modern one. I'm a 30-year-old software developer and just had this experience with Google's "Material Design" on my new Android phone, took quite a while to figure out what did what.

It's been a week and I'm still discovering things by accident or having to look up online how to do things because it's all hidden away with no visual indicators. I've pretty much decided to shun the whole thing and make things look like what they are whenever I make UIs.
I don't really care how long you make your lines, as long as you put curly braces where they belong - on a line by themselves.
From the link you provided:

> This method of digital random number generation is unique in its approach to true random number generation in that it is implemented in the processor’s hardware

> The all-digital Entropy Source (ES), also known as a non-deterministic random bit generator (NRBG), provides a serial stream of entropic data in the form of zeroes and ones.

> The ES runs asynchronously on a self-timed circuit and uses thermal noise within the silicon to output a random stream of bits at the rate of 3 GHz

What on earth would classify as TRNG if not above?

Just fyi, checked, and NIST SP 800-90B defines NRBG as following:

> Non-deterministic Random Bit Generator (NRBG):

> An RBG that always has access to an entropy source and (when working properly) produces outputs that have full entropy (see SP 800-90C). Also called a true random bit (or number) generator (Contrast with a DRBG).
So where do you feel their competitive advantage lies right now, by the way?

You make it sound both like they do struggle lately but they have stuff lined up that cannot be competed with. Slightly confusing for me, could you elaborate?
I already opted out of tracking by blocking the vast majority of trackers. All that without clicking through a single warning or receiving a single email.

I have also opted out of Foursquare (and Facebook, and many other services of very dubious value) by not using it. The main obstacle that stops Foursquare from selling my location history is not having anything to sell.

If, on the other hand, that opting out requires clicking through a slew of warnings every time I visit a website, I'd rather see my browsing history sold to advertisers. Frankly, I'd like an EU_CITIZEN_WHO_DOES_NOT_CARE browser header to opt out of all these protections.

Pretty harsh I reckon.
If you're playing in the water and not looking for a tan, another option is a rash guard to minimize sunscreen use (just face and neck if you get a long sleeve). I lived in Hawaii for a number of years and found rash guards to be the best option for me personally. I would spend hours at a stretch in the water and sunscreen will wash off quicker than you might think.
I'm glad someone is going full Hari Seldon on this.
OCaml isn't without its warts (like any language), but I don't quite think you've nailed them.

For one, the different stdlibs are in fact highly compatible. Basic types (option, result, string, int, array, float) are all the same, so code using different stdlibs works together seamlessly most of the time.

Lwt and Async are a different story, and there is a real incompatibility problem there.

The syntax extension story is pretty clear and simple: PPX rules the roost, and the tools for building PPXs are quickly getting better and more unified. Reason is an interesting variant in the ecosystem, but its existence doesn't amount to a wart in my eyes. It's an alternative syntax that you can use interoperably with the rest of the OCaml ecosystem (and Dune makes that awfully easy.)
From the article:

"I am hopeful that the enlightened self-interest of the billionaire class will cause them to take the enlightened path toward finding a rethinking of work that honors the vast majority of fellow citizens and humans on which their country depends."

Eric Weinstein has easily disprove himself by simultaneously saying that "capitalism is a house of cards" and that capitalists will be good boys and place nice with others, share, hold hands and sing under the rainbows.

Hope from the state, hope from the capitalist. Neither are tasteful.

tl;dr expect much worse and do not expect charity from our benevolent masters, thanks
It's more than just the same word. It's the same word, used in the same ironic and mocking way.
Ask HN: How do I prove that a certain Gmail account does indeed belong to me?
I understand that this submission might not be one of the best for Hacker News, in terms of knowledge shared, but along with the gmail account I am talking about and two or three other websites/communities, HN has been one of the longest-living places I find myself at in those ~15 years that I have been online. So, trying to avoid unnecessary details, here's the story:

On Monday morning I signed in to my gmail account from a print shop in my hometown in order to access an email that was sent to me and print an attached document. I logged in from one of the shop's desktops, printed the document and then I tried to sign out from my account. However, I, at first, got a blank page and I had to reload it in order for the process to be completed.

Since then, I have been unable to log in to my account because of a wrong password and when I try "recover account" I can't prove that I am its real owner as I can't seem to recall the exact month that I created it, more than 10 years ago (2007)! However, if I was given the opportunity I would be able to give a very detailed description of the contents of this account in terms of emails received and sent, labels, folders, etc etc.

Now, apart from this gmail account being the centre of my control for all of my profile in different websites, forums, newsletters, etc, there are a couple of received emails in there that hold a very strong emotional value for me and I just can't get how such a thing can happen!
Then you have no problem, you can simply stop using all these services that give you the annoying GDPR popups, like you did with Foursquare. Problem solved.
To clarify, with affine types you can guarantee that a value is used at most once, while linear types enforce that a value is used exactly once. Rust has the must-use directive that can be used to approximate linear types but it has severe limitations.
They use a mix of satellite and ground radio (satellite to get the SOS out and a rough location, then radio to actually locate you)

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_locator_beacon

There are lots of types that work in different ways however. E.g. For marine use we use VHF radios with digital functionality. There's a big red 'distress' button that will transmit your vessel information and position to the coastguard. That's all done via radio, no satellites. (You then back it up with a very analogue mayday call)

It's real but it's slooooow. I mean yea, they do get much higher velocities but it takes a very long time( and thus are incapable of launching from a gravity well).

Did sandboxing factor into the equation? My understanding is lua scripts in redis aren't sandboxed, other than the (possibly?) restricted api. But one could limit heap with a custom allocator for example, and cpu cycles with a hook, if desired.

> This is a really uncharitable interpretation of what he did. It was specifically mentioned as a scripting language, and parsing command line arguments is frequently necessary for scripts.

Is it? Why should be beholden to assuming positive intent when the post is clearly being equally dismissive? This is a social contract and when it's broken, the rules change.

> He then compared the hello world examples for the two most popular command line argument libraries.

And quite frankly, the F# code seems much better than that nightmarishly overdense 5-kwarg soup that uses stringly typed kwargs that if you omit are sometimes valid.

The F# version shows how to do custom error handling and even hints at custom arg parsing, while the Python version is deliberately avoiding anything even remotely complex. It still ends up being an ugly pile of easy-to-typo kwarg code.

> You can disagree with him without twisting his argument around.

"He" can disagree after doing even a tiny bit of research, though. "This code is shorter," is also a fascile argument that any Pythonista will immediate dissmiss with smug harrumpus about readability and intuitiveness. It's a disingenuous argument, front to back.
Extradited for copying movies. What a joke.
Adding additional extractors is also trivial.

How long? For people with decent electrical service, you need the genset for at most several hours, maybe once or twice a year. Your UPS should handle ~30 minutes, which is enough for most interruptions. So your fuel supply needs to be stable on the order of decades. Is diesel stable on that scale? And sure, propane can leak. So you need to check every few months.
Why are there so many people assuming this was a malicious actor?

It was most likely some organiser just organising swag for the conference, who didn't think about the implications because they weren't aware of them.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity (well, ignorance in this case).

Why would the North Koreans go through the trouble of buying a bunch of fans on Aliexpress just to make some security people freak out?
You're correct, but stateless socialism is the goal. What you're describing is state capitalism.
What if they just made rules to prevent ISPs from blocking or throttling legal traffic or engaging in paid prioritization schemes?

That is what the 2015 regulations entailed.
All those NSFW labels. Maybe after all internet is made for pom.
Would that emulation be prioritizing shareholder returns over everything else (those profits have come at the expense of the environment and US worker pay and benefits)? As an American, I implore Europe to not make the same mistakes we have in the name of unbridled capitalism. Defend the quality of life you have that we foolishly relinquished.
When I want to download a video from a site I always think “it would be great if youtube-dl worked with this niche website, but I think it’s too specific”, then I try and it works, I’m always surprised.
Besides your shitty ESL whitepaper, can you actually explain HOW this is decentralized in the slightest?

Also why doesn't your token sale use your product? You specifically call out airdrops in the whitepaper. Even if its a paid airdrop, the issues you mentioned remain
That makes sense, but at the same time, I wonder if ISPs are hesitant or inhibited from upgrading key pieces of infrastructure equipment out of obligation to maintain these copying capabilities.
What happens when a group of people with no property decide to come and take yours and kill you and your family?

As a side note, in regards to your original point about beach front property, the paper you linked only recognizes property rights of property that has been homesteaded. So there would be no way of some rich person purchasing acres of land for their own private use (using the structure definition of homesteading).
Honestly, at this point I'm more worried about whether climate change is going to kill us all within the next ten years to care too much about any of that.
Twenty years ago I would have been surprised. :-)

The most useful part of youtube-dl is that it works with mpv, so you just pass a URL on the command line and MPV just plays the video in it.

I have two monitors, so I put a button on my Firefox toolbar to launch MPV with the current URL, and configured MPV to start fullscreen on the second monitor immediately and quit when done. It's made my video-watching experience on the web an order of magnitude better.
