Funny way to blame Google for Spectre ...

I don't see what else Google could do (like leaving the holes in place) without open themselves up to liability. Maybe a chrome flag where users could turn off Spectre protection?

I'm with Google on this one.
I understand that had more to do with their "Unladen Swallow"[0] work being rejected than anything related to the transition to Python3.

Since Google couldn't convince folks to let them make Python faster, they created a NEW language instead.

It’s also been much wetter there during the spring. Been a problem for the local bee populations.
There are many situations in life where one does something that is "optimal" but factors beyond their control cause it to be unsuccessful. Being clear-eyed and able to distinguish between luck and non-optimal strategy is an important part of improving as a person.

There are times that changing the original strategy/task/behavior is not the optimal thing to do, but your "no luck" world view does not allow for that possibility.
>Many corporations formed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries... They structured their companies to make sure the business would provide good service at a reasonable price – not to maximize investment returns.

>Somebody tell the robber barrons this? They apparently didn't get the message.

Your ellipses left off the qualifiers. The author isn't talking about all companies. They are specifically talking about companies that were founded in part to provide services for investors as opposed to just return on investment--companies where people invested because they wanted the company to exist so that they could be customers. There's even a citation for this in the foot notes.
Dichotomous thinking is discussed in terms of high standards, with the danger of perfectionism.

But generally: reality is grey; actions are not.

If you see reality as it really is, it is harder to make decisions, and to commit to them.

A quality of leadership is the ability to make decisions quickly. If they are the right decisions, so much the better... (LN)
"Believing luck is not real pretty much immediately activates the just world hypothesis."

This doesn't follow, and the article adnzzzzZ linked explains how it doesn't follow. In particular, if you divide the concept of truth up into "objective truth" and "pragmatic truth" as the article suggests, you can believe the just-world hypothesis is false on an objective level while still believing that you should ignore luck on a pragmatic level, because it - by definition - holds no bearing on what you can control.
The same issue applies if the person inside is unconscious or otherwise unable to help.
Perhaps due to the slowdowns induced by the meltdown/specter mitigations.

Nuts seem to be a common protein source for vegetarian/vegan diets and recipes.

That could be a problem for employees who are allergic to nuts.
I saw a study a couple years back remarking on how job applicants without french last names would have far fewer call backs.
Even unlined trenches do this, because the underlying soil holds less moisture than to topsoil. Dig a trench, wait a long time, and smooth it out and you’ll end up with an area where the trench was with better soil.
After some searching online, I wasn't able to come up with anything for Pope's Common Lisp music tools.

But it sounds really interesting.

Any pointers to help find it/them?

Fish is far from being environmentally "okay".
> This is also something that lends itself to regulation.

That may be the case in many countries, but in the US, the idea of restricting political speech is nearly universally prohibited. Looking at the history of related Supreme Court cases, I sincerely doubt a law like that would stand.
Seeing that not only does MacOS use CUPS but that Apple owns the source code to CUPS, I think that a security vulnerability in it may be a big deal.
Funfact: key evidence for the theory of tectonic plates was the changing magnetic field direction in rocks with distance from their magma source.

Always seemed like one fantastical theory being supported by another fantastical theory. (Don't worry, I'm not a tectonic skeptic.)
Maybe you could see them as in memory files. Or buffers of files.
Yup. Prop 13. NIMBYism. Bad mix. Consider NYC's similarities and differences to SF: finance instead of tech (but also tech now too), no prop 13, got too big for NIMBYism before NIMBYism was a thing, but NYC also has had bad housing policy (rent control, rent stabilization, and who knows what other bad ideas). Bad ideas lead to bad outcomes.

Be cheered, there are a lot of great 13" devices that are at least as good as the Air for every category you list with the addition of price.

Most people ignore Chromebooks as direct comparisons, but many are just as tough, have similarly crummy/capable internals, cost a pittance, are as unupgradeable, and run Linux like champs. They're the platonic ideal of single function computing.

The 13" Acer I bought in 2012 had a 1080 display, could output over HDMI at 2160p, and played video for at least 8 hours on a full charge. Cost maybe $250 and had a very sturdy case that didn't bend or break when dropped. Not that shabby.

I believe the parent is suggesting that the two rooms adjoining the bathroom would be mutually accessible when they shouldn't be.
What is your measure of "good"? Are you putting the people before the system, or the system before the people?
There's plenty of content available for "free." There's also plenty of music available for free by musicians who play or donate. There's an assumption in your comment that all content requires some sort of compensation and I don't think that's true, and certainly not necessary for a strong society.

I think this may influence your other assumption that it's unethical to freely consume content. The article author uses the example of walking through a city and refusing to look at billboards, but still taking in the view of beautiful architecture. Do you abandon ethics to view architecture?

Imagine if the business models of all the businesses in those buildings depended on you looking at the ads. Would you abandon ethics to walk down the street?

I think there are some people who are ambivalent if every record label and movie studio shuts down. I don't really care as there is lots of art that is created by people who like giving it away for free. Ever since the start of the net, I've structured my livelihood to specifically avoid being in the business of extracting income from IP. So I think I'm pretty well hedged against people going against their behavior to pay for my IP.

I think reporters can be compensated in much better ways than ads, and I actually think that journalism will be better off if not ad supported. Part of the problem we have now is because ads and truth aren't really aligned with the same incentives so I see lots of news sites going more toward ads.
Thank you, have searched for things like Standard Notes before but without success. That is why I participate in HN, many times it works better than a search engine, you just need to wait for the right topic to appear in the first page.

Indeed, one of the most important points is the Q&A in the FAQ: "Has Standard Notes completed a third-party security audit?" (Spoiler: yes, it did).
Ask HN: Who Owns Your Photos on Foursquare?
Foursquare Terms state they may use the photos uploaded without permission in advertising material and may alter the images without consent. Does that mean the images uploaded are still mine?
Somewhat interesting, but this really comes off as a Luddite attempting to explain smart speakers to people who’ve never heard of them.

He’s not ready to talk to a plastic puck? His friend ‘taught’ her echo to play ambient music? Honestly this sounds like it should have been written in 2015.
I have trouble seeing how it could be placed along the wall while maintaining the necessary tension.
I too am thinking of going this route so as to reduce dependencies on custom software for something as important as note taking. However, how do you handle images in such a system? For instance, I sometimes take pictures of a whiteboard discussion and paste them as is in One Note - how do I do the same with plaintext files?

These flips happen quickly on a geologic timescale but are not quick on a human timescale. It takes around 1-10 thousand years for the field to flip. The last one happened around 780k years ago. More often the magnetic field gets quite weak for awhile, like the field is going to flip, but then the magnetic field returns to the same strength and direction. These are called excursions and the last one of these was likely the Laschamp excursion about 40k years ago.

Why the downvote? Is this not correct?
You can change the resolution of the judgment process to better model the grayness of life. You can also wield and employ multiple models, intentionally, to gain a similar outcome. Actions that follow this modeling and detecting can then be _refined actions_, which is to say that they elegantly fit a higher-resolution model of reality.

A quality of leadership is refinement, which allows for decisions that e.g. unite people of varying backgrounds through a higher-resolution process which, while still dichotomous in some ways, is much smarter about it. In using elegant models one's reaction time is shortened while also bringing to bear a great deal of leverage.
Are those not addressing states of disease?
..meta, and just enough so I am not totally sure I got the joke, or that it even was a joke.

There was also a serious side to my question though, that we all have flaws in our reasoning, even in the reasoning we use to question our reasoning. Using heuristics to judge, just never turns out right all the time.
The reason I use an ad blocker is not to see intrusive ads. I've whitelisted a site and told Safari to immediate go in reader view mode for the site. It's a decent compromise.

In this case I'm referring to images I took with my own personal camera, without formal training, and uploaded to my own personal 4sq account.

3D Printing Technology and Working
The main difference is the low speed of threads (100 slower context switches) and the problems of parallelism: deadlocks, races.

Thats why you use threads for CPU bound tasks, and coros for IO bound tasks. With IO you don't need much CPU, you mostly wait. Coros provide fast switching back and forth until your IO is ready.
Software engineers use "dev tools" because they develop software. But also because it's less awkward to pronounce than "eng tools."

I like a non-hoity-toity attitude towards what constitutes engineering so I say go for engineering if it has a better ring.
EGPUs sounds great on paper. A graphics card that I can use easily with either my macbook or windows desktop. I really think that could be an exciting way to prolong the life of old hardware or to get decent gaming performance out of non-gaming hardware.

At the moment, unless you're Windows only, the reality is a bit rougher. Although there are some pretty compelling enclosures out there (Node Pro, Mantiz Venus, Sonnet Breakaway), with Apple not supporting Nvidia (the only GPUs worth getting at the top-end) it's probably not worth it. Sure you can get it working with some hacks, but I personally wouldn't want to spend that much money to be reliant on 3rd party scripts.

Eventually the picture may change, AMD might release a competitive GPU, or the support on MacOS might open up. As soon as the software support is there I think this becomes a really compelling idea and it'll only become more so as the years go by and thunderbolt 3 becomes more widespread.
You can do that with two locks too, but one is simpler.

Also, there is a failure mode here. Can you think of it?

I thank Lady Luck that I live in a country with a single-payer system, and health insurance for 'extras'.

Some years back I found I required an urgent triple-bypass following a routine cardiac angiogram. 14 days later I had the triple bypass followed by 2 days in intensive-care. Cost: NIL.

I then had 5 days post-op in a one-bed private room. That was followed by six weekly Cardiac Rehab sessions. Both of these were covered by my health insurance. Out-of-pocket: NIL

While for the most part I agreed with strncat, the way he handled things was extremely poor. Especially the part where he deleted the signing keys. This isn't the first time he's done a "drama flameout" from a project, either. Most importantly, he has made public complaints about people using his work for free.

Frankly, he won't ever be in my web of trust. I'm not going to trust my critical infrastructure to him.

LinkedIn and Facebook Writing Text Backwards
On the Web both of these tools are fairly heavy on JavaScript. Both of them started writing text I entered backwards as I typed it, rendering then unusable. This has never happened with any other software I've used. Any ideas what could be happening?
I have two folders: notes/ and uploads/. I've been uploading any attachments (images, PDFs, etc) to uploads/ with a timestamped name (ex. "2018-07-15_interesting_document.pdf") and linking them from the associated note.

At first this was pretty annoying, but then I wrote a couple scripts to automate the upload + naming process. Now it's as simple as running the script and getting the Markdown reference copied to your clipboard (ex. "![Interesting Image](../uploads/2018-07-15_interesting_image.jpg)").
Workflowy is great for quick, structured, hierarchical note taking. It is basically a text only bulleted list of lists. Navigable by keyboard or mouse and syncs to whatever phone / desktop etc you have.

Too expensive by half, and I don't think it is client side encrypted which is a deal breaker for anything sensitive. I really enjoy the simplicity though, great for checklists, writing papers, and all those little rare but important non-calendar based lists, ie. books to read, music to buy, etc.

My ideal note-app would be like workflowy, but allow de-hierarch-ising the list mentality. I mean, workflowy is basically a database back end and I can link tags between lists. But why not just have all the tags separate in the first place? You could have the constructed hierarchy tree to the left (ie bullet list), and the links tree to the right so you can see how the entries both compose and decompose.
This is why regulation is necessary for capitalistic organizations to have a net positive effect on society. Companies are fantastic at maximizing profits (through productivity and efficiency), but that's far too simplistic a goal to not become destructive at some point.

Regulation by the government - the representative of the actual society, instead of just a handful of shareholders - channels the raw energy of capitalism towards the good of society through incentives and penalties (against companies' profits, their sole motivators). Otherwise corporations are just a bunch of really big dogs chasing cars, leaving destruction in their wake.

If on the Mac ecosystem, Bear is Apple notes but with fewer sync bugs and more useful features (like a close cousin of markdown and amazing tagging). I've switched to that for notes that might stick around for a while (from Evernote and Apple notes, though I still forward emails into the former as a convenient archive). For transient notes (like shopping lists etc.) I just use drafts on iOS. Seems to work for me after years of frustration with Evernote and Apple notes.

I feel like every month I see another article about calculating bezier curves. Are there _that_ many people who are interested in reading about bezier curves?
The security proof for SNARKs requires constant-depth compliance predicates, otherwise the proof doesn’t follow because the extractor size could blow up. I would have to read the coda whitepaper to see what their assumptions are for their security proof. I was just curious whether the equivalent of a birthday attack would be possible for some state transition if the depth was increased, since I’m not aware of a formal proof of soundness (and I heard in passing that recursion depth would affect security properties of nested snarks, but hearsay!)
It’s really sad that our government is so dysfunctional that they can’t do anything to help. It’s pure laziness, dysfunction and mismanagement as to why when you call the FBI and they brush you off. What good are they?

I've seen a similar solution in the swimming pool changing cubicles at a Center Parcs in the UK. The cubicles have two inwards opening doors opposite one another. Once inside, you close both doors and fold down a bench which blocks the doors shut and gives you somewhere to sit. Very clever solution.

I speak of the highest tax brackets because my parent was implying that tax rates were not high enough - which is in reference to the people whose taxes should be raised.

I don't think the suggestion was that lower income brackets should bear that burden.

Therefore it only makes sense to discuss the highest brackets.

For quick notes about things I might want to search for later (e.g. books to consider buying): Notational Acceleration (Android clone of Notational Velocity), and nvpy (python GUI app, cross platform), synced to Simplenote.

I tried Dynalist (workflowy clone) and like it, but somehow I stopped using it after using it regularly for a month or so. Not sure it's the product's fault, though.
My HomePods + Apple Music are extraordinary. “Hey Siri, play Delta Blues.” Bam. Play music I would like. Bam. Play Kind of Blue in the Living Room, play the Harry Potter Soundtrack in the kid’s room. Bam.

HomePod and Siri may not order pizza yet, but it does what it does incredibly well. I even replaced a sound bar for the TV with a stereo pair with a minimal footprint. There was a lot of lamenting Apple Music’s not being Spotify, but now, it’s pretty clear that in my house, Spotify fails to compare — especially when you use Apple Music with CarPlay. The next five years is going to be really fun I think!
I always have a small problem with trying to define art, and relate it to science. It never seems to go well.

This is completely subjective but I actually prefer smaller cups when I casually drink coffee. I like a heavier cup if I'm taking it in the car (probably shouldn't do that but hey, I'm not perfect) or if I need a large amount of coffee for studying or the like.
