Haha, my bad for not checking the time - I’d swear I read 20, but I’m also fairly certain no one edited and reposted the video in the intervening time :D

The irony was that the value proposition benefited people with hearing over those with limited or none.

I’m going to try and just list very simple issues with your “read the subtitles” vs my “write an article” desire:

* reading a subtitles is slower than reading block text, both due to implicit blocking that most people use while reading (vs explicit blocking of trained speed readers).
* reading is outright harder due to the text being on moving backgrounds (this is probably limiting your comfortable reading speed).
* the video is meant to be providing relevant examples, but this means you are forcing the reader to try and do two visually demanding tasks at once: reading the text, and watching the video, and by default the text is overlaid on top of the video. This also further contributes to the slower than normal reading speed.
* bandwidth: to read the subtitles I need to be watching, and therefore downloading, the video, and the audio. Also it means I’m downloading video content that I have literally no need for: the graphics that fill in the time between examples.

Note I’m not attacking the content, but rather than presentation of that content.
Commercial sex is pretty close to a chiropractor or therapeutic massage, both of which my employer provided healthcare covers (from a quick glance at the benefits page).

A Josephson junction doesn't even trap any single actual physical particle. It's just a standing wave of electrical current trapped in a bounded array of geometrically crafted slabs of superconductors and insulators. It's a phenomenon that arises from the construction of the device.

Unlike fundamental particles such as photons and electrons, there is nothing substantial about the state represented by the standing wave qubit trapped in a circuit operated by a Josephson junction device. Destroy the device (or nevermind that, just never place it in a dewar flask chilled to 4 degrees kelvin, to activate it) and the phenomenon doesn't even exist. So much for whether or not matter or energy can never be created nor destroyed.

To sit there and state that, on paper, this is the same thing as an individual electron emitted as beta decay is, well... fundamentally flawed.
The Glock, one of the most common pistols for law enforcement and military, has no safety catch.

Ask HN: Where has Cosmos DB fallen short? Is it gaining traction?
CosmosDB has a few really interesting features. It has 5 different consistency models, ranging from strong to eventual. It has an SQL, Graph, Mongo, KV, and Cassandra interface out of the box. It has scalable throughput, scalable storage, HA, cloud function triggers, cloud function stored procedures (within which are atomic transactions), and automatic indexing of any field.

Has anybody here committed to it? What have your experiences been? From what little fiddling I've done, it has been reasonably straightforward to use.
Thank you!

The skip button should take you to another random emoji. And maybe it did, but it was the same random emoji as before. I should probably add some code to don't let this happen.
My father has diabetes and I'm looking to create an app like this. Can you elaborate on your idea?
Exactly. But hey cool concept cars make for pretty pitchdecks. Technology will solve itself if you just throw money at it, right? Next up, we'll have startups whose main differentiation is designing the interiors of time machines.
I've had an ND only once in my life, and it was with a target rifle with a <1 lb trigger pointed downrange. It still scared the bejesus out of me.

No I didn't, that email was 7 days after the surgery, I had already left Singapore and was back in Bali by then. (My "not fit to fly" letter stated I was not fit 'before' having the surgery, once the plate was in and the swelling had resided I was OK)

To elaborate on this, the processor is guaranteed to function correctly at turbo speeds (while overclocking has no such guarantee) but Intel doesn't guarantee that turbo frequency will be reached all the time. The more intense your code, the lower frequency you get. Fortunately most server code is integer-only and has low IPC so it should hit 4.0 GHz.
I was mainly referring to the security of their systems, but I take your point.

I've been doing a poor man's version of this for home videos using 3 hard drives and rsync. It's easy to replace a drive and they are not likely to go out at the same time. But one thing that bugs me is that unless the drive fails hard (e.g. noticed by SMART or unable to read at all) how do I know the data on the drive is not corrupted without reading it? Are there best practices to continuously compare the replicas in the background? Does that impact durability of the drives?
I am not sure why you find this odd. This could be locality specific - I didn't tell you where exactly my walk was. Nor did I imply if I walked the same distance anywhere in Oakland - anywhere in all 78 sq mi in it - I would invite the same reactions. In fact I do believe its locality specific, because in my other visits, which were to some of the theatres, the Oracle arena etc, I did see Indians.

Also, not that it matters to my point, your quick Google search was for the Asian population - the Indian population is much lesser - you made me curious, so I Googled. Apparently 3.95% of the Asian population of Oakland is Indian - which actually comes to < 1%.
That's a serious tin-foil hat you got there.

I've thought a little about building cheating detection into the mechanics and lore of maybe an MMORPG by treating it like a forbidden dark art.

If a player is flagged for cheating, they could take on an "aura" in the game. Maybe different types of auras for different types of cheating or for the types of events that took place around the cheating. It could grow stronger with more flags or fade with time. Fine-grained detection of auras could be a sought-after perception skill.

The in-game community could decide how they want to treat different types of cheaters. You could see interesting things like self-segregation or vigilante organizations.

You still have to intervene a lot to block gold farming bots or whatever, but I think you can keep the vanilla players and most cheaters happy.
It definitely hasn't worked well for the Uyghurs and the Tibetans.
Disagree on every level:

1. It's not racist to criticize cultures (race = genetics)

2. It's important to criticize cultures, many of them are shitty (e.g. women can't vote, light skin people can't marry dark skin people)

3. Observing other cultures and finding patterns is the definition of sociology

4. If somebody told you sociology were racist, it'd be a real shame if you let your fear of being labeled stop you from learning.
That's the goal!

Quote from the "Phase_qubit" Wikipedia article:

"The zero voltage state describes one of the two distinct dynamic behaviors displayed by the phase particle, and corresponds to when the particle is trapped in one of the local minima in the washboard potential. [...] With the phase particle trapped in a minimum, it has zero average velocity and therefore zero average voltage. [...] The voltage state is the other dynamic behavior displayed by a Josephson junction, and corresponds to the phase particle free-running down the slope of the potential, with a non-zero average velocity and therefore non-zero voltage."

So, we're not even talking about actual fundamental subatomic particles anymore. We're talking about phase oscillations, and renaming that as if it were a "particle" because, hey, particle/wave duality, so why not?

Hand-wavey math permits us to equivocate that a current induced on a wire, by way of the transfer of many actual electrons across substrates, can serve to prove the premise of a "teleportation device" also.

See? If we play our game of three-card monte, change phase oscillations, wiggle our noses, and tilt our heads a little, it's all very obvious that faster-than-light information transfer can be generalized to fit in the same picture, because this tuning fork makes that tuning fork ring in harmony, but only when we choose to notice.

«The chances that you only have 16 good drives for a file is about (0.97^16 ∗ 0.03^4)∗20∗19∗18 = 0.3% Yet your customer has 100k files! The chance they can recover all their data is only (1-0.003)^100000... Which means every customer suffers data loss :-(»

Your math is completely wrong. In reality 92% of customers suffer no data loss.

The chance of a file having 4 failed drives (16 good drives) is: .03^4 = 0.00008100%

The chance of a file being irrecoverable is the chance of having 4 or more failed drives: .03^4 + .03^5 + .03^6 + ... = 0.00008351%

The chance of a file being recoverable is: 1 - .03^4 - .03^5 - .03^6 - ... = 99.99992151%

The chance of a customer's 100k files all being recoverable is: (1 - .03^4 - .03^5 - .03^6 - ...)^100000 = 92.0%

Therefore only 8% of customers encounter one or more 8MB file that is irrecoverable.
Nothing about what you wrote is harsh imo.

CEO of Intel, Brian Krzanich sold $24M of his Intel shares when he heard about Spectre, but before Intel made it public to stockholders.

You really really should! That was a fascinating read, thanks for sharing.
Well I guess my next machine has to be a PC running linux now. Been waiting to replace my aging MBP with this latest gen, but this is the the last straw for me. Charging such a premium and being too lazy (or thin-focused) that it can't meet it's base clock outside of a freezer is ridiculous.

I just wish I could run OSX in a VM. Linux as a primary desktop isn't quite there yet.
This is more or less how I've felt. There are so many high-risk behaviors which are perfectly legal, and when our right to take risks in those ways is challenged, there is generally backlash; but in the case of drugs we are legally prohibited from taking risks.

I like this perspective. Being seen as genuine thought leaders (as opposed to all the posers out there) is good for the brand.

Running a small press is a pretty cost-efficient way of doing this. To me, it's more like Intel's days of sponsoring high-school science fairs. It's low-key, long-horizon marketing that doesn't instantly lend itself to ROI calculations, but that can be a boon in a lot of ways both obvious and oblique.
When my brother was a little kid he had trouble learning to tie his shoes. He wanted to use velcro shoes, so he got them. Does he wear velcro shoes today? No! He learned to tie his shoes, even though it wasn't an intuitive process. Partly out of necessity, but also because tying knots is a generally useful skill (aside from attaching shoes to feet) and because learning new things is an important part of life.

If you stick to intuitive operations, you'll suffer a lack of perspective. You never expand your intuition. Better metaphors are those that more closely encapsulate the facts of the problem at hand, not those that more nicely fit human mental models. The human mental model is wrong by default. Aristotle's intuition about gravity was wrong, and a significant amount of damage would be done to force discussion of gravity to match what he found intuitive.

People can learn new notations. They do it every day. People can adapt to complex metaphors. But complex problems will never simplify themselves to fit human preconceptions and intuition.

If you're dealing with a set-like problem, then a set-based language is good. If you're dealing with an event-like problem, then an event-based language is good. Human intuition is not an important factor, save for our bias toward seeing a given problem as set-like or event-like. An arbitrary problem may be better modeled using another frame of mind. But you won't see that if you're requiring that problems be solved using 'intuitive' language.

Apple didn't advertise a minimum time guaranteed to sustain 2.9ghz with 100% load.

It's not much different than my iPhone shutting down after recording 4k60 video for 2 minutes in the hot summer sun at 110F degrees (in fact, that's actually more frustrating than this Macbook "issue" but there was no outrage for that).
I found SoftEther easy to install on a bargain VPS. Supposedly it has much better throughput than OpenVPN, but I am not certain that it has had enough scrutiny to insure that it as worthy of trust as OpenVPN. Since I don't really know anything about my bargain VPS provider either, I am not using it for great privacy, I just turned it on when I imagined there was suspicious throttling, which probably didn't exist anyway. (Getting the latest cable modem model from Comcast seemed to solve more of my latency issues than opening a VPN tunnel ever did.)

More specifically, it is L2TP over IPSec on MacOS and iOS devices.
> But noone needs a thin laptop. There's no advantage to it whatsoever.

I own an Air, and it's been my go to machine in university. Yes, the weight does a lot to help me just pick it up and grab it, but the thinness does help a ton too. Thin means that I can throw it in a bag and still fit textbooks, notebooks, hoodies, and whatever else inside. I've had bags packed fully and needed every inch of space. The Air does that.

It's not a huge market, and I think only the Air models should focus on it, but it does exist. A bigger but equally light laptop wouldn't make nearly the difference that the Air does in how it fits ends up being the smallest thing in many of my bags.

This idea is on my list for quite some time. It's simple and fun. I really don't know why I waited so long to build it.

I'm also planning to add some competitive features, like a leaderboard. But I liked your idea. A duel mode between two or more players sounds really fun!

And I agree it works really well with movies, but it's on the roadmap to expand to tv shows, games, books, bands, songs...
I still wish OpenFirmware caught on a bit more. Unfortunately it:

- was supported by Sun and IBM
- had "Open" in the name

which is a great way to ensure that Intel never uses it.
> The private plans you refer to are mainly either simply administrators (the government pays them to administer the benefits) or supplemental providers or both

No, they're much more than that.

> And their existence and popularity has more to do with their sponsorship by insurance funded politicians than anything else.

The programs are cheaper, provide better medical outcomes, and patients prefer them.

That doesn't mean they're perfect, but you have to bend over pretty far backwards to say that they're inferior and only popular because of "insurance-funded politicians".

> Dealing with these administrators isn't generally better or worse than dealing with the government directly. Exceptions exist, but that goes without saying.

It is monumentally easier to deal with private insurers than to deal with an Original Medicare plan.
I'll look at Triplebyte's blog. Another resource I didn't know about you've pointed me to.

>>Personally, I can assure you that it isn't a matter of disliking you. Honestly, if I didn't like you, I wouldn't have posted here at all. I like you and want to help you, just not under the terms that you outlined.

Well, my problem is not being able to determine if I should quit trying to become a programmer specifically because of lack of ability. If you can help me make that decision I welcome it. Probably would make more sense if we PMed about this though.

>>As for the part about the correlation between the role of IQ and satisfaction as a software engineer, I might be hearing you wrong. I think that you're saying that repetitively debating the same subject annoys you. Am I right, or are you saying that you find the particular topic of IQ annoying?

Both are true. I don't like repeat debates that go no where nor do I like the primarily ideologically based stances people have on IQ and natural ability in general.

What I was asking was in relation to you saying- "if having a discussion about IQ's value in software development is that annoying to you, I worry that this field would make you profoundly unhappy." So I don't know why I would be unhappy as a developer because I wouldn't want to argue with people about IQ. It almost seems like you're saying arguing about IQ is a necessary part of the job and one that must be enjoyable in order to find satisfaction as a programmer.
