I overcame my math illiteracy by reading How To Prove It. The book is so simple and narrow in scope and yet it gave me a feeling that ultimately no math is beyond my grasp, even the papers on arxiv. Now I would say my math skills are still rather low because I know how much is out there, but at least I am competent. At this point I wouldn't want to read books that avoid math for mathematical topics. Algorithms are mathematical, so it's silly to seek books for math illiterate. It's like looking to copypaste a large chunk of code without reading and understanding it while caring about code quality of your system, it just doesn't make sense. It is not a good decision.
It doesn't matter if it is faster until it starts throttling. i9 is intended for pros who need that CPU power for longer periods of time

What's the evidence for this? I'd love a faster multi-core processor, but only to accelerate tasks which complete in a relatively small amount of time already.
Wow, what in particular do you mean?
I agree. I’ve gotten my last four jobs via recruiters who contacted me on LinkedIn. I ignore any messages from recruiters who don’t work for local agencies.
The fact that it was not just a fatality but a remarkably gruesome one virtually guaranteed that no one would ever ride that ride again.
Part of the insanity here is that there were no engineers involved in the design of the slide. It was largely designed by a co-owner of the park who possessed "no technical of engineering skills."

This is a non-story. Uber drivers near me have cameras, not for twitch, but just to protect themselves against unruly/lying passengers.
Wouldn't that hurt men even more? If they spread legs there are privates and men tend to be sensitive when those are hit.

I used to love Blockbuster. But that love quickly faded with their business practices. Their policy of putting a hit against your credit report when you had a late charge on a movie was the first strike. Not a movie that you kept weeks and weeks on end at your house letting the charge pile up. Nope a two day late charge that you didn't pay because you just assumed that you would pay it the next time you rented a movie. There was a class action lawsuit against them about this very practice.

The second strike was about lost movies. My ex rented movies so we could watch them. That night I put them on the floor of the back seat of my car so I could head in to work at the club. I came back and someone had gotten into the car and took the movies. I reported to theft to blockbuster expecting to have to pay for the movies. They tried to charge me $200 for each movie. $600 total. I asked them where they nuts. I wasn't paying that. I told them I could get the same movies down the street from Walmart at $20 a piece and give them to you. They said fine, go ahead and do that. Why would you be that unreasonable in the first place and try to charge me that crazy amount.
Assange is a Russian agent. Snowden most likely as well. They both deserve execution & infamy, not praise.

This guy is a veteran?!! What a shame, that someone sworn to protect Americans now cowers behind semantics and loopholes to exploit their trust!! Clearly ridership dropped on notifying them of the streaming, no excuse can hide the truth here - he wants to exploit their trust!

For shame! And unlike the proud, honest veterans who actually care for Americans!

Edit: any lawyers here? Can this become a federal wiretapping case, as twitch streams across state lines? Like gambling online relies on meaningless semantics of being within a state that allows for such?
Well if we can say things we can say that any abstraction is magic until insiders are seen, the question is how much abstraction you are willing to take in order to feel comfortable.

I've seen several water slides where you go down it on your back, with your arms and legs crossed (or rather supposed to be crossed). I went down one like that in "water world" which used to be in Houston.

I don't remember the size, but at the end of the slide there is about 2-3 inches of standing water in the chute which I guess serves as the "water brake". I was wearing some long swimming shorts, but after hitting that water brake butt and feet first, once I stood up it looked like I was wearing a speedo since the blast of water going between my legs gave me the worlds largest wedgie.

Never rode a slide like that again. I used to stand at the end and laugh at the people getting off and having to pull their cloths out of their crotch as they walked off like penguins.
Translation: you can speak freely, as long as you aren't heard.

Assange and bullshitting, wouldn't be the first time... he said he had info that was going to bring down big US banks for a while... didn't do anything.

But let's say he had some such files, release them and he has nothing.
I still use NetNewsWire 3.1.7. It's still the best RSS reader I've ever used. It has become more crashy as the OS updates come though, presumably as Apple keeps breaking its APIs.
The optimization argument is that even after throttling, if the software was optimized for the 6core machines it would no longer be slower than the i7 after one minute.

But that's yet to be seen. As of this moment in time you're correct.. buying the i9 model makes zero sense.

I read that too... I just don't believe it. That seems ridiculous to me. Would they have to hire an army of handymen to do the construction? It looks way too large and involved for that. Does the state really allow construction of something this large and involved without any engineers signing off?

If this is true, I don't think I may ever let my child into a water park. Is this true of traditional amusement parks as well, I wonder?
I think Ecuador was happy to host Assange for a while but genuinely found Assange's from of activism (just picking a phrase there, call it what you'd like) less tolerable as it went on.

That won’t work, because safe rust optimizes around rules unsafe is expected to uphold. Even a “straightforward translation” of the unsafe could still easily break invariants safe code expects.

All this stuff is why we’re working so hard on formalizing unsafe! Your parent is right that it’s a bit fuzzy right now, but in the future, we hope that it’ll be way nicer than other unsafe languages. There’s some tooling ideas...
It means that it is considered a sign of shoddy design. Granted it is technically a matter of opinion of if having a screen flanking the camera or giving its own space above or below is better but there have been complaints about comparability being broken.

Like complaining about a release crashing as breaking the build being unprofessional - while testing is a role internally it should compile and run at least beforehand.

Meanwhile 'Samsung Galaxy Note 7 catches fire' is objectively bad since a phone should never catch fire on its own unless perhaps it includes a self destruct feature (which needless to say would be very niche to be approved for sale).
My company-supplied Dell Latitude 7480, running Debian stable with its stock
kernel:

> - M2 SSD requires changing some BIOS preferences to work on Linux

No BIOS fiddling, except for disabling Thunderbolt security for docking
station to work (external monitor, network card, USB ports including
keyboard, second sound card (though no volume control here)). But this is
because Linux kernel doesn't support it yet.

Or maybe I did change its "RAID" to something that's not a lie, I don't really
remember.

Quiet most of the time.

I don't believe you can legally prevent that. There may be some clause about total ownership of work, but I'm not sure that's been tried before.
> But distribution is the easy part on the internet. It’s aggregating attention that is the hard part.

ATM for video the content hosting, distribution, discovery, indexing, consumption, and commenting are all centralized. Let's say PeerTube brings the video world inline with podcasts and knocks that list down to just discovery and content indexing. That would be a really big win. That would be way more decentralized than what we have now.

If you're right, and solving all of those problems are the easy part, then PeerTube will probably be an incredible improvement to the video ecosystem.

Podcsts may not be perfectly decentralized, but they're pretty stinking close. Services like iTunes are basically card catalogues at this point. The podcast app I use doesn't even include iTunes ratings, reviews, or suggestions, so they've obviously made the decision that these aren't features their users care about.

My experience with podcasts is I get recommendations in a decentralized manner from friends, family, social media, and online articles. Then I go to one of several centralized card catalogues and search for the podcast by the name. Then I add the decentralized source to any podcast app (all of which work with every podcast regardless of who developed them) and use RSS to download a file to my physical device, which makes it easy for me to back up or mirror the file to other devices if the source ever goes down in the future.

If 99% of my experience is decentralized, does the centralized 1% that basically boils down to a list of urls and a regex expression override that? Especially keeping in mind that nearly every podcast app still provides a mechanism for you to bypass that list whenever you want, and any good podcast app allows you to search for a podcast across multiple preloaded sources at the same time?

Hey, now I've got downvotes too! My opinion is unpopular, and it was just questioning why other people downvoted you, so I retract my previous guess, as it was clearly wrong. It turns out people just don't like things they disagree with What can ya do? :)

My comment mostly reflects how interesting I find it that people can justify anything they like based on their previous beliefs, cherry-picking facts that suit what they'd prefer to believe.

I am guilty of this too, we all are. I try to attack my own beliefs by reading and attempting to understand other points of view, but I'm not super-human, I have blind spots.

One thing I'm somewhat good at is seeing how language can frame things in such a way to make the counter-argument more difficult. Its all about perception, because language is so imprecise.

For example, You said

>...Wikileaks was part of Russias plan to influence US politics

That is likely true! But your point could be taken to mean that Wikileaks was complicit in this plan. It could be taken to mean a whole lot of things, and while we're debating the veracity of those things we don't even get to debate on other things, such as the content of the leaks, and about the US government's persistent attack on whistleblowers.

Indeed, it frames the mind in such a way as to ponder whether the US's desire to prosecute Assange is proper given the circumstances.

Do you see what I'm trying to say? I may be pretty good at picking up on the nuances of speech but I'm piss poor at explaing myself.
The collapse of the Soviet Union is normal if you think of Russia as the world's last empire. For one reason or another, all the other empires have decided that it's more profitable for them to dominate by trading instead of conquering. Russia, on the other hand, can't do that so it still clings to the old ways of controlling its territories and neighbors.

As soon as they give that policy up, the empire will resume its disintegration. Most Russians believe it's a bad thing, hence their acquiescence of the neo-fascist regime that's gradually establishing itself in the country.
Well yes, obviously, they would question him and then determine whether or not to charge him. The point is that they couldn't charge him without first arresting him.

I do not agree with streaming but there are a LOT of uber and lyft drivers that now use cameras which record the interior of the car. If you pick up a lot of drunk people inevitably a bunch of them are going to be assholes, pick fights, claim sexual harassment when there was none, vomit in the back of the car and then deny the cleaning charge, etc. I do not envy the "dealing with the random public" part that full time uber/lyft drivers have to handle.
"Instead of using fundamental mathematical and physics calculations to design and build the ride, the two men had “rushed forward relying almost entirely on crude trial-and-error methods.” And although they realized that their finished product “guaranteed that rafts would occasionally go airborne in a manner that could severely injure or kill the occupants,” they went ahead and opened the ride anyway."

Yep. All you have to do is look at the thing and apply some basic mechanical principles (like conservation of energy) to know that you're rolling the dice. Just a little less friction to dissipate energy on the way to the top of the second hill and -- whee! -- you're airborne.
Is that really the problem? Everybody endlessly talks about how Netflix has failed to crack the recommendation nut for something like ten years now. Maybe a smaller, more curated selection will make a comeback, as the pendulum swings away from infinite selection (of mostly garbage).
Right. Literally-literally as opposed to figuratively-literally :)
Indeed, they probably caught his head and then quite naturally, ripped it off. It seems almost common sense to use something smoother and softer, but as the saying goes, "common sense isn't common".

You probably have a herculean challenge ahead with the Nvidia / CUDA stuff. A couple years ago I got an R stack up and going on OpenBSD, and that took some deep dives to get all my packages working. It was rewarding and worked well, but it wasn’t something I’d do under deadline.

NVidia on the other hand seems like a far harder problem than needing to patch some C code here and there. NVidia make the drivers that they make. AMD has been more open source friendly these days, which is good if you want 3D graphics, but doesn’t solve the CUDA issue.
I have unmitigated disgust for every single person with approval power over the production of that show. Every single one of them is either an idiot or conman. There is no middle ground.

Gargac’s videos fit into the newer “IRL,” or “In Real Life,” section that encourages users to stream their life outside of games.

Gargac says he’s earned about $3,500 off Twitch users so far, including subscriptions, donations and tips called “bits.” That’s on top of about $150 to $300 he earns from fares on an average night. He typically drives on weekend nights because, he says, the bar crowd makes for the most entertaining rides.

So, the Gig Economy, where so many workers are underpaid and have no benefits, etc, mated with the Internet version of Reality TV and this is their bastard child.

I find it disturbing, but I think the conversation here should really be about "What can the average person realistically do who doesn't want to be a wage slave anymore?" I mean, if we want people to not whore out their passengers' lives in a grotesque modern version of Candid Camera for cash, maybe we should, like, create jobs with adequate pay and benefits.

Bizarre concept, I know, that treating all your citizens like they deserve a living wage, medical care and basic, decent housing might promote ethical behavior. But I'm putting it out there anyway.
Liz Parrish Wants to Live Forever
Give it another 25 years; I'm sure we'll see genetically engineered plagues used by ethnostates (find some mutation that a large portion of your population has that your opponents do not & make that confer resistance) or as an instrument of genocide (the same thing but in reverse) by then.

Or if you're willing to plan ahead a little more... Develop the plague and the vaccine a decade or more before use, and spend the intervening decade adding it to childhood vaccines and seasonal flu shots. When it comes time for use, have the remainder of your population vaccinated.

I may be a pessimist, but I'd guess that "biological warfare is ineffective in achieving the aims of nation-states" won't be a thing forever.
But is that a cause or effect of NetBSD not supporting USB3?
If you control the machines, then it's actually pretty easy - you simply alter the votes of people who actually voted. There's no paper receipt or general mechanism for voters to verify they voted how they think they did. And it's absent for a good reason, which is that a nonrepudiatable vote receipt opens elections to coercion. A malicious machine could use a registration database (available to campaigns) to target elderly or otherwise likely tech unsavvy voters - people, who even if they found out their vote was altered, would probably have their complaints dismissed as user error like butterfly ballots in 2000.

If your manipulation is spread across counties, and flips what would have already been a close election, it would almost certainly be undetected. Even if it was detected, the winning party (who doesn't even have to be in on the con) will defend the result. And without ironclad evidence of malfeasance, courts will be hesitant to give the appearance of overturning an election result.

It's critical that we have real security in our elections.
Correct. Most popular libraries have them, though. Even if they aren't TS.

Speeds up development a lot when you have them, though!
> Weaponized smallpox almost certainly exists.

Yep, when they shipped us off to the Middle East in '03 they gave us the smallpox vaccination even if you had it as a kid because, well, WMDs.

Don't think I had it as a kid since I was born in '71 and that's around the time they were phasing it out -- or at least didn't have the vaccination scar before '03.
My theory for this is simply maturity and age. John Young is now quite old (and was indeed of advanced age in 2005). I don't think he cares about going to cocktail parties, being known in rarefied social circles, getting laid by groupies, speaking to major news media outlets, or all of the other things that Assange engaged in before the assault allegations against him surfaced. He certainly never seems to have cared about puffing up his own ego.

John Young is a retired architect who lives a very quiet, non-public life and seems to have always wanted to keep it that way.
Ask HN: What was your TC when you begin your startup?
TC = total compensation. Do you pay your employees more? I was thinking if I have to choose between 150k and 100k, I'd take 100k, get extra hands, and reward employees with better tc to show them I actually care about them, and I am okay starving myself so they get fair pay.
I'm definitely not saying Obama was an ally of whistleblowers. It seems like he was just mostly average in this realm. I mean, 8 is still more than 3, but again, that might not be his fault, whistleblowing might have just more than doubled. Hard to tell.
I'm not a veteran, but I did take the oath of office. To me, the oath that I swore to uphold is to defend American government institutions (and particularly the agency I worked for) against foreign and domestic enemies. My oath doesn't mean I have any special commitments to individual American citizens acting in an individual capacity.
