Obama wasn't arguing for anything, he was just explaining the politics of why single payer would be difficult to get through Congress. (For better or worse, Obama was famously disconnected from writing "Obamacare" and left it to Congress.) As an explanation of the politics, Obama's quote—"That represents one million, two million, three million jobs"—is exactly right. Sen. Lieberman (Ind, Connecticut) killed the public option, allegedly because of the importance of the insurance industry to Connecticut.
The Earliest HTML Document on the World Wide Web, Written by Tim Berners-Lee
Emoji are less abstract than words. That is to say, the shape of a word is less connected to the thing it depicts. It barely changes the perceived meaning of the word "face" if it's depicted in Arial or Times New Roman, but it makes a big difference to the perceived meaning of a hypothetical "face" emoji whether that face is smiling or frowning in different fonts.

When you have a concrete depiction of something, you are forced to provide details. The problem is that users cannot tell what details are standard and which are only in their font. Hence more guidance is needed for creators of emoji to ensure important, necessary details are consistent.

Scott McCloud discusses iconography and the differences between how words and pictures convey ideas in "Understanding Comics". I don't think he has a perfect model, but his Big Triangle is a pretty good starting point for a discussion. http://scottmccloud.com/4-inventions/triangle/index.html

The further you go left in that triangle, the more guidance is required to ensure that all implementations are depicting the same thing.

Accessing all of the hardware simultaneously from both systems without conflicts would prove to be a big challenge (there is more than just CPU and RAM on a box). Effectively you'd have to implement a complex mechanism or resource sharing and a way to manage it. Such a thing already exists: it is called a hypervisor.

The mere whiff of them siding against a buyer would drive buyers away, destroying the platform. On the other hand, it’s evidently impossible to drive sellers away, no matter how badly they treat them. eBay could require sellers to undergo full body cavity searches and daily beatings and sellers would still sell there.
Ask HN: Software eng, but not a web dev. Learn new frameworks to build MVP?
Hi, hackers!

I'm building Future Proof, a community platform for scientists, enthusiasts, hobbyists and geeks to share cool projects, people and ideas in the fields of sci-fi and deep tech!

I've always felt that comic book geeks, DIY hackers and serious academics were overlapping domains, but there was never a platform for all these folks to fantasize and dream freely about tricorders and warp drives. I'm looking to build a Reddit/HN/IH style platform (as a start) to engage these communities together.

An ideal interaction would be:

A team of hobbyists get together to build something straight out of sci-fi (an ion thruster, for instance). They post their team and idea on this platform, and experts jump in to offer suggestions, funding, expertise, etc. Obviously community support is more than just experts and money, but you get the idea.

I have a newsletter going, with about 40 friends and colleagues. I'm beginning to bring in enthusiasts, engineers, academics, VCs, founders and other folks from my network so I can get some quality feedback. This, in a sense, is my pre-MVP. Latest email here: https://mailchi.mp/78dbc473dd84/sci-fi-hunt-twice-weekly-newsletter-122953

I'm currently scoping and designing Future Proof. I intend to build it within the month so I can get some fast validation. I have experience with Python, C++ and minimal with HTML/CSS/JS.

My options appear to be:
1. Phone a friend
2. Rails
2. Django
3. Non-code platform (Bubble, WP)

My question is: What would you do in my situation?

Thanks, and happy hacking folks!

It increases security against ISP surveillance, local attacks (DNS poisoning, man in the middle) performed by adversaries on your local network, hostile access points and other public honey pot attacks, and general eavesdropping anywhere between you and the VPN provider. It also helps combat network non-neutrality by making it hard for your ISP to throttle or selectively prioritize traffic.

Regular privacy VPNs will not protect you against adversaries beyond the VPN in the network path, nor will they protect your anonymity against highly sophisticated or nation state level attackers with the capacity to either surveil the network broadly or just subpoena the VPN provider.
Would it affect your opinion if the light emitted was noticed first by another project, who then told the gravitational wave people about it, at which point they found data their algorithms had previously rejected as noise and changed the classification to be a signal?
I find the notion that we have enough information to even guess at where life is let alone that we can assume there is none downright laughable to the point of obscenity.

> Ms. Whitman got in a few public tussles with the “community,” as eBay’s buyers and sellers are known. One came when she made an arrangement with Disney to give it special status on the site — its own Disney Auctions page. That violated Mr. Omidyar’s founding principle that eBay would be a global platform to which any buyer or seller could come as an equal.

I hypothesize that the departure from this treatment of buyers and sellers as equals has eroded their uniquenes and therefore that part of its value.

Presumably there's plenty of competition in both the buyer-first and seller-first e-commerce spaces.
related -- this is an interesting read on sub-cultures and how (in the author's opinion) they are co-opted over time: https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths

excerpt:

Subcultures were the main creative cultural force from roughly 1975 to 2000, when they stopped working. Why?

One reason—among several—is that as soon as subcultures start getting really interesting, they get invaded by muggles, who ruin them. Subcultures have a predictable lifecycle, in which popularity causes death.

"I never received the item"

Then file a refund request. Ebay will eventually refund it if the seller can't provide a tracking.

You can also spin it any number of other ways like if you get the item and the seller requests you to return the item then you just ship back a broken version.

Tesla customers are laying out $70k for a car that they will personally drive.

SpaceX customers are laying out $50-80M to put a $100-200M piece of hardware into orbit.

It's the latter we're talking about in this thread.
Looks to me like he laid it out pretty clearly.
And yet, at the hardware store, you by two-by-four, and if someone suggested that that should be called a duke-size instead, you would think they were off their rocker.
Maybe the language in setting all those up should be very upfront with the benefits they provide. Or even proactive emails and large dialogs about doing that. Perhaps it should be like those sites heavily suggesting 2FA if you've been a customer long enough. If there is a concern about noise, maybe the messaging for that should pop up in the GUI in a non-ignoreable way and start on accounts with a sizable spend or have existed for some time with activity.
> the fine has been calculated on the basis of the value of Google's revenue from search advertising services on Android devices in the EEA.

"They have a lot of money and we would like to have that."

The actual "damages" have nothing to do with their total revenue, only the revenue incident to the behavior in question, which is an independent value and not a percentage of total revenue.

For example, if they improve their search engine which causes more people to use it, it doesn't change the actual amount of damage from separate actions -- it may even reduce it by transitioning some of the defaulted users into users who would make an affirmative choice in their favor -- but it would have increased the amount of the fine when calculated as a percentage of revenue because it would have increased their total revenue.

I think the conventional explanation is that there are way too few lensing observations for normal matter to be anywhere near enough. You might read a news article that says there is 30% or 10 times more regular matter than we thought, but it's such a small baseline it doesn't make much difference to the big picture.

I really how you've framed this. In a sense, it's much like other investments in infrastructure (except digital, rather than a highway or rail line): lots of jobs during construction, and then once it's done it's a public good. Perfect for during a downturn.

I work in automation, and what's happened when a location introduces our tech is not an immediate loss of jobs, but rather the existing employees move to higher productivity roles. Any job losses eventually come via attrition and non-replacement.
In addition to GlenTheMachine's excellent answer:

If you see opportunities on FedBizOps where you only have a partial solution, look to see which Govt contractors/suppliers are already working/bidding in that area. Often you can sell your partial solution to them first, and they package that into a larger solution that is sold in to the government opportunity. This is still a complicated long term sale but it can get you on the board.

Once you have smaller wins at this level, leverage them to drive revenue, product feedback and customer success stories for related conferences/marketing materials. To promote success stories - look at government focused media such as e-republic's various brands. (http://www.erepublic.com/) or specialised media (there are a bundle focused on health/defense etc). Check their editorial calendar and network at their or related industry events.

None of this is quick but it can work.

For me, the problem with the Fermi paradox is that we only have one poorly understood and incompletely documented example of a planet with intelligent life from which to draw conclusions. Beyond that:

* How many habitable planets are out there? We're just now starting to get data on this, there might be a lot

* Of those, how many develop life?

* Of those that develop life, how many develop intelligent life?

* Of those that develop intelligent life, how many advance to the point where they're capable of interstellar travel? How many are interested in interstellar travel?

* What if FTL travel is simply not possible? STL interstellar travel could basically be a one-way trip. Maybe most (or all) alien civilizations are unwilling to explore beyond a few light years.

* What is the lifetime of a space faring civilization? maybe all the alien civilizations just died out before they explored very far.

>> The conjunction of two events can’t be more likely than just one event by itself.

> This is mathematically incorrect. If two events are mutually dependent on the other to occur then two events are more likely to occur together than either or independently.

The original statement is correct. You are talking about conditional probability: the probability that one event will occur given that another event has occurred. i.e. if A and B are two events P(A|B), read as the probability of A given B. This is equal to P(A and B)/P(B). Notice that, The conjunction of the two events, P(A and B), is divided by the probability of B, P(B). We have reduced the probability space to the smaller space of just B. The conjunction of two events is just their set intersection (at least in a probability system which defines events as sets of outcomes) and can never be larger than either event.

Unless they have venture capitalists to subsidize them....
I've tried nearly everything, largely because I am generally afraid of losing a job due to being tardy.

I used to drink little to no caffeine (didn't do coffee, nor soda, etc). I now drink coffee regularly with no effect, still no soda. I've tried getting regular exercise, though running is actually painful. I still run into the same issue: A couple nights of going to bed at a decent time, then by the 3rd night I am awake 2 hours later. There is no point in lying in bed when I can't sleep, though I've tried that too.

Consistent day-night cycle helps very little - I'm too far north. Winter days are 4.5 hours long, and midsummer you can read outside at night. I didn't always live up north, but it didnt help much then. The sun coming up is a non-issue for my sleeping. I do find that dimming the front room lights a while before sleeping helps to an extent, but not enough to wake at 6-7am and get enough sleep during the week. The main concern is that sometimes I simply won't wake to the alarm. At all. Or phone calls... I slept through 17 phone calls once. Physical shaking helps.

Part of my issue is that the actual quality of my sleep suffers with early wakings, even when I can get drowsy early. I generally require between 7 and 9 hours sleep per night to feel well-rested: 6 hours is too little, but doable for one night. But even that changes: Sleeping from 12am to 6am produces poorer quality sleep than 2am to 8am. I've often considered simply going to the doctor. I've quit jobs that started too early as well, and try not to take jobs that have early wakings too often.
Most people need to be somewhere at a specific time in the morning; a variable alarm clock doesn’t make much sense unless they also leave a huge buffer. But for childless tech workers who can roll into the office any time before 11am standup... absolutely.
TL;DR: Just set up the "Build" toolchain (configuration) in Qt Creator and point Qt Creator at your target (with the correct ssh user login) for when you click "Run" or "Debug".

http://wiki.qt.io/Raspberry_Pi_Beginners_Guide
http://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS

These two tutorials use slightly different setups, so don't get confused on details, but both are great to glean tips from.

I've successfully used Qt Creator on both a Linux VM (desktop Intel) and a Windows desktop to build originally-desktop-based Qt projects for embedded Linux on ARM. The projects are not headless, but also do not use X to run the Qt GUI. Instead they use EGLFS.

Even if your software doesn't have a GUI, you can still do remote debugging with Qt Creator... or Eclipse, or Visual Studio , or anything that has the proper hooks.

I don't think any sane developer would want to use a remote X server to get to an instance of an IDE.

As long as you have the proper cross toolchain (some cost $) set up correctly in Qt, and your target code is all included properly (libraries and headers for your target, NOT your dev machine), you should be able to do exactly what you want for any desktop+remote target pair.

Additionally you don't even have to work in Linux to target Embedded Linux:
