For a salaried position, this wouldn't even be unethical. When I finish my work, I take off and have fun. Even for hourly contracting, it's dubious whether this is unethical. The only mistake is telling people it took five minutes. Ideally you'd spend the day having fun and check this in at the end. Not getting paid for actual work done is so common in contracting, however, that I certainly wouldn't feel bad about using up the whole time estimate for a five minute task.
> Evidently people are so angry at successful people at this point

Because "successful" people are laughably just capitalists whose only success is extracting wealth from people who actually work for a living. Capitalism isn't a system that benefits the vast majority of people and being a "successful" capitalist is bad for our planet and society.
Very very pithy and revealing info you have provided above.

Of course, the rocket is forcibly billed to the US taxpayer because of corporate lobbying and the demands of shareholders and politicians alike.

At this point, I would almost rather us be forcibly billed the $80,000, and just let the missiles rot. They provide negative value to this Earth when used.
That’s really the issue I think, has to be a public server if it’s going to work for mobility.

Fixed desktops maybe, but a laptop or phone?

Well their passport has “Republic of China” printed on it. They officially have a claim over the physical land of Mainland China but deny mainland Chinese citizenship. For practical purposes most people would refer to it as Taiwan so as not to confuse laymen.

Is it no so in America, that you can use any ATMs without fees? For example, in the UK, I can use my Nationwide card in a machine outside Barclays. I've only seen one that charges, a standalone one in a club.
The most important attribute of DoH is, imo, authentication with the resolver. The browser has a terrible time with 3rd parties messing with the DNS stream. DoH allows the browser to be sure its using the resolver (and therefore the resolver policy) it intends to.

> - The local DNS server deliberately does not resolve certain hosts (e.g. because it's running PiHole)

The right answer, imo, is that the pihole implements doh and firefox is configured to use it directly. The reoslver is authenticated and you're sure you're using the policy you want. A quick search indicates some interest in doing just that - I know stubby is working on doh support.

in the interim of course, you can just disable DoH and hope that your unauthenticated udp makes it to the pihole and back in tact :) - there's never going to be a lock in.

> An internal host also happens to resolve on the external DNS, though with a different IP. E.g., a company could have its public DNS set to a catchall entry *.company.com, but at the same time could have dev.company.com set to a special IP

so far as we can tell, this doesn't seem to be a significant pattern with http content.. at least not to the point where both split horizon addresses correctly handshake from each side (defeating the fallback logic). I suspect this has to do with http caching not working very well in such a setup either. This is exactly what we're looking at error rates trying to determine, but the prevalence of other open resolvers like quad 8 seems to have really reduced the frequency of this kind of thing.

There are certainly some dev environments at the tail that will require manual config.. but for the most part those environments already have a bunch of manual config so this isn't a huge leap to do.

"That was probably way more boring than you were hoping"

Heck no, that was really interesting. These odd, deep comments are one of the reasons I love Hacker News. I doubt I'll follow the project but enjoyed your description of it. I'd probably read a summary of the finished work, too, if it proved useful for real-world data or even amateur simulation builders.
Myth doesn't imply something false. I think you
are going by the common usage of the word myth. Myths have little to do with falsity. Wikipedia says it best: "Recent approaches often view myths as manifestations of psychological, cultural, or societal truths, rather than as inaccurate historical accounts." [0]

Harari uses the word correctly.

So the idea is everyone count say twice a second, starting with the value of the exposed card, and when you get a match to a card you have, play it as fast a possible. If everyone counts at the same rate, you should win every time. I think this would be pretty easy to do if the group practiced out load for a while, but hard if you didn't.
Thank you for your support dnautics :)
The Trek movies haven't been like the show for a long time. I'm no huge fan of the Abrams movies, but it's not as if Nemesis was some cerebral voyage.
I'm reading the comments here about how the languages fails, or what it should have done better, but at the same time I'm feeling the same as I do when building up something with Kubernetes and the problem isn't really the language, it's the shortcuts we take with it to stay concise.

e.g. in Kubernetes you can give a Pod, Deployment, Service, Ingress, Volume, etc. etc. the exact same name and in fact many examples encourage that (because they are namespaced on the type). However this is practically just an artefact of a previous choice and when you're looking at your YAML files you may not immediately know that distinction unless you have some familiarity with the tech.

What it says is that you can call everything the exact same thing. And it will work, and it will seem nice or elegant.

So it is with this Swift example and having a protocol, an extension, and a base class all declaring the exact same thing. Even if the compiler figures it out, how would you without reading the spec or knowing where those files live (because in the real world they would be spread across the filesystem)? It's just poor consideration for comprehension.
Same. Abom as well and /r/skookum a bit.
> I like the focus on loneliness, I hate the focus on disorders.

Again though, that's you, your understanding. This is always the problem with psychology. Projecting all the information you've ever encountered through your understanding of yourself and through your understanding of others, onto others.

Disorders suck, yes. It's not always just loneliness in a physical presence sense. Sometimes it's intellectual/emotional loneliness.

> I don't think half of the people who think they're on the autism spectrum are anywhere close to it.

We are what we make of ourselves. You might not know the reason someone would prefer identifying with autism. But again, that comes down to how you observe information on the outside, versus an how an individual has understood their own self internally, in a stable sense, their entire life.

Intellectual loneliness, only seeing a singular connection between sets of information people externalize. One singular one that matches with everything. And then, trying to have one's own sense of self, instead of having to perpetually match with every person intellectually, to keep their own perspective maintained, validated.

For hobbyist grade symbolic manipulation, I've always found Maxima good enough. It's especially convenient because it has a command line interface, so you can just type the equation and get the answer immediately.

How do you call BS? Yes of course they consider the two separate countries. The issue isn’t that. The issue is which country is the historical continuation of “China” after WWII, and that’s not even what I’m talking about. I’m talking about ethnic and national identity; the argument over which government of China is legitimate was not part of the conversation.

Taiwanese people are Chinese people, as is much of Singapore and Hong Kong.

I’m not sure what your referendum links have to do with anything.

Hi, I build the terminal in VS Code and am a maintainer on xterm.js. There is some reinventing of the wheel happening but that's because xterm.js is the best option out there for building a terminal in a web context. As WorldMaker mentioned though, it's open source and a communal effort, so anyone can pick it up and build a terminal that runs in a browser or Electron with ease.
I like the technologies section, nice way of showing "no limitations"
Same here. Can't stand /r/firearms though. I wish there were better gun communities out there.

And I wish guns weren't so expensive. I'm at the point where I have insurance on my gun collection alone.
Has anybody tried any of the 4d maze games?

I've tried a maze game and a 4D space shooter before and I could never wrap my head around them. I don't know if it was just poor representations or if it was just because my brain is incapable of understanding.
You totally missed the point. If Taiwan and mainland China unite, it will be more like the East Germany and West Germany reunified in 1990. Taiwan was part of China historically. The people in Taiwan are Chinese people. It will be only a question of time when Taiwan returns to China.

Crazy fireplace people. They love getting a fire running just so (upside-down of course). Chop down their own wood, split the logs, build their own wood shed.

I live in suburbia, but now I know how to test wood for moisture, how long to season it, how to stack a fire properly, how to keep it running at the optimal temperature range. not very important where I live but I enjoy fiddling with my wood fire in winter.
I've actually enjoyed Discovery quite a lot. I think it's easy to see the old series through rose tinted glasses and forget the extremely subpar episodes, focusing only on the best. In my opinion Discovery has been inconsistent, but far less so than, say, the first season of TNG. That said, I'm still irate they set it in the past. There's no reason for it - even the tech that forms a major plot point feels generations beyond Voyager!

I hope this new Picard show is something entirely different. Given that it'll air alongside Discovery I see no reason for it to be another "explore the galaxy" setup.

I am glad you are not a surgeon.
Not directly. You can call "open internet" politics, sure.

But this is different than the existing politics of taxes, gun rights, abortion rights, property rights, race relations, immigration, transportation, homosexuality, tariffs, or federalization.

You might claim it reflected free speech, i.e. the inability of government to restrict the content of written or spoken messages. But I think that would be a weak argument at best, especially for the pre-https web.

Yes but that's the entire point of these comments, wasting cycles is a great optimization but unless the goal is purely intellectual exercise, you lose more time with expensive trig functions. The real world favors the naive approach, in this context + case.
It's not that hard to picture Snap raising billions in the stock market: the company got $2.7bn at the $3.6bn IPO last year. Twitter raised $1.8bn in 2013. Their problem is not lack of financing.
I have enjoyed watching the electronic badge scene at Defcon unfold this year. I don't know how long its been a scene, but some of the badges are pretty impressive mesh networks, blockchains, and breathalyzers. It really brings to mind something like the demo or 'zine scenes of old. It's spreading to the other conventions and meetups it will be interesting to see how far it will go.

If you search #badgelife on twitter you can see some of the action unfold. https://twitter.com/hashtag/badgelife

Absent corruption, higher returns are correlated with higher risks. If everyone knew MSFT in 1986 or McD in 1960s was what it would be today, then everyone would have jumped in and brought the returns down.

Similarly, people are free to jump into GOOG or FB or AMZN, and if they want to accept the risk of paying sky high prices for the equity, then they might be rewarded with "life changing" returns.

There's never a free lunch. And most people don't have enough set aside where they can gamble it on large returns. If they did, they would have access to VC, PE, or HF.
Thank you! I think having it provide some useful real-world data in any domain would feel like the epitome of personal achievement for me with this. That is not my single-minded purpose with the project and it is interesting enough to just work on it for its own sake, but that long-shot hope does inform part of the overall direction.
Disappointing article. The history and future of neural network chips is much much larger than GPUs and TPUs. There was a post a few months ago from IEEE about neural chip architectures, which was pretty good for the scope, but there is actually a lot more once you add in the materials research.
I see a guy with a shirt and tie, but no suit jacket. A few other people have long sleeve shirts. I couldn't speak for them as to whether they are uncomfortable and sweaty, but based on personal experience hiking with long sleeves to avoid sunburn, high quality shirts can be very breathable and comfortable at temperatures around 78-80.

I admit the possibility that this whole article is a puff piece meant as PR for this firm, and in reality they're all miserable inside but maintain a charade of happiness to hide from potential customers the fact that their heat chimney was in fact an engineering disaster.

The simpler explanation, which jibes with my personal experience as a longtime Seattleite, is that it's just not that big of a deal to do without AC here as long as its a relatively small building and you get the airflow right.
of course it weakens the argument. you shouldn't take sides. if you take sides you misrepresent the other version. or you don't mention it altogether like he did.

and he does takes sides.
My credit union (Baxter) has all of these. I think it's still good to avoid the big guys but I guess you have to check if your local bank or credit union is suitable for you.
A Retiree Discovers an Elusive Math Proof (2017)
5-6 years ago I was a part of a 30-ish person Skype group that organized a weekly "30 Minute Music Challenge". Every Sunday, a loose theme would be announced ("loss", "slow music", etc), and then you had 30 minutes to write, perform, and mix/render a song and drop it into the Skype chat. After 30 minutes, we'd all join a voice call where each song would be played in succession and anyone could give short impromptu feedback (usually just in the form of encouragement/amazement at whoever managed to pull off something decent in such a short timeframe).

It was pretty great because it was small enough to where we could have special themes like "imitate the style of another artist in the group" and we actually knew each other well enough to where you could do that, and then when listening, you could tell pretty easily "ah, this person is imitating Wallacoloo's style". And even though what you make over the course of 30 minutes is undeniably crap, sometimes the core of it would make for material that you could expand into an actual song over the next week.

The bronies also had a similar take on this type of thing titled Toast Beard. Whenever a new episode of My Little Pony aired, you'd have a week to create an "episode response" - e.g. remixing any musical acts from that show, vocal splicing the characters, or original works that were related in some other way.

Both of these are, to my knowledge, defunct (although, it's possible they just evolved into different things; I didn't keep up). But they were really fun because they were small groups both with a lot of personality, not serious in the least, and they encouraged a good deal of experimentation. It certainly was something you did for the experience and where the outcome really didn't matter a whole lot.
Just saying because you focused on that: Mathematica has a command line interface too
In public policy, when you insert a time-lag between reward and behavior for which one is rewarded, there is at least cause for concern. See basically every metro-telecom deal ever for evidence.

And transparency is vital. Any time there are dark corners, people find a way to fester in them. See every society, ever.

Finally, there's really just a degree of gided-age wealth-fatigue. You have to expect it at a certain point - humans are exquisitely attuned to status differences; it is just how they're wired.

It already is ugly, and in plain sight. That's my point: people who aren't themselves directly affected by it don't notice it or dismiss it because it doesn't look like the jingoistic, flag-waving nationalism that they think of, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

On the other hand much of the world is more dependent on China's cheap manufacturing and products than anyone was for Russian products which makes sanctioning (or going to war with) them much harder. It'd definitely be interesting to see how far the One China but not really policy that most of the world follows will stretch if/when China actually makes an Over move against Taiwan.

Yes, the article gives IMO a worse explanation for the delays here.

> Without deep knowledge of a company’s critical research — which businesses may be reluctant to share, for competitive reasons — it’s difficult for outsiders to evaluate a start-up’s worth.

In the presence of ZIRP --> greater fund availability, existing reasons for not going public dominate: not dealing with Sarbanes-Oxley, activist short investors, and other operational headaches of a public company. The other good reason for going public -- getting officers and employees regular liquidity -- is being undercut by increased availability of secondary offering platforms.

It is such an expensive pain to run a public company, the only reasons to do it are access to capital and ongoing liquidity for your shareholders. If you can get that another way, why bother?
I’m pretty sure people said the same thing about Linux back in the day. Not that this effort will necessarily have anything like that level of success, but requiring a lot of work doesn’t make it impossible for open source to succeed.

"The United States will immediately initiate a hot war against China and attempt to decapitate China's government if China attempts to annex Taiwan. "

Oh gosh, not quite.

This is a kind of cold war policy with caveats.

If China escalates militarily, US will likely tit-for tat and yes, may be involved in actual, armed conflict as it escalates Ex: China sends Aircraft carrier, US does as well, small gunboat firefights ensue, US participates, maybe some naval firing back and forth, Chinese marines found on Taiwan, US marines land as well, China does electronic attacks, US response.

But ...

In an unlikely 'Blitzkrieg' scenario, whereby China launches a very swift and unanticipated attack on Taiwan - say: multi-beachead marine landing, paratroopers, 5th column destruction of comms equipment, drone and cruise missile attacks, total electronic-warfare shutdown - and the Chinese have militarily occupied most of the major and important installations in say, 48 hours ...

Do you think the US is going to ramp up 500K soldiers and 'invade Taiwan'? It would be logistically difficult, and militarily questionable: the Chinese are well armed, and can fight, and landing beachheads in that scenario, so far from home, against a large enemy may simply be futile. In fact, the Chinese may possibly be able to easily defend themselves against very vulnerable US Navy ships these days.

The US/world reaction may be to use the US Navy to blockade Taiwan and all of China, and to launch electronic and economic attack on China.

But I doubt if the US would respond in a full-on WW3 scenario.

As the commenter posted, a gradual, even softer-than-Crimea takeover is much more likely.

Supporting pro-China elements in Taiwan, spending a generation 'educating' (i.e. propaganda) Taiwanese that they are in fact part of 'mainland China', using coercive economic incentives ... I think that Taiwan may ultimately join China through a slightly shady but nevertheless 'legal' popular referendum.

The Chinese have the advantage of taking a very 'long view' of things and can have '50 year plans' for such things. Western democracy unfortunately doesn't allow for that so often.
