Japan has no images warning of dangers of anything like that on boxes of cigarettes as far as I can tell (living here for several years) and there is much less a stigma around smoking compared to my home country (Australia).

Well, the other guy of the story wasn't even aware he had been tested. In the real world you probably use the real problem as the test if at all possible.
What percentage do they speed it up?
If you're going to argue this then I agree with tptacek, you must also think it's an architectural problem that filesystems cannot all be implemented over FUSE with performance equivalent to their kernel versions.

Yes, TUN is not 0-copy. Is there an equivalent that's as fast as the kernel in any other major OS? (I'm asking that honestly, I have no idea.) If there is, is in-kernel networking on that OS as fast as on Linux?

The Linux network stack is what it is, there have been recent improvements for it (e.g. DPDK), but I think it must not be so bad given it powers most of the Internet.

I have chronic migraines, the frequency isn't too bad (2-3 times a month). Personally I've spent 2 years migraine free doing LSD and psilocybe mushrooms (and other related drugs) every couple of months during a year and a half. Sometimes in the range of microdosing: ~25µg LSD monthly for the last 3 months). I know, n=1, but still.

I personally use clicky.com and get similar analytics. I guess this is good, but I don't think it justifies the price considering clicky.com gives you in some cases, more information (ip addresses, heatmaps of where users click, time spent, etc.)
I can't read the article as it's behind a paywall, but if you can make a chip that's 100% optical, then it means that when you beam your input data at the input end of the chip, you _instantly_ get the output at the end. No need for cycles for multiplying, adding and so on. Plus it wouldn't heat up like silicon does.
This is what NASA could get to power their satellites, at NASA's pricepoint.

And had Vietnamese used Chinese characters to this day, learning Chinese and vice versa would be easier for those with a full education.

Not using hanzi makes learning language at the elementary level much easier, and many countries dropped use of them to improve literacy rates during their process into developed countries. But once your country is developed and education is good, hanzi has the advantage in that its fairly uniform and lets readers quickly understand new words even in different language.
Anecdote time: I hit a non-deterministic bug in one of the C based Python packages we were using. Most of the time it worked, but we were running MonteCarlo on it and saw many errors.

I guessed correctly that it was using uninitialized memory, and errored when that wasn't zeroed out, but my C wasn't good enough to find where. Had this been Julia the whole C code would have been Julia code and I would have had a chance to dive in and debug. I ended up having to get a colleague who's fluent in C to help.
Read up on how the WW2 US Army was recruited, trained, and sent into battle. To the degree possible, squads were kept together from boot camp to build up 'unit cohesion' based on sticking up for each other. Most people don't fight for abstract principles, they fight to stand up for their friends, and/or to not look bad in front of their friends. It's bad policy to ignore that.
Reminds me the first time I watched a european version of lost. Being used to the show so much, I noticed the pitch of the intro sound was different. Then I realized PAL is 25fps vs NTSCs 23.976. I was surprised I could hear the difference at all

Contemporary history suggests nationalism is almost always a reactionary movement. Reactionary movements are by definition in reaction to some other political entity. Thus the tension.
There's a difference between outdated and un-updated.
The underlying problem is comfortable war. It's comfortable for us - we give up nothing, there is no draft, no extra tax, no rationing. Even the soldiers live in relative comfort at base, with air conditioning, plentiful food, computer games, etc.

We should choose, as a society, to make war uncomfortable for us. It is the moral choice. We should have a draft, which puts the children of the wealthy and powerful at risk. We should have extra taxes, and ideally there should be rationing.

Then see the popularity of diplomacy rise.
I can well imagine that lofty ideals like defending democracy "for queen & country" quickly go out of the window when bullets starts whizzing past your head.

But what motivates people to sign up, go through months of training & travel to far off foreign lands to fight? Without those motivations, the desire to defend the 'person next to you' would only manifest when your homeland was under threat of invasion.
That requires a 24x7 100% utilization level. Which is not reasonable if we are talking about wind or solar power.

I think that the max power of the farm is 800 MW, so peak utilization would be about 25%, unless more capacity were to be added in some fashion.
I think a CO2 tax should be applied to capital equipment at the time of sale for best effect.

By performing these transformations optically, they primarily get data parallelism (like [GTV]PUs). I expect this to happen. NVIDIA’s ACDC paper provides an FFT-accelerated neural network layer (similar to deep-fried convnets), with an offhand remark that the transformations could be performed optically. I wonder what kind of information bandwidth they can get, though.
I work in Indonesia a lot and that data makes sense.

Every man I know smokes. That's not an exaggeration. It's ridiculously cheap, and with incredibly low income for most of the population, its the only vice that's allowed for most people.

A couple of guys on an island in the middle of nowhere once said it helps with the mosquito's (they also keep large fires lit for the same reason) but not sure if anyone else thinks that.

Hitler also had a point that the Treaty of Versailles was unfair to Germany. Neither Qanon nor Hitler deserve to be absolved of their dangerous lies this way.
Typical NYTimes to underline all the poor dead & wounded American soldiers and not a single word about innocent Iraqi and Afghani citizens, let alone the insane wave of refugees across the globe that America's aggression has helped cause.

Americans are simply not interested in the victims of their wars. It runs counter to every iota of American culture, to acknowledge the failures of their warrior-classes, alas.

But, you should know, the article did mention the casualties, at least glibly. "Many more Afghani's have died than were lost in the 9/11 attacks", is the only context the author can find, to appeal to his readers.

Its a sad state of affairs when the worlds greatest nation is populated with its worst cowards. Americans should have a War Channel that shows them what their military-industrial-pharmaceutical masters are doing around the world, 24-hours a day. Only then would the honour and pride demanded of American servants of its military be placed in the proper context.
In Sweden. I have worked at two of the largest companies, never seen anything like that.

Not really here nor there, the calculation is just gives one an idea where the decimal point is.
Besides sports, I don’t see why anyone watches live TV on a schedule in 2018 when both a DVR and on demand is a thing - even if you do have a cable subscription or an OTA service like Sling and DirecTV.

If I recall correctly from my time having Comcast, they don’t show commercials when you watch on demand after three days. I think it has something to do with ratings only count live + 3 days.
Comparing Qanon to Hitler is such a sad and tragic way to run from the truth.
On one of our project, we are using CSS Grid but for a part of our application we need to support IE11. For this use case, we have decided to use the Grid implementation of IE11 and while different on some points, it is still close enough to be maintainable next to some CSS Grid if you don't use some advanced concepts.

BOOPSI is another one of these message based object oriented systems tacked onto C, but without the convenient pre-processor. It was introduced with Amiga Workbench 2.0, its developers supposedly impressed by NeXTSTEP. I think it's worth having a look at if you know C and are thinking of how to architect an object oriented system.

As an Aussie smoker with friends who also smoke, the packaging makes absolutely no difference to us. It was an oddity when it happened, everyone spent time comparing which photos were the most disgusting and now its just background.

Also people buy smokes they like the taste of, the packaging/brand had/has no effect on what people buy.

To be honest I don't see any evidence of Americans being bigger cowards than anybody else. Also eg European media does exactly the same sort of thing. I suspect it's pretty much a global phenomenon.

I had just hoped that, of all outlets, NYT could at some point grow past it's navel gazing self, given how relatively balanced their reporting is in many other fields.
We are social animals, as much as you can be technically competent it's incredibly difficult to build whole products and companies just based on that. Connections are another resource for a company to thrive, contact with the right people at the right time is considered luck but you can work to increase those chances.

It's not fair if your worldview is limited to a deep technical one but that's not how the world works, we need other people to support, help and guide us. We are closer to a hivemind in that aspect as we build on our collective knowledge.
I'd argue that the pipe -- that is, the entity which owns and controls the physical fiber/wires/etc. through which the packets flow -- should operate under a certain level of enforced neutrality, in the sense that if A and B each are customers of C paying for access to the pipe, C shouldn't decide to disallow, filter, or throttle traffic between them. C (the ISP) should only be able to choose whether or not to take on or keep a particular customer, and to charge fees according to usage. The net neutrality debate is basically over whether to allow C to double dip by refusing to provide the paid-for service unless it's paid for again (and again, and again...).

But that says nothing about whether an ISP should be forced to accept any and all people as paying customers. And it's very far from saying that particular web sites should be forced to accept any and all users and any and all behaviors from those users.

Which means you've basically failed in your quest to label people as hypocrites. Would you like to try again?

(also, you may want to learn a bit more about First Amendment jurisprudence if your go-to is "fire in a crowded theater" -- it makes you look about as well-informed as someone who genuinely insists "the internet is a series of tubes")

Hi guys, very cool to see how this is being picked up over here. Shame on me, but I actually forgot to submit it to Hacker News.

The key fob method is out of the question for my car. I've known about it for a while and store my keys in special bags.

I see quite a few people asking why a sting wasn't organised. I of course shared the M.O. with the police and we actually had a few phone calls from them over the past few days. They are sharing the information with their colleagues but to be frank, they are not going to spend an entire night waiting around for a potential car theft.

We live in Ijsselstein, a city just south west of Utrecht, and car burglary and theft is quite a big issue in our area. My previous car, a BMW F20, actually got broken into twice in 2 weeks. Both times they stole the entire nav system. I've become quite adapt at filing reports but besides filing a report the police can't do anything for you.

The first time it happened they asked me whether or not I saw visible blood stains. Only then would they send a patrol car to do sample research. In any other case, they just ask you to file a report and be done with it.

Let me know if there are any questions you'd like me to answer while I'm at it.

I'm also interested in writing some follow-up articles about car security/theft prevention. If there's anyone willing to contribute, let me know!

Nobody wants to be confronted with their nations' real crimes, its true. But Americans have gone far beyond the point where they are able to confront the results of their out-of-control military-industrial-complex.

Still, I suppose you're right - its not as bad as the Australians, for example.
>Product placement can vary in how intrusive it is. Reese's Pieces in ET is an example of good product placement.

Another great example is Hello Kitty in "Ant-Man and The Wasp". IMHO, it's a real masterpiece - several seconds of pure focus on the product in slow-motion. And people love the scene, becuase it's surprising, funny and well woven into whole sequence.

Here's the relevant fragment of the trailer if you're interested: https://youtu.be/RPUH-FlVCPc?t=1m34s
That argument is very poor because it assumes that (1) pacification has so far failed for lack of proper motivation of service members, and (2) bringing their families in possible harm's way will properly motivate them.

You haven't demonstrated (1) and it disregards movitations such as a desire for advancement (higher ranks), or not getting shot at (lower ranks), and (2) can have many outcomes (there are faster ways to get home for an individual than winning a war), the least probable of which is the outcome you "guaranteed".

You're merely appealing to emotion while simultaneously disregarding all other (and much more relevant) factors leading to a drawn-out war.

I remember one of the big chocks for me when I arrived in Germany from Brazil was to see how common is to see people smoking, not only in the street, but inside bars, clubs.

My state in Brazil banned cigarettes inside buildings when I was very young so going out and coming back smelling like a chimney was like going back in time.

The Product Discovery Process: What Questions Should You Be Asking?
> Wow, what a sad website

How is a website sad just because it offers true free speech? I think it's sad the the perception of free speech is being tainted in such a bad light. Free speech is _only_ relevant if it covers the controversial things, too.
I think it has more to do with the way that researchers describe their projects to journalists. Whatever you're working on is to complicated to explain properly, but you can at least say what it might eventually be useful for. So you tell that to the journalist, and (if they are good) the journalist publishes "A step towards X" (if they're a bad journalist you'll see "Scientists discover X").
Keeping it quiet might be a thing given the moral outrage this would trigger.

The main obstacles here are access to donor eggs and surrogate mothers willing to carry. This may already have happened. Additionally, failure rates acceptable with dogs and livestock are going to cause moral outrage. Though if you look at IVF, the success rates there are not great and it is considered acceptable anyway. Never mind the discarded embryos, miscarriages, etc. Many couples try for years before succeeding.

Ongoing progress might make a few of these things easier. E.g. producing egg cells from normal cells might become feasible. Also there is some progress with artificial wombs. Add to that improvements to gene manipulation and you are looking at industrial scale production of clones of all sorts of species. I see this more as a question of when than if. Human cloning is inevitable.

The main obstacles for this are entirely non technical. There are enough religious and political constraints that this will have to happen under the radar and in less strict countries for a while. Barbara Streisand cloning her dogs sort of moves us toward that though.

Puppies are cute and so what if they were cloned? Are human babies so different? You can bet that there are some dictators, billionairs, etc. out there that would love to have a "mini me". It's the ultimate in narcissism and hedonism. Trump might be interested, just saying ;-). He's insensitive enough to not give a F* what everybody else things. This baby is going to be great. I will be the best child ever!
I agree - considering that Europeans are generally on a positive track for health related statistics, it always surprises me to see how much more common smoking is there. Even in Sweden which has an image of being a healthy country, I have seen many more people smoking than in the US.
There is no legitimate use for so much surveillance. I dare anyone to prove me wrong by listing 3 reasons.

I've been asking myself where's the red line? It's useful for businesses to know how many people are passing by their shop, how many enter the door, how many daily purchases are there. They have NO business in recognizing people as return customers unless the aim is to provide BETTER service.

Online surveillance is automation of profiling with aim of extracting more money. Detecting price-sensitivity, insecurities, cognitive biases. Totally anti consumer.
I believe that this is mainly a US (or actually North America to include Canada) issue, in most of the EU (Germany being an exception) opioids are not so commonly prescribed outside hospitals or as generic painkillers (i.e. for not really serious illnesses) AFAIK.

If you check the maps here:

https://ppsg.medicine.wisc.edu/

the phenomenon seems mostly regional (the colour scale on the map makes very little sense, you need to check the single amounts as everywhere (both North America and EU zone is blue but with very different values ) example 2015, "ME minus Methadone":

Canada 661 mg/capita

US 484

Germany 517

I am not keen on the analogy with orange juice, but the gist of it works: the company I work at got a large contract by knowing the business inside and out. A client came to us an asked us if we could build a certain system. We said 'yes, we could, but we actually think you're trying to build the wrong solution to your problem. Your actual problem as we understand it is this, and we think such-and-so is a solution to that'. They were very impressed.

It is a bold move to pull something off like that, and you can only do that if the people at the table are not clueless salesmen, but knowledgeable people about what you are going to be consulting on.

I think this is the real case for the orange juice test: understanding the implications of squizing so much oranges before 7am, being able to recognize the logistical problems around that, and being able to make an informed recommendation: 'Yes, we can do that, but at this price point because x'. Perhaps it would be even better to suggest a solution that achieves the same end-goal (whatever that might be in this case) through different means.
