Even in a fully laizes fair community you would sooner or later be “looking down the barrel of a gun” for some reason or other. Laws at least makes it a bit easier to predict what reasons that would be.

But regarding the need for knowing exactly how things works and who should have rights to do what. I could equally argue that your contribution to raising the CO2 concentration of our shared resource, the atmosphere, is not sanctioned by me. So why is it not you that should prove it is safe before asking me to just accept your doing so?
Google pulled out because of the hacks, but remember both Page and Brin came from eastern block countries, so they had a more idealistic and personal outlook on the matter (at least at the time).

I'm pretty sure that's the right rule. What you're missing is that previously those weren't considered new uses of asbestos at all in the US because it had been used for those purposes prior to 1989. As I understand it, without this proposed rule it would in fact be perfectly legal for US companies to just go right ahead and use asbestos in those building materials without any kind of EPA pre-approval. Requiring them to seek out the EPA's approval first is actually tightening the rules. (There are only five pre-1989 uses of asbestos which were banned, and this isn't one of them.) The main reason no-one uses asbestos for this is probably that it's a liability and PR disaster zone.

See in particular section III, which explains this all reasonably clearly.
No, they don't really, which is why they're always out and about making noise. The good people just keep getting promotions and salary increases and don't spend a lot of their time "networking." When's the last time you got a LinkedIn spam from Jeff Dean looking for a job?
The article says the EU claimed that non standard chargers create 51000 tons of ewaste per year. That’s roughly 100M lbs. My charger and cable weighs 2 ozs, so that’s 800M chargers tossed per year. That’s actually a reasonable number.

Of course, it seems insane that people are tossing usb chargers. I lust leave them in plugs everywhere.

If c is the issue, then some civilization will use solar systems as space ships. They'll figure out a way to move a star along a chosen path and keep the planets in orbit. The travelers would have all the comforts of home while wandering the galaxies.

In fact, I wonder if anyone has done that already. It seems like we'd be able to see their stars dancing about.
All life? No. But if life is very common, what are the odds that absolutely none of it looks like something we would recognize? If that's true then we are absolutely unique in the universe.

It just takes one civilization with a runaway von Neumann probe to drop huge monoliths on every single rocky body in the Galaxy over a couple millennia, and since evidently nobody did that in our solar system, the question is why not. If there's a rule that forbids it, what is the rule and does it apply to us? That's the question posed by the Fermi paradox.

I think OP was just referring to the fact that pizza's region is Italian by default, and they are taking exception to the article omitting "New York Style", even though it was heavily implied, and apparent to all but a pedant.
These US corporate elites are selling out US and the rest of the democratic free world in order to meet shareholder's expectations (and of course, MONEY!). And giving into a dictatorship and giving that dictatorship jobs, money, capital, knowledge, and power. That dictatorship now has imprisoned close to 1 million people in Xinjiang.

Shame on you, Sundar Pichai. At least when Google was lead by Erich Schmidt, Google pulled out of China, and didn't bend to the whims of Chinese government.

Shame on you, Tim Cook. Apple has 4.8 million jobs in China, more than double the jobs in US. https://247wallst.com/jobs/2017/03/17/apple-supports-4-8-mil... . Shame on you for not bringing jobs back when news broke out that Foxconn has created a slave labor like working condition.

Shame on you, Mark Zuckerberg, for continuing to appease the dictator in China, so that Facebook may gain a foothold there.

Shame on you, Satya Nadella, for continuing to supply censored search results in Bing. and for not taking a stand against censorship. But I guess the microsoft borgship has a lot in common with China.

Shame on you, Jeff Bezos. You become the richest man on earth, by allowing pirated, stolen, IP infriged goods from China to be sold on your platform without care, destroying small US businesses. You also partnered with Foxconn for Amazon Echo, tablet, and other hardwares. Amazon is a showcase for trade imbalance. disgusting.

I guess I'm not familiar with how votes are tallied. Are results visible to election officials in real time as people cast ballots or only at the end? Wouldn't it be feasible to look at a midterm election or registered voters (say you had a 70/30 D/R split) and pre-set a machine to return a 60/40 result?
Really great news that this program is getting more effort poured into it. Startup School could be orders of magnitude bigger and more important than YC itself. It could be the first meritocratic platform for startup opportunity.

Instead of trying to predict success based on the seeds of an idea and a brief interview, any startup could enter the program and those that prove themselves could move up a ladder that provides more and more opportunity.

The application still asks about educational background, which effectively just a way of asking about familial wealth, but it still seems like a major improvement over existing avenues.

I predict that in the future YC will be viewed as the "do things that don't scale" early effort and Startup School will become the massively world-changing product that results.
Considering HN probably has a high percentage of well educated people on it, you can clearly see why politics is such a mess. People react emotionally to these things, rather than examine the facts.

Yeah, I gotta agree. Many nations are just kleptocracies. That is, owned and controlled by criminal oligarchs. The US, China and Russia, for sure. Each peddles its own style of bullshit to maintain popular support. But fundamentally they're all kleptocracies.

I'm on the Dart team and I agree with pretty much all of this.

Personal opinion time:

Lars and Kasper, the original leads and creators of the language came out very confidently with this mission to get Dart natively supported in the browser based on the assumption that the language was so good and the VM would be so fast that users would clamor it.

They had the best of intentions — they really did want to make a delightful, productive, fast language. They intended to move the entire web forward the same way V8 had when it first launched, and they believed deeply that Dart would enable that.

But I think they really underestimated how vastly different designing and marketing a language is from simply implementing an already-successful one.

It's not enough to just have a good product. The way you present it is often more important. And you don't even have the luxury of defining "good product" — you must be mercenary in letting your users' needs override your personal preferences. All of that was a real struggle for them.

For what it's worth, there's been a lot of staff changes over the years since Dart first launched. Lars and Kasper have left to try the startup thing again (which I think is a better fit for their skills and desires than evolving a big open source language). The team we have now, I believe, is much better aligned with what you're saying.

It sucks that we do have this baggage, but I hope we can improve our reputation over time. I'm hopeful we can — it took Java several tries before it found its footing.
You can already do that with your own manually controlled drones(surprisingly, no one has done this yet). There is no need to hack the airports drones.

Yep - the effect is ultimately the same, however I'm not convinced that in Trump's case it is deliberate. There's a lot of talk from right that he's some visionary playing "fourth dimensional chess" but I think he's just an impulsive person who just doesn't put a great deal of thought into what he says other than the simple phrases he knows will land with his target audience ("lyin' ted", "crooked hillary", "fake news", "make america great again" etc)
Additionally, if the machines were connected to the internet, the killswitch would've prevented it from spreading. WannaCry doesn't spread if a particular hostname resolves; this acts as a killswitch. Marcus Hutchins purchased the relevant domain name after reverse engineering WannaCry and noticing the killswitch.

Edit: That's not to say the machines should be connected to the internet; I'm just explaining the circumstances that allowed this to occur.
I think Dart started internal development around the same time CoffeeScript gained major popularity and brought attention to JS's desperate need to evolve, but they released at a bad time: when JS finally did start to evolve (as Harmony) which was a reaction to CoffeeScript in the first place. So CoffeeScript served its purpose of pushing JS forward, and most other compile-to-JS languages had no more purpose. I say most because some serve a different purpose than just being a slightly nicer JS, like how Elm piggy-backs on the familiarity of Haskell and provides a niche no-mutation environment, and TypeScript adds type-checking for those of us who can't write code as confidently without it. But the rest served their purpose, and Dart's dream of having its own VM inside Chrome was probably what killed it so quickly.
One reason would be to use non-Mac hardware and Windows or Linux as your primary OS, but still have access to macOS for the times that you need it, for example to do iOS development. I do some iOS development and primarily use a Dell XPS 13 with Linux on it, and have to switch computers any time I need to work on an iOS project.

And specifically about the Mac hardware - I agree MacBooks are the best available, especially the touchpads. But Linux doesn't really support my 2016 MacBook Pro, so I have to use the XPS to run Linux.

> only instead of oil we eat carbon and oxygen, turning it to "harmless CO2". Then, like many bacteria, we consume all of the carbon and oxygen and die off.

CO2 levels were far higher in the past.

During the Jurassic period CO2 concentrations were 4x higher than in 2018. During the Cambrian period, 15x higher.

The Mojave Desert. It’s 48,000 square miles and almost uninhabited. We need 2% of that for almost 1000 sq miles. The Trump admin has approved that land for solar but the environmentalists are fighting hard against it, making bidding companies wary that it won’t be worth it. The location is perfect to supply Vegas, Phoenix, LA, and Texas easy. And can also do NorCal and more. It’ll get you 167GW capacity of solar. More than our current wind and solar combined and almost 10% of electricity generation of the country. Rooftop solar on the 30 biggest businesses in America would also yield a ton of solar, read a study the other day on that.

But...you do have a point even though the first part was wrong. Honestly, anything above 50% solar and wind is useless. Need to make up that cost via hydro, nuclear, or storage.

Why not? You just need to have a cursory knowledge of how little elections and security actually matter. We already use computers to manage our finances, social lives, and health. If they get hacked they get hacked. Life goes on.
I moved to a Mac after a decade of Linux on the desktop. After years of fiddling with drivers, crappy trackpad behaviours and so on, I wanted a computer that got out of my way and just worked. MacOS is far from perfect but it works perfectly with Apple hardware.

If I wanted to go back to seeing my operating system as a hobby then Linux would be mostly a better option.

Fermi's paradox is basically an example of saying "the only two possibilities are that it's impossible or inevitable, and since we don't know it to be impossible, it must be inevitable"--actually multiplying a few of those together--and then being surprised that the evidence doesn't show that it's inevitable.

We don't have enough knowledge of fundamental physics, chemistry, or biology to come up with any reasonably tight bound (tight here meaning only a few orders of magnitude) as to how likely alien interstellar voyaging is, to say nothing of our complete ignorance of xenosociology. Our own experience is n=1, which means it's extremely dangerous to generalize.

But even then, we run into a problem: intrastellar travel is hard. We don't yet have the technology to colonize a single other body in our own solar system, and it's dubious that we could send a human to and from any other body save our own Moon. The only mechanism we have to travel in space is via rockets, whose fuel costs are prohibitive for any sort of long journey. Even getting out of our gravity well requires rockets, and while we have concepts of other ideas that are less expensive, they tend to have problematic requirements such as "requires things we haven't discovered yet."
Yes Venus isn‘t possible afaik, but I think around 125C is an equilibrium.
It's increasingly hard to justify not doing business in China for moral reasons whilst doing business in the U.S. If the moral high ground could indisputably be claimed by the U.S. then peoples' views would be different. Now it's not a big deal that Google wants to do business in China since it's doing business in the U.S.

It's not necessarily that morality has gone down in the U.S; it's that trust in the morality of America's leaders has gone down. I see this as a sign of a decline in the faith of America's institutions. Also with globalization the distinction between nation-states begins to erode. This is especially so in the case of business.
Really, that's interesting. I actually love MacOS and consider it the best desktop/laptop OS by multiple margins. My guess is the OS is the reason people keep buying expensive Mac hardware, and that includes the phones and tablets as well.

I think GP was referring to the “hanging chads” generated by the voting machines in 2000. The machines punched physical holes in paper ballots, but for some “hanging chads” it was unclear which hole was meant to be punched. So I suppose that qualifies as failing to “accurately register the vote of an individual.” Although I am skeptical of the assertion that no voting machine can do so.
> But, a lot of people do use reduced character sets, so I'd expect brute force attackers to give some preference for searching those first--but how much?

The correct answer is that it barely matters.

So an Alice password is worth 27.6 digits and if you went in order of entropy you'd try them after you try 27 digit passwords.

Let's say you think it's overwhelmingly likely that a password is Alice-style, maybe 99% likely. This suggests that you devote 1% of your processing power to Bob style. Instead of trying Alice-style passwords after you try 27 digit passwords, you will try them after... 25 digit passwords

Because the difficulty increases exponentially, devoting just a smidge of processing power to each different kind means that your progress goes roughly in order of increasing entropy.

And Bob's password will be cracked first, since "digits" is a very reasonable category to devote some computation to.
Here's a test: do you think in terms of step-by-step instructions to solve a process?

There are ways of composing Turing Machines much like composing functions to yield higher abstraction levels in the Lambda Calculus. It comes in the form of building up larger forms of instructions out of simpler machines.

I don't think humans think in a LC-like manner, I think we think compositionally: small parts make up big parts, use the parts you make to make bigger parts. Whether those come in the form of a physical machine or an applicative system doesn't matter, what matters is how you string primitives together.

Check this[1] out. This walks you through building up a more usable language out of the rough-and-ready Turing Machine. There are many ways to go about this idea of composition, but this is a good introduction.

The future is ear: Why “hearables” are finally tech’s next big thing
With the advent of LEO communication satellite constellations enabled by miniaturisation and reduced launch costs, hopefully the problem of satellite Internet access's extremely high latency should go away in the future. I expect the more localised signal could improve the bandwidth and cost too.

That said, I'm sure the weight of typical pages will grow leaps and bounds too, as they've been doing.
Thanks, very cool.

The instaplay samples from somewhere in the middle of a representative song are what makes this work so well, I think.

It's striking how different it feels compared to MusicMap from the sibling post (which is also neat): MusicMap plays the entire song from the start, so it takes a while for each song to get going. The YouTube embed also takes a second or two to initialise.

Every Noise at Once, on the other hand, gives you a fairly good idea what a genre or artist is a about the moment you click the link. Very similar to Ishkur's Guide in that regard!
I wasn't asking if a VR experience is different than reality.

We know that a star burns the available fuel and then expires, with a hard limit existing on the size of it's size based on various factors. We know that algae bloom similarly exhausts it's medium and shrinks.

However, the going assumption of the Fermi thesis is intelligent life is different. Intelligent life forms civilizations that are expected to naturally expands forever, eating planets, stars and so-forth.

So far, human behavior looks much like the other phenomena that expand to the limit of their fuel and then die.

And, if somehow against all odds, we wise up and stop exhausting the resources needed for our existence, well, then that infinite expansion tendency quite likely won't be there.

"If we humans are now on the cusp of colonizing our solar system, and we are not much faster than other civilizations, those civilizations should have completed this colonization long ago and spread to other parts of the galaxy."

But what if we aren't on the cusp of this colonization, if one can argue such colonization would happen by quite a few technological advances that are purely hypothetical, that "colonizing the solar system" only seems plausible by incorrect analogy with the colonization of various areas of earth by various local societies.

Space seem wholly hostile to human from it's lack of gravity to its lack of all other components needed by us. Our era has gone from believing "space the final frontier" to seeing just how fragile our condition on earth is.

Your claim was true several years ago, but since then the entire ecosystem has migrated onto the new strict type system. It was a monumental amount of work, but, thanks to lots of effort from our users, we're there.

Aside from a small number of more-or-less dead packages, you should be able to use any third-party Dart packages you want while still using the new type system.
I don't know much about how this works. Am I right in saying this is like the episode in Yu-Gi-Oh where Seto takes 51% of his fathers company so that he then owns the company? That's the only example I can think of to illustrate what I interpret this as.
