The military night vision systems are based on "image intensifier" tubes. Interesting thing about them is that they are still based on all-analog vacuum tube technology. Considering that, it is pretty amazing how well they work in practical sense.

The up- and downside of night vision (vs thermal vision) is that you are amplifying visible light, so what you see is mostly similar to what you would see with unaided in brighter ambient light.
The form I saw didn't ask for an academic email address. Just an email address.
Zero. Cutting out dairy made a real positive difference. Curiously I seem to tolerate goat milk much better (but not perfectly).

I use my body's response to beef (complete well-being) as the gold standard with which I judge all other foods, and sadly (because I cannot afford beef) nothing else even comes close.
I especially meant a movement within the Dem Party, to make them more resilient to potential upcoming voter ID laws?
The United States has shown that treating someone without education the same as someone with an education doesn't work.

Our problems aren't created by uneducated people, they're created by educated people who are taking advantage of uneducated people. Removing that step from the equation makes their job easier, not harder.
The Scandinavian countries that are doing the best economically today had their best economic growth when they were relatively free market/capitalist. So maybe if you grow enough prior to turning more socialist it can take a long time for socialist impulses to cause society to eat all the seed corn and starve?
> The problem I've seen when yagni is applied is not building something now leads to a costly data migration down the road when you actually do need it.

I see YAGNI fail when it's used an excuse to not think about the future at all, rather than a reason to delay building parts of a system that aren't needed yet. Relative to building software, thinking about it is cheap.

I usually think about:

* how needs might change in the future
* what would have to change in the current system
in order to satisfy those future needs
* how difficult changing the system to meet
those future needs would be.

Ultimately, I know whether the current software design can easily adapt in the future.
That’s a great discussion of how scale affects physical systems, but the bit at the end where it’s applied to governments makes no sense. It just declares that it must be the same. Are there actual analyses out there of how scale affects governments, the way one might find quantitative discussion of the square-cubes law in physics?
Agreed, can we have the title changed to maybe "a browser extension"?

Regarding 2.

I am fully convinced that if Java and .NET had a proper AOT toolchain from day 1, meaning beyond dynamic linking (NGEN) or commercial offerings from 3rd party JDKs, C's influence on FOSS world would have been much less than it achieved to be.

And we would already have achieved an UNIX like stack closer to what Inferno/Limbo was all about.
Things are definitely not perfect, but I've not had the same experience or impression just yet. The union has had direct impact on my contract and hours. Of course there is always room for improvement, however.
Great. More 'ammo' for climate change deniers to take out of context and spread around.

Most folks would not bother with trying to understand the points this article is making when presented with the 'no change here' graph. HN readers are not 'most folks' so this type of data manipulation is obvious and wrong to many here.
The input number is, unavoidably, not a perfect representation of pi. However the fsin instruction's job is to calculate the sin of the actual input number, not try to guess what input was intended.

So it doesn't make sense to interpret this as an imprecision of the input number - the fsin instruction failed to give a result which was as accurate as its documentation promised. The documentation has been fixed now.

I don't know how often this actually matters, but it's worth nothing that library implementations of sin() don't use fsin anymore, and I think that is partially because of this flaw.
Venezuela's populist government basically ignored economic reality; at the very least, if you depend on offshore oil revenues to fund socialism, you need to make sure you keep investing in oil exploration. [1]

I can't tell you why Scandinavian counties seem to be sensible and many others are crazy. But, I would say that anyone thinking about changes to US governance needs to take the craziness level into account. For a while the US made a passable imitation of being somewhat sensible, but it seems that was an illusion.

This seems like a great idea (one I've picked-over in my mind). Has anyone done more than the outline in this page?
You said it wasn’t the best file syncing... office 365 integration doesn’t seem to suggest that one drive is a better file syncer... especially because Microsoft owns office. I’d expect that. Gdrive does Gsuite integration, but I wouldn’t knock other services for not having that.

I’ve seen many other services have major issues syncing files... dealing with conflicts, corruption, random file types like issues around Mac resource forks and file-folder types, etc. I’ve seen weeks of work get lost because gdrive stopped syncing, then when resuming overwrote all of a colleagues updated files.

Dropbox has solved all such problems.. in part because they’be been around forever, but also because they’ve hired great talent to do nothing but sync. I trust them way more on that core competency.

I don’t think is fair to characterize Facebook as something that originated from the founder’s urge to cover basic needs such as food or shelter- their own or anyone else’s for that matter. In fact startup mode pretty much demands you forget as much as possible about those basic needs by putting the startup at the center of everything you do.
There's an assumption that there's some proof of work or proof of stake (or heck, proof of authority)-based sybil resistance mechanism that prevents anyone from launching a huge pile of nodes.

I tend to (and think all Byzantine fault tolerance theorists should) view consensus set selection (where sybil resistance is a key goal) and consensus algorithms as largely separate problems.
Whenever I try something like this, my work productivity absolutely plummets. I am unable to focus during the day. How do people keep their mental energy up while fasting or when in fasted state?
Did you see the smiley face in my post that’s implied I’m kinda joking.

Also... I’m a little concerned that your post has “we’re all equal” social justice vibe to it... which is silly. C is more powerful than because “safety features” aren’t there.... deplorable... LOL.

You try going a day without using something programmed in C.

It's written for a general American audience so it makes sense to use those units.
Oberon, Oberon-2, Active Oberon, Component Pascal, Eiffel, Common Lisp, Modula-2+, Modula-3, CLU, C#, D all have strong support for value types.

Java just made a couple of wrong decisions regarding AOT and value types that are now taking years to correct course, while avoid breaking backwards compatibility.

If something like Modula-3 had been granted Java's success story, we wouldn't be talking about how GC languages don't have good support for value types.
Is it really that difficult to identify what foods are garbage and what foods are not?
Romania was an extremely poor country, and that has nothing to do with socialism. It was poor before socialism, and slightly less poor under socialism. Comparing it to living conditions in the U.S. is disingenuous. If this is what Bernie Sanders wants, is Bernie Sanders also planning on somehow destroying 95% of America's wealth, establishing a secret police force and enforcing one-party rule before attempting universal healthcare? Then maybe it'd look like Romania under Ceaușescu.

We have more than enough resources to provide a good living for everyone in this country. Capitalism does not do that, and never will. Only socialism will.
I would argue there is another important benefit than the takeaway suggested in the second sentence of [1], that is the attention to architecture choices that allow for simple or complex (costly) refactoring later can engender more forward-looking awareness in the team's culture.

[1] "One approach I use when mentoring developers in this situation is to ask them to imagine the refactoring they would have to do later to introduce the capability when it's needed. Often that thought experiment is enough to convince them that it won't be significantly more expensive to add it later."

> “If you’re saying ‘even a kid can hack into this,’ you’re not getting the full story, which can have the impact of the average voter not understanding,” Manfra told BuzzFeed News.

BuzzFeed's headline: "An 11-Year-Old Changed The Results Of Florida's Presidential Vote At A Hacker Convention."

If all you see is the headline, that's exactly the impression you're going to get. Lampshading it halfway through the article doesn't counteract that.
I agree—naming is deeply underrated, and it's not at all too late! Just choose something abstract and appealing, or a simple noun without any weird associations.
Awful title.

>In another area of DEFCON, organizers set up a semicircle of computers preloaded with copies of secretaries of states’ websites to allow young children to try to alter the appearance of a vote result .... Notably, the kids were instructed to use a simple database hacking tactic called SQL injection .... Within a few minutes, Audrey, 11, had figured it out, and made it appear that libertarian candidate Darrell Castle had won Florida’s presidential vote in 2016.

The discussion about the vulnerability and the unwillingness of the companies to secure them was more important.

Well Trump obliterated any chance of a decent lira value for the next years with his tweets and sanctions.
And how do you know the sources of any of such videos? That they themselves aren’t propaganda being put out by another state actor?

That’s the role of journalists.. to find such videos and verify them. To put people on the ground in Syria, fact finding and interviewing.

It’s not like America is the only country with free as in speech journalism online — go read other papers if you believe the American ones are so distorted. My guess is you won’t find basic facts so challenged.
This is definitely the right direction. But the thing I really want is a map of minerals, faults, and topography. I am finding topography, but not the other two. Perhaps I'm just not seeing them? Imagine how much better our earthquake predicting abilities might become if we could couple global seismic data with a full map of Earth's fault lines. I know thin is pretty unlikely, but humanity would be better off, and most importantly, it would be really cool (we could learn a lot of stuff)
The headline is a bit sensationalist.

There was a SQL backed lab setup with loaded results from Secretary of States websites, for kids to attempt SQL injection attacks.
Cube hell isn’t the only possible situation for cube level workers either.

It seems that you feeding windows between 4-10 hours has an measurable effect. It seems likely that 4 hours is probably what humans need to get all the lifelong benefits noticeable in mice and rats–rats and mice have much higher metabolism than humans.

I've heard from 2 dieticians (professional, not online), that the primary way we lose weight is through our breath.

Food we eat is drained of nutrients and excreted. The excretions are less than the food, and the rest is absorbed into the body.

The other excretion we have is sweat, which is primarily salts and water.

The only avenue in which we can shed weight is by CO2 exhaled...

(I do not have a citation for this from a paper, but heard the same description from 2 different dieticians. I accepted this as fact.)
The misogyny is evident from browsing their tweets. As for it being the reason they got banned, no, that’s why I said “suspect.”

Do you have proof of what you said?
>It is actually good heuristic

No it's not. It assumes there's a correlation between quality and customers, or at least that quality is a prime cause of customers. But there's no reason to think that's the case. In fact, it's more likely that location is the prime factor: the restaurants in Times Square in NYC are very busy, but they are by no means the best in the city or even particularly good. They just have great locations in the heart of the tourist zone.

I remember reading something by Tyler Cowen where, with regards to NYC restaurants, he advised trying the ones on the streets and not on the avenues, because the streets get less foot traffic and so have to be better to draw people in. I've found this generally to be true living here.

After location, the second most important element is probably hype/fame. The hot restaurant of the moment isn't the best restaurant of the moment, it's the one that has managed to capture people's attention, which could be for a variety of reasons ranging from a celebrity chef to some new gimmick.
In what year did they do that?
So you mentioned it solely as a method of character assassination, then?

> I think Intel has to follow AMD's many CCX per CPU approach, especially after Intel hired Jim Keller who ran the Zen program at AMD.

AMD's approach as a lot of downsides, I think AMD only went that way due to yield issues and trying to cut down on the number of designs they are fabing for cost cutting.
I've noticed now it's become almost accepted knowledge among the general public that Russia literally hacked election machines and changed votes. Even this article appears to present that view in the first couple paragraphs before finally stating otherwise halfway through.
that myth is not usually reality

read about some actual startups' birth stories, gain inspiration from those. usually it includes sacrifices and rarely does it take place entirely in SF
I wouldn't say that - he's basically reverse engineered the graph that a climate change denier is already using for evidence and shown how it's basically cherry-picked BS.

Clearly the denialists are already well-versed with this particular approach.
Or maybe if you start out at a sufficiently high level, you can do just fine under democratic socialism? Or social democracy, I forget which is which.
Every single day back when I was developing software for ZX Spectrum, Amiga and MS-DOS, before UNIX's influence took over the industry and forced us into dealing with C.

Thankfully there was already C++ for those of us that wouldn't move into such a limited language versus what something like Turbo Pascal 6.0 for MS-DOS was already capable of, feature wise.
Surely the light from the sun is a much more damaging? Not to mention computer screens have existed for decades in some form now. I understand the connection with sleep, but Im not sure how much it really damages the eyes compared to other light sources.
I'd hope it gets corrected... But it could be a slippery slope with more and more privacy protections and freedoms taken away... I mean you give up freedom it becomes easier to give up more especially when groups are involved... Hopefully those who with in tech and code the crap can enforce some ethics though.
I would argue that unions are a direct cause of some of that behavior. Union members generally don't have to fear new competition the way non-union workers do. They don't have to fear someone doing their job at 90% of the quality for 50% of the salary. Non-union workers have a disincentive to mentor people who immediately become their competition for jobs. Unions help remove that disincentive and allows members to function as a single cooperative group instead of as individual people competing against each other for the same opportunities.
> Sane people don't post on Youtube

This is false... There is tons of high quality content on YouTube. PBS digital studios, for example, has several fantastic channels. The comments on those videos are generally pretty good as well.

That's not too say that much of YouTube isn't just utter crap or even sometimes harmful. But there is good content if you look in the right places and get the algorithms churning down the right paths.
Well, the ammo was already out there (last graph). The nice thing about this is that it's ammo for the rest of us (it explains that last graph and where it came from). This is one of the problems in debating people with counterfactual beliefs.

They'll start with false assumptions, but often everything after those assumptions are reasonably sound applications of logic and math. They may not even know what those assumptions are (as in the case of the flawed, final graph). They see a trend line that confirms their belief. The flawed assumption is that the data used to produce the trend line is itself sound and reasonable. Knowing where the data came from, why it's problematic, you can present counter evidence to their false beliefs.

The reason some geological maps are almost impossible to find is because they are treated as a national safety item. In some countries the law forbids companies from making these available. So an oil company that created the map can only use it and in a pretty controlled fashion.

More that that, even if the map can be used more freely in the country (by multiple parties) it may be illegal for the map to cross the border in any form. This also means electronic signals over the internet if they cross the border.

I guess the reason some of them are getting out in the open is because they are no longer considered "critical".

This is getting downvoted (perhaps due to the rough tone) but there's a lot of truth to it. It's part of a larger phenomenon that isn't limited to investing as well. I think a lot of inexperienced outside observers of China from developed countries tend to miss that while some parts of China now have many of the trappings of developed nations, the rapid pace with which China has evolved means that they lack a lot of the knowledge that developed countries have about how to effectively manage/use these trappings.

Take driving for example. Cars are everywhere in Chinese streets these days, but most of them appeared in the last 10 years. Imagine being in a city where everyone is a new driver, and nobody's parents ever drove and thus couldn't teach them to drive. The same goes investment as well, and in many other areas.

This isn't to say that there aren't a lot of smart Chinese who read stuff on the internet/learned in school/figured it out on their own (there are), but the aggregate cultural knowledge level in a lot of things people in developed countries take for granted is often noticeably more undeveloped in China. They'll no doubt grow out of it with time though (and hopefully without any significant catastrophes).

i owe everything to the hacker CYBORG, they did a wonderful job of helping me raise my credit score!! He moved it from a 543 low score to a 790 !! My sole purpose was to get my credit rebuilt so that I could purchase a new car and with his help I just purchased a 2007 Toyota Camry. Thank you very much for your help. If I know of anyone whom I think could benefit from your services, I will definitely recommend you.
By the way 6 months after the repair, I purchased a house, which I never thought I would be able to do, and would not have been able to do without the hacker’s help. Thank you again for your hard work. You can all reach out to him via CYBORGUNLEASH@MAIL.RU OR CALL +16787866844
