In my experience you have to buy the business class laptops for that level of service. You pay a bit more but the models are sturdier and the service is usually great. There aren’t “stores”, they just come to your business/house/wherever you are and repair it on the spot. On the rare occasion they don’t have the right part and you have to wait a couple more hours.
I've never really gotten the appeal of "schemaless" databases. Your data has a schema, whether you're explicit about it or not, but being explicit allows you (and forces you) to reason about it at the right time at the right level of abstraction.
I took a Lenovo Yoga as a "burner" laptop to DEFCON. Got so many people asking about it, saying they liked the size, the pen and touch interface, and the look and feel. There are many good options today, and Windows 10 is just fine.

This is like saying that tea is exactly the same as water, minus the tea. I'm not sure what your point is.
> Later this year, GM also plans to introduce a new feature that can detect when a vehicle’s fuel tank is low and then offer a coupon on the car’s display for a discount at a nearby gas station, said Brian Hoglund, a business development director for GCCX, GM’s connectivity unit. Retailers then pay GM a fee for steering customers their way.

And every time someone says "but how does it harm me for advertisers to know everything about me?", THIS is the answer. It's not just "finding things you might like to buy". It's "auctioning you off to vendors based on how badly you need the thing." The market is an information game and if one side knows more than the other, then they have an advantage.

Really think it'll stop at helpfully suggesting a nearby gas station, when Station A can just pay $1/customer extra for GM to send people their way instead of to Station B who are charging $1/gallon less but haven't paid extra to GM?

Really think it'll stop there, when GM can get an extra $1/customer by telling Station A that you're critically low on gas and can't make it to another gas station, so they can gouge you $5/gallon and you have no choice to pay it?

Allowing your personal information to be indiscriminately mined and sold is bad for you and this is why.

At least Lenovo offers that in some of their models, you may be charged extra, though, if you want onsite warranty, may depend on market. This summer my space bar started to misbehave, created a ticket on Lenovo site, next day a guy arrived to my home and spend about half an hour to disassemble my laptop and replace the keyboard.

No, I am not envious on your repair experience.

Since most people talk about meat bleeding, I don't really think most people make a big distinction between the two things to begin with. And it is blood, minus some of the components. The fluid portion is identical.
I ate a couple of the Impossible Sliders from White Castle a couple of months ago. They definitely smell and taste more beef-like than any other plant-based burger.

There's a difference between saying a theory is wrong vs. what it tries to explain does not exist. Obviously you can prove that wifi sensitivity is an incorrect theory by experimenting. For the sake of argument, let's say someone's symptoms are precisely hypochondria. There must be some physical reason for that, that involves their brain but cannot be assumed limited to it, that can be investigated through science. There are people who do not suffer from hypochondria, so they can be compared. Nothing can be "all in your head" because the brain is physical and part of the body. Referring to something as psychosomatic serves the social function of ritually disclaiming responsibility for figuring it out. The harmful aspect of it is the assignation of blame to the victim, as though their will controls their illness.

This is related to the same epistemological territory people go over and over when debating dark matter, or evolution, or AGW. Observations don't go away just because you question a theory.
The people publishing these ads are literally paying Facebook to do so. IANAL but as far as I know it's not legal to profit off illegal activity. Facebook are, themselves, breaking the law here.
What do you mean by "allow"? If the boot isn't restricted to signed OS X and Windows, you are "allowed". I've installed it easily on several older (2007-2010) Macs.

The reason they don't support it is likely because there's not the demand among their customer base, as most people who want a GNU/Linux OS on a laptop go for Thinkpad or Dell due to better compatibility and other reasons.
Would appreciate any feedback from the hacker-news community.
Eh. I get the idea you're going for, but this seems clear cut. Facebook through its ad platform explicitly allows targeting ads (and apparently, avoiding ads) toward people of certain genders, backgrounds, and attributes.

That may be ethical and legal if it's a nightclub or a retail product, but it's not allowed for housing. At a certain scale like Facebook, it should be incumbent on them to disable those ad filters for the ad buyers.

FWIW this is Palo Alto.

Their property taxes (you can look them all up online) are about $1500/year. Mine are about $2K/month. The young couple across the street pay about $5K/month in property taxes alone.

Indeed they could sell at a large profit but probably their house is worth 2.5-3M; any small house would cost a lot too -- there isn't much choice so house prices are compressed. There's very little rental property -- my real estate friend thinks my house would rent out for at least $25K/month. It's a large house, but there was an apartment in the paper the other day that rents for significantly more!

They could move out of Palo Alto of course, but who wants to do that when you've lived here 40+ years? And the retirement place ("V") next to Stanford (neighbor is a retired Stanford prof) has a minimum buy in of something like $3M.

I still don't understand your point. It is _not_ blood. Water is the same thing as chicken noodle soup, minus some components. Water is not the same thing as chicken noodle soup.
Well that's not the only downside. You're also nearly $2000 for a laptop with a CPU that is significantly slower than what you'll get in either a new MBP or most Windows alternatives.
> Really think it'll stop there, when GM can get an extra $1/customer by telling Station A that you're critically low on gas and can't make it to another gas station, so they can gouge you $5/gallon and you have no choice to pay it?

Or maybe the station owner will demand sexual favors and your first-born child, or that you join ISIS, or that you get out of your car and do a strip-tease beside the road.

This would last about as long as it took the first customer to notice that the previous customer paid $0.01/gallon less than him, whereupon the gas station owner would get a (well-deserved) online lynching.

Not to mention that virtually every gas station I've seen in my life has the price prominently posted on a large display. You think customers wouldn't notice if that were constantly changing?

We won't even go into the over-the-top "charging $5.00/gallon more" scenario. Any station that tried that would be out of business within days.
On the other hand, the EPYC server is 50% less per month so I believe it is showing how much more you can get for less $.

From your original comment:

I don't think it's controversial to presume that most people understand

If you want to say that you personally see a huge distinction here, that's fine. But you are claiming to describe what most people think, and I think you are wrong.

I've learned a lot about the body over the years. I found it interesting to know that there isn't really some clear cut, black and white distinction between various fluids in the body. They actually have substantial overlap and interplay.

It's just something I found interesting and most people seem to not know it.

Have a great day. If that doesn't clear this up, then it's really not worth arguing further.
Ask HN: What's the upgrade situation with smart speakers?
My speakers are failing, so I need to buy new ones. I'm considering smart speakers, but want to know what the upgrade situation is. Who sends upgrades — Google and Amazon, or OEMs? In the latter case, it might be like Android, which means we can't count on upgrades, security holes and bugs remain unfixed, etc.
I agree. If possible, feel free to delete this subthread.

That's a shame we have triggers as the only tool for this job, because e.g. CHECK constraint "cannot contain subqueries nor refer to variables other than columns of the current row"[1]. Triggers are very low-level thing actually, I'd consider them an assembler of RDBMS. So the questions like "Do the triggers and constraints outlined below actually cover all the bases, or is it still possible to add/modify data in such a way that the result would be inconsistent?"[2] are raised too often (usually they are not raised at all, and that's even worse). And the obvious answer[3] is application-level consistency checking - which is exactly me personally consider a shame for current state of RDBMS, especially in the light of Codd' ideas (referenced above), considering the more than half of century history of RDBMS industry.

I am skeptical about Chinese tech scene in the sense that Chinese government views tech as a way to reinforce dictatorship, repression of minorities and expand totalitarianism overseas, rather than to achieve something good.

Think AI to detect undesirable people or self-driving cars that take you straight to the police station when requested, as well as pressure to restrict freedoms in the West in order to appease the Chinese government or investors.

And as for partnerships, you may want to look at previous experience of partnerships in the Hi-Tech manufacturing, like planes or military.

The partnerships only last for as long as needed to copy your technology and start competing with you in your own market.
The amount of faith in vitamin d is rather high. I'm not sure this reads nefariously yet, but it is hard not to think something is getting oversold when my doctor just assumes I need more of it. Didn't even test, just recommended.

While the amounts he mentioned were extreme, gas stations needing an extra turn or that are a little further up the road generally have to price their gas lower. Its quite possible these gas stations will have a few cents of extra pricing power for the convenience.

I'd prefer the dumb maps that do not give my supplier a price advantage even if its a few cents. It adds up significantly over time which is why they'd be willing to pay in the first place.

Interesting, which DB is that? The ones i checked only have constraints on one table at a time (besides foreign keys).

The idea here is that constraints could span across multiple tables via chains of foreign keys. It might not be a new idea but i haven't seen any implementations yet (unless you count triggers).

The point is that the LRNG isn't unknowable, and if the NSA can break it, they can break a lot of other stuff. The LRNG isn't built on AES-CTR (but it just as easily could have been); it's (last I checked) essentially a sort of PRF built on SHA1. All the machinations in the LRNG with multiple pools and the elaborate mixing function and the counters are just plumbing around what is essentially a keystream generated from SHA1 "keyed" by "entropy". The "entropy updates" the kernel rekey that PRF, not because the PRF is weakening but because a vulnerability (orthogonal to the LRNG) could expose kernel memory and thus the LRNG's state, and the updates allow it to recover from that kind of compromise.

That's a lot of words because the LRNG is overly complicated. But let's make it clearer: what you're saying about every TCP sequence number "revealing" part of the "hidden state" is exactly equivalent to the argument that every byte of AES-CTR ciphertext is revealing the hidden AES key. If that were the case, AES would be grievously broken.

If you don't believe that AES-CTR and the LRNG are roughly equivalent, try this thought experiment: retain the initialization functionality from the current LRNG --- building a pool of mixed and hashed unpredictable data from kernel events --- and scrap the rest of the LRNG, replacing it with... AES-CTR, using a hash of the entropy pool as its key. Reads from random/urandom (or kernel random reads, as with your sequence numbers) just tap bytes from the AES-CTR keystream. Is every TCP sequence number still revealing a little bit of the RNG state?

The Python script seems entirely silly to me; once the first read from /dev/random succeeds, you're guaranteed to have a fully initialized LRNG, and every subsequent read from urandom will be unpredictable and indistinguishable from random. Nothing is served by updating the LRNG after that point.

Supplementing vitamin D has had a large impact on my life. A couple years ago, I frequently felt lethargic and was always getting sick. I randomly got a blood test, and it said that everything was fine except my vitamin D levels, which were at 7 ng/ml (!!), when the recommendation is 20-30+ ng/ml. Within the first two weeks of supplementing vitamin D, my health went back to normal.

The same thing happened to one of my friends earlier this year. He started getting all sorts of weird diseases when he used to never get sick. After getting a blood test and learning his vitamin D levels were low, he started taking it and he hasn't gotten sick since.

So even if there is big money behind it, I think it's worth getting tested if you spend a lot of time indoors.

Both situations you have cited are actually probably in violation of the law.

why not just

function baz(modifier) {
let foo = do_a();
let bar = modifier(foo);
return do_b(bar);
}

Example 1: baz((foo) => foo);
Example 2: baz((foo) => do_z(foo));
Example 3: baz((foo) => foo + 10);

which lets you be more concise with

baz = (modifier) => do_b(modifier(do_a()))
