Well, yeah.

They realized there's money laying on the floor of your house.

Why wouldn't they pick it up?
Lots of places in America have too much rain, cold, or snow for some months of the year too.
Well, Most of the govt offices in India do not have A/C even today. The have fans all over. I guess, the A/C became essential partly because of how we construct buildings - which trap all the heat.
The article mentions there is an opt out on google, so surely they must be able to correlate the transaction to an individual user, otherwise how do they know what transaction to exclude?
I think that's effectively already the world we live in. As a uBlock user I occasionally run into sites that are broken because they wrote code assuming that some function provided by an analytics library would exist, and it doesn't because that library got blocked. I file bug reports when I can, and I'm concientous about handling these cases in my own code.

Writing code to handle the failure to load of third party scripts like this should really be a best practice anyway. Even if you use subresource integrity checks on all the external scripts you load, what if some analytics provider's site is down for a while? Do you want your site to still work? I do. (Obviously this does not apply to scripts that are actually necessary for the core functionality of your site, but that doesn't really apply to analytics/tracking tools for the most part.)

Making this the default behavior of FF will make this sort of breakage more visible to more people, it's true. If anything maybe this will encourage sites to write their code to handle failure more elegantly and I'll spend less time annoyed. One can dream.
What do you mean? Are you saying we lack the technology to fly drones in formations?
Free Speech is not Free Reach
Games are rarely bottlenecked by CPU and they don't do much io, so they are much less affected by the mitigations than server loads.
Absolutely. This project leans heavily on AWS route53’s latency-based routing. I don’t do the magic, route53 does.
They make high-efficiency top loader washing machines that use the same amount of power of frontloaders. I have one, it's much slower(45 to 90 minute wash times) than traditional top loader but is almost completely silent.
It's sad, but no.

At this point, people have, apparently rightly, concluded that the need for profit is fundamentally incompatible with running a nuclear reactor.

San Onofre is a good example. It has been plagued by operational and mechanical problems over the years simply because nobody is willing to spend enough money to do it right. Given that, shutting it down is pretty much the only option.
> Google did lose 2 EU lawsuits, 2.4B for search manipulation and 5 billion for android antitrust.
> It's not an opinion about Google has tweaked its search, just the scope.

I think this is an example of Trump saying the right things for the wrong reason. If you just remove the 'because they don't like me' from his rhetoric, there could be a valid argument there.
Where do you see that? I see nothing in the leaked photo indicating no notch. My money’s on there being a notch.
You're missing the point. There is no way to quantify leadership potential and so they have to come up with various heuristics. One heuristic is being an outlier in some socially/politically relevant cluster. That is, group people by various factors such as race, income, region, etc. Those who are outliers of those groups are likely to have leadership potential: whatever drove them to succeed where others failed in similar circumstances is a strong signal for leadership potential.
>with flat surfaces the amount of radar energy returning to the sender is independent of the target’s size.

it is basic geometry. Like a flat mirror, no matter the size, will reflect to you the same Sun spotlight (to be precise - as long as the mirror is bigger than 32 arcminutes as seen from the receiving position)
It's not a secret. You can look up details like these on SeatGuru and other sites.

This should be better than a legislated solution. If it was regulated, airlines would focus on gaming the measurement process to provide the biggest number possible, even if at the cost of actual passenger comfort.
Hmm. In my experience as a former PhD student at a major research university, university bureaucracy only hindered my job at every opportunity. You even needed multiple levels of approval for a research proposal. You had to send it in weeks before the proposal was due for the actual funding agency. These are for highly technical proposals that the admin drones won't understand at all anyway. I hear at other universities they have people that actually help you get funding, but not at mine.

That's just one of many, many examples. My department had a 10 admin staff and about 30 professors. Those admin staff mainly worked to deal with the rest of the bureaucracy (who outnumbered faculty 3-1 university wide). Our admins were great. They knew all of the magic incantations and forms to get out of all sorts of artificial impediments.

And I'm not even going to go into the 57% overhead, and the additional overhead to pay "tuition" when I was not taking classes and only doing work to benefit the university (I realize this is standard practice, but that doesn't mean it makes sense).
for the full breadth and depth of learning, is debunked, end of sentence ? learning includes a lot of things.. behavior in groups, another massive topic .. this seems dismissive in a startling way
Screaming at somebody who wasn't nice to you one day (and taking their money turn things further in their favor) isn't exactly standing up to them.
I met the native guy recently at a conference. He's seriously one of the most impressive stories I've ever heard - 2 years, 1 product, only sold on their site, 100M exit, vast majority going to him. He talked about testing a ton of variations (over 100 overall) of their product by selling batches of a couple thousand and tracking return rate, reviews, and reorder rate. Get the best product after extensive customer testing, get the best ads after extensive a/b ad testing, scale up profitable ad spend.
If that actually denoted how common a distribution was in any way, we'd see a lot more Slackware in the world. Some distributions are much easier to fork than others, but a hundred forks of thousand users each doesn't compare well to four forks of a million users each, and the number of users is itself a nebulous concept (do we count installs, or people served by that install?).

I understand it's hard to count, but if they're going to make a case that your group deserved to be on the short list of groups that needed to know by calling on the prestige of their position, something a bit more concrete than some extremely vague statement like this.

Debian is very important and has a lot of prestige in Linux, due to it's principled stance on software and it's position as a base for other popular distros. Personally I think it's just not a type of importance and prestige that leads it to be as important to notify about these issues as the large enterprise distros (and their non-enterprise offerings). If you want to cover the most systems with the least amount of people involved, you hit the list Intel hit, and at some point you need to make a call on when to stop including people and groups. In the case of Debian, the type of contributors it attracts might actually work against it, as NDAs and threats of lawsuits work a lot better against people who are working under their capacity as a representative from their Company (even if as a kernel developer), and would face major consequences for breaking the embargo. Including random developers from across the world working in their spare time is much more dangerous, as there is no existing relationship with a company to fall back on to vet the individuals, and the negative consequences for breaking the embargo for those individuals might be quite small, depending on circumstance. I imagine it's quite a bit more work for Intel's legal department (possibly in background checks they don't even want to think about having to figure out) to sign off on what might be the suggested people to include from Debian.
Seatguru has extensive details on every plane and major carrier flight (down to which 777 variant and how recently remodeled).
I have to create a google account and link it to my mastercard somehow just to be able to opt out?!
Quite an amazing feat, but an even more amazing marketing campaign.
Its a shame IMO. There are lots of problems with nuclear power, but at least the problems are ones that make sense to humans. It seems like nuclear waste would be easier to handle than a ruined atmosphere.
Of course. But this is with zero tuning in place. This is just what the default G1 gets you on that heap size. I'm sure with 2 or 3 flags we could bring that down easily. Given how infrequently we're seeing them (one every few minutes) it's fine for what we're doing.
Working in the maze that is East Hall is usually a big minus.
'Rational' can only come about once one has chosen a goal to achieve or a social group to adhere to, because ANY set of logically developed statements must derive from axioms, logic itself included. You just happen to believe that (If I read your point "1)" correctly) that there is a limited amount of work to be done in any society.

One could just as easily state that a 'rational' society should celebrate: a stable number of jobs (if one is anti-technologically inclined, or if one happens to believe that society is harmed by rapid change); or a growing number of jobs (the rapid change view + population growth, or a belief that more jobs mean people have found more problems to be solved).

But one could also move away from the direct 'jobs' concern and argue that a 'rational' society would be better at finding ways to address the need humans have for being valuable to their society (often expressed here in the US in terms of having a job) and ensuring that people have enough capital to live on a year-to-year basis, whether by changing the expression of those needs and giving a universal basic income or by finding better jobs or perhaps even by going with a strongly progressive income tax and actually supporting small businesses.

Many of the examples I have provided have been argued in the past at some point or another (and my short list is by NO means complete), and one could certainly talk about whether empirical evidence seems to support or contradict each of these points (though note that there are likely multiple interpretations of the data!), but ultimately our society is made of people and articles such as this suggest that we have built a society that systematically fails to support the values of its members. So maybe we should start talking about those values and quit going on rants about 'oh, everyone else is irrational'.

I think a git-like system complete with dependency resolution at function level like Ritch Hickey told in a podcast about would be a great sollution for code reuse.

Besides India, I have had some of my worst trips inside the EU; particularly with Vueling (although Ryanair is a close second). In a lot of Vueling seats I do not physically fit and the staff just does not actually care. If I avoid Vueling and Ryanair, it is generally comfortable, but compared to a lot of Asia (outside India and probably more but I would not know) it’s pretty poor.

...used AI to clone victims voice and used deep fake to social engineer customer support staff into compromising security swapping SIM card, draining bank account, opening new credit accounts and mortgages, and to call random people @55h@ts, then snicker and profit..
Planes basically never crash, though. So legislating less dense cabins under the guise of safety, while tempting for those of us who would like slightly more expensive and less crowded flights, is at best intellectually dishonest and at worst a direct path to more overall transport deaths thanks to increased car use.

It's actually not the airlines who are being hypocritical here.
Berkeley is a long-standing home to nuclear physics practitioners, and there are nuclear-you-know-whats designed in the national labs.. its not a settled thing
>The Huazhong TOS and AAF measurements of G have record-breaking uncertainties of 11.64 ppm and 11.61 ppm respectively. [...] the AAF value is about 45 ppm larger than the TOS result.

Now unless I'm mistaken that is a discrepancy of only 3 sigma, which is perhaps worrying, but nothing too serious. If there are sources of error that aren't yet accounted then such a discrepancy isn't even that unlikely.
Its definitely a big difference. On a 12 hour flight to south america it was far more comfortable than any other similarly long flight I have taken.
Few from my aliases file that may help:

7 │ alias ..="cd .."
8 │ alias ...="cd ../.."
9 │ alias gcd="cd (git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"

The first two should be self explanatory.

The third one will take you to the "git root" of a directory structure, i.e. the top-level folder where the .git directory is (I find this grounds me for when I'm doing git commands.)

Google does give you the option of using a Chromebook with a really basic text editor on it, but it's the same whiteboard problems they want you to solve. There just isn't the friction of having to hand write code on a whiteboard.

From my experience, they only care that you can recall individual lectures from a sophomore-level college class. More rigorous, yes, but I'm not sure about harder. You can memorize CTCI and ace the interview, because that's the only thing they do during the onsite.
Yep, at least you can see the front cam and speaker in that leaked picture.
Thanks for sharing. I'm always looking for ways to improve my CLI experience and there's some gems in here that I've not come across before.
Same thing happened with me at my old software development job. Company went through a merger but I left before it completed. I stayed for nine months, working from home, but with no work to do.

I did freelancing but eventually got very depressed. Quit my job, left my apartment and moved back with my parents.
I agree with you so much. I am the type of person that doesn't learn easily from a book. I need to put my hands on something and write it out and listen to it. Reading it is nearly meaningless to me.
This is pointless: Cables with USB-A on both ends have been available for many years.
I’m not sure what your point is. The fact that people buy thin laptops without ports is exactly why Apple makes them. To the extent that Apple has changed their direction (e.g. fixing the keyboard), it’s because it cost them more to not. Apple in general makes things people will actually buy rather than the stuff people claim they will buy.
This seems to be putting the cart before the horse:

> Just how does this hitchhiking benefit you, little Marinomonas? That’s not clear. “Maybe traveling or living in fog droplets makes a microbe more viable; maybe it’s growing, eating some of the other stuff in the droplet, or able to survive longer than if it’s traveling on dust,” Evans adds.

It may not benefit the microbes at all; they may simply get caught up in the fog droplets, carried into the desert, then all die when the sun comes up and parches the landscape.

On a deserts-and-fog note: I've always found the Atacama very interesting. Some parts haven't received any rainfall since we've started measuring, and possibly not for up to 3 million years. Some parts of the soil are completely dead because there is 0% moisture. Yet a few specialist plants survive by condensing the fog.

> any car with a top speed of 261 mph (420 kph) seems inordinately likely to end up wrapped around a freeway lamppost.

any car with a top speed of 261 mph (420 kph) seems inordinately likely to end up in an air-conditioned garage and never driven at all.

(That's typically what happens to many of these 'hyper-cars' - they are treated as long term investments rather than vehicles, heaven forbid you affect the future resale value by actually driving it...).
have you seen mining heaters ?
Nope. You need to keep much more fuel in reserve if doing arrested landings compared to vertical ones. You probably also need airborne refuelling provided from the carrier.

Another extra cost comes from needing to keep practicing landings, plus trainers like the T-50 to learn how to do them. There is more chance of losing an aircraft in a landing accident too. Not needing to keep practicing landings means that the mix of F-35s and helicopters can be changed at short notice.
Competition definitely created the telecommunications industry and by the way most of the electric grid as well.

'The internet' as we know it was not created by DARPA.

DARPA created some protocols - of which there were many, private and public.

It just so happens that a certain version of it got a critical mass - it didn't have to be that way. And a lot of private interests were involved, particularly private universities.

The network over which the internet was overlaid is entirely commercial - and of course most of the variation of it has been commercial, or non-governmental type NGOs, i.e consortiums.

Nobody is going to argue that some projects, particularly long-term/pure R&D, or projects that literally require a scale that's out of reach of even the largest private entities, are not going to require some kind of collective participation.

But the argument that competition is kafkaesque or inherently problematic because of entities competing for the same turf is short sighted.

Or do like the germans that remember the old times of big brother watching you. Use cash.

Ecosystems, man. Possibly way higher barriers to entry for new players than before.

Google partly defeated Microsoft's phone platform just by keeping their services away from it. It's difficult to imagine any less powerful player having any chance.

Think of modern consumer applications and how much they depend on technology from Google, Apple, Amazon or Microsoft.

They can at many points enforce incompatibility for business reasons. That should probably be disallowed (car makers couldn't really prevent after market companies from producing compatible parts).

If you have the time, just add stops. With Skyscanner/Google flights, I am usually able to cut a lot off the price while seeing some nice places on my way to and from Aus to EU. It takes some puzzling, but flying from Aus is usually weirdly expensive and adding stops cuts the price (last time it more than halved it to stop on Bali for 2 days; what a punishment!). Philipines or Vietnam usually cut prices a lot too. Bangkok is another one but less these days. And it cuts up the journey; helps with physical issues when you are tall (and/or broad/large) as well as with the jetlag.
The first sentence from your link:

> Oracle has announced that, effective January 2019, Java SE 8 public updates will no longer be available for "Business, Commercial or Production use" without a commercial license.

Anything you can get now is still free and GPL open sourced. All they're doing is no longer publishing NEW CODE (in the form of backports and bug fixes) to the OpenJDK 8 branch. Instead they're publishing it to OracleJDK.

They're not trying to kill GPL anymore than Redhat is trying to Linux.
The UK has a law requiring ongoing cuts towards an 80% cut from 1990 to 2050, and we’re about half way through, and about half way there. If the government doesn’t keep to the pathway it can be sued and required to take action by the courts.

I will say that as someone generally on the hiring side of the equation, I do find that hotel chains and rental agencies drive me CRAZY.

No matter how hard I try and how many times I do it, there is ALWAYS some idiotic hiccup that prevents me from paying for the candidate's room, car, etc. up front. I can give those companies all the credit cards and forms in the world, and somebody in the pipeline will screw it up and demand a couple hundred dollar charge from my candidate. It's so bad that I normally show up to meet the candidate in person simply so that I can use my personal card to ride over the hiccup.

If somebody at HN is looking for a startup idea, here's a "grubby" thing that someone could turn into a service that could browbeat the idiotic hotel companies into submission on.
I don’t think our two comments are mutually exclusive. One could be a contractor only working a few small jobs or off and on. In that case you’d have more freedom but not make as much.
Disclaimer: I work on Linux at Intel.

Future hardware will be mitigated against side-channel issues. There's a nice table showing how things are mitigated on future processors here:

But, not everything is mitigated in the silicon or microcode. The mitigation for Spectre / Variant 1 / Bounds Check Bypass, for instance, will continue to be in software.
(a) is underspecified. Benefits you according to whose values? If it's someone else's values, then I would object. If it is your own values, then whether it benefits you really becomes secondary, because what matters is that they need your consent. Whether you give consent based on what benefits you is not a primary concern, though presumably you would.

(b) seems to me like an expression of a naive view of personal identity that makes a binary distinction between anonymity and non-anonymity that doesn't exist in reality in any meaningful sense. Does manipulation against your interests become a non-problem when the manipulator doesn't know the name in your passport? Does it become a non-problem when the manipulator's tools are too imprecise to pick out you specifically, so they apply the same strategy to you and one other person, yielding only a 50% success rate? Does it become a non-problem when they lump you in with three other people? With four? Ten? A hundred? A million?

All of this is about power. Just because power is exercised indirectly or somewhat imprecisely doesn't make it categorically different from someone influencing specifically you, just as poisoning rivers and lakes isn't categorically different from poisoning your food on your plate. It's just a scheme for laundering the power to make it less obvious, and if you allow that, that's what people will do. People who want power don't care how they get it, all they care about is that they get it, so if you tell them that you are OK with being manipulated indirectly, then that's what they will do.

Our ORM allows this on a relational database with similar ‘quick dev start’ benefits. But adding all those pesky structure, validation and indexing are much easier to add later. Also, when there are perf issues with Psql and Mysql it is usually a few minutes to find and fix the issue, with Mongo, even if you find it, you might be at a loss to fix it.
