My understanding is that with X-ray etching/lithography it's significantly more difficult to produce the coherent beam and also to do the focusing of it through a masking plate so you can etch a whole wafer at one time. That's the main reason that they've been working on EUV because they can produce a coherent pulse and focus it more easily. For X-rays you have to turn it into a diffraction grating to make the mask and that ends up more difficult to produce (probably not impossible but much more difficult).

I know the comment is today taken as the high of HN negativity, but to me the comment seems very reasonable.

- Back then there were FTP clients that automatically kept server and client in sync, which is the main feature of Dropbox. Dropbox adds a website, but Windows Explorer already supports FTP nativly. Of course easily creating shared links turned out to be a major thing, but I don't think we can blame people for not predicting that (especially since public folders are a feature of FTP servers, so it's not a new feature, just a lot more convinience). And of course Dropbox makes all that convinient and approachable, but that's easily overlooked by the technical user.

- The comment points out that contrary to the headline Dropbox will not replace USB drives. And here we are, a decade later, and Dropbox indeed didn't replace USB drives.

Of course in hindsight it's clear that Dropbox was a great idea with great execution, but that wasn't obvious at the time at all.
Sexism kept women out of medicine and law for centuries. It's only very recently that this has changed. Women were not even admitted to Harvard Law School until 1950.

I do think there's a universal component, though, as sexism is seen across virtually all cultures.
Why? That's pretty much a summary of how social change has worked for the last 2000 years or so.

The SEC can't impose jail time as punishment for securities law violations, as their tools are limited to civil sanctions (see, e.g., the slam dunk case they had against Elon Musk). However...they can refer cases to the DOJ for criminal prosecution (see Martha Stewart, Elizabeth Holmes, etc.).

Can confirm that despite my best efforts I just can't abide using Windows long-term. I have lots of games that are Windows-only, and after accidentally hosing my dual-boot Linux partition I've been honestly trying to use Windows alone for over a year, and the experience is increasingly frustrating, so pardon the following rant:

The Windows Antimalware service consistently pegs my CPU at 35%, and the service cannot be stopped. Trying to kill it in task manager gives you "permission denied", even if you run task manager as admin. There's an entry for it in the service manager interface, but any settings that would effectively disable it are apparently ignored; there is no evident effect. Registry hacking has been fruitless. The only thing that almost works is to go into the Windows Defender interface and flip the "realtime protection" switch, at which point the service will eventually stop itself up to half an hour later, and then undo the switch and turn itself back on again the next day; I can tell when this has happened because I can hear my fans spinning up from across the room. There's really no better way for Microsoft to drive home how little control I have over my own computer.

And this isn't the only thing. The Windows store is AFAICT pointless; even trying to install Microsoft software like Skype installs some weird limited version that tells you to manually install actual Skype if you want all the program's features. The fact that it keeps reinstalling Candy Crush shovelware lumps Microsoft in with scummy OEMs. You can't disable Cortana without also disabling the OS's search features. Disabling the ads in the start menu, lock screen, notifications pane, search interface, and god knows where else all require digging through different menus to flip different preferences. It endlessly pesters you to use Edge over any other browser and has the gall to reset your browser preference to Edge randomly after updates.

So I can applaud Microsoft for their OSS work, but Windows really is just thoroughly aggravating. Desktop Linux is also thoroughly aggravating, but at least when it is, I know it's usually my fault, and I know it can be fixed.
I worked in a warehouse for a summer in school because the hours fit around my other job and the pay was little higher than some other options (retail). But the Teamsters union ran the show and it was so political that I went back to the food/beverage service business.

All that said, it's too bad that warehouse work isn't going to be an option for many people. There are fewer and fewer jobs for a lot of people.

Note: I support Unions and wish we had more. That union, however....

You can't equivocate transients with working class people or even the anti-social people that hide in working class neighborhoods. And in any event there are ways to keep undesirables at bay that focus on anti-social behaviors and conditions, not income status.

Transit also cuts both ways in that it allows low-wage workers to commute into an area without necessarily having to live there.

For both these reasons you won't find many homeless in the Pacific Heights or Marina neighborhoods of San Francisco, despite their proximity to the Tenderloin and Western Addition.
> At some point this boils over and the ultra wealthy are forced to redistribute wealth either through new political policy or by violent force

Not necessarily. The same robotic technology that decouples low-skill labour inputs and outputs is decoupling populations from force projection capabilities. Less cynically, there are organic ways for the situation to positively evolve (e.g. higher across-board labour productivity) without overt wealth redistribution.

Given that the author is directing their outrage at public companies (Uber, FB, Amazon), what's to stop UBI recipients from buying shares of those companies to effect the same thing? Employees (though not contractors) already get equity as well. If control is the issue, then something akin to Elizabeth Warren's plan of an employee-representative board member is an equally useful tool, and a much less heavy-handed one.
I have the same feeling. "Toxic" is the new "problematic".
> For a user-facing tool, parse errors should be recoverable and the parser should be able to keep going to collect multiple errors.

I don't necessarily agree with that assertion. I need to fix syntax errors one at a time anyway, and very often the parser recovers incorrectly and a single missing parenthesis gives hundreds of errors. Depending on the tooling, later errors can obscure earlier ones, but later errors are more likely to just be a result of the parser recovering incorrectly.

A lot of academic work has gone into making recoverable parsers, but a lot of that work originated from when compilers were much much slower. Remember there was a time when compiling meant taking your stack of punch cards down to the computer room, and checking on the results the next morning. The largest C++ file in my corner of the project I work on is about a quarter megabyte, and builds in 2 seconds on my aging desktop. Of course most of that time is compiling and not parsing. I intentionally added a parse error on its last line, and the compiler only spent 800ms to find it. Most languages parse faster than C++, and most source files are smaller. Waiting 800ms to get to the next syntax error isn't that bad, and it sure beats a screenful of false syntax errors resulting from incorrect parser recovery.

Tooling matters though. Good tooling means that rather than having to search a scollback buffer for the errors that matter, you editor has just jumped to some highlighted lines. But good tooling also means that as soon as you fix one syntax error, the parse results are updated. So it doesn't matter if the one error you fixed is the only one, or the tip of an iceberg.

I'd put it differently than Levine. An accredited investor is one who can afford enough advice to somewhat level the playing field with scam artists. That serves the interests of both individual investors and of society, which wants to minimize the ROI of scams.

He's right that there could be more sophisticated tests for "knows what they're doing". But this one has the advantage of being very simple and easy to enforce.

Yes, I just saw this. I hope it's true.

I remember seeing an interview about 5 years ago that featured both Elon Musk and Bob Lutz, vice chairman of GM. In the interview, Musk was incredibly deferential to Lutz and talked about his respect for Lutz and considered him a friend. They were very cordial. Nevertheless, Lutz has been on the record for many, many years as lambasting Tesla, it ambitious and sustainable aims, and its business model.

So hopefully it's a real friend and not a keep-your-enemies-closer friend. Or maybe either is fine.

New language constructs. The 'WAM' in the name refers to the Warren Abstract Machine, one of the more efficient ways to implement Prolog in a procedural language.

Also, using the SICStus interface and semantics for attributed variables should make for some very general constraint solvers, yes.
To an outsider like me it would look like a position awarded due to being a son of a powerful/rich father with relevant experience awarded the same way in another corporation (how likely is to become a chief executive in young age on own merit?). That would qualify it as a nepotism (father as investor to son); if Elon is a friend, then also cronyism. I have no hope in companies ran in such fashion; they can't survive Darwinian environment, bad decisions would accumulate in time, leading to larger and larger monetary loss, prompting fund withdrawal to cut the losses at some point.
Those aren't completely distinct. We've started calling the edge everything between app servers and user devices. The boundary is "where your users are in control", but the edge itself is pretty fat.

I wouldn't define a CDN as edge computing either, since computation is not the purpose of a CDN.

Perhaps this was obvious to HN readers, but as the story reaches mainstream media, it bears repeating: the Google+ vulnerability was discovered in an internal audit, with new tools, and does not seem to have been exploited.

There have been serious data breaches over the past 18 months, and this is not one of them.

The big story here is Google's strange handling of the situation, and a dilemma of the lack of logging information. The claim that Google has only logs for two weeks of Google+ service: does that limit the scope of a vulnerability, or does it mean we will ever know?

Rules engines are about forward chaining (fan-out of all implications) whereas prolog is backward chaining (querying an implication).

CHR (constraint handling rules) is a forward chaining system built into most prologs that has prolog like syntax, and so is a replacement for business rules engines.

So the choice of what to use is based on that (if you want forward chaining - business rules, or CHR of prolog), if you want backward chaining (similar to SQL) then prolog.

Prolog is more elegant than the business rules engines, and also has extra features (constraint programming with finite domains for example), that business rules don't have.

So in short, prolog is more comprehensive and more elegant but requires more expertise, busines rules are for "untrained" people to get working with relatively quickly.

There's also the dystopian possibility that automated forms of social control are developed neuter the ability of any kind of popular political movement from challenging the elites. That automation could be anything from systems of censorship, surveillance, and propaganda to police androids.

I think it makes some sense to deliberately cultivate and preserve IRL communities and networks that aren't very tech-mediated. By no means are they a panacea, but I think they have fewer vulnerabilities to tech-based automated control.
