Surprisingly, physicists are very much aware of the field nature of all "entities" in the world, having invented QFT themselves. Even more surprisingly, popular journalistic explanations simplify things considerably, making it seem that the thoughts of physicists are much less refined than they really are. To complete the trifecta of surprises, in the refined thought process of us physicists, using QFT, many problems and paradoxes of interpretational nature or otherwise remain with quantum theory that need to be resolved.

Yeah, this and a couple other reasons have caused me to jump ship (slow boot times, weird config, glitchy UI, plenty of deploy integrations but individually limited, too much downtime e.g. today Travis had trouble talking to S3 for a while).

Hardware capabilities seem like they could be an interesting alternative to traditional separate address space memory management; they could allow you to have fine grained access control to individual objects in memory without having to have separate address spaces via a TLB.

However, they seem to be trying to stuff so much into the capability; there's a base, a length, and offset, permissions, sealing bits, extra bits reserved for user permissions, and so on. They're 256 bytes, 4 times the size of a normal pointer, plus an extra tag bit for validity.

They do have a compressed 128 bit version, with various alignment constraints, but it seems like they are trying to stuff too much functionality into these capabilities.

I feel like it might be more instructive to start from a much simpler capability design, with just simple fat pointers with a few bits used for tagging (due to alignment, or not needing to use the full 64 bit address space), and see how far you can get with that, without adding in all of the extra features and needing huge pointers or funky compression that imposes much stricter alignment constraints.

Why Is Augmented Reality Becoming Important in the Hospitality Industry?
When I say "upset" and "fear" I mean something significant - you ought to be upset about it enough to be still upset a year later. "Could have paid for the video card" is not sufficiently upset. "Could have bought a car" would be if you couldn't afford a car to start with. Whatever it is that makes a difference in your life is where you start.

And on the upper end I am restricting myself with "diminishing marginal utility of money" (aka FU money). The range between "too little" and "FU money" is quite narrow, logarithmically speaking.

Let's say that the lower boundary is $100k and FU money is $20m, and same starting conditions as before. 12 iterations would give me $9.7m in cash plus $13m in BTC [2000(3/4)^1250*2^12].

I admit I have deviated from my original "sizable fraction" statement, and I no longer believe in it. But having shifted the goal posts I proclaim these new ones are better - just as satisfying, but a lot more achievable.

I am not sure how you got that out of my comment... you created a rather unfortunate strawman of my comment and are calling me sexist and racist? That hurts. Are you going to call me republican next?! Because that’s where i draw the line.

I have worked in high tech for 20 years: biotech, a PhD @ Carnegie Mellon, NASA, some startups, back to biotech... I have worked with so many awesome people of all walks of life that notions of gender or racial superiority are long gone. Quite the opposite, i have experienced the tremendous benefit that usually arises with diverse teams: deeper group experience, less competition and more cohesion, stronger friendships and sense of connection, diverse technical experience and interest, really different and novel ways of approaching problems and developing solutions (things that blew my fragile little mind), etc.
I'm not sure how being related to GDPR somehow makes them okay? It's still a crappy experience.
The govt shouldn't mandate what exact steps companies must take to be secure, because as you say it's woefully behind the time usually. But it should heavily punish security failures. Companies can choose whatever method they want to keep customer data safe, but if they fail there will be hell to pay. That would be the ideal system as far as I can see

Ask HN: Would you be interested in training as a service?
I am a trainer with over 15 years of experience, both in the corporate world and in various startup environments. I was inspired by Many Pixels and their journey of offering design as a productized service so I am thinking of trying it out for training.

The idea is that we would help you: 1) consolidate information across your various processes and teams, 2) build materials that easily lay out the information in an engaging way, 3) conduct the training, & 4) have a feedback mechanism in place to ensure the material is continuously updated on an ongoing basis with testing methods to ensure that knowledge is actually retained.

Before I go out to build this product, I would love your feedback. If you are part of a startup or a company, is this a service you would use? If so, how much would you be willing to pay for something like this? What would you need it to include?

Thanks in advance!

> Flying cars will always be less efficient (and thus, more expensive) than driving cars due to the physics of it.

As it stands, for cars, the typical energy use is 3k-4k BTU per passenger mile. Commercial airliners use 2k-3k BTU per passenger mile. Of course those get their efficiency from packing more passengers in. But the point being that a statement like the above only makes sense when comparing comparable vehicles (the bad numbers for cars is in part because cars on average have less than 2 people in them; fill a car up, and it will do better per person than a typical plane).

However the best reported numbers I've found from test flights of electric planes is energy use as low as below 1300 BTU per mile (these numbers will also vary wildly by number of people; most prototype models in progress are for 2 people, including Lilium, though their next version will be a five seater).

Part of this is due to totally different design constraints. Of the 12 in-progress models I'm aware of, the heaviest is about 1/4th the weight of the lightest Tesla. The lightest is about 1/6th the weight of the lightest Tesla. E.g. the two-person version of the Lilium was 400kg without passengers.

Part of this again is that the cost of purchase vs. cost of operation calculations are entirely different: Most of these are designed for the hire operator market or as luxury items, and they're not even possible if they weigh too much, so much more money gets spent on expensive materials to push weight down. Their assumption is that they'll get the operational costs down far enough to amortise the increased finance costs of buying it.
> But apple does keep logs and telemetry of performance and crashes and uses that to improve it's products.

Sure, but do they claim copyright on that? Am I not allowed to paste a log online?

... and those directly expose proprietary information.

How would copyrighting that information make any difference? As long as competitors can get to your logs (which is orthogonal to whether they hold a copyright) the copyright doesn't stop them from gaining that understanding. They could even publicly disclose their understanding.

Just encrypt the logs. Then no one will get at them and even if they manage to the act of decrypting them is illegal in most places so they probably won't publish it. And even if they do that it will be from one car, not a whole fleet.

Maybe I just don't understand copyright.
If I as an owner sign an agreement to sell my soul when driving my car that doesn't automatically transfer to anyone else driving the car.

At the moment anyone who finishes a challenge can post in the Slack community for others to see and comment on. The next stage will be to build out a web app where users can submit solutions for others to view and comment on.

The problem with including a solution is that I don't want it to become a crutch. It would be too easy for people to just look at the solution when they hit an issue, instead of debugging and asking questions. My aim for the challenges is for people to learn by using a real-life workflow, so having a solution available doesn't feed into that.

Perhaps when the web app is up there could be some notion of "Done", at which point a solution would be made available.

I'm open to ideas on this, because I've been going over it a lot and talking to users and still not found a good path.

Let's say I flipped two coins. I tell you I did this. You ask me, "Did heads come up at least once?" I answer yes.

What are the odds that the other coin was tails? 2/3, because there are three scenarios (HH, HT, TH) that satisfy my first answer to you.

If you flip a pair of coins a few thousand times, and search the flip pairs for all the ones that had a heads among them, you'll find a tails in those pairs 2/3 of the time, and a pair of heads 1/3 of the time.

Same with the girl-boy problem.

Now if you ask me if the left coin came up heads—and I say yes—that doesn't give you any information whatsoever on the right coin. And if you search through the thousands of pair flips looking for an "H" in the left column, the right column will 50/50 have an H or a T.
Hello, I'm the original author of CSV 1.1.

There are no problems :-). You're making up things / problems.

Nowhere says it that the header row is removed. You CANNOT auto-detect a header, you have to tell your parser (see the csvreader library as an example - https://github.com/csv11/csvreader - from my humble self.) if you have a header or not (it's optional).

If Spaces matter! but them in quotes. By default you don't need quotes (and, thus, discouraged).

> You haven't solved the problem of describing
> what the columns are

That is solved / done by a schema with a (tabular) datapackage, see https://github.com/csv11/csvpack as a real-world example how that works in practice or use csvrecord, see https://github.com/csv11/csvrecord
Because if you select a random family from the set of familes with two children, the 4 permutations (BB,BG,GB,GG) are equally likely, at 25% each, so it's the simplest way to model it. If you model it in your way with 3 possible scenarios you'll find that the probabilities are BB: 25%, one of each: 50%, GG: 25%, and dealing with those differing probabilities is harder than just splitung the one of each scenario into two.

Try it with 2 coins flipped at the same time and you'll see it's the case. You'll get 2 unmatching coins about twice as often as you get either HH or TT.
Very indirect. They have requirements for driver's licenses being used as IDs for federal purposes. (Which is actually not unreasonable although we got by without doing so for many years.)

The issue of course is that their driver's license is the only government-issued photo ID they possess so if they want to fly or enter a federal building without a driver's license, they would need to get a federal ID such as a passport issued which has both monetary and time costs. (And isn't available for everyone.)
Ask HN: I've made some it projects. What to do next?
Hi everybody
I made in last couple of years some projects to manage hardware in clusters and have no idea what could I make with it next. Unfortunately area of users is very narrow. One of this projects is iaas cloud, so installation requires a lot of experience and hardware, second is framework for decentralised applications in c++.

First project from the beginning was open source and it had some interest around, from users, but very low. Only advantage which I see as OS is that it was much easier easier to get appointments for conferences, as free software. I'm wondering about making second project open source - what do you think, is it worth? Now it is closed source free for use library in c.

I know that I can invest in some ads again, to promote it, but my experience says that in such narrow area it is not worth. Maybe you have some other ideas what to do with such projects to make some society around it? Years ago usenet was proper place, and what is now?

The problem with fines as an enforcement mechanism is that incidents are rare and big.

Fines work when they are assured, fast, and high. But because the incident that triggers fines is not the actual behaviour, but only its later consequences, it's too easy to put off security "for some other time".

It's like a single superhero randomly killing shoplifters every few months: the penalty is far disproportionate, yet the policy is still not going to stop anyone.
You should contact them and offer them to license your code to them and negotiate on a price, since they are already using it. You could also be proactive about it if you are interested in collaborating with them to continue improving on that library for a salary, since you are the author and the one with the know-how of things. People can be reasonable, try the respectful and honest approach first. They probably missed the fact that the code didn't come with a permissive license and they just added it by mistake. It can happen and doesn't necessarily mean they were being malicious so they'll be willing to make a deal with you.

> Regulations do not make problems disappear but make the situation better.

I also work in banking (major financial hub in Europe). Regulation is the bane of security and data management because it adds several layers of complexity on top of already complex processes. It leads to people performing repetitive tasks to comply with regulation, leaving no time for in-depth analyses, process reviews and enhancements, and the clean-up of sensitive data.

You provide a baseless assertion shoehorned with a comparison to lobbyists nobody ever brought up. I can't prove a negative but you sure didn't prove your positive.

As someone with relatives who live and work in the KSA as expats, the perception that Americans and the world has about KSA is pretty much on point. It’s a country ruled by a brutal kleptocractic family, which uses a particularly ultra conservative strain of Islam (Wahabisim) to keep themselves and their elite cronies in power.
For various reasons I don’t know my full genetic background, yet I have always known my family: it’s the people who raised me. I would never consider a genetically related stranger to be family, nor would I be interested in getting to know them.

Always be your children’s true family and help them build a conception of themselves and where they come from that far transcends genetics. Their creation shows that they were truly wanted and was just the first expression you and your wife’s pure love for them
I'm not sure that small '3M' company is that tightly bound to Apple stock.

Joking aside, a lot of the supplier listed her don't seem to be the main branch, but the exact branch supplying Apple. So the company stock should really not be that tied to a specific vendor.

In particular considering that if something were to happen to Apple, any other hardware manufacturer could take the opportunity to contract them, making it neutral.

Hi everyone. I’m working on a new project - Not sure whether this idea has any real business potential. I just want to take the plunge and find out. Open to all kinds of feedback… roast me if you like!

Reading/listening/viewing freely available content on the web is useful. However, it can be time consuming. The pain I’m trying to solve is to eliminate unnecessary time wasted in searching the web for learning resources.

For a small subscription fee I plan to provide a monthly digest of custom-tailored curated learning resources that help you focus, learn, and broaden your knowledge within specific sub-areas of product development/management.

Every 3 months paying users will be asked to choose 3-5 focus areas within the software development/product management context. We‘ll then send them 100+ personalized curated learning resources (best content with actionable steps from blog-posts, discussions, podcasts & videos) each month on the chosen topics. At the end of every 3 months the user would be able to choose different sub-topics or continue with the same.

The monthly digest would include articles, discussions, podcasts and videos related to:

.. Broad topics: Product Development, Product Management, People Management, Stakeholder Management, Leadership, Recruitment, etc.
.. Specific topics: Managing Remote Teams, Code Review, Delegation, Legacy Code Management, Project Reporting, Decision Making, etc.

What do you think? Thank you very much, I hope to find some useful feedback.
