:( What can I do with my desktop? Replacing my nvidia card is hardly an option but I want Sway.
The story of what causes ulcers is truly crazy. Sounds like something from decades ago. Hard to believe we were that stubborn.

And that is a full field of hard working individuals. I'm almost scared to think what my own biases are. I wish there was a solid framework to approach them, since I think most are basically invisible to the holder.
Hi, Thanks for this idea, This was in my mind too, I will open a issue and try to incorporate this.
So presumably you're going to provide us a list with human rights activists who have been killed in the same way? That said, I don't see what you're arguing here. Is there any doubt that the murders of well-known people get more attention than murders of less-known people? And when a well-known someone is brazenly murdered in connection to the reason he was well-known, that the fame effect is amplified? What's your point?
“Dairy farmers are free-market guys—they don’t want to be told how much to produce,”

Sounds like a contradiction - if no one else, free-market will tell you how much to produce. Does not look like farmers are listening.
Thanks for your response, I kept checking this article/thread over and over again during the last day or two because I am precisely afraid of a world were our lives are "mandated" at a 100% before we're even born -I don't claim that genetics don't matter, I've always thought (even before I understood more and more the scientific literature on the subjects) that it's roughly 50% 50% in environment vs genetics, but the fact that "genetics" can be used to justify our political order and worldwide not for 100% of humanity but for only a certain percentage of it, say the rich or whatever, like it's happening here in HN en masse and like you correctly said that " Throw in the casual attacks on public education at all levels, and implications that we should bow down to a Calvinist tyranny of genetics," and I really have to wonder what is going on here.".

I'd be delighted to read an expanded response in regard to this subject by you :)

Edit: I like to treat this particular subject as dealing with the development of nuclear bomb. You cannot just say "oh, I am just researching this for the sake of science" when you clearly know that once you have that nuclear bomb and can put it to use, you can change the whole world.

It certainly sent my geo-data outside of my phone where it was reversely geo-located to the name of the coffee shop, there’s no info on my phone alone matching the name of the coffee shop to its geo-location.
Hi, Nice list of ideas I can implement. Thanks!
I like living in LA. The weather is what I like best. I would be miserable anywhere it rains or snows. I like the freedom of driving so public transportation isn't an issue for me. Neither is rent or health insurance...I own a house and my wife is a nurse (we get platinum insurance through her hospital).
GDI is still heavily used by most programs that use the Win32 API and all native controls are implemented using it.
The city sent him a link with the intention he would download it, and he did. There's no crime there.

Having legally downloaded the data he looked at it. There's no crime there either.
It sounds like these dairy subsidies fluctuate greatly.

In 2016, the dairy industry asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for a staggering $150 million to buy their excess cheese. A spokesperson for the National Farmers Union said they were disappointed to receive “only” $20 million. [0]

And according to this 600 page Canadian report, indirect subsidies are also a huge factor and contribute to 73 percent of producer returns coming from subsidies. [1]

The American government contributed around $22.2 billion in direct and indirect subsidies to the dairy sector in 2015.

It's not strange, I too send my cc number and personal information through email because I consider the risk is sufficiently small. Likewise I told people who want to send me these information to just use email
X.509 CA’s are problematic precisely because any one of them, no matter how sketchy, can issue certificates for any name. DNSSEC does not have that problem: TLD’s in DNSSEC are restricted to their TLD, and you can decide yourself if you trust the domains in the hypothetical “.sketchy” TLD to be properly DNSSEC signed.

It was a response to mirkules's fear that this might be a big target and your response on that, that according to Elcomsoft, the sum of changes would make this a weaker target. This is false. While you can probably always find a scenario or edge case where it would not be strictly false, in general and within the threat model of 99.99999% of the users, it is still false.

You can use the nouveau driver, which is supported and works well. Or you could sell your card and get an AMD one. If not, there's nothing wrong with sticking to i3+X11 until a more convenient time.

Does a proof exist that these are the only three of such objects?
We had to start everything over again from scratch on Wayland. It's not novel for Linux desktops in general, but it is novel for Wayland.
The smug tone of the paid (with his taxes) government employees combined with their utter incompetence seems more inappropriate.

I find it constructive in that once again it is demonstrated that the narrative that we're governed by rational, competent people and that we should trust and respect our government is very much a mirage, and the 180 turn in the tone of discussions suggests managerial malice running on top of the front line bureaucratic incompetence.
The code shipped with an application 'Interactive Live' which builds on FFdynamic. It shows how concise code could be, when we can make audio/video process in a compositional way, to do dynamically add input streams, add new output streams(with different resolution and codec settings), layout update, etc..
I work in public sector digitisation. We’ve spent a lot of money on blockchain proof of concepts, sales meetings and general hype. My colleagues in banking have spent even more.

All those resources have been a complete waste so far, and they’ve entirely been spent on blockchain because of hype. That is extremely bad, because all those resources could have been thrown at something useful.

For whatever reason blockchain has been extremely resilient to reality. It’s almost been a decade, and we’ve yet to see anything purposeful come our way. It’s still on Gartners list for 2019 though, so I guess we’ll spent another year burning money.
Check out waymonad, it uses the same underlying technology which powers sway:

Unfortunately that's the world we live in. You can either keep your nvidia card and have the best hardware, or you can vote with your wallet and have a lack-luster experience. Pretty much been the story of using Linux Desktop for a long time.

tl;dr Vancouver is undergoing wrenching changes due to unfathomable amounts of Chinese money. This is inflamed by British Columbia's surprisingly lax approach to financial transparency in foreign investment and liberal immigration laws. It has priced locals right out of the market, though recent changes in tax structure are cooling down real estate investment.

Article doesn't do a good job of covering "little thirds", mistresses who are settled there with an apartment and allowance, or of unaccompanied "college students" who spend way more time vlogging than studying. Anecdotally a shitload of people following those descriptions have been shipped in, an influx that has slowed drastically with real estate taxes meant to punish this behavior.

The city of Richmond just south of Vancouver is mentioned but its import is arguably understated by the article. It's a fascinating place, and Richomond's "night market" (sort of a combination fair midway/flea market) is an electric experience soon to be imported to Silicon Valley, where it will be a huge hit.

Westerners generally speaking have absolutely no clue about the importance of a stable currency, which implies a stable political system, a nation that respects rule of law, and a notion of property rights. This leaves only a few countries, namely the US, the UK, and a couple of Western European nations. Wealthy Chinese absolutely do, and they are scared out of their minds that the tyrannical regime there will separate them from their assets. These people remember the Cultural Revolution. So the West is the first resort for relatively safe storage of their often questionably-gotten cash. (More adventurous/volatile places to invest, like Africa, are riskier but often have a higher upside.)

Because I apparently hate good karma I will observe that we used to love going to Vancouver, especially the weeklong jazz festival, but we don't any longer. Like Seattle, the fun places to walk have largely been overrun by street people who use hard drugs and leave needles around. None appear to be Asian.
We don't show favoritism to any downstream distros, so sway packages for any particular distro are maintained by users of that distribution. Unfortunately, the state of the Ubuntu port isn't great, this would be a great place for you to volunteer as a representative of your distro :)

I would also like to hear more detail about where you ran into issues with the source installation instructions.
I have done this several times now. CSV just plain sucks.

1. Rip all CSV data into SQLite or another tabular database

2. Do all data manipulations by shifting information between the database and memory. Ideally you pull entire columns at a time. 95% of your runtime is going to be spent pulling and pushing data, so minimize the number of calls however possible.

3. Export the database to CSV and ship it back to the customer.

If you use a particular language a lot, it is worth it to write a text scanner that uses low level APIs to read large CSV files quickly. I usually pipe a million characters at a time, submit most of them to the database, the duct tape the last few characters to the next million that I pull.
I call that nag in nowadays. Pretty common, and sad to say very effective.
Note that the only hypervisor which is supported by sway is qemu.
Multiple mice was supported by the Amiga. IIRC the Amiga version of Lemmings utilized it for two-player mode.
It was big in the 70s. I enjoy cheese fondue and raclette.
Yes, exactly the same for Russians. We do ask too, but genuinely and usually only our close friends and family.
Sway isn't really an entry-level Linux desktop, though you're welcome to try. RebeccahBlackOS comes with it pre-installed, but it's more of a demo distro than one which is usable in the long-term.

To play devils advocate: if every feature request had to be thoroughly discussed you’d never get anywhere.. the onus should be on the proposer.

That said, you can always file an issue in github and have a discussion there. For Haxe it’s a very active location for discussion there.
> Hype can be bad, but if there is value there the hype cycle does wear down

That is, if something called the "Hype Cycle" even exists. The Hype Cycle is a canonical example of survivorship bias and post hoc rationalization [0]. It is pretty much a compelling narrative not a reflection of technological evolution.

I wonder how much of a race to the bottom will come out of this for employees. Neither Amazon nor Walmart are known for being good places to work at or for not trying to crush out their employees any chance they get (liberal contractor hires rather than employees, crushing attempts to unionize...)
I'm a little saner now, having figured out how to restore my contacts and having determined that all of my text messages were not included in the backup. (And therefore determining that the expiration date is not for text message data, which I had wanted to preserve.)

... Browsing through the data on google drive, it would appear that all that is really backed up is configuration for specific apps. I'm figuring that the configuration could be device specific, in the same way that apps could be device specific, and that is why it is not directly available to the customer -- that is, despite having the appearance that it is safe within reach in the google drive, it is actually a special folder that is useful only as long as you have the same device (I'm theorizing IMEI number and phone number.) In my case, both of these changed for me. So, it's not really a backup that could be restored at any time, and it shouldn't be relied upon in that way.

... What I was really looking for (after the text messages themselves) were my contacts. It turns out that those are synced into the google account. Google-FI and Verizon both knew so little about how this backup feature worked, however, that they were unable to see far enough into my issue to be able to help me. In retrospect, this is sort of understandable -- it would be the android developers that would know, and they may not speak to the Google-FI staff.

... I'll keep that in mind with my next setup.

... Just figured that I'd share this, in case someone like me came looking for it later.
> I think there's a rather big difference between myths and things we don't know with absolute certainty.

Except when we have a preponderance of evidence indicating otherwise. Your claim is akin to someone claiming that the pinky was evolved to pick your ear and your index finger to pick your nose. We have preponderance of evidence indicating otherwise, but it's nearly impossible to prove it with absolute certainty.

If your myth was true, then there is no benefit to the penis shape. The only benefit is have sex last in orgies. That's not how human mating happens. Ever.

> Assuming that is true then there isn't really any downside to scooping out your own old semen if you only do it in situations where you're just going to make a fresh deposit 30 seconds later.

It's a bit of a downside. There certainly isn't any upside.

> By polygamy I think you specifically mean polygyny?

Obviously because polyandry hardly exists.

> Because polyandry sounds like the kind of situation where the sperm scooping would be pretty effective.

Except polyandry is practically nonexistent and in a few fringe communities it exists, the woman isn't engaging in orgies. The dominant form of mating is monogamy with a small bit of polygamy.

> So it sounds to me that although women in their late twenties are slightly less likely to get pregnant on any given menstrual cycle than women in their early twenties, the effect does not seem to significantly affect their odds of procreating.

I didn't say women in their thirties couldn't procreate. I said it was more difficult.

> But since we're linking studies, I would like to refer to some research by the CDC [1] that shows that infant mortality is lowest for mothers between the ages of 30 and 34 (inclusive),

And? Infant mortality is lower for wealthier fathers and mothers too. What does that matter in biological terms?

> Regardless, based on the data I don't think it's self-evident that the best time for women to procreate is between the ages of 19 and 26.

It isn't a matter of debate. It's a matter of science. Biologically that's a woman's prime reproductive years. Societally, things might be different.

> I suspect a 30 year old women may have the advantage over one 10 years her junior in that particular department.

Which has nothing to do with biology. And this is also why historically, women married established men 10 to 20 years older with the means to provide.

But my point was, biologically, women's prime birthing years are 19-26 or around that time range. It's science and biology. You are arguing about society. Which I wasn't.

This is hilarious and completely nails a former coworker and engineering manager of mine. Morbidly afraid of paying $10 for any service.
How do you add "Beto was a sadistic monster" and have it seem neutral? Factual and objective, but I'm sure it would not be accepted.
I still see Siri in the “maybe someday” category. I don’t have Siri turned on, but my wife does. I hear her talking to it to mostly look up measurement conversions and such.

An anecdote of my favorite Siri incident. One night a couple weeks ago, we had an abundance of dragonflies in our yard. I said that they were there because they are bugs and it was the right time of day for that. She thought dragonflies ate something else, so she asked Siri, “what do dragonflies eat?”

Siri told us that we should consult a local zoologist before attempting to care for wild animals.
Voter roll purges are under way in certain states to consolidate Republican control, especially Georgia.
Cheap founders. They'd expect everyone to work 10h a day including weekends but wouldn't even fix or replace broken equipment, wouldn't pay market salaries, or buy the services needed to achieve their "vision" (servers, licenses...)

It worked for them apparently because engineers seem to love being treated like crap, they sold the company a few years ago to a large brand and a lot of key engineers are still there.

I think you have the concepts upside down here. Safe food is safe even without FDA approval, it is even safe if the FDA explicitly rejects it (e.g. for political reasons or by mistake). Safety is not something granted by a bureaucracy but by the laws of nature.

This article merely explains that a new strain of cotton has been developed that does not have the qualities that typically make cottonseed poisonous.

FDA approval is still needed, but that doesn’t make the article a lie.

Your list resonates with me on all points. Sadly, it seems that due to scarcity in the market some engineers are acting like self entitled, spoiled babies. The arrogant/know-it-all streak on topics way outside their area is also pretty pervasive. It changes with age though. I was like this 10 years ago to some degree. You mellow out over the years.
> somewhat weak RSA key

2048-bit RSA is “weak”? If I understand things correctly, 2048-bit keys are considered safe for more than ten years still, and the design of DNSSEC is such that the root keys can be rolled over at any time, so when the time comes, the key can simply be substitued for a stronger one.

And the comparison with X.509 is unsuitable. The DNSSEC root key could be compromised? How about the fact that if any CA loses its key, the entire X.509 system is vulnerable until that key can be revoked by every single end user?
I've been saying this for years. Fries with gravy and cheese is delicious, and cheese fries are already popular in America. Big chains like McD and BK sell poutine in Canada, so why haven't they experimented in an American city with many Canadian tourists, like Bellingham?
They are pretty well known for their fish and chips, yes.

In no particular order, Whitby is famous for

1) Jet. A black stone. Fossilized Monkey Puzzle sap. Popular for jewellery in Victorian times with the fashion for having a dead husband.
2) Fish and Chips. Although not really any better than any other seaside town.
3) Dracula landed there.
4) The Abbey, perhaps because of Dracula
5) Whale bone arch
6) Captain Cook

Pretty at some angles. Typical UK seaside of shitty amusement arcades and shops selling junk made out of shells from China from other angles.

Worth a day trip. I think most visitors go away remembering the steps...
Didn’t read the article. Just saw the “Bloomberg” in parentheses and thought “ah some reporter at Bloomberg is trying to get his yearly bonus by moving the dairy market.”

Which is irrational and silly. But it’s amazing the way something like the controversy around “The Big Hack” brews suspicion.
Cheer up! Take a break from the news, read Factfulness by Hans Rosling and realise it's not all so bad.
Ask HN: Interior decoration with 19“ racks?
I'm a huge fan of intermodal things, and a thought just struck me. Would it be possible to design your living space in terms of the 19" rack?

Things like shelving, wardrobes, power strips, monitors, home audio and whatnot are fairly obvious and doable already, although expensive.

But would it make sense to have a rack mount dishwasher? Oven? Tumbler?

To me, the possibilities seem endless, but perhaps there's a reason other than anesthetics preventing this. Anyone had similar thoughts?
Brain cell deterioration is a symptom of Alzheimer's disease, i.e. it brain damage is the effect of the disease, not the cause. What causes that deterioration is up for debate. Finding that cause is integral for better treatment and hopefully prevention and a cure.
