These may be great. I see a number of immediate uses for these, if I had them.

Reading books or emails while on a train, without having to hold anything in my hands. Maybe even watching videos that I never have time to watch.

Walking with a map in my FOV, without having to consult a phone.

Taking phone calls, since it has a mic.

It has a remote control, though a limited one, it seemingly allows for operation without taking your hand to your face; you can keep your hands in your pockets in cold weather.

So it's ok to screw over customers as long as you apologize after they find out?
you are conflating history with sexism/racism, though they overlap. "Computer" was essentially a "technician" who performed calculations, as today you'd have a technician to install parts in your machines or do other mechanistic tasks in an operation. It's not so unusual for a word that refers to a human job eventually becomes the name for the machine that replaces that job: dishwasher, messenger, agent. "computer" happens to be the job that is so easy to mechanise cheaply that the human job was made quickly obsolete once the opportunity arose.

The term "Computer" long predated mechanical computers, by centuries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_computer
The earliest "computer" jobs tended to exclude women due to sexism.

This photo shows an example of a human computer team that is mostly men (but may have a higher proportion of women than other technical teams in the larger organization)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_computer#/media/File:NAS...

You're more likely to find women and PoC in "computer roles" than in scientist/engineer roles because they tended to be shut out from higher-level roles they may have been qualified for, leading to an oversupply of their demographic at the lower levels. And those overqualified women/PoC have more notable stories than the non-overqualified women and men in those roles.
Do you suggest that we appeal to tradition instead of practical considerations?
You can buy a reliable ten year old Toyota Corolla for less than $2k, it will run for at least another ten years with nothing more than basic maintenance, and the income area you live in doesn't affect liability insurance in any appreciable way as you don't need full coverage on the vehicle (you'd pay more than the cost of the vehicle for it over a few years anyway).
Which is what is happening today. It's just not efficient enough yet. The mistake made by the algo is reported by the uploader. It then takes (too much) time to be handled by a human.
> In the former scenario, the host provides things that look like CPUs, NICs and things that look like block devices, with no high-level abstractions (e.g. threads, sockets, and filesystems).

To add to this, with the approach we're taking with Solo5 [1], hardware virtualization is only used as one possible sandbox/isolation mechanism. If you look into the code, you'll find that the abstractions presented to the unikernel by the hvt tender are much thinner than those presented to a guest OS by a traditional VMM (e.g. KVM/QEMU).

Yes. The pictures look strange indeed.
I've used both Thales nShield and Bull Proteccio models at my previous work.

Both are priced in the five figure euros/dollars range for any reasonable operational setup.

(In the sense that you need at least a production HSM and an additional machine to be able to react quickly to incidents and experiment with).

The YubiHSM v2 seems very promising to me too, but the thing you have to understand with HSMs is that their certifications are often as important, or even more important, than their actual security.

(Usually you use HSMs because you legally have to and not just for fun)

In that regard, both the nShield and the Proteccio are qualified at Level 3 of FIPS 140-2. This is a very expensive qualification to pass and the investment is reflected back in the price of those products.

Yubico does not advertise any qualification level for the YubiHSM 2, therefore I infer they did not pass any certification process. Hence I feel they will target a different market than Thales and Bull.

(People wanting more security but without needing certifications)

A 650$ FIPS level 3, eIDAS qualified HSM would be groundbreaking. As certification processes are quite political, I'm not even sure it would be possible as it would basically decimate current HSMs vendors.

Let's hope the YubiHSM v3 could be that though ? :)
I've read not too long ago that Google glass version 2.0, or enterprise edition, was actually having some decent success/traction among workers.

Cocaine Deaths Hit Record in U.S. As Opioid Overdoses Level Off
Very well done. In a personal or online conversation, it takes a little while to explain how bad things can be for the poorer people and how it’s a vicious circle (or like struggling in quicksand). Many people don't get this without an explanation.

A couple of suggestions:

1. The Facebook and Twitter icons were too close to the last choice on the screens, and I ended up tapping on them when I intended to tap on the last option. This was on a phone. Please move those buttons down a bit.

2. The site didn’t work on Firefox Focus onnthe phone. But it did work on Brave. Something about Firefox Focus’s blocking must’ve caused this. I didn’t have time to figure out the issue.
Agreed. Off-by-one often shows up when calculating indexes e.g. differences in indexes or offsets. These calculations are independent of the base of the index (0 or 1 or even N).
I tune in - to whatever I was listening to on my phone the last time. I do that using my big noise canceling phones and it works great. My question therefore is: what could radio offer me, at all?
That's like saying "what is my ip address" sites can be faked by using a VPN.

It's for non technical people.

Ask HN: Should I stay or should I go?
I started a company with a friend. The friend is good at sales but not technical and bad at cost control.

Long story short the company lost a ton of money and now is pivoting to some software that I wrote. My issue is that the investors owe me 130k in back pay (almost 1.5 years worth) and are blaming me for my partner's cash burn. Despite this it looks like by end of month we will have raised 2 million additional investment based on my software and partnerships I signed.

I don't really believe the company can pivot because there are only a couple of technical people: myself, a dev I hired and a couple of part time outsourced devs I manage (all in low cost jurisdictions). I am working only part time until they settle the back pay stuff. I am not the highest paid person and others did get paid. I am just associated with my friend who burned the cash (he also got paid more than me). Also the investors given me any warrants that were promised.

I am working part time on a second startup. 2 investors I ran into offered me 500k to launch it. Should I jump? Or do both?

I need someone to work with... and almost every company needs sales guys. Maybe hire my friend?

It was disabled for Spectre safety reasons, but it can be re-enabled by navigating to "about:config", searching for "javascript.options.shared_memory" and toggling it to enabled. (But it was obviously disabled for good reason, so might want to enable it temporarily)

1976 was about the time that Commodore made scientific calculators cheap (under $100). Around that time, I remember a Faber-Castell slide rule (a typical engineering-grade device with fine engravings and a cursor that was actually perpendicular to the rule) costing about $30 - and that still left you with three-and-a-bit significant figures, an adding machine for sums and the need to use trig tables. That's pretty much when the student market went away, and anyone who was using alide rules and calculators to make money had little trouble justifying an HP or a TI.

I admire your mission and understand your approach.

My only comment for what it's worth is that you may want to pursue a different path for these historical records. Using FOIL to access archival records is not a cost-efficient strategy for any stakeholder.

In my opinion, as an observer with no skin in the game is that investing the legal resources you have and working with someone like the library association to lobby the legislature to fund digitization would perhaps be a more productive avenue.

When I look at your website, and find the headline "CORRUPTION'S SUCH AN OLD SONG THAT WE CAN SING ALONG IN HARMONY, AND NOWHERE IS IT STRONGER THAN IN ALBANY" with respect to the city clerk office in a tiny place like Albany, NY. I take pause when I see that.

A handful of old ladies processing dog licenses in a broke upstate city isn't clutching to old death records to help big companies, particularly for data they may not even possess. Albany is not NYC, and the approach your org seems to take is like bringing a stereotype to life.
There’s some reason for this in the US:

- It is illegal to bestow legal advice without being a lawyer.

- A lawyer who provides legal advice without a pre-existing relationship could be seen by the court as now acting and thus becoming a person’s lawyer, unwillingly.

The former case is silly and nobody is going to be checking the bar membership of same rando on the internet. The latter case is a legit worry among lawyers.
CodeWeavers Has Released CrossOver 18.0.0 for Linux and MacOS
An interesting thing I came across writing this: the top writers, Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, were showrunners for seasons 7 and 8, immediately stepping down after as:

show]." Oakley said: "We always said we'd never do a

> To speak authoritatively of "Christian theology" in the context of music in any meaningful sense, a "vote" needs to be given to every generation of Christians, not just the current one.

Definitely, but we also need to consider that before the industrial revolution, Christians were limited in their options (most folks were very poor by modern standards, there isn't much diversity in music in general, and there is a comparatively narrow [and at various times, more corrupt] group of people making decisions on theology and music). So we need to consider history, but we don't weight all history evenly--there is such a thing as 'progress', after all.
With the larger churches you can get more people showing up so that can be good, but it depends how it's run.

There are some that break down every non-Sunday-sermon level thing into a "small group" level of organization, and the quality varies by who leads. They also could have more budget to do better trips or activities.

Smaller venues trade population for intimacy. More one on one time to invest.

When you get down to it, my (albeit limited) experience has been the size doesn't matter as much as the people involved. Hopefully that helps!

> Will I still have that job that allows me to pay my bills? Will I have been bankrupted by an acute medical issue, because I lost my health insurance at a critical moment?

There is always some uncertainty in life. And yet, we're somehoe able to make decisions despite this uncertainty. However, you take this uncertainty argument to absurd levels - by your logic, no human being should be expected to be responsible for any life decision, ever, because uncertainty.

How about we just presume that having a child without a good, reliable job and some sort of partner (not neccesarilly a heterosexual or even romantic one) it plain stupid?

> Is it going to make their lives better? Is it going to help the kids?

When you shame someone for bad decision, the purpose is not to influence these exact people. The purpose is to create a strong understanding in the whole culture that this is a bad decision, and prevent other people from doing the same.

People do car-sharing in the US? I've seen many countries where cars only drive their driver on the way to work.
Growing up at a time B.C. (before calculators), we learned to use the slide rule in high school trig. I also used it during my freshman year in college. My dad bought me a Pickett trig slide rule that I still have in a drawer at home. I've taken it out occasionally to play with and I am always impressed by how simple and yet powerful it is. Very elegant. Very dated.
Why is it so many otherwise bright-enough individuals persist in the dogma that any single integer can meaningfully aggregate all the vastly diverse skills of a human brain -- when they would hesitate to do the same with an object as simple as a bottle of red wine?

This remains to me a deep mystery of human psychology, one I've pondered off and on for some years now.

That is not how evolution works. You want more mixing to increase fitness, not less. Small, isolated populations are notorious for harboring deleterious genetic variants that decrease overall fitness.

The US still has some great engineering projects happening, we just don't have the political climate to celebrate them, and to some extent have simply grown used to them/stopped seeing the wonder in them.

(A small, unusual benefit of being in a primarily civil engineering company is seeing a weekly email from a US manager celebrating all the cool projects around the world, but especially in the US, the company is contributing to.)

The World's Fair still exists, but maybe it has been far too long since the US has hosted one outside of Epcot's attempt to be a permanent one. Generating some fresh "gee whiz, engineering" excitement seems like a good idea this decade.
