>Why would a consumer spend $1500 on a laptop that they use 1-2 hours a day, compared to a phone they use 8 hours a day and is always with them? I'd argue that we are already at the point where most consumers aren't even at the point of considering traditional "computers" in their decisions.

I think as long as you act primarily as a _consumer_ of other people's content, this is accurate. As soon as you want to _create_ media of your own in any significant way, you then need a keyboard, a larger screen, a decent pointing device, etc. (maybe not all of the above for a particular creative endeavor, but these sorts of things).

The question then is, what percentage of people create enough to need creative devices, and what percentage are happy just being consumers? I think Apple is focusing on the creatives.
How I Discovered That C# SortedList Uses Binary Search, and Why You Should Care
Thanks. I did not know they apologized for stiffling the FLOSS effort.

I've never seen such PR, but I will trust you on it.
>Any grounds to believe that?

Knowledge of history? The ability to think critically?
So you're right (and I forgot about it), cities have fought against Tesla but it was my understanding that the push for that was lobbying from the old-school car dealerships and car companies to keep things from changing that would negatively impact their businesses. I don't think most cities have a real dog in the fight and many would welcome new electric car service/business since it's mostly positives for them.

Am I wildly off here?
I exercise (cycling) minimum 3*1+ hour a week. Usually more. Not much of a swimmer though I do it sometimes. Haven't noticed it to provide any added benefit over other types of sports. Exercise is definitely part of any effective treatment program.

Kemp is the governor who oversaw the election in which he was subpoenaed and then suddenly the server and all backups were degaussed three times. And somehow the election wasn’t thrown out?

This is some serious banana republic garbage.
I'm a libertarian, and I believe in the free market above all else, so it's important to not regulate this, because whatever else happens will inevitably be worse.
I emigrated from America to the UK. Healthcare is the number one thing that would make me trepidatious about moving back, far ahead of the gun violence and even the general political lunacy.
This is a fairly recent and controversial change to the word. It was updated officially in the dictionary after people kept misusing the word. So now it means both literally and the complete opposite of literally.
I spent a lot of time this year looking at ssds with encryption support. I’ve come to the conclusion that what is really needed is to separate the crypto hardware from the storage. Make a 2.5” drive sled for example that takes any m.2 and adds cryto to it. Then you can choose the best supplier for both crypto and flash independently.

> Throughout this thread you've been very creative in pissing people off.

I haven't pissed anyone off. I'm presenting and substantiating an ethical worldview based on the minimization of suffering, and deconstructing the unethical worldview based on the maximization of free speech.

> Don't assume malice in other people's positions, it's uncouth.

I'm not assuming anything about intent, I'm speaking directly to consequence. When you write

> But you wouldn't want other parties, who clearly don't know how to "minimize suffering" properly, minimize your ability to proselytize on HN and elsewhere how to truly minimize suffering. So why should we let you minimize our ability to spread our views on that, as clearly we don't all agree that you know much about minimizing suffering?

you are equivocating "[my] ability to proselytize [a worldview based on minimizing suffering] on HN and elsewhere" to someone else's "ability to spread" antisemitism, which is obviously and transparently disingenuous.
> “This is a win for San Francisco residents,” Herrera said. “Whether you’re a tenant or a landlord who has been following the law, this is a victory. This outcome frees up more homes for long-term tenants and stops unfair competition in the marketplace. The serious financial penalty is an important deterrent. It sends a clear message to those looking to illegally profit off of San Francisco’s housing crisis: Don’t try it. We will catch you. Most importantly, we preserved more than 45 housing units to be used as homes, not hotel rooms. We are fighting back against San Francisco’s housing crisis in every way possible.”

This city attorney seems... extra.

You know what else frees up more housing units? Letting people build housing does. You know who is responsible for the housing crisis? The city is.
Assuming the politics of Amazonians are reflected in this thread, I don’t want them in the red states.
I exercise. Actually AS makes it so I exercise less than I would like to. I love exercising and was competitive at an international level as a teenager. I won't take TNFα's. Seems to be worse for my body than the disease. I'm more interested in positive sum treatments.
While it's certainly ideal if everything is consensus driven, I have difficulty seeing that working here. Presumably the people serving these intrusive ads would disagree with any decision to get rid of them.
What was a high titer for you? I actually ordered myself an HHV-6 test and mine was around 16 or so. Also, your story is so familiar. So many attempted treatments and doctors. It's very difficult to find a legitimate doctor on the forefront of therapies like this that isn't a dangerous quack.

"Then the multiple allegations of rape were made. And it still didn't matter."

Do you think allegations should matter to the confirmation process?

If the allegations are substantiated well-enough, the DA of Maryland could still charge him, right?

The confirmation process does not seem like the right venue to seek justice for a crime like that.
Where ‘Yes to Affordable Groceries’ Really Means No to a Soda Tax
Hi mate. Sorry this was very complicated english for me, pls forgive me. I couldnt understand the topic. Did you get stem cell and greatly improved? Thanks
I would ask what’s the cost benefit ratio for defending against offline attacks with increasingly unpleasant password requirements versus things like increased KDF rounds, general server security improvements, and the defense in depth measures which increase the costs of actually profiting from a user account compromise.

I think we’ve historically been shaped by classic Unix crypt() memories where something couldn’t easily be fixed without breaking compatibility even though that era is largely in the past.
> How is de-platforming sites NOT censorship? And since you seem to want every registrar to join in the de-platforming, how is it not widespread?

I'm strongly advocating for the de-platforming (removal of soap boxes and megaphones) for antisemitic hate speech in all possible circumstances. This is censorship in the narrowest possible sense only, neither general nor widespread.
Regulating where hotels and other business may be located is a pretty standard thing to regulate. If you turn an apartment block into a factory or hotel without a permit, you are going to have a bad time in pretty much any city.

To pile on, gmail is also well-known to have fantastic spam and phishing prevention abilities compared to most other email solutions, something you could literally never do at home yourself without some incredible software that you run yourself (and even then probably not). That's a huge value-add for a ton of users I'd imagine.

'Nothing to gain' is incredibly hyperbolic I think or this person has never read about gmail/used gmail before.

"Embrace ignorance or feel afraid" describes the situation for literally every significant problem.
Short term stays like hotels and long term stays like renting should be regulated differently, yes? You have different rights as a renter and as a consumer of hotel services.

If you claim to be regulated by one (say as a landlord who has several empty units intended for lease) but are operating as the other (essentially an off-books hotel) that is an attempt to manipulate regulators and avoid responsibilities, tax burdens, etc that one or the other has.
The engine itself only has two external dependencies: STL (internal use only, not part of the APIs) and robin-map. The (optional) Vulkan backend adds a third one: vkmemalloc.

The host tools (material compiler, etc.) do have more dependencies indeed.
The article fails to mention Apple. Are they affected by this?
I don't take drugs. I will take an immune regulating cure but not a immuno-suppressant like Humira. NSAIDs class of drugs are not good for long term treatment. They will physically destroy any semblance of health you may have.
This is what SF does: create a ton of laws or regulations so that it’s onerous to not break one, then selectively enforce them when it’s palatable to. Try street parking in SF; it’s like an SAT problem trying to figure out if you’re doing it legally. Arbitrary justice is not good.

DevOps as in "Azure DevOps", the product formally known as TFS and/or VSTS, not the practices/culture surrounding the movement.

Basically, this walks through building a CI pipeline that builds C64 code. Which, don't get me wrong, is cool.

Not sure what I was expecting, I just really hate that Microsoft named their product this way, for exactly this reason.
> The argument made prior to this is not that an unemployed person is equal to a continuously employed worker

Isn't it? Maybe that's not what you meant to say, but even now as I re-read your earlier comment I think that's what you said. Based on the downvotes and jimjansen's reply, I'm not alone. jimjansen's reply in fact seems to have taken you to mean that you simply cannot consider someone's experience at all, which is a totally unreasonable position and consistent with your wording. I tried to be more generous in my interpretation but simply can't interpret your earlier comment in way that's consistent with the (correct) idea that one can legally hire Experienced Eric rather than Unemployed Ursula because of his additional experience.

(By the way, unfortunately I think these discrimination laws are basically toothless because in real life there are many factors that legally can be considered, they're all subjective, and employers are under no obligation to explain their reasoning. So you can almost never prove discrimination unless they are dumb enough to tell you about it.)
Barnes and Noble releases a new Nook tablet with its largest display ever
Who was talking about neo-nazis gaining power? The pendulum doesn't need to swing in only two directions. Any power given to a governing body (be it government or literally country-sized corporations) to control the speech of the people will not be something relinquished without a fight. I think it is incredibly short-sighted to reach for such a drastic solution simply because it is the most convenient solution at the time. The PATRIOT and FREEDOM Acts are perfect examples of such overreach and practically every government on Earth has a good example of similar overreach given to them by the governed population at some point in time.

Deplatforming gives them a more powerful rhetoric to use for sympathetic ears wherever they do end up finding ears - and they will find somewhere willing to take their money at some point. "The ${whatevers} are trying to keep us down. They go after our advertisers, after our living. They don't want the truth that we preach to be heard. They do everything in their power to prevent you from knowing the truth but I won't be stopped. Yadda yadda yadda." is a bit more convincing and trivially provable than the usual drivel they come up with. Moving things into the dark where you can't watch it is going to make it more dangerous, not less. It doesn't get rid of it - it just removes it from your view. The equivalent of closing your eyes and hoping the monster goes away.
Asana is the elegant todo list they are looking for.
Because that's a cliche that, despite its tiresome repetition here and in other tech forum, hasn't been true for 22 years, and only ever was the law of the land for a bit more than a year (1995, until the passage of the Communcations Decency Act in 1996)

Specifically, US Code § 230(c)(2) ("Protection for private blocking and screening of offensive material") provides:

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—

(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or

(B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph

Isn't zoning one of the contributing factors to the housing crisis?

The problem AFAIK with airbnb is that it takes supply from the residential side, and people using the properties for living in the area should be prioritized over visitors who should book hotels.

Cockroaches deliver kicks to avoid being turned into “zombies”
I read very slow too. Nothing really helped so I decided to just ignore it. It doesn't really affect my life except I can't read subtitles (they change much faster than I can read). I can read books just fine, except a few times slower than normal people. This also didn't affect my academic performance. It's an unfortunate situation nevertheless.
Allegations shouldn't ruin peoples careers. A conviction should be the bare minimum and even then depending on the crime.

Even a criminal charge would have helped such an argument but even that wasn't the case here. If it wasn't for the politics of the situation I highly doubt so many people would be against such basic human right as due process.
Universities do have courses that require contributing to an Open Source project. I saw this when working on Servo a couple years ago. I was disappointed in the students. The average university student is not very motivated.

If the course is an elective it's probably better (more motivated students).
1.) Perhaps consider that the comments on /r/The_Donald, /r/catsstandingup, and /r/personalfinance differ strongly. The idea that all of Reddit's users and all the content on all its different subreddits are generically self-similar is a pretty foolish notion. You may as well say "HN comments are looking more and more like internet comments every day" and it would mean just as much. Your comment only serves to illustrate which parts of Reddit or the internet you personally frequent.

2.) Yes, in response to current US politics, I have little to say beyond expressions of utter disgust and contempt. There is nothing I can do to change the Supreme Court situation. I have no deep commentary or rebuttal to make to Kavanough's opinions, because I think most readers here can already see what I see: that his argument is straight out of a dystopian horror story. They don't need my added pontification to make that clear.

3.) Not every comment needs to be a thoughtful essay. People frequently want to just express an opinion or emotion without wanting to dive into a conversation. Do you harp on people every time they snicker or sigh, saying is that all you have to contribute? I imagine people must be reluctant to make a sound around you.
The party you want to connect to chooses the CA, not you. Are you really not going to use YouTube because you don’t trust the Google CA?

Anyway, redirecting and sniffing traffic is one thing, intercepting and changing encrypted traffic while being undetected is another. It’s quite a stretch really.

> I hope you have sufficient force to back up your desires

I don't need force. I just need to present my worldview in a way that's compelling to the peanut gallery. If I do a good job, I can convince them, and with luck, some of them can begin advocating for the same, more-ethical worldview I'm hoping for. Together, we comprise society, and can shape society in our image.
Yeah, thanks a lot. That is really it. Same as in D lang. In fact D's array is just a slice. At least it used to be so 10 years ago. GC there does the rest - as in Modula-3.

With an attitude like this, SF will be the next Detroit. Exponential economic curves always turn out to be sigmoids, and when the sigmoid flattens and the economy is carrying tremendous dead weight predicated on future increasing prosperity, the city will be out of options.
Iran accuses Israel of launching new cyber attack
Good point, though it might trigger the correlation-not-causation debate.

When one has a widespread, general rise in cancer and vascular disease, one should look for a systemic cause. The general perception is changing from 'cancer is genetic' to 'cancer is environmental', although oncologists have long known it. The California Prop 65 warnings are a start at raising awareness, though more risible than alarming.

I hope we start testing, treating & preventing causes, whether it's pathogens (HPV) or chemicals (benzene) causing cancer. Or other disease triggers like Alzheimer's (zoster) or ischemic event triggers (periodontal).
Not necessarily great for starting, but document what you read on Goodreads, or some other similar site. It starts to recommend more books based on that (and what other users have said about them), and I've found some real gems that way.

For starting, you could still use Goodreads to possibly find something interesting, or take a recommendation from someone who has similar taste in other things as you.
That's a lot of first person pronouns for a story about self negation. (Which is probably the point...)

Yes but the whole point is that nobody believes that humans are partial halting oracles, and there is a simpler, more believable explanation that doesn’t require that claim.

I have a hard time seeing your argument as anything other than 'motivated reasoning' attempting to justify to your religious/metaphysical beliefs.
What guarantees are in place with your users preventing you guys from selling your company after you've gained users and then that new company storing everyone's emails and digging through them for juicy details, IP, insider trading info, prescriptions, 2FA info, financial info, medical info, blackmail info, nudes, passwords, or anything else some people might not want a company to have? Or partnering with a company that has a data-sharing agreement with you so technically your company isn't reading emails but theirs is.

I'd imagine this is a concern for some people with this type of service similar to how in the past Chrome extensions have proceeded down this path without anyone being the wiser.

It really seems like people don't realize the potential pandora's box that they can open by sharing their emails with someone or an organization, even if that organization is currently trustworthy.

And a couple of questions for you about your infrastructure security. What is your infrastructure security and when you get breached what will you do about it? I'm assuming given your company's ability to access emails someone will find you a juicy enough target and if you get big potentially even criminal organizations and state actors would. If that's the case you will almost certainly be breached to some extent because you have a juicy treasure trove.
They wouldn't be using the term innovation if the solution was obvious... Within the options you laid out, perhaps advances in mesh networking working in combination with licensing non-public spectrum would cut it. Certainly Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple have the resources to make something else work if the current ISP's get massively out of line.
The highest paying companies in the field don’t care about counting individual years of your experience and probably would hire a fresh grad over senior engineer any day, so as long as you crack the leetcoding interview, what difference does it make if you spent the last year on a parental leave?
China would only be annoyed if you made it out to be a bad thing. Everybody knows that, like the US, they snoop up any information they can get their hands on. Which makes it even more likely they didn’t do an active attack because there’s more chance of being caught if you don’t care.
Joint Statement on Election Day Preparations
Frankly, you're basically right. I am signalling to people who believe in a free internet that I'm with them. Simultaneously, I'm signaling my belief that you'd have to be an idiot to believe that the censoring of our speech by ISPs is equivalent to them expressing their own speech. Got me red-handed.
>so why not ISP's?

Because it has to effing stop somewhere, that's why.

Sorry, but saying that giving government-granted telco monopolies[1] a right to censor content is "in line with the first amendment" is the most bizzarre thing I've seen today.

[1]Neither spectrum nor the right to lay down cables are a free market.
