Yeah I'm sure that if Steph Curry had a car trunk fall on his back and couldn't walk, Besh would send him to the hospital in a Lyft instead of an ambulance.

You end up with the candidate who most voters at least like while offering more choices. Seems like it would wipe out the ‘rile up the base’ strategy in favor of trying not to offend anyone.

SCTs are signatures from log servers. So the presence of the SCT means now not only the CA vouches for this certificate, but also the signing logs vouch for having seen this certificate. Chrome has a policy baked into it about which logs it will trust.

Under current policy this "nothing" means Google plus at least one independent log operator claim to have seen it and logged it. This eliminates the scenario in which a powerful adversary obtains certificates but only shows them to a single victim or small victim group. Whatever they did, everybody will see it.

"Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy": In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.
Sarcastically, not everyone enjoys stepping into human feces and dodging used needles.

Less sarcastically, how is that an advantage?
I have two of them and they are both excellent. I can see no discernible difference between them and my 5k iMac. They are expensive, though.
My personal issue with it is the lack of standard inputs, which make it impossible to use with an eGPU setup (excluding the Blackmagic, but that's a whole other kind of subpar). The data ports being exclusively USB-C is probably an issue for some as well.
Proportional voting is a vastly superior system for arranging many-people blocks (senate and congress in the US), and also completely breaks gerrymandering.

It doesn’t work for individual candidate positions like president, because you can’t have a non whole number percentage of a single candidate
The multi-winner system that appeals the most to me is either range (score) or approval voting, with seats allocated proportionally. Unlike STV, it would be possible to support or oppose as many candidates/parties as the voter wants simultaneously. And so it avoids some of the nasty properties of IRV and STV.
I'm a (relatively) young and tech-savvy doctor. The electronic medical records I have used (around 5 or 6) are all truly terrible. As the medical director of a group of clinics, I explored replacing our terrible system, and every other system I looked that was a reasonable fit for our needs was, at best, marginally better.

While there are other factors at play, the main one is that electronic medical record software is really, really bad.
Germans are well known for their propensity for cash, in part due to their strong desire for privacy. Often they will take cards, but only something like their indigenous GeldKarte[0] which tries to be as cash like as possible.

Scam with fake delivery service
It begun with me being rather stupid for starters.
I was looking for a used GPU online, initially and so I ended up seeing gtx 1080ti for cheap.
I contacted the seller, asked for pictures and whatnot and paid via bitcoin.

The thing is, instead of the seller disappearing then, they sent me to a delivery service website with a tracking ID.
The website being Globallinedelservice.com
I could supposedly follow my package as it traveled through the world.

I don't know why, but only a few days later I thought about using a whois on the domain, which showed me that the identity of the owner is guarded.

Posting it to the world hoping that it will prevent others from making the same mistake.
I didn't expect a scam to be so elaborative.
I would say the money was raised on the team. If they're smart they can pivot away from PoRep and no one will notice.

I strongly suspect something conceptually similar to SQL joins is going on in a human brain.
I actually think that the economy is sort of a zerosum game. I think previous economists upon whom we base these ideas subconciously bought into the idea that resources are practically unilimited. And until now we have managed to get everything we need from the earth and the sun. But I think that the limits are aproaching quickly and even things like becoming multiplanetary will not fix things in the short run. It might save is when the third world war breaks loose. Which is innevitability to me, because of the depleting resources. De west VS the east. Technologically the east will first catch up, but the power won't be yielded so easily by the west. Russia and China know this.
Dane here, we consistently get 85+ with no compulsory voting.

Yes we have universal registration, but we also have a system where more than one party can win, which I think is much more important. People can be motivated to overcome challenges if they have a good reason.
If you could, would you share a time when you tried to interact with a different department and were unable to?

I ask because it sounds like we had different experiences there. I found all IBMers to be very open to talking about what they were working on, as slack became more widely deployed it was even easier. (Sametime as an IM client was a bit clunky). People would post on their 'home' page what they were up to some times, I talked at length with an engineer working with the atomic force microscope (AFM) in San Jose.

I have spent the last year building sleep tech and I have read 100's of papers on the subject, been to conferences and spent lots of time with academics and experts on the subject of sleep.
Screen time matters massively. It really matters for children and every single piece of evidence, bar this poorly written study (two questions), say so.
It's a real issue for adults too, and blue light issue aside, the disturbance of your wind down routine is a massive health issue that needs to be adressed. It affects not only how you fall asleep (the marker for which people judge sleep quality) but also staying asleep and the quality of it (a far more important measure).

(Also if anyone is building sleep apps/tech I'm looking for work)
For a serious injury, the right thing to do is call 911, describe the situation, and let them make the call whether to use an ambulance or private transport. Tesla doesn't want the 911 call because it creates a paper trail for injuries they don't want to report, and because they're desperately low on cash. Part and parcel with the culture of deception at that company.
To me it also seems IRV is complicated. That said, doesn't the non-monotonicity property of IRV support outcomes where a compromise candidate might win when they otherwise would lose? That doesn't seem to be a bad thing. If people vote strategically to make a centrist their 1st vote to avoid what they consider an extreme, that seems like the essence of political compromise and an improvement over 1st past post.

Perhaps the most important important property of a voting system is that it is easy to grok, so that people trust it. In particular, aggregates at the local level should combine simply with other districts to tally overall winners.You can tally IRV incrementally, it's just that ranking permutations are the units of aggregation. That's non-trivial. For this reason, I prefer approval voting.
Categories don’t have to encompass everyone as long as the remainder are rounding errors. One of the most successful CEOs in the world works at every Fortune 100 company. Who cares.
Why call it "name and shame" and not just "name"? Be honest about the behavior and let people judge for themselves whether the behavior is shameful. If an action is above-board, the actor should not mind being named.
The only significant issues I’ve seen is that many libraries using threading are or were a little naive in that they’d take the core count to be thread count. Better libraries know the difference

But I’m not aware of any benchmarks that pin one execution thread per physical core and compare with and without hyperthreading. I guess I have some homework to do, but then it’s a lot of effort when the results could depend on generation, clock speed etc.
it's simply too expensive to be selling to the masses. Apple knows where and who the money is, and it's not with the masses.

besides, Apple actually has plenty of low end offerings on sale alredy: the iphone 6 and iphone 5. the refurbished versions of their older phones the 4,5 and 6. Right? are those selling out?
The consensus exists only on the thin slice of debate that pertains to economics. Economists agree that rent control, all other things held equal, reduces housing supply. Nobody seriously debates. However there are moral and ethical and sociological dimensions to the question. For example: allowing rents to rise to whatever the market will bear effectively rewards landlords for creating scarcity. Should landlords be rewarded for creating scarcity? Or should they be punished for it? Do long-domiciled tenants who have contributed to the desirability of a place have a legitimate interest in being allowed to stay there?

My main beef with this piece is that HN pretends to keep politics off the front page but here we have right-wing propaganda masquerading as science on election day where the issue is on the ballot in California. If we're going to allow advocacy then the mods should stop automatically flagging whole classes of posts.
From Apple's perspective, extending this to desktops kills two birds with one stone.

Around 2010, Flash on anything other than Windows was notoriously craptastic -- to the point that Apple refused to support Flash in their mobile browser.

Nowadays, that same 2010 Mini could probably stream Netflix reliably, since it'll be decoding HTML5+DRM instead of Flash.
All of these comments are not necessarily fair about Oracle.

They are moving faster in the last 2-3 years.
They have IRV in San Francisco for the mayoral race. What ends up happening is that a candidate who would not otherwise be in the majority can end up as mayor because he/she was everybody’s second choice. Additionally, candidates who think they might lose team up and start promoting each other. It’s bizarre and very difficult for voters to understand the implications of their actions.
IBM and Motorola worked with Apple to make the PowerPC chips Apple used in their (i|Power)(Mac|Book) ranges for years. They called it the AIM Alliance.

The way I understand it, you're correct. If a candidate that you ranked higher is still in the running, your vote goes to them. Only when your highest ranked choice is eliminated does your vote get transferred.

Rent control...works fine in the presence of abundant supply and liquidity

In other words, rent control has no effect if prices would have remained stable anyway. It's also pointless in that case.
Yep I guess it’s a ramp up issue. Easier to have bare metal hard ware at high end and then slice it up into cheap servers.

But it sounds like its the same DAC, which was hiss free with optical. So it's not the DAC "generating" the hiss. Rather electrical "interference" making it over to the analog side from the digital side.

So it's the DACs fault, but maybe it's fair to say that it's harder to make a good DAC when USB is how the data is being delivered. I'm sure a high end USB DAC doesn't have this issue, but I'm pretty impressed with my cheap offbrand optical DAC that was $11. I'm guessing I would not be so impressed with the $11 USB version.

"What ends up happening is that a candidate who would not otherwise be in the majority can end up as mayor because he/she was everybody’s second choice."

But, isn't that the whole point? ... that a compromise, perhaps centrist, candidate can emerge victorious?
at a certain point, you have to accept that there's nothing left to be done: at some point all the low hanging fruit has been picked clean.

If they really want to expand their revenue and move into areas it's going to be very risky. So, why not milk the cow for all it's worth.
Do you also think it deals with "belief" of something new and fantastic. I might be reaching on this... and this idea is like a grand total of 2 minutes old in my head.

But take crop circles. Over and god damn over, they're proven to be some bored asshole that went out with a board, some rope, and free time to make shit in a field. But every time a new one pops up, "Oh my god... is it aliens!?!?!"

Every time in tech. Overblown claims are made and shown to be false or limited in scope. By "smart people" towards "smart people". But we still get "No! This will change the world!". "It might change the way we take dumps on the shitter, but not the world." "IT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!".

Or "Making the world a better place through statistically blockchain distributed interconnected AI designed silicon chips... 2.0"

I mean... it's all a religion. Looking at it in another light. Heavy prayer and belief in things you probably shouldn't. Makes tech people more religious than those that are "religious".

I might be reaching and ranting at this point.
My question is why couldn't Microsoft, Google and such have built their cloud services from proprietary code (their own and bought), much like Microsoft built their desktop OS and office and proceeded to dominate that market.

I don't see the evidence behind the claim that it "has been only made possible due to almost all software being free/open". MS certainly had the money, and it didn't come from FOSS. If anything, I could see small players like DigitalOcean or OVH struggling to afford the fees for the code they needed, leading to an even greater reduction of competition.
We don't need science to confirm common everyday experiences, which "little kids need lots of sleep" is for a good chunk of the human race. We may need science to filter through the possible reasons why or a variety of other such things, but not the brute fact.

We also don't need to run a scientific study to know that "if the kids are cranky it's likely because they are hungry or thirsty", "it is highly likely that the kid is lying about the fire-breathing goat breaking into the house and breaking the lamp", or "most kids like to eat candy". Again, plenty of interesting science to be done about the reasons for those things, but science does not require us to be that skeptical.

There's a scientific reason for this, too, which is that whatever study you might be interested in conducting on these matters, "the common experience of humanity" has already run a study a billion times larger, and with more statistical power than you could dream of putting into a study. If humanity is wrong about those things, your study is just going to make some of the same errors. It is not productive to run a scientific study with orders of magnitude less statistical power than the data we already all possess.

(And before you go "but what if they're wrong"... I covered that already in the term "statistical power". We are not obligated by science to pretend that nothing not produced in a study has a statistical power of zero. That's a modern perversion of the idea, and causes some serious philosophical bootstrapping problems if you take the idea seriously.)
> which has real variety of parties

We really don't, historically (for the last century or so) it's been pretty cut and dry between either Labour or Conservatives with the occasional coalition (always involving one of those two parties).
The company also wants to attract lots of people who would be happy with (say) $90k, and not anchor anywhere above unless necessary. If you expect a number of people applying, chances are good that someone is willing to be underpaid for whatever reason, and this fact is huge for companies.
Transit’s public transportation app gets $17.5M in funding
This is what libertarian and 'eliminate regulation' types want.

Human life isn't worth anything if the people can't use legal means to protect themselves.

For these US citizens (SV elite), healthcare is akin to a status symbol or a luxury that only rich people or people bestowed by the rich (think: employment) should be able to attain.

And then look at how much hatred there was when Obama tried to implement the Heritage Foundations plan, which was done by Mitt Romney in Massuchusetts. Republican, btw.

These people really don't care about the "rest of us". That's why Trump was elected. He showed he had the similar hatred and focused it. Don't get me wrong- he's done horrible for the US... But that's why.

EDIT: I would love to hear a description why I'm wrong. I've lived through the creation of Obamacare, my diabetes T2 diagnosis under it, and now the structured destruction of it, along with trying to eliminate 'preexisting conditions' exception. In short, if they get their way, I'll be dead sooner. Like 10 years sooner. Lack of health care + diabetes = death sentence.

But in the end, having us "dead weights" dying isn't a bad thing when you boil us down to $$$.

It's taking me some time to get used to, I'll grant you that.

I'll be getting a 2018 Mac Mini once they're available for order here, so this machine will see much less use then, just basically if I need to be able to do something while travelling (which isn't that frequent).
In that case the economic efficient form of taxation is an expatriation tax.
Respectfully I think that's a very rosy view. I think if gas prices or home energy costs double, the proposal is dead on arrival regardless of campaign contributions or climate marches.

I think people will say they support collective actions right up until those collective actions actually affect their lifestyle. That's why even a lot of democratic policy efforts have been geared toward subsidies instead of reducing use. Much of the populace genuinely is OK with someone else's money being spent on solar, wind, and EV credits. When it means they can't afford to fly for their annual vacation, it's a different story.
They've written their own scrolling logic (why...) which involves cancelling or stopping propagation of the normal gesture and events. They broke scrolling on purpose and accidentally broke other things in the process.
The doctor was taking a calculated risk that whatever care the worker didn't get, as a result of taking a ride share instead of an ambulance, wouldn't kill him. Keeps Tesla's ambulance costs and trip numbers down.

They load something called smooth scroll, which is for creating mac like smooth scrolling on other systems.

That's a laptop CPU. The top-end Mac Mini he's using is a 65W TDP i7-8700. Pretty large difference in performance.
Sure, but the point is that rent control removes the incentive that would otherwise exist for landlords to create scarcity.

Well, that's what happens when strippers and drug dealers start buying iPhones and incorporating them into their bling alongside Prada handbags and Ralph Lauren shirts. Once the iPhone got that sort of normie cred, the door was closed on Apple as a tech company and open on Apple as a lifestyle brand. Plus it's a bit hard to say no to the luxury-aspirant dollar because you can charge a high price and still have a relatively large customer base.

I'll cape up a little for Jira. You need to have it built and configured by somebody who actually, really cares about how people already work and has the Jira-specific knowledge to express it--and that can be hard when doing the right thing in Jira is as counter-intuitive as it is--but when done right it's really very powerful and can be made to be effective and user-friendly. (I volunteered to be the Jira admin at my new company because I do care and I do understand it well enough to do that stuff--and because I own enough of the other systems it'll have to hook into eventually, anyway.)

On the other hand, I used to work on EHR software. Eff that.

Not just expertise but experience: when you hire someone ideally it’s so they can do something they have already done.
You have to be careful if you use the "rollup" way, and the event_id is assigned by a sequence. If you have two transactions, T1 and T2, and T1 inserts event_id 1000, T2 inserts event_id 1001, but T2 commits first and you run the rollup before T1 has committed you'll miss the row.

We store the txid_current() on each row, and when getting new rows we get from the previous txid up to txid_snapshot_xmin(txid_current_snapshot()).
