To add to that: because we all know that both parties know a working money system exists, then the most likely explanation for "why" becomes "because it is profitable for the festival host." The festival goer is tight to be naturally skeptical of sny alternative payment system (smart wristbands, "credit" cards, tickets/tokens).

Even if some transactions have extra friction such as ID checks for age-restricted purchases, the less intrusive solution is color coded "dumb paper" wristbands.

Could you give an example of a hoax that has the same monumental scale and consequences as, say, the weapons of mass destruction hoax that led to the 2003 Iraq war?
Yep, and there's also a --utc flag, but unfortunately no UTC offset flag to do the reverse (on a remote server which perhaps is already using UTC). Could be a good first commit for someone out there...

Why not?
I tried it, maybe it was the language barrier but I had shops who simply send me away. I had a longer conversation with the cashier in the SPAR shop on the science center campus about it who told me my v-pay card was the wrong one and cash was not an option. It worked out in the big shopping center in Almere where people also took cash.
It's a bit more complicated. Chrome has had the ability to run separate tabs in separate processes since day 1. However, quite often, JavaScript from separate web sites would end up running in the same process. Specifically, (i)frames, popup windows, and sometimes tabs created by a site would run in the same process as the creating site, even if the child window displayed a completely different domain. In this case, in fact, the sites would run in the same V8 isolate. The only separation was "context" separation, which essentially means that the objects from one site were prohibited from accessing the objects from another even though they occupied the same heap.

More recently, Chrome has introduced Site Isolation, which actually allows iframes to run in separate processes. On desktop, this is enabled by default as of Chrome 67. On Android, it is not enabled yet, because it has been shown to be too expensive. The Chrome team wants to fix this, but it's not clear (to me, at least) whether they'll be able to overcome the inherent barriers here.

Chrome started working on Site Isolation before Spectre, but Spectre accelerated interest in it. My take is that Spectre is probably not the main reason that the Chrome security people (who are awesome, BTW) want to do it, but it provided a great excuse to rally support behind it.

For Workers -- much like for Android Chrome -- process-per-tenant is still too costly to be feasible. So, we need to pursue other approaches, as I've described elsewhere in this thread.
All your fraudulent credit card transactions will be cancelled if this happens. Not so with cash.
Because you didn't read. This is just a fancy accelerometer. You need to integrate it to infer position. Repeated integration always produces errors. Even this accelerometer being 1,000 times more precise than existing ones doesn't help with how math works. Integration will always produce errors.
The vast majority of bugs aren't are due to corner cases that the programmer didn't think about. Quickcheck and related techniques expose many more bugs than eliminating OOM bugs.
Yes I believe housing projects were the first/main use of that style here. I know I have an instinctive negative reaction to them (mainly though from TV shows focusing on the horrors of projects).
Been taking 10k IU of D3 for a few months now, managed to get my measurement from the teens or 20s into the 90s of whatever unit that's in. I believe 100 is the max of the healthy range. Can't tell the difference, but allegedly you're going to feel "worse" if you're low on this stuff.

It would be amusing to find out that it actually makes no difference at all and it's all placebo.
As someone from San Diego I find it insane that you think the city is “tending toward car-free living.”

Even in 5-10 years when the trolley maybe hits the beach, how would you get to north county?. What if you’re in north park and you work in spring valley? How is San Diego tending toward making that more available?

I wish I could offer a more constructive response but it’s honestly very surprising to me that someone would ever make that claim.
Better than Galileo I suppose.
Reminds me of something my grandmother would say: "If you have to hide doing something, then you're doing something wrong."

Doesn't apply to birthday parties or actual CIA-type spies, but I think local police hiding cameras in traffic barrels is a match.

I lost cards many times. Never been asked to pay a fee to get new card. No forms to fill out either. You just call them, tell them you need new card and they send it.
Cheers - yep google's especially sounds much more realistic. Obviously still awhile to go before a user would be tricked into thinking it's a real voice.
I find it helps a little in the winter when it’s dark and rainy all the time. It’s cheap so I don’t see a downside if it is acting as a placebo.
"Whataboutism" is really more of a moral concept that doesn't quite fit here.

It's probably easier to see when going back to the original word, which (for reasons that must have included either weed or a stroke) was replaced by this historical tragedy of naming that is "whataboutism", i. e. "hypocrisy".
I feel that often the complaints associated with loving in urban apartments has less to do with the apartments themselves, and more societal trends that have arisen out of rich people sticking to suburbs over multiple generations.

Schools are the #1 example of this.

Badly maintained rental apartments and higher crime rates are some other examples of the same.
It always seemed unlikely to me that any single substance that can be ingested as a supplement would have any significant effect on general malignancies. There are probably thousands of paths by which these can occur, one magic pill that would address them all is improbable to say the least.
Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by a 'check'. I was assuming you meant a congressional panel voting on it or something. If that's not what you mean, and all you meant was some degree of bureaucracy involved, then I think we're in agreement.
Right. HTTP (i.e. REST sans hypermedia) gets you interoperability.

It doesn't get you the "flexibility" of hypermedia/HATEOS, but it depends on your application if you need that. Most projects don't call for 15+ year APIs.
It's not clear who posted that and it's a small blip in the overall stellar reputation of WL's journalism.
> articles in your Opinion section are all partisan sources

Yes, articles in the Opinion section are partisan. That's why they are in a section labeled "Opinion" all by themselves somewhere at the bottom of the page, separate from news reports.

> nine of the ten are from one source.

The section shows the latest 10 articles. If a news source publishes articles on the web in a batch at one go, that section shows them all. We don't control what gets published when and we have stated that at the bottom of the page.

> This is an odd definition of "diverse".

We're still pulling articles from diverse news sources. If you would like to suggest some more, please feel free to do so because we are definitely open to all suggestions.

As always, thank you for your feedback. Please keep it coming! :-)
In case anyone is interested, Carver Mead's 1990 seminal paper on the subject [0]. It's a fairly accessible read, and covers the power/computational efficiency trade-offs on the spectrum from natural, biological systems to manufactured analog vs. digital electronic systems.

Bicycles I think in general hit a high point in the late 1990s. Good aluminum frames and 8 or 9 speeds (as in number of cogs).

Carbon frames are not suitable for the vast majority of riders. Any damage to carbon makes a bike unridable, and it can happen fairly easily. In addition, carbon can fail catastrophically, unlike metal frames.

This is all for a few minor or alleged benefits. The lightest carbon frames are around 700 grams. The lightest steel frame is around 1 kilo, and the racing aluminum frame I use is 1100. That frame is lighter than most people’s carbon frames, and I have had it for 12 years and many crashes. It has some damage, but because it is minor the bike is still safely rideable.

Carbon is billed as stiffer. It usually is, but the energy wasted from frame flex is less than one watt. Carbon can also be minimally lighter. However, 80-90% of energy in road biking goes to aerodynamic resistance. Decreasing weight by a percent therefore has a negligible impact on speed.

The most important thing is to get a reasonably light bike that makes you aerodynamic. It should also be reliable. If it is reliable you will ride it more, and therefore be faster.
Still not seeing any evidence for this. WL would surely publish any high quality leaked info on Russia or on any US politicians regardless of party or stance on Russia.
In my opinion, the best benefit of fish oil and Omega threes and vitamin D are in combating depression. This article did not touch on that. There is pretty good evidence that fish oil is one of the best supplements for combating depression because it is used directly in construction of neurotransmitter pathways.

I highly recommend reading Dr Mark Hyman's book the Ultramind Solution. It's loaded with great info regarding nutrition and how it affects your brain. It is truly life changing information. He also had a podcast called Broken Brain that is worth checking out.

Julia Ross' the Mood Cure is good too, the not as detailed (tho that can be good if you are feeling overwhelmed).
I'm aware, but that's not what I meant.
The problem can be perfect depending on how it's stated. If you spell out the contract right, then it can be perfect. Some examples:

Given two 32-bit signed integers, produce a 32-bit signed integer that is a sum of the inputs; if the sum doesn't fit into 32 bits, wrap modulo 32 bits.

Given two 32-bit signed integers, produce a 64-bit signed integer that is a sum of the inputs.

Given two 32-bit signed integers, produce either a 32-bit signed integer that is a sum of the inputs if it fits into 32 bits, or an error code indicating that it did not fit.

The problem with languages like C is that they let you be imprecise and get away with in. If you just run with "add two signed 32-bit integers", and implement it as "x + y" in C, it will compile, and it will run, but the result is undefined behavior if it overflows (note: it doesn't even mean that you get the wrong value - it can literally do anything at all). In Zig, if you write it as "x + y", it will panic on overflow, which is at least well-defined and fails fast; and the language provides you with tools to implement any of the three properly defined scenarios above in straightforward ways (i.e. you can add with wraparound, or you can add with an overflow check).
Most journalistic outfits would have completely folded long before they reached the level of pressure that Assange has been dealing with for years now.

That's the point... when journalists upset governments, ugly things happen. The last person we should be blaming is Assange!
Why do we keep looking for some magic pill and ignore diet and exercise, especially when we talk about cancer and cardiovascular disease? Expecting a pill to counteract a sedentary lifestyle and a diet high in sugar and carbs is lunacy.
What they tried: 2000 IU (1 tablet) of Vit D3 and 1g of Omega 3 per day.

Who they tried it on: older adults in USA.

What they found: no difference in risk of cancer, heart attack, stroke, or death.
I started using Notational Velocity (http://notational.net) years ago and still use it pretty effectively. I try to label things and keep them searchable. It's the repository for anything I might need to remember.

To be honest, I don't really review them but I do occasionally have to search back through them to answer questions like, "what was that feature I promised on that phone call?"

1 out of 10 notes ends up being useful, the others are pretty much trash.
FYI Micro Center has a $200 discount on some new Airs right now if you have one in your area.
Lol no. That's what a tailor is for. The logistics of stocking clothing stores don't work out with that many combinations so humanity is stuck with XS-XXXL.
This headline is quite misleading (and arguably very biased toward white readers). It describes a marked improvement in outcomes for African American study participants.

So perhaps NPR views this as "disappointing" but the headline suggests broadly that everyone should stop taking those supplements, when in fact the results are far more nuanced.

HN's absurd title policy is using a clickbait (and misleading) title chosen by NPR and amplifying it.
Zig has system-exit, which is strictly less useful than unchecked exceptions, so Zig certainly has the same problem.
Diet and exercise have considerably higher costs than pills. Seems like that should be apparent.

I don't see it as lunacy. Some chemicals we put into our bodies kill us, some cure our illnesses, some keep us awake or put us to sleep. It's lunacy to believe that some can benefit our health?

Regardless, this isn't zero-sum. I don't think people are advocating for a pill to replace diet and exercise, but it seems obviously worthwhile to pursue other avenues of living a healthy life.
If that's the case I'll give it a try again, last time I tried Firefox it had version 62, so that must be a recent change.
Long-term health risks associated with low D include cancer and heart disease. I tested very low a few years ago and get tested every 6 months now. 10k for me as well. Who figured 12-14 hours a day at a computer would be unhealthy.
Of course, a decade ago, the lunacy was expecting something to counteract a diet high in fat.
I went with a low end Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1, the size is good, battery is great, the hardware is not beholden to the software (i.e. no lock-in with Amazon Kindle, Nook, iPad-iOS.) Good speed and google Play certified (that's the gotcha on cheap tablets make sure you can run google play) I know it is reparable (Have fixed friends Tabs'). Has a relatively new OS (Android Nougat)), SD card slot, dual camera.m Maybe not some of the other extras of higher end tablets like IR and extra ports.

In general usage has been great, and the benefit of PDFs on a tablet is being able to zoom and scroll (Got a scan of Computer Lib/Dream Machines in it, the zooming/scrolling is very helpful to read it.) Though if I had a choice I would prefer paper books if available the screen can affect your reading and also light reactions staring as the display closer than a monitor.

Beyond that I'm not too impressed by the ebook stores "buying" ebooks though them is no discount (plus you get the added dread of the e-book outlets still have complete control your "purchased" - er licensed content).

library ebooks are nice, and also magazines (though library e-editions seem more ad-riddled than print ones.)

Tablet apps are pale next to desktop stuff, and you may have to hunt to find tablet stuff that actually are comparative to good desktop FOSS.

In hindsight I like it, I would not have found more value in the bigger screen of a page size (except more heft and expense)

If unsure borrow a friend's and try it out. Though if they only have the supplies PDF viewer, I would get acrobat or some other more capable PDF reader to test the built-in ones are usually kinda lacking.
We've had much success with Argo workflows over the past months. Among other projects, we use it to generate city-sized extracts of mapping data from the OpenStreetMap planet. Blog post at https://www.interline.io/blog/scaling-openstreetmap-data-wor...

Using Argo on Google Kubernetes Engine makes it easy to auto-scale for our workflow steps that parallelize. We're also able to reuse Dockerfiles and resources between both our batch workflows and our running services (also on Kubernetes).
But companies aren’t ditching credit cards, we’re just using “contact less”/Apple Pay/etc. more. When Swish is used by a company (I’ve only seen a couple), they’re either super-cheap or gimmicky.
The article almost makes it sound like the implementation is such that it only makes sense for extremely large vehicles. It will likely be a long time before it becomes small and cheap enough to replace a significant fraction of GPS uses.
Why can't we take supplements AND have a healthy diet and exercise.
> We don't have property tax in the UK.

Well, the council tax looks an awful lot like one, but if you insist.

> I'm frankly quite glad that we don't. If it were instituted at anything other than a token rate I'd leave.

Depends on what a 'token rate' is. Cities I've lived in have set it at around 1 percent a year, and is used to fund the emergency services, schools, roads and parks in the area. In most places in the US, that's a $1-2k annual expense. Houses around here, largely built in the 1950's, sell for around $1.4 million, and thus taxes would be around 15k a year. Complaining that you can't afford taxes on a million dollar home is perhaps the epitome of First World Problems. Moreover, higher taxation is simply one effect of high rents. Labor here is expensive; fast food joints here aggressively advertise help wanted signs at 15 dollars an hour. I can only imagine what in-home health care costs, and there's a neverending stream of interviews with public service workers who cannot afford to live near the communities they serve.

However, there is a second order effect -- if a fraction of the people who felt better off in Sacramento or anywhere else in the 1k tax regions moved out, prices in SF would fall. And if owners were more directly impacted by refusals to build high density housing, they'd probably be more in favor of new construction on average.

> The idea that, say, my grandmother should just get kicked out of her hometown that she's lived in forever, that she bloody _built_, because a bunch of kids decided they like her city is completely absurd.

Sounds a lot like you're asking for rent control for the wealthy.
These pills are part of your diet.

Fake quote but also something I'd like to see removed from meaningful discussions
Yeah, it was disappointing to see that the author of Gogs considers stuff like deleting branches and doing squash and merges outside the scope of what Gogs should do. Much happier after moving to Gitea.

Ask HN: How do I study distributed sytems?
I'm at the juncture of my career where I want to focus more on Distributed Systems and specialize more in it. Short of reading seminal papers, understanding existing data systems like Spark, Kafka etc., how do I gain more working knowledge so as to improve my implementation skills of such a system.

While I haven't really worked on a major project that explores core problems, I'd like to spend the next year or two learning more about it.

Looking forward to learning from the pioneers in this field who have implemented many such systems.
There's no apriori reason that the landed gentry should keep their homes without paying a land value tax that makes it not worth their while to keep them. This is the stuff revolutions are made of, when the larger outsider population collectively decides its had enough of landowner privilege. Landowners can go to outer space if they want private ownership of a frontier.

In (parts of) China, for example, land is leased to private parties (20-year and 70-year terms), not owned.

Cheap knockoffs available make Apple's high prices look astronomically large.
We have plenty of data on the effect of D3 supplementation in rickets and iron-deficient anemia as well as mechanistic data that supports these conclusions.
Because magic pills don't require lifestyle changes, and lifestyle changes are quite difficult to do for many people.
If you want to lose weight, spending hours in the gym is a waste of time if you change nothing about a bad diet high in carbs and sugar. I think the same goes with vitamins or supplments...if you change nothing about your lifestyle and are at risk of developing a cardiovascular disease taking a vitamin probably won't do anything. If you make significant lifestyle changes that are already proven, or at least more proven, to reverse symptoms of cardiovascular disease and then take certain vitamins as part of that change then the vitamins might have the impact of slightly speeding up the recovery time and/or slightly reducing the chance you'll be diagnosed in the first place.
What happens if you don't have cash? Answer: you get cash, because most shops won't barter.

Same thing here.
“Pirates are now sophisticated enough to cause disruptions to ships, and lure them to rocks or take over and board them, by disrupting GPS,” said Graeme Malcolm, founder and CEO of M Squared.

And some from non EU countries.

Some men from Macedonia slept opposite my apartment in Copenhagen for a while in the summer. They get enough donations from passers by to keep them supplied with alcohol, and somehow avoid being deported (or return soon after?).

People like to cite things like this, but we both know these stats are silly and meaningless.

First of all, you cropped the start at 2001. Presumably after September 11th, 2001, because a whole lot more than 26 people died there. Second, Islamic terrorism is not just about attacks that happen inside the US. The difference between Islamic terrorism and most other forms of domestic terrorism, is that Islamic terrorism represents a global, organized threat to liberal democracies, in general. Islamic terror attacks have happened through western and eastern Europe, China, Canada, they are positively endemic in Africa, and they continue to plague many other places.

No doubt about it, there are real and serious domestic terror threats inside the United States, and it is important that our law enforcement agencies work to stop them. But in the regions of the world where we're employing drone strikes, substantial fractions of the population are involved in these organizations. In some cases, such as Afghanistan, the recognized government of the country (the Taliban) consisted of these people. There are no similarly large sections of the US population to target for drone strikes. That doesn't mean there aren't domestic terrorists here, there are, and many of them are not Islamic. The reason drones don't work here though is that they don't have the critical mass to organize - they're lone wolves. Drones simply aren't an effective tool in that context.
I was merely pointing out that they do in fact receive federal funding. The comparison to social security was because SS uses the same wordplay to claim it is self funded as well. But in actuality, federal tax money is keeping both programs alive.

And it's not just first class mail that has a monopoly. It's all/any mail that is placed in a residential mailbox.

>Are you also upset that there are government monopolies on the judiciary and declaring war?

Huh? Those make complete sense to be government monopolies. It doesn't make much sense that the federal government can bar a private company from placing a letter or small package in my mailbox, that I paid for and installed at my own expense.
