Ethnic conflict doesn't have to be unending. Often one side wins.
I'm pretty sure the answer is: "It depends." Some parks don't even have fees. Plenty of others you can walk into without parking within the park boundaries--this is the case with many areas within Acadia for example. Others you could potentially backpack into but you'd require a backcountry permit which would probably require you paid the entrance fee. Others do have an entrance where walkers still need to pay--at least at the primary entrance. This is the case at Zion as I recall.
If a place has 700 reviews and a 4.5 star rating

If a place has 5 reviews and a 3 star rating

And if a place has 500 1-star reviews, someone there probably pissed off a person or group with an online following that decided on trashing.
google maps has a lot of ratings and I find is good at suggesting a list of places from which I can select one. Look into the explore around me feature
I'm not a Silicon Valley CEO, but I like hearing this sort of thing because I don't think my work is going away even if the social impact of the industry is known and controlled.

As a kid, I was in love with software because of the possibilities for it to make the world a better / more interesting place. I grew up and saw a darker side. I still want the tech industry to be an industry that makes the world a better place. I don't think that's out of the question for CEOs either.

They're likely not blacklisting strings but actually removing things from the runtime.
That sounds expensive and at scale likely to have a lot of weird unpredictable environmental effects. What happens when you heat the ground and the water in it evaporates? What happens when you cool the ground and the water in it freezes? What happens to indigenous vegetation if you're messing with the ratio of air temperature to ground temperature all year?
> you're in the US, so you should definitely know what that's like.

Are you referring to immigration laws not being enforced in US? I think its much more complex that 'corrupt governments'.
For all know biological species the size of population is a primary indication of health and well-being. Shrinking population indicates inability to adapt or some kind of malaise.

Personally, I don't believe there is such thing as overpopulation. There is ineffective utilization of resources and poor management which can be viewed as inability to adapt. Ancient cities couldn't grow beyond 100K population because they didn't have sewers. Once sewers became widespread, major cities hit 1 mln in just a few centuries. I believe the Earth can host many more people than it does now if resources and space are utilized efficiently and human morale is high.

No they wouldn't. What about park rangers? What about forest fires? What about keeping wildlife and humans safe from one another?

The article contains a random quote from some woman who claims she couldn't go on holiday if she had a second child. That's clearly nonsense, of course they could go on holiday if they had a second child. Maybe she'd have to stay in the UK instead of going abroad, but that's still a holiday. Likewise her view was that she wanted to buy her daughter anything she wanted and to never have to say no: that's a choice and not even necessarily a good one.

Exactly. One of my favourite apps, Quora, also did it some time ago (may be they still do) - forcing you to install the app if you're browsing them on mobile. I remember being shocked - shocked because while this (horrible) practice became a common thing, I'd always though of Quora highly, and assumed they'd never do something silly like that, but no, they'd disappointed.
Deploying Node.js Apps with Azure App Services and Docker
Interesting design. The 70mm^2 die is more similar to an embedded chip so I guess that explains how AMD was able to hit 7nm so much earlier than Intel.

But reading between the lines, AMD is only showing benchmarks for extremely parallel loads much like they did with ThreadRipper 2. Between the physically separate processing cores and the nature of the marketing benchmarks, I suspect workloads that have high IPC or extremely low latency requirements won't fare so well on this chip.

The weirdest part is to think what Apple might come up with if they were to take the A12X design and connect it on a die like AMD has done here. It would probably make for a pretty interesting Mac Pro.

Seems potentially great.

The problem with apps like Tinder is that they focus essentially only on your skill at taking photos, posing for them and retouching them and secondarily on your appearance, and obviously photo-taking skills are completely irrelevant and appearance is at best secondary even for one-night stands.

Hopefully Facebook can actually deliver matches based more on personality, what someone is looking for and how pleasant a person is in general.
Apologize, but I'm super confused about this product. How is this compared to say codalab (https://worksheets.codalab.org/) for organizing experiments?

> I'm tired of clicking cookie popups. I literally do not care.

That was the whole goal. Many of those cookie popups were not necessary, at least before the time where every website had extensive surveillance into what you were doing. You don’t need to put a popup for login cookies, for example. But websites loved doing it anyways because it would make their visitors annoyed and think that the cookie law was clearly stupid.
Agreed. I've always wondered why everyone freaks out at information like that contained in the article. Controlled, natural decline in my mind is good because there is simply too many people on the planet. The options for addressing that can be lumped into either 1) having society formally or informally agree to depopulate through choices, culture, law, etc. or 2) killing people.

No sane person wants #2. So if there is a natural/cultural shift that is moving toward depopulation that's a huge win because the other options are doing something similar to China's previous one child policy or some other method of forcing or providing incentives to have fewer children.

As long as society is aware of the trend we can plan accordingly. Demographically, we'll be looking more like Japan, but I don't necessarily see the intrinsic harm in that. The planet has a fixed mass and fixed resources. We can't keep playing this game of "infinite growth forever!" in every aspect of the economy. As the saying goes, "that which cannot continue, will not continue."
It depends what you tell them.
> This is particularly concerning given that GDPR specifically requires member states, in enforcing GDPR, allow exceptions for journalism and documents/data "in the public interest."

That may not apply, because of the clever (evil too, but also clever) way they are doing this.

If they were asking as data subjects where the data came from (which data subjects have a right to under Article 15 1(g)), then journalism and public interest exceptions should apply.

But that's not what they are doing. They aren't coming in as data subjects asking about the data held on them. They are coming in as an Article 51 supervisory authority in charge monitoring GDPR in their country. They are claiming to be doing the tasks Article 57 assigns to the supervisory authority, and exercising the powers Article 58 gives them for that.

Presumably, someone who the journalists wrote about alleged that the journalists were not complying with GDPR in how they obtained and used the data.

And so now the supervisory authority is investigating that. Article 58 gives them power "to obtain, from the controller and the processor, access to all personal data and to all information necessary for the performance of its tasks". They can probably argue that in order to decide if a journalism or public interest exception applies, they have to know where the data came from and how it was obtained.

Assuming things are as corrupt as people have claimed, I'd expect they will go in, and if they obtain the information on the sources, they will rule that a journalism or public interest exception applies, and dismiss whatever sham GDPR complaint they had someone file to set this off.
It’s useful to have a singular and plural form, required probably not.
Ask HN: Best bookmark and archiving service?
I bookmark a lot of tweets. But, because I've had the bad experience of going back to an old tweet that I bookmarked to find it deleted, now I always copy out the tweet text and save it.

I've had a similar experience with blog posts, too, so I save them also using Evernote.

Is there a nice service that does bookmarking/organization of notes and automatically saves an archive of any web thing that is saved?
Apologies for the confusion. I simply meant that particular quote hadn't contemplated destruction. And with good reason, there's virtually no incentive for businesses to destroy data they collect. I'm certain he has given quite a lot of thought to data destruction as it relates to data security. I was trying to point out that it was conspicuously absent in his tweet.
does it really need a handoff back to an anchor?

Yes. While the anchor reads on-air, there are dozens of people behind the scenes doing other things. Some journalistic, some technical. All necessary and frenzied.

This isn't really the right medium to describe it all, though. During a serious news event, it can be quite the madhouse. I've never seen a Hollywood film that really captured it.
I would tend to say no if you're actively working and not using it as escapism to avoid social interaction or as a refuge of a solitary life. As with all things, you must be aware of what you're doing to yourself; but that is easy to forget.
RAID5 can be used normally while rebuilding. Albeit at reduced performance. It's definitely NOT read only as that is effectively the same as offline in a production environment.
The thing Yelp has never understood is that when they hide, deprecate, or remove a review for no good reason, the person who posted that review gripes about it to a half-dozen of their friends.
Thanks for the response, that is pleasantly surprising default behavior.
IMO, most critiques are poorly-thought-out and therefore quickly dismissed, so when a well-thought-out critique appears and captures interest, this is surface-level puzzling. Especially to those who are poorly able to evaluate the quality of an argument themselves.
TBH, I don't understand the argument about whole planet. Some nations (or species) can go extinct on their own, while the whole planet doing just fine.

If you know how long a request takes you can roughly calculate how many requests per second your server can handle ... When working in JavaScript/Node.JS one thing that is both sync and very slow (almost 1ms) is console.log ! So next time when running benchmarks, try removing the console.log's =)

It's a mystery to me why we need millions of instructions just to put "hello world" in a pipe though. I'm thinking of learning low level programming, but I'm too scared of what I might find.

I interpreted the idea a little differently then:

While I’ve been dithering about publishing the idea, and someone else has mentioned it first (and may also have thought of it first.) So let me quote Zbigniew Łukasiak, commenting on the Hacker News site on November 7, 2018: “One idea that I have not yet seen is to do the split in the time dimension — sell licenses that convert into a Free Software or Open Source license after a year or two.” [typo corrected]

IMO the purpose of art is psychological and emotional concentration, distillation, and abstraction.

You can express yourself in all kinds of ways, but the ways that connect with an audience are the ones that create a novel and intriguing experience. One of the most reliable ways to generate resonance and intrigue is to generate some element of psychological/cultural/emotional insight and mirroring.

Technical skill in a medium is nice to have, but if there's no emotional payload or cultural reflection it doesn't work well as art.

Some reflections are superficial, over-familiar, and banal, which is where art drifts into cliches and entertainment. Others are so rich and deep people have argued about them for centuries.

Code in itself is unlikely to do any of the above. It can be made with skill and elegance, and even with a certain kind of self-expression. But there isn't usually much artistic psychological mirroring in - say - a kernel scheduler or a device driver.

You can argue that you need psychological insight to write good applications - and that's true. But the difference is that art gives an audience a staged non-trivial experience and insight into itself. Code doesn't usually do that. It doesn't even try to.

(Which is also why generative art is often so dull - it's just code statements flapping around semi-randomly with no expressive purpose or insight.)

I want apples that I can fit three in my mouth at a time, that squish like grapes. I want apples bigger than my head, that I can pop into the oven whole, then cut off the top and spoon out the flesh like custard. I want apples that crunch when I bite them. I want apples that splat when I throw them. I want apples that taste like cherries. I want apples that taste like pears. I want apples that taste like different kinds of apple when you bite opposite sides of the fruit. I want apples that stay the same color when you cut them up. I want apples that are already fermenting by the time you get them home. I want apples that shrivel up all winter into little wrinkly apple-raisins, and then still taste fine in spring.

What I don't want is one apple that's one size fits all. Because the last variety they tried for that was Red Delicious, and it is the worst named variety of apple I have ever eaten. The only way to get worse is to try naturally pollinated grown-from-seed apples, and even then you have to be very unlucky with your pick.

Apple farmers tend to graft the variety clones onto dwarfing rootstock, to control for height and branching, so it's likely that any mutual crop would work just as well for any kind of apple. I seem to recall that someone was trying to get truffle to grow in apple orchards, but I don't remember seeing anything about it actually being successful.
Not sure where you got "immigration laws" from my post.
None, probably, if you’re taking the definition of “open hardware” where you have full access to the microcode running on it and can modify it yourself.
Yet most books have awful spines that prevent the pages lying flat when open. Not because it's useful or logical but because it's cheap and easy for the publisher.
I wonder if the extra computing power achievable by more extensive cooling is worth it, in computation units per watt (including both system power and cooling power).

I keep reading that some data centers switch to liquid cooling, so likely it does. Maybe with advances on this front, we'll see the increase of the CPU efficiency that the fabrication process can no more deliver.
It is $80 a year to get an annual pass, not too bad if you visit a few.
I wasn't really around in its hayday but it had a very low barrier to entry - I remember lots of cartoons being spread years before youtube, you couldn't stream video, but you could wait a minute and then watch a flash animation. You didn't have to be a programmer to make content.
Is "healthspan" an attempt to move the goalpost from "longevity"? I'll allow it, if you can give me any reason to suspect that these additional old folks will be contributing to entitlement programs rather than depending on them.

I meet lots of people in their seventies. There are more of them every day. The majority would be in serious trouble if social security were taken away from them. (If the racists have their way with respect to immigration, change that to will be, when.)
Greetings Tech Lead of Workers!

I have yet to use this specific product and after reading the blog post I'm actually really frustrated that I didn't fully understand the things that I could do with Workers as I had a proof-of-concept app recently that would have been nice to test with since we've had issues with cold start delays on Lambda in similar projects in the past. And that second point that you make, above, ... holy cow; that's going to change the way I design systems and applications for customers.

Personally speaking, I am a fan of CloudFlare like some of the more obsessed are fans of Apple[0]. Every time your company comes out with a new announcement, it's solves some problem I'm experiencing on projects at that moment.

I could write paragraph after paragraph of all of the grief that using your services has eliminated from mine and my customer's lives, but I am certain you get that enough, already. There is no way my customer's appreciate your free tier as much as I, the developer, do. And your UX is awesome. Whichever one of your team mates designed the API button with instructions next to each option in the control panel as a way to onboard people to the API ... it's those stupid little things -- because that's there, when I'm setting up a client with a unique configuration for the first time, I start from a baseline, set it manually, test, and click into that link to see what commands I'm putting into the script should I have another client with similar needs. I probably wouldn't have thought to even look to see if you had an API were it not for those links.

I'm excited to try out Workers next time I have a Lambda need that fits well. Keep up the good work -- it's taking a ton of grief out of my life.

@dang
> What delineation? It doesn't exist.

The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..." [1]. The comma is the delineation. In case law, the exploration of this delineation has produced definitions with precedent [2].

More practically, the linked-to article explores "whether the 'institutional press' is entitled to greater freedom from governmental regulations or restrictions than are non-press individuals, groups, or associations," concluding "the speech and press clauses may be analyzed under an umbrella 'expression' standard, with little, if any, hazard of missing significant doctrinal differences." (TL; DR There is a line, but it does not appear to matter much.)

Unless, you live in a town with no local bookstore, like I do. I can drive 20 minutes to a Barnes and Noble and that's my only option.
Very cool tech. But ridiculously expensive. According to [1] you pay $5 per 10,000,000 requests, <10ms each. That works out to less than 27.8 hours of CPU time per month. And that's assuming near-perfect utilization of that 10ms window and ignoring upfront cost of Pro plan, which this is an add-on to.

Compare that to Linode/Hetzner/OVH/etc. where you get half-CPU for that money (i.e. 360 hours CPU time per month).

And yeah, sure. Not apples-to-apples. FaaS, infinite scalability, yadda, yadda. But computing http responses is still computing http responses. Is this FaaS magic dust really worth 1400+% premium?

People are hard, and cannot be solved with engineering.

I just realized this was the force behind it the whole time, when I read the line about casual versus long-term relationships that made an eyebrow arch up, what you just said is what made me so skeptical.

Reading everyone else's thoughtful responses: of course Facebook doesn't want to adjudicate dating choices, Facebook employs engineers who need $stuff to work on. 'Dating' is another feature for a tech company that sells ads.

I'm against this but I can see the benefits of the same layout.
Not particularly related to Rome, but what you can buy right now for a single socket system, AMD is far ahead of Intel for reasonably priced workstations or small servers with a huge amount of I/O. One threadripper CPU has 64 pci express 3.0 lanes. One lane is 985MB/s.

Working with a $399 threadripper motherboard that has four x16 physical slots, it can accommodate four Intel x710-4 10GbE four port NICs (each electrically x8), for a total of sixteen 10GbE router interfaces in a Linux kernel based FRR system, as a fully software implemented router. And with the RAM capacity of a 32GB system, no worries about FIB size. It's a very different approach to do with a routing entirely in CPU vs ASICs. But this can be built for under $4000.

Or one could just as easily use those four physical x16 slots for four independent 100GbE interfaces.
Oh it's "Free" in the normal way. In that they sell your new address to marketers. I stopped using it years ago when I moved and then started getting catalogs for what felt like every business out there.
