The last couple of years we have had between -36 F to 97 F. Or -38 to +36 C. I like to be able to tell when the roads might get slippery (below +3 C or so), when the car will get problems starting if you forgot to plug in the heater (about -25 C), When it's time for the shorts (+18 C?).

Also handy to know that I need 3-6-3 ammounts to make pancakes. 3 eggs, 6 litres of milk and 3 dl flour (that will be meassured with grams because easier, can just pour everything into the bucket and press "tara"). Flour weighs 60 g per dl. Put bowl on scale, start it. Pour flour in the bowl until it reads 180 g. Reset and pour in milk until it says 300 g. Mix until perfect. Add eggs. Reset scale and pour another 300 g and mix again. Start frying!

Doubt it. As a non-USA incident on a non-USA airline, compensation will probably end up being a new plane for the airline and a thousand dollars per passenger for funeral expenses.
The complexity of UNO (2010)
Indeed. The original description of Lisp included something like 10 primitives. That's it. Numerous examples of full-blown Lisps have been built from just those few primitives. One article I read even showed how arithmetic can be built from car and cdr.
What I like about react is that it's batteries NOT INCLUDED, allowing me to choose tools best fit to the job. I think it's good that there's a healthy choice between vue and react, however!

Here's something we see in practice:

"- In 1965, the average tenure of companies on the S&P 500 was 33 years. By 1990, it was 20 years. It's forecast to shrink to 14 years by 2026.

- About 50 percent of the S&P 500 will be replaced over the next 10 years, if Innosight's forecasted churn rate holds. "

What are you seeing in practice that makes you think the truth is the opposite of what this data suggests?
I feel a little bad about it, but scaring corvids have become somewhat of a past time for me.

You can get very close to them, when they are foraging on the ground, if you turn your face away from them and only look indirectly. Then when you've gotten close you stare directly at the poor bird. Except for jackdaws, I haven't met any corvid that isn't gravely startled by a such sudden leer.

City birds are very used to us humans paying them no attention and happily dart around our legs. But if they get the sense you are watching, can no amount of french fries make them take the risk of sticking around.
J&J is a conglomerate brand, but only that. Amazon is increasingly not only the place where you buy everything, but also the conglomerate that owns everything you buy.

lol?(Windows user perspective) Unless you run it on 10 year old hardware yes, terrible performance. Notepad is better. But if you have at least an ssd and 4gb of ram, I don't see any issues.
Experiments. Proof of concepts.
I hadn't until you mentioned it. It's possible.

But even then there are endless issues with drivers. Like research your chipset, find a repository on github, and then clone and build it yourself kind of issues.

Trust me, I like the idea and would love getting past our two party system. But Linux will never be easy.
In fact the current AdBlock has no relation to the original AdBlock:

>AdBlock's efforts are not related to Adblock Plus. The developer of AdBlock, Michael Gundlach, claims to have been inspired by the Adblock Plus extension for Firefox, which is itself based on the original Adblock that ceased development in 2004.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdBlock

And as another commenter pointed out, uBlock was transferred to another developer and the original developer forked it to continue as uBlock Origin. Why still doesn’t make sense to me.

It’s a mess and it’s all so morally questionable.
I work in urban planning and have to say theres a lot of empty puff that comes under 'smart cities'. Sensors and IoT can help with some things but are more about efficiency or informing of issues rather than solving the issues themselves. The title here is quite ridiculous for the articles content

Credit specialist
I have lost money and my FICO Credit Scores went from 635 to 450 in 2 months because of 2 fake credit repair freelancers I paid to take care of my Credit as both promised me 780+ Scores in a week time. I spent money upfront ($500 each time) and nothing but headaches and bad Credit was the result. I saw a comment below 2 weeks ago on YouTube about a well-spoken credit expert help a woman named Caroline fix her Credit in a relatively short time. I became curious and wondered if he could help me fix my poor Credit and eliminate bad debts. While conversing or negotiating with him, I noticed he is very educated. Eventually he fixed my Credit and gave me a reason to smile and be happy again. He removed the bad records on my report and raised my score to 792, here is his email address; REPAIRWIZARD4@GMAIL.COM and direct number; +1 520 441 6561. You can trust him with your credit report, he is a credit expert.
What would make you think negotiation is arbitrary? I my experience, it's all about specifics.

I don't see a reason to think true scarcity matters at all here. The hard part about generally isn't making doses 100 through infinity. The hard part is making the first dose, and to a lesser extent the next few. This is why drugs get special patent protection. That is, artificial, government-enforced scarcity.
>Maybe that's what I'm saying: why not just allow any random chemical to be given to people (without intention of standards-body registration) as long as the prescribing doctor is willing to do clinical-trial-like monitoring for adverse side-effects?

Snake oil, first. Imagine if e.g. Herbalife could claim their pills cure cancer? Good luck getting signal through all that noise.

Second, the inevitable democratic anger of the masses when the next 'cure for the common cold' (which I'd be happy to sell you, btw) starts killing people.

Not to say there aren't (large) improvements possible to the regulatory process, but the process itself exists for some very important reasons.

I wrote a tool[0] that converts Erlang style Dialyzer messages to enough of Elixir to where the Elixir formatter can pretty print it. This isn't an intractable problem, but the source tool does really bizarre things so the output so it wound up being really annoying to deal with the quirks. Still not quite done, but it's in a workable state to where messages can be dealt with individually when the errors are poor.

It's still easy after 35 because nobody is forcing you to have kids.
You're looking at the 90th percentile, he's looking at the 99th percentile. Claiming things like "everyone uses UTC internally" is obviously wrong when many people just a few years ago were still setting up systems in localtime when dual booting with Windows. Upgrading to ext4 is also not a rare edge case.
As dnautics alludes in a sibling commment, the effect you're talking about is subtly floorplan dependent, and that's going to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. I don't think it's completely impossible that there's a common non-idealness to FPGAs, but I also don't think that the common non-idealness is going to involve using disconnected cells as some kind of antenna.

RDMA may bypass the CPU but it doesn't bypass PCIe. It still goes through it, which is slower than NVLink on Power9 (~16GB/s on 16x PCIe 3.0 vs ~150GB/s on NVLink).

Data has to be copied up to the GPU for processing. It has to be brought down to be sent as a result set somewhere.
If everything you're doing fits in GPU memory, you've only done that once. If it doesn't, you need to copy data up and down. You may need to do that for intermediate results too.

This adds up.
That's a poor UI for an article. Just say what you want to say! If this article were written in the hypothetical, it would make the point much better.
But what is “these” and why would the same points not apply?

The fewer people that are suffering a given disease, the lower return to curing it. Moralizing doesn’t change that; it just means you’re willing to prioritize it over cures that help more people.

Yes, creation of disease cures is a tragedy of the commons, but the point is that there are worse tragedies of the commons. What consistent, defensible decision procedure favors a different response to this one?
So maybe it should be more like the UL model? Let the insurance companies fund the proof of safety/efficacy, but it's not mandatory.
They had a staff of skilled people who had been working on the project for years, most likely in an (expensive) laboratory that was purpose-built for the task of producing a transgenic virus destined for humans.

It’s not cheap to produce at any scale, and it’s typically more expensive to do small-scale production.

A million dollars can barely fund a startup for a year; it’s insane to think you can maintain a drug production facility on a tiny budget like that.

Well, I know they do No 2 and it seems to work a bit. My guess is they never bring up that motivation. Just say they hid their design to stop Chinese copycats and delay hackers.

Ask HN: Do you measure web performance?
The web is very slow these months. Did major sites stop monitoring performance? When has it stopped being a priority? Do you compare library performance before selecting - or just take the API you prefer as a developper?
Sorry, I couldn’t delete the comment a few minutes after making it, so I did the next best thing. I can’t do any more now.
Beijing Mode is probably what they really meant, but Bioweapon Defense Mode is less-bad.
I do not want to use Cloudflare, because I will want to control it by myself, and also because Cloudflare fails to have some stuff that I would use and also it has stuff that I do not want. Also, SSH and HTTPS are not necessarily the only protocols that you might want.
That is interesting because I am still trying to figure out how people do CD. Of course I know CI, we have it all set up. But we still work in sprints with manual testing and release every 2 weeks.

I could spend time on marking features 'frontend only, low impact' which we could deploy pretty much the same day. Still there are quite some features that need bigger amount of work where they might be 'done' by dev but I am sure they are not actually done, because security, because error checking. It of course is usually that one dev has his not tested feature merged to develop and then also some other dev has production ready one, then if one feature is production ready, I would have to put also some time to make release and pick only changes for accepted change. I am not sure that additional work to check what we can release ' right now' will pay off vs just taking time for fixes on acceptance by people who were working on code and then release it (after 2 weeks o 1 depending how fast it is done in sprint).

So are you having people who work only on picking changes that are low impact, or working on making stuff production ready by picking from develop?
Maybe you pick changes by yourself, or you just defer manual testing to end users and rely on automated tests unit/integration?

p.s. Funny thing with automated tests is they are good at keeping old stuff working but not for testing newly developed features where actual tester can test new GUI/ new features. If you have a lot of GUI changes you cannot automate first tests...
It makes sense. If BFR works, it will make all the rockets obsolete, by simply being fully reusable. Hence the only sensible thing to do is to concentrate 100% of the efforts on it.

Companies that have information advantage will continue to push into new markets and absorb or kill incumbents.

These are complimentary phenomenon actually.

The reality is somewhat more complicated than that. Signal processing at this level is statistical in nature, so the threshold itself is effectively timing-driven.

Hard to explain in a few words, but the principle of the lock-in amplifier is a good place to start.
>How about the ability to create multiple components in the same .vue file?

Can't you use df.mycolumn in that position, and get the completion?
Nit: 99.5% doesn't account for the far greater efficiency of the EVs themselves, typically 100+ MPGe, thus the true reduction is even closer to 100% (fwiw, my roof produces all of my EV consumption most of the year).
I do, because Google ranking depends on it. I usually run my sites through GTmetrix (it's free) and Hammer the webserver with 100+ parallel requests.
At risk of being labeled a "neoliberal idealist," why isn't the answer here simply taxing tourists more?

Pigovian taxes have been a thing for fifty years, yet they are still seldom used. It seems like such an obvious solution to me that the fact it's not used more often (ex: towns banning airbnb vs taxing it) suggests to me that I'm missing something obvious.
This is really an issue of the quality of public transport and general infrastructure. Southern Germany, Bavaria, has a very good railway system.

Even the regional railway lines often get you faster where you need to go than a car would, especially during rush hours.

There's also the rarely mentioned factor of parking space becoming increasingly harder to find and more expensive in city centers. In my region, this is being solved by building affordable, or even free, parking decks near subway stations on the fringes of the city.

But even with that the parking situation still remains tense.

This makes sense when your business strategy requires that you create a vibrant business ecosystem and the current support for these businesses is broken or inadequate. Focus and domain expertise become a competitive advantage and you can reap value from both the fund and the main business by creating value in the ecosystem.
To me, this is akin to a game company raising the price of a game. The costs are already sunk. The only thing that counts is setting a price on copies of that game. Those who pirate copies of the game incur to loss of revenue because those people would've never been able to pay for it. It becomes a question of projecting the maker's morals onto those who did not pitch to the coffer instead enjoying the game like a dirty thief. This is crazy, the only loss to the manufacturer is the uncomfortable idea people are enjoying or benefiting from your creation for free. Yet there are developers who happily contribute to open source projects and games with little to no recognition or reward.

Likewise with drug manufacturing, it's the same idea. It's illegal to copy a pharmaceutical drug and take it yourself and others without the approval of the patent holder. Yet, it is the patent holding party that determines how many licensed copies it is willing to sell. Thus, they are able to take the moral high ground in pricing this drug, but it's the same principle as above-pony up for my idea, shame on you for benefitting from it and not contributing to my wealth.

I really do think this company is out of touch with reality. All in all, I feel like this only earns them bad press, especially after Martin Shrekli debacle. There's also a potential for a lawsuit, based on human rights I'm sure.

There are actually quite a few aspects of your blog that I think we will emulate in the near future, with a twist, to solve more similar problems. This problem set was super different though.

Adding a public facing SSH interface to our production hosts was a bit of a non-starter and we would have had to hack together auth on top of that (not just for us, but for our customers too). That's a lot of additional surface area and operational burden we didn't want.

My company is building a device which collects data from a car while you drive. We wanted to group those in "trips" on a very simple logic. If the device sends any data for the first time, start a trip and if there's none for more than 5 minutes, close the last trip.
Problem was that the source of the time is coming from the device which had a lot of bugs (e.g. time was in future, time is from year 1970, time is not in order...). Management also decided that it's too hard to fix them on the device. At the end it took me 3 full weeks +/- to make it work. At the end I was able to convince the management that some bugs were too serious and required fixing

ICOs and DAOs both present difficult legal problems vis-a-vis the SEC and securities laws.

Where others have failed we believe we have developed a legal framework for both a non security/unregistered ICO and legal DOA.

To legitimize our legal position we submitted a No Action Letter to the SEC. Uniquely this is not just another legal article/arguement, because the SEC will not respond to a hypothetical No Action Letter.

In parallel to the legal concept we have launched a Delaware LLC which will follow through with the ICO and execute itself pursuant to a decision tree depending on the SECs response to our letter. The decision tree even includes a possible branch with a vote of the project supporters (the “51% attack”).

Our SEC letter and our Delaware legal documents are open source if you are interested feel free to request and we will send you links.

I think ReasonML has a lot going for itself. However, there is so much focus on React and web rendering that it seems that folks do not realize that it can be used as a powerful modern syntax for OCaml. Hence these blogs posts.

It appears not:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=concatenate%2C...

My understanding is that when you catenate A and B you concatenate A with B.

That is, the catenation of A and B is AB, but the concatenation of A and B is A (catenated with what - we haven't said) and B (ditto).

Of course this is basically trivia and the word that's used is concatenate.
>more about efficiency or informing of issues rather than solving the issues themselves

Isn’t identifying issues a prerequisite for solving them?
I started with the glimmer of a hope that perhaps network sync could be made stateless, went down a months-long rabbit-hole of research, and ended up writing a novella-length article about CRDTs: http://archagon.net/blog/2018/03/24/data-laced-with-history/

So many days spent thinking, sketching, trying to swallow a concept that seemed far to big for my jaws—only to suddenly find myself on the other side, with this arcane knowledge fully internalized.

Going from a few wayward thoughts to a working proof-of-concept was the most professionally satisfying thing I've done. It felt like alchemy.

I'd have to double check, but my recollection the last I looked into the Freestyle Libre monitor was that the Reader cost about $150, and the monitors (the things that attach to your arm) cost somewhere around $100 to $150 a month. Not cheap, but significantly less expensive than the older style monitors, and reports are that the Freestyle Libre is much less uncomfortable then the old style monitors.
Once seen as crime scene detritus, bullets and ejected shell casings — which have unique sets of scratches, grooves and dents — are recognized these days as vital pieces of evidence.

I don't understand this. Checking guns for rifling marks has been a thing since rifling. Seriously, when has it not been routine to do scientific analysis on crime scene shells and bullets?

I grew up in Denmark and have a fine-tuned sense for metric measurements (1 mm, 1 cm, and 1 meter). In my small town is more common for craft people (~ "contractors") to compete on who had the more accurate eye measurements. It's truly a sight to behold.

TL;DR: any measurement unit can be learned; Metric strength in the simplicity of conversions.

Yes fully agree with what @temporal said above. I too have a huge Gdrive folder just filled with ideas categorised under b2b, b2c, fun, etc. Jotting down an idea free us the hold it has on your brain and your fear of losing it also goes away.

One side effect of doing this is what i call my ideas are marinating. Something which may sound way awesome at a moment may lose all its appeal in a month's time. So it's good to let your ideas sit for a while anyway.
