It’s kind of hard to do. Almost certainly dang or another mod would rate limit or shadow ban me.

It’s their site to do as they will, but it strikes me as interesting that they are held up as saints when they are anything but. Note that I’m not saying they are monsters either, but as someone on the receiving end of dang’s conduct I personally cannot agree with this post. It’s not like they are really accountable for their actions.

Nobody seriously thinks that the Chinese system is your "local reputation," it's an East-German style reporting system where everyone informs on everyone else and only the state's interests are served.
What I am hoping for, based on what I would like to exist:

Something more genuine; think older fb (writing on people's walls), snapchat. Facebook/Insta in 2018 is basically a social linkedin - used to showcase yourself as a person. Most people check Insta as a filter for dates.

I think the new generation of social media should focus on smaller groups of friends (5-30), but it should be possible to publish to wider groups. Sounds like google+ circles, but I think snapchat was closer. Short, real snippets from peoples lives.

There is none in recent years. Huawei even offered to open its complete source code to the US government for inspection but got turned down.

There is evidence that the US spy agency hacked in Huawei HQ for years and still the US cannot produce evidence of Huawei wrongdoing. But then again it's possible the US don't want to disclose it's intel source.
G Suite basically sells itself and doesn’t really require an enterprise sales force in the traditional sense. This works because G Suite is implemented from the bottom up, i.e. individuals and workgroups begin using G Suite and then pressure management to adopt it department/company wide.

This is very different from large scale enterprise software or infrastructure sales (cloud in this case) where you need to respond to RFPs, establish a relationship with the C suite, run POCs tailored to the customer’s particular use cases, present a compelling product roadmap, convince the customer that you’re in it for the long term partnership, etc. These are not things Google currently excels at.
The lack of a concrete conclusion was unsatisfying but it does play to their larger point. Overall it was an interesting summary of reading during a period of history and I respect they attempt to make no conclusions of their own except "it was complicated".
yup. it should disappear soon enough.
> Some other members of the “Five Eyes,” a five-member intelligence pact among English-speaking countries that includes the U.S., have also publicly challenged Huawei.

Regardless of the content of the article, I found this quote hilarious: one surveillance agency accusing another group of spying.
The main advantage to NES emulation is that it's a very mature area of study. High-quality documentation is much more readily available than for other systems, and there's more public discussion of the specific problems that NES emulator authors encounter (both primarily on nesdev.com [1] [2]). There's even a sort of tool-assisted speedrun of writing an accurate NES emulator, if you're into that sort of thing [3] [4].

Many people would describe an hour's difference to be a "significant" change, especially when a scale of around 10 hours total battery life is being considered.

No, there's absolutely no evidence that Huawei equipment is a legitmate security concern. In fact it's just the opposite. Huawei equipment has been extensively and continuously studied by the best security researchers in the world. Britain, alone, spent roughly $25 million dollars going over all Huawei equipment with a fine tooth comb and their "big conclusion" was that they can only offer "limited assurances" of Huawei equipment [1]. USA and France and Germany and Brazil have also extensively analyzed Huawei equipment and come up with nothing. Ironically, as the discussion in India and Japan and the Phillipines now show, the Western obsession with Huawei and has only made the case for Huawei's equipment much, much stronger.

shelters might do well in brushfires. Not sure how they do when huge trees are on fire.

Long term solution: don't build there. Even evacuations don't work: nah, my house is too far...I'll leave in a bit...let me just get a few more things etc etc.
> I understand a lot of it is the process of translating machine code from, say, the GB processor to x86, but I’d love to learn more!

You don't really need to translate to x86 per se. You can start off with an interpreter that takes in the 6502 or Z80 instructions (as represented by the binary data in the input ROM), then immediately perform operations based on those instructions. For example, if you're holding onto an in-memory representation of the GB registers, and you encounter an "add" instruction, you would perform the addition and update the registers.

And if you're writing the emulator in a high-level language, you never really think about x86 instructions.

The hard part, then, is timing. You need to make sure the different operations that would be happening in hardware--namely performing the CPU instructions, alongside audio and video operations that would normally happen "in the background"--happen in sync. But that's a later step after you start on your first prototype!
If I had a service to promote on HN, pretty sure I'd make sure to have a couple of HN commenters to rah rah the product. Sorry if I sound cynical, but will youvouch that you are not being compensated in any way by this company? Thanks.
It's one thing Huawei's products have severe vulnerabilities (as every other IT companies do), and another thing the company is actively engaging in espionage.

If this is the best hard evidence the US can bring forward, then the whole allegation sounds entirely political-driven.
If you think that demonstrates a legitimate security concern then every telecom manufacturer is a security concern. Spend some time comparing the known security issues with Huawei routers to Cisco's routers for example.
Maybe I didn't frame it the right way, but there's an inherent difference between simply hold stock, and let red capital profit exponentially in exchange for political risk minimization and shadow clout.
If you can't tell, does it matter? If you're hoping for espionage to be obvious and blatant, I think you must be underestimating people's creativity.

> is there any hard evidence that huawei is a legitimate security concern?

As someone with a lot of huawei in their infrastructure, this is what I really want to know as well.

The US government has lost a lot of credibility over the last few decades with its lopsided foreign policies that completely tip towards self-serving and agenda-pushing rather than decency and public good. There is nothing indicating that this particular issue is any different.

Unless the US government shows hard evidence that the company is harming us, we're not ditching them.

Innocent until proven guilty applies to entities you don't like too.

You all really use the speakers enough to comment about it?
Very interesting. For about the past 2 years, I've been suffering from mysterious symptoms that seem to have no physical origin. My doctors have suggested that it's "in my head" or "stress related illness" and I'm completely open to that idea (in fact I welcome it). However, the biggest problem I've had is, "Where the heck do I go from there?" If it's all in my head, how do I get it out of my head?

I'm definitely going to give this book a read. I am thankful for your suggestion :-)

P.S. I hesitate to mention this, but my wife belongs to some weird religious group here in Japan. They believe in spiritual healing. For this kind of problem it seems really ideal. Unfortunately for me, it's completely ineffective because I just can't take it seriously. She's always frustrated because she can't heal my problems, even though I should be an ideal candidate. Going through the problems I've had has completely changed my attitude toward the potential benefits so called spiritual things. On the one hand I have doctors saying, "It's all in your head, so you can't be cured" and on the other I get "It's all in your head, so praise the divine being and all will be cured". It would be tempting if I could ever stomach that kind of thing.

That's excellent - I looked for one of these when I got my new MBP a couple years ago - it would have saved me from buying new power bricks.

There are other ADHD medications based on amphetamine. Be careful though, they can easily disrupt your sleep cycle and the psychological addiction to the productivity is real.
In most software companies you are required, as part of your job, to communicate effectively with people who might not agree with you. That includes clients and co-workers. Including situations where things are heated and stressful. White board tests are great for finding out if you can stay level and communicate clearly in a stressful situation. Calling things stupid and slamming the door just shows you are not capable of doing a lot of real world software development jobs. Which involve a lot more than coding software.
I don't think the decision to make the bike red was as trivial as it seems. Even though the designer mentioned the bike could have been any color, there's a clear aesthetic precedent for red against black & white (see e.g. schindler's list) which also has a emotional component that I think pairs well with the supposed melancholy of the picture.
Then we shouldn't deal with Cisco, Juniper, and pretty much every other network equipment manufacturer.

What kind of logic is that?

In normal use, the peak travel pattern is essentially a unidirectional peak into the city in the morning and the opposite direction in the afternoon. That usually calls for a load that can handle the peak unidirectional traffic with the other direction being fairly empty, as managing the reversibility of lanes is difficult. (That said, the highway near to me right now does have three lanes of HOV that reverse direction, although that is one of the longest stretches in the entire world of such reversibility that is regularly exercised).

However, there is an important difference between the regular commute and evacuation in terms of traffic patterns. In the regular commute, the flow generally extends only between the suburbs and the city core; in an evacuation, you generally need to go a much further distance, well beyond the furthest suburbs. As a result, you're looking at carrying evacuation routes on roads that are only meant to handle at worst summer vacation inter-city travel, so you see 12 lanes of traffic have to scrunch into 2 lanes of traffic.
This is cool. When I’ve had a big project up against a deadline, I’ve thought of like hiring someone from TaskRabbit or Craigslist to simply watch me and make sure I’m being productive, on-track.
I went from a fully loaded 2015 11” to the new 13. The new one is a big step up—but I also wish the 11 was still an option. I had two generations of 11” prior to the 2015, so I am definitely in your camp.

One thing worth noting was that price / performance / portability peaked in the 2015”
11” air and has not come close since. So you are right to hold up this model.

The thing is I think we are going to see a very powerful ARM based MacBook that will be a real successor to the 2015 11”.

So I’m treating the new mba as a holdover until then.
Many technologies don't commercially take off until the large number of early patents expire after 20 or so years.
Biggest benefit for me, too. The difference is I had to do that with security professionals who thought certain risks were too speculative or that defenses didn't make sense. That mostly didn't change after the Snowden leaks but it did a little and I have some proof. :)

my biggest nitpick with the mbp 2017 is the touchbar, i only use it when i’m forced to press a function or escape key, i dont even know what additional features it has, i’ve seen some instances like quicktime where you scan to a certain spot in a video, but what else is it good for?

to me it seems to drain power, take up mechanical space, i dont even like the aesthetics of the touchbar, truly the appendix of the mbp.

i do like the 32g for the mbp, the air only gets up to 16g
I'm not sure what the OP talked about, but minors are frequently killed as collateral damage in areas where the US is taking military action. This is especially common when explosives are used in heavily populated areas, like the many online videos where a strike is carried out in a city. Assange helped reveal that in some cases, US citizens are killed as well (this was in the movie when he was played by Benedict Cumberbatch).
Makes sense. People respond to the systems they live with.
Is url shortner dead for real? That would be disaster! So many links on web will turn dead. When I use URL shortner, there is an implicit trust that thing will exist for very very long time. It’s cheap to run, it’s useful for analytics. Why this should ever be killed?
I made the MacBook Pro (mid-2011) to XPS (15" i7 9570 4K) switch a few months ago, after putting off an upgrade about as long as possible. I'm still not liking the XPS with Kubuntu 18.04 - to the extent that I'm seriously considering switching back to Apple. At this point, I've got all the major issues sorted (like, not going to sleep when closed, docking station weirdness, etc), but there are constant smaller issues with the sort of things that "just work" with Apple hardware and MacOS.

Hardware wise - it's most of the way to being a great laptop, but has a few aspects that seem "designed by committee". The 4K screen looks really nice, keyboard is pretty good, it's quite fast, battery life is good. But, the trackpad is massively irritating - it's constantly picking up the heel of my hands while typing and causing the cursor to jump and click. The webcam is terribly located, the TB16 dock is a piece of junk, speakers only sound OK if you're working on a hard surface. They still use a barrel connector for power - would've preferred to get power over USB-C (which the dock uses to provide power), and have a second USB-C port on the laptop.

There are several issues with Linux support - if you're successful making an XPS Hackintosh, then those won't be a problem, but I'd encourage getting the lower resolution screen if you're considering the Linux route.
Thanks for sharing! You'd think that with Apple's great Taptic engine, they'd have built haptic feedback into the touch bar by now.
Used to work for me. Now, it mostly just makes me procrastinate with better focus.

I think it may be due to sleep disruption, but I don’t know.
> You should be able to connect to both through Bluetooth.

Did I miss the news about charging devices over bluetooth?
MacBook Air looks dope. The killer feature? No touchbar
I took a quick look at the list of commands and they looked so similar to the primary git commands I use that it seemed like a waste. Better to just learn how to use git.
The Director-General of ASD vs a Huawei employee on Twitter today: https://twitter.com/MikePBurgess/status/1065375012125761536
I see the opposite: all the cop and terrorist shows have them stopping lots of big threats through their databases and/or ignoring the law (eg illegal searches). That's most of them my friends and family watch. You don't see a lot of them where they're constantly talking about how some terrorist is an incompetent idiot, the bosses want terrorist arrests in the paper, they need to motivate them to confess on video for an arrest, maybe supply them some weapons/training, and some guy gets paid $100,000 to do that. And then they do that a bunch more times hyping up the threat. Or just police work respecting Constitutional rights catching bad folks since most are sloppy with fictional Congress, cops and courts shooting down things like Patriot Act.

Nah, it's stuff that reinforces what the government is doing or shows problems that wouldn't lead to rebellion. Pretty consistently. Especially the one or two episodes of Person of Interest I saw.
No, it has not improved. I last used it around a year ago at a company where a lot of young engineers had to pick up a 20 year old code base. Suffice to say, the expertise for ClearCase really wasn't there and it was an absolute mess.
It feels like a support group for touch-bar MBP haters. I mean, do we really need like 30/40 of the top-level comments to be saying the same thing?

I've probably read 100+ comments on this site saying they prefer the 2015 MBP to the new ones. There is no value in repeating that again or upvoting a comment that repeats it.

It's a minority of customers as evidenced by sales numbers, but they seem to think Apple has a duty to cater to them.
DJs don't make music, producers make music.

Many people wouldn't consider electronic music to be music or high brow. Many people are close minded.

Even within the electronic music scene, there's people that will dismiss genres as being not "real" music. A lot of people shit all over tech house for instance.

To be fair, their main competitor, Cisco, has had a significant number of hardcoded password backdoors found in their products. While their reporting and patching story is better, their security track record is still awful. It's believable that Huawei as awful security and backdoors, but that is just as bad as Cisco. The real difference would be if they were actively aiding espionage, which has been talked about a lot but never backed up with evidence.

GitHub is most aweful search that I have regularly used. It doesn’t even have basic dedup capability, forget about any thing slightly less basic like limiting search to file names.

I have spent good chunk of my productivity manually sweeping through pages upon pages of exact same search results to find the snippets I was looking for and hating creator(s) of this functionality from the bottom of my heart. These people shouldn’t be allowed to build any search again without a mandatory year long rehabilitation training camp (unless they are doing this for enemy states during war times).
