IIRC, Bluetooth LE devices managed by apps doesn't have to be listed in Android, since the app can talk to it without pairing. Devices not meant for pairing with the OS itself (because it doesn't offer interfaces the OS understand) will not always show in scans, because Android can't interact with them without needing additional apps. So instead the corresponding apps has to be used to scan for them, to tell Android that this app can talk to those devices.

Ask HN: What is your experience with Hyperledger Fabric and Sawtooth
I'm currently trying out different enterprise distributed ledger frameworks.
I have tried Corda and now, I have arrived to the point where I want to test Hyperledger's technologies.

As I need to make myself an opinion on those technologies, I've been trying to find feedback from people who tried those frameworks but that wasn't so simple.

So, if you had experience(s) with Hyperledger and/or Sawtooth, I'd love it if you could share your experience.
If you tried those in production, what problem(s) did you face ?
What feature did you love ?
Why would you recommend one over the other ?

When Blue Chip Companies Pile on Debt, It’s Time to Worry
Google can track everything I do, and present much of that to me in a pretty easy to use interface. But it’s unable to show me how much money my clicks generated. Many of the links presented to me are brokered by google, they know how much a click is worth, because it accounts for it when it charges the advertiser, but it can’t tell me how much money was transferred from my click.
Perhaps, but either way it is not great to hear some UEFI has been designed to be "clever" to the point it's trying to hand hold users by deciding what should be in the superblock of a device without your explicit permission.

I can almost forgive it for OS designed for novices but even then they tend to ask permission - however, putting these assumptions into hardware and not even asking permission - that's a broken piece hardware IMO.
Good programmers don’t concern themselves with such trivialities.

JFYI 50% is an adoption achieved in only 23 days after iOS 12 release [1]

"Apple’s latest mobile OS hitting 50 percent adoption across eligible devices in 23 days (via VentureBeat).

For comparison, iOS 11, released on September 19th, 2017, didn’t hit 52 percent adoption until November 6th of that year, taking 48 days, or over twice as long as it took iOS 12 to hit its own 50 percent mark."

So now it is probably higher, though I didn't find any fresh stats.

Disallowing annotations in a 10% border inside the video and only allowing all annotations to cover at most 50% of the screen on top that would cover all or the cases I can think of.

Sounds like most ICOs: the founders can buy their own supply at no cost, making all cryptocurrencies that ICO'd (Ethereum, EOS, etc.) inherently insecure and centralized.

This is why blockchains that distributed their supply via PoW work: you cannot buy your supply without proving you put in the work. The founder cannot fake hash power, so the distribution is "fair."

Despite everyone trying to "improve Bitcoin," I can count on one hand coins that didn't have a significantly worse distribution than Bitcoin, which makes them dead-on-arrival. This applies to coins such as Cardano and Nano as well whose distribution was insecure, making them inherently unsafe.

Unfortunately overly simplistic. The challenge with higher plasma temperatures is that the internal shielding needs to be better than the current graphite tiles. They will upgrade those next and go with more complicated water cooled carbon fiber strengthened carbon tiles.

Note that Wendelstein 7x will never operate to produce actual fission with DT fuel, because that is (a) outside its mission goal, which is to research plasma behaviour at conditions close to what is needed in a power plant and (b) dealing with the neutron bombarding creates all sorts of complexities in terms of the blanket. Not really solved here as well, as Wendelstein 7x is a nightmare to disassemble and upgrade. For a power plant maintenance and serviceability needs to be build into the design. And (c) they don't have the government permission to deal with nuclear material and nuclear waste.

So no, we are not 20% there. But we have proven that (a) the Stellarator actually has wings, and (b) plasma physics so far behaves mostly as predicted. Especially the latter is something to be celebrated, because plasma is nasty in terms of physical properties, really complex to model, etc.

> They can summon people and papers in the jurisdiction of the UK.

He was in the jurisdiction of the UK? Being in the jurisdiction is literally a land matter, being in the UK means you're in their jurisdiction. It's not like you can ignore UK laws because you're American. So your own statement says it was legal. They can compel people to give them evidence. That is what they've done.

I did this google search. It just says "They have powers to compel people (but not Members of either House) or organisations (but not the Government) to give evidence, but these are rarely invoked: the information
asked for is usually provided voluntarily." Basically, Facebook being non-compliant thinking "We're US based and we keep those documents in the US and don't give UK folk access, there is nothing you can do." And they've responded.

> Also, since they are a US citizen traveling abroad, international treaties/law between US and UK would have given him the right to refuse and be compelled through legal process.

He could have gone that route, that would have involved sitting in jail while some judges decided what was what. And it seems like since it was Parliament that did it, it would have to go EU courts or Supreme court which both take a while to get to.

USSR: 19 million (1986) out of population of 286,730,819

3rd Reich: 1945 the party reached its peak of 8 million with 63% being male and 37% being female (about 10% of the German population of 80 million).

North Korea (1988) 3 million out of 19.56 million

So it seems that most one party regimes only have less than 10% of it's population officially registered, hmm. If I am more knowledgeable, I'd make a comparison to medieval nobles and clergies tbh

(The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had 10% of it's population counted as nobles as well in 1750 or so IIRC)
All of the things that you listed though would be solved with a vastly reduced population. Our population growth in the last 150 years alone is just absurd[0]. I agree, 10billion is just a matter of time but even if these 10 billion people lived as sustainably as possible, the lower economic countries will develop and begin requiring more and more resources. Even a fully vegan lifestyle for 10 billion people would cause a huge amount of damage in order to deforest and irrigate produce - far more damage than if world population was 500 million and living with our current western values

I’m not in any loop and nothing about the post came across as douchey. In fact, it seems many people need to be reminded about who is responsible for putting open source code in any project especially after reading the disgustingly entitled comment thread on the recent nodejs security issue.
That depends on whether you are going to be the person who has to find out why corrupted data has been written, when it was corrupted, what the original value was or even worse, whether a given record is corrupted or not because the corrupted ones look exactly the same as some value of non-corrupted ones.

As someone who has been in that boat, I can tell you that request termination due to an uncaught exception is infinity times better than the horror of debugging data corruption, even (or especially) when it only happens ever 10^9 requests.
If you're questioning yourself, then you're alright.
Don't forget the Great Tokyo Air Raid in 1945, when 100K civilians were killed in a single attack (plus they used incendiary bombs and attacked during the night, when people were sleeping). Over a million people was left without homes as a result of bombing and fires that spread. Japanese and German armies did a lot of gruesome things in war, but the Allies actions at the end of the war agains civilians in Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, etc. were IMHO on the edge of being war crimes as well...

Yes, unexplored WWII bombs are a huge problem, which is however not a counter to nuclear fallout being disastrous, not just for people directly sitting on the bombs, but for birth defects etc.

Chemical weapons are considered worse for this very reason, even if they cause less direct causalities than conventional ones.

My biggest problem with the U.S. using nuclear weapons is, as I said, it then going around and telling other nations that they can't have them, as they may(!) use them.

> we can only conclude that patio11's "true statement" is false by a pretty large margin. For it to be true, every birth in 2016 would have to have been to a woman who also gave birth in 2015.

So this has been bothering me, because if every birth in one year is to a woman who gave birth the previous year, and the years have equal birth rates, and we ignore aging in/out of the "fertile" demographic, then the odds of giving birth in one year given that you gave birth last year are 100%, well over 5x the population rate.

The claim is that the odds of giving birth this year given you gave birth last year are equal to the odds of giving birth this year given you're fertile, or in other words that, if you're fertile, whether you give birth this year is probabilistically independent of whether you gave birth last year. This is quite clearly false -- your odds of giving birth in one year are much lower, given you gave birth the year before, than your odds of giving birth in any randomly-selected year during which you're fertile. But my argument above is wrong.

For patio11's claim to be true, 6.1% of women who gave birth in one year would need to give birth again the next year. (Stated equivalently, 6.1% of people would need to have an older sibling born one calendar year before themselves.)

People around me expressed concerns about Google Location History more frequently than about any other privacy topic in recent years (including Snowden). The visualisation of their personal data suddenly seems to make always-logged on Facebook users concerned about their privacy.

But they don't seem to connect the dots and only see Google here. Yet many other parties already have the same data about them, e.g. mobile carriers.

In 2011 a delegate of the German green party asked his wireless carriers for his location data and made a decent visualisation from it, provoking a discussion about metadata:
https://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte-spitz-vorratsdaten

Given that location history is turned off by default and that they, unlike e.g. mobile carriers allow you to delete or download your own data in raw format any time with a button click I am less concerned about it than about other current internet privacy topics. I may be wrong.
The 1755 earthquake is a fascinating historical event in it's own right. It is consensual among historians that it played a significant role in the shift of the balance of power in Europe at the time as well as deeply affecting the philosophy and intellectual thought in the enlightenment period. It is also usually pointed at as the beginning of the study of seismology.

As usual, wikipedia is a good place to start if this piques your interest =)

Is it better to look at per capita or per unit of economic growth? One of my central complaints of the Left is that they tend to find the later unimportant whereas for me it's the former that doesn't matter. Per country is not even on the table I think.
The countries most upset by refugees, are those who have the least. This has also been the case in the UK (communities who hate immigrants and want less don’t have any) and from what I’ve seen of German voting patterns in recent elections.

The fear of them has been amplified, but I don’t believe the actual refugees are the problem.

And, in case you’re wondering about me mixing up refugees and migrants, part of the problem in the UK is that angry people can’t tell them apart, so I don’t actually know which they’re really objecting to.
I feel your pain but it really doesn't shock me at all. Closed source blackbox firmware made mainly by hardware vendors? What could possibly go wrong. Even AMD and Intel are very hit-or-miss with the quality of the software they produce, can you imagine the random mobo maker? Have a look at some of the vendor-maintained forks of u-boot and Linux (whose code they have to publish because the GPL) and see how many bugs you can find.

Meanwhile the software embedded in these boards becomes more and more complex with basically a full blown embedded OS, graphical interface etc...

Software shops have a hard enough time writing robust software these days, ASRock probably has a team of a dozen or so glorified interns copy-pasting from stack overflow (or worse, contracting third parties do to it). I'm exaggerating a bit of course but not by a massive amount from my personal experience working with hardware shops.
