I'm Chinese too, I lived in China. The DragonFly must DROP immediately!!
What I'm going to say represents a certain amount of Chinese people.
There are many alternatives in China, such as Bing, Sogou or 360. Why are you so obsessed with Baidu when you claimed that you're suffering? That doesn't make any sense. Those people you claimed as victims of Baidu will not use Google even if google enters China, because of the same reason they don't use Bing or Sogou. On the opposite, dragonfly will affect current Chinese users, they may be trapped in censored version of Google. Using google is already hard in China, please don't make it harder! I wrote the same comment in the GitHub but they deleted it, because Chinese culture is always allergic to different ideas. They don't want our voice be heard and they claimed all Chinese citizens are pro-dragonfly. That's a liar! And that's also the reason why we need neutral Google. Google is the only organisation that stands against Chinese censorship, most of Chinese people respect that. We will remember. If Google wants to make more profit on DragonFly from Chinese, we also respect that. Since Google is a commercial company after all, not a charity. But don't claimed it as a noble cause because it makes us sick. If any one in China stand against GFW, they should stand against dragonfly, it's a humiliation for all Chinese people.
1) Boats need to enter/exit Venice Laguna

2) Venice Laguna is huge, I don't think that could be feasible
I feel like I have fallen in to this trap. I have become fairly well known on an IM platform just by creating/running a lot of group chats and I get loads of people PMing me wanting to chat so I end up having hundreds of small conversations with people I don't know rather than spending a lot of time with a few people I care about. But I also don't want to seem rude and ignore everyone.
Yes and I recall a lawsuit, or something, about Honest being ironically dishonest about the “organic” things they offer. But I’m not willing to fight over this one, so unless they cause a real problem it’s probably going to stay that way.
You don't even need a special skill to see this effect. Just try to remember the name of someone you knew kind of well but haven't thought about in 5 years. Often you'll get that "tip of your tongue" feeling and the name will magically appear in your consciousness several minutes later.

> I feel as if reading proofs and doing problem sets in math books is just manipulating symbols in well-known ways without really understanding intuitively why something must be true.

I have a few thoughts about this. The first is that it is largely up to the learner. Sure, you can just symbolically manipulate things with no real understanding, but no one says you have to stop there (and arguably that's what you should be working on when you read the proof).

The second is that a lot of times the intuition comes later. There was a joke in my school (and I presume others) that you learn algebra in calculus, calculus in DEs, etc. It takes a while to develop that intuition and sometimes just doing it frequently is part of what it takes. I think of it like learning music theory but not really getting it until you've gotten proficient at an instrument.

The third is that some math is just like that. There might be someone somewhere who has some type of intuitive understanding of it, but they are an outlier.

That said, the best learning I've done in mathematics is to take a book without answers in the back and work through it with other people. It's difficult, but very rewarding to really grok the topic and be confident in your answer; and having people you have to explain your solution to helps tremendously.

I wonder how much IT security will start to play into due diligence efforts in acquisitions in the future. It seems there's an inordinate amount of risk exposure in security matters. Then again, I think Equifax is still a healthy company financially, so maybe not.
I agree but what I have noticed from doing some troubleshooting is that applications now-a-days (or rather always) use up more hardware as time goes by. For example, I verified with perfmon that my IDE accessed over 50,000 files when i clicked on 'Open' and the directory tree popped up. It accessed every file in my Documents and other standard folders. Browsers also use up a lot of disk IO. Just by getting an SSD you speed up your web browsing.
Vendor Central which is structured differently than Seller Central
My take is that Apple didn’t just need a good kernel and a good UI, but a good API for making applications. NeXT had the whole Objective-C API which was, well, a lot easier to use than contemporary alternatives. It also had tools like Project Builder and Interface Builder. The only other OS people thought Apple would buy was BeOS.

It took a long time for Mac developers to really buy into Cocoa, many of them saw it as a less-capable version of existing APIs rather than the future of Mac development. That viewpoint wasn’t entirely without reason, at first, but the longer you spent with Cocoa, the more clear it became that Carbon was a second-class citizen.

My other thought is that Apple didn’t just want tech, but the experience to develop it. That’s why acquisitions were at the top of the list. Apple has certainly bought a few other companies just to access their engineering talent.
In SF, I feel people have moved to the city with their own clique that they try to stay within - people will show up to meet their group as part of their evening plans, not to meet new people. They're open to it, but never proactive.

However, the odds improve if you avoid "nice" bars - destination bars are a thing, people show up with their group for a few drinks never intending to visit again. They never socialize so locals go elsewhere.
> IMHO that is not acceptable, nor is their insistence that this is not a problem

It seems the market doesn’t agree with you. Why do you think that is?
Speaking of discoverability, I commonly use --help with a command/program that I haven't used before. And if it doesn't have that option, I do dislike it for that.
The Tale of Rocketbook – The very first e-reader
Right, but that effect is pretty much unrelated to the characteristic impedance of free space and doesn't mean that vacuum is not an insulator.
I've experienced the same things with the same communities. The forums for the outdoor/backpacking community seem to have seen a dramatic slow down in the last few years (I run a used backpacking gear 'for sale' post aggregator and have seen a decline in # of posts over the years - with reddit/subreddits being the only venue that's growing) and the subreddits seem to be 'growing' but their post quality (obviously, this is my opinion and it's not necessarily shared with everyone involved) is suffering greatly.
Some things are based on scan based trade (consignment), but most products aren't sold like that at this time.

It's hard to get vendors to agree to the terms unless they're given control over in-store execution, and it's a lot of set up/hassle to integrate systems. The products that scan based trade tends to be most common with are DSD where someone from that company stops by on a fairly regular basis to deliver or merchandise the product.
I love little programs that just focus on some one thing. Thank you for sharing it. I'm more interested in reading the code than using it, which I hope is cool.
Yes tuis. But clis commonly have a --help option, and/or a man page.
Agreed. The somatic genome changes a tiny amount every cell division (1 miscopy per 100 million bases) due to spontaneous mutations, gene expression and occasional recombination. These may be useful for diagnosing disease and determining effective drug treatments.
This is North American culture in a nutshell and I can't say it's much different in Ontario. I can relate to what you say but unless someone is well travelled or has lived in a different culture for a significant period of time it's hard for them to have perspective or realize why people are so ... standoffish.

It's an individualist culture.

All I can say is I hear ya, but you are preaching to the choir. You likely won't get a lot of acknowledgements here.
I guess that only works if you are considering convex shapes (which sphere and cube obviously are)
So what exactly is "Valve" now without Steam? They don't have new games any more ( And none of the the "newer" ones were anywhere as good as CS ). They don't improve or compete in Game Engine any more, which they did in the Golden Era between Unreal, DOOM, and Source.

What have they got left? Steam OS and Gaming Machine got no where. HTC Vive doesn't look like they can compete with Sony or Oculus.
I traveled to Kampala during grasshopper season about ten years ago. I had never seen anything like the harvest before, it was a great experience. And the fried grasshoppers are delicious!
I agree that evasion is the correct term. This is also something done by some cash only brick and mortar businesses, not just domestic services.
Right. Effectively, we're projecting every horizontal slice of the sphere laterally to a fixed distance from the vertical axis. It's a stack of 1D projections, not a single 2D projection.
elements.tv gets my vote, then! :)
I did write the original headline. I did not write the article though.

In reading the article the question arises naturally but I wasn't able to answer it because I am not an expert of the domain. I thought that maybe others could be interested in the question so I posted it in hn. The conversation ended up being knowledgeable and interesting.

And yes, I would love these guys (or at least this solution) to succeed in continuing Moore's Law, why I wouldn't ?

Lol at whoever downvoted all my comments.
I see a future where the npm-style ecosystem develops with the JIT running inside the kernel, so you end up running a "trusted" application ends up running a whole lot of untrusted code via dependencies. Usually process isolation gives you some limit on how much damage something like that can do.

Also, if you are 100% sure that the code in it is trusted, then there really is no reason to sandbox it, right? If the intent is to only run trusted code, why is this article about spectre mitigations?
Please let me know if you have any ideas for reversing this.

I help moderate a mid-size subreddit (100,000-500,000 subscribers) and we're completely overrun by low quality content.

We tried adding new rules, silently removing/banning offending users, and making repeat announcements, but it seems like it's too little too late. A rehashed joke post can easily receive 100+ points in an hour while a good post may receive, at most, 20 points in the same time.

> How much are people really running other than a web browser on a desktop/laptop now-a-days?

I’m definitely not a normal user, but I’m running emacs, st, tmux, stumpwm, dunst, gocode, cupsd, sbcl, redshift — oh yes, and Firefox too. Honestly, I’d love to be able to get rid of my browser, because then I could run emacs in a terminal and get rid of X entirely.
I had a similar experience. Windows 2000, ME, 98 and 95, Suse Linux, BeOS. BeOS was way better at multitasking, video playback, etc. I really lamented it's fall.
Quantity has a quality all its own, as they say.
You can install this plugin without repercussion. Let's not be dramatic.
Ah, I see you're not in medicine. Physicians will repeat studies of arbitrary cost at the drop of a hat.
I also maintain my own blog. A $10 a month VM on Digital Ocean buys me a server. I have managed to solve the chat problem as well. I have A Synapse Matrix.org server for chat. It's perfect end to end encryption. It's a pain to get people to actually use it but once they do it's actually really reliable and has never failed me once since I've started running it. I use it with my SO and I know that what we say to each other can never ever be spied on by a third party including the pictures and videos we send to each other over the server. The clients on Android, iOS, OS X, and Windows are all actually very good. I use them all. On top of this I run a blog where I wrote the source code myself from the ground up. Framework and all. No normal person is gonna do that.

What we actually need is an application using a subscription based protocol.

We can't have one company have defacto control over pictures, texts, discussions.

I didn't quit Facebook and Instagram because I wanted to stop sharing. I got tired of being spied on. I got tired of the ads. I got tired of random people trying to sell me something. I would much rather people hosted their own photo feed which could be a literal exact clone of the Instagram photos. Host just that and let me subscribe to a standard feed. It should cost literally pennies a year to host your content.

People subscribe to your "feed" by "friending" you. When you see this friend request you set what they can see right there. And you'd be able to run a feed for a group, personal, business, whatever. It would let you publish pictures, events, and discussions. No one can ban you from the platform because it will be ubiquitous like email. You can even put in public/private keys and make it super secure.

This is what we need.

How do you host it?
How do you make it easy to use?

These are the problems we should tackle.

I was thinking a blockchain would be a convenient "free" host. It's just slower than I'd like but for posting events or photos I'd be willing to wait a few minutes.
Is there a link to an original publication?

I really doubt that you want to do the latter.
Valve is still a quite an admirable game studio. Not only do their top games CS:GO and Dota 2 have large and healthy player bases, but they also have large and vibrant competitive scenes.

I don’t compare Valve to the likes of Nintendo or Bethesda anymore wrt game development, but instead to companies like Riot and Blizzard. These studios revolve around franchises-as-services and don’t release new IP often. Their core games are pillars of the competitive, casual, and streaming games scenes.

I do miss the days of more frequent releases, though. Hooray for Artifact!
Being the worst is not as bad as people think. McDonalds has the worst burgers and Taco Bell the worst tacos, yet both massively successful operations.
We've been using GoGet for the past 10 years as our primary family car and our average spend is (checks YNAB) $162.50 per month. That includes hiring a car for a week at Christmas & Easter for road trips. GoGet also pays Petrol so we literally only have to pay tolls on top of that cost.

Admittedly we live within a 5 minute walk of a train station that goes straight to not just our jobs but also our son's school. But still. Not a bad deal.

GoGet isn't in the driveway like the article, but there are 3 cars within a 5 minute walk and larger cars within 10. (We can go from a Yaris to do the shopping to a long wheelbase van for Ikea or a 10 person people mover for the holidays).
Hmmm....I wonder if a hotel would be considered “retail”.

That could make booking a room at the Plaza pretty fun, and paying the bill would be hysterical- especially if paid in twenties!

It's easy for an attacker on your WiFi network, in some cases.

Your WiFi network might be encrypted, which might be a broken encryption, or might be unencrypted to discourage excessive use.

Does this relationship generalize? Hypothetically carrying further, if you take the derivative of the area (wrt radius) you get 2pi. A one dimensional circle is a line segment of length 2*r right? So how is 2 pi related to a line segment? Is it in some way analogous to the way perimeter and area are for 2d or surface area and volume? I don't know the answer.
Wright went out of his way to design things in a way that greatly reduces longevity and complicates maintenance for little additional benefit.

When engineers do that with cars we call them German.
I love the RAM layout, a great benefit of being able to pick your pin layout on an FPGA. If you can do that it is a no brainer, but in general you don't really have to worry about routing your 100MHz RAM so carefully. That is pretty slow as things go and with a 3 meter wavelength the transmission line effects over a few inches with a couple vias don't do all that much. There are a lot of dev boards out there with that speed class of RAM routed relatively far and ugly.
Not there are several vastly different genetic identity tests. You would game each kind differently.

The oldest was blood types. This can in sone, but not all situations exclude paternity. Next more detailed is antigen matching for transplants. These have a hereditical character.

Police forensics use about 30 markers in the non-coding DNA. Good enough for identity matching, but not for disease or ancestry.

The ancestry companies look at seceral thousand markers via custom silicon-biochemical chips.

Then there is exome full sequencing. This is just 2% the codes for protein.

Finally full sequencing of 90%+ plus of all bases in the genome. Depending on the techniques some have difficulty with repeated DNA sequences, usually in the junk areas.
Just because a system is single user doesn't mean there can't be a permission system and/or multiple levels of privilege.

A stereotype needn't have a statistical significance. In fact, it often doesn't.

You're right that it a human equivalent, but most people form their models from statistical samples that are woefully small, biased, and fail to control for other factors... and worse still, stereotypes aren't actually informed by their own observations, but mere hearsay.
Experimental cancer drug repurposed to prevent Parkinson’s
I won't evaluate whether or not your claim is true, but I waited 6 years to join reddit (and when I did, I immediately blocked and unsubscribed from all the main subreddits) and never made an account on YouTube. So I feel like I should be able to criticize platforms until they reach a stage that I want to use them, right?

One presumes that people are not in any way obligated to use garbage platforms they don't like to consume content they don't want in service of some higher commitment to a platform that does not exist but might emerge later under ideal circumstances. Rather it is typically the platform operator's job to manage the platform in a way that attracts content of interest, right?

And surely interesting content emerging is not a given. Voat is 4 years old (older than reddit and YouTube were when I started using them, at a point where most of their content was not fringe stuff). The front page is: Far-right politics, libertarian politics, some weird political thing about the french, a guy complaining about YouTube censorship, MAGA memes, MAGA memes, a picture of a cute cat cuddling with Nazis, an attempt to bandwagon someone who wrote a code of conduct, a meme about how George HW Bush is in hell because he doesn't support Trump, PewDiePie, Linux is over because of code of conduct, a meme about how there are only two genders, a meme about how liberals don't believe in fumigating ant hills because they're weak, a video about how George HW Bush is a piece of shit because he likes Israel, a post rhetorically asking why anyone is sad about George HW Bush dying, a Washington Times article about "illegal immigrants", a conservative article alleging Hollywood are all pedophiles, a nazi webcomic, an article about how Democrats stole all the California house seats, a post about how it would be good if someone lynched Emmanuel Macron and how that would be enjoyable, and a meme about how right-wingers should ironically wear burqas to own liberals while they are beating liberals up, a meme of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying she's a stupid idiot (this is a "parody" -- not actually clear what it's a parody of, but whatever).

There are a couple I didn't copy-paste here because the titles have racial slurs in them and I couldn't figure out a way to summarize the content without repeating them. So I hope you'll provisionally yield that Voat has not yet grown beyond what you call the "startup platform" phase.

I guess it's possible that Voat is just about to turn the corner, but if I had to guess...
I have been super-unsatisfied with the status quo of Cloudwatch; it is not a production grade logging system if it allows you to keep zillions of streams in logs but provides A) no way to search through them all to find the last time you had a certain error containing a certain string (grep -r -i on EFS plain text logs is better than Cloudwatch!), and B) no way to trend specific errors/issues over time.

It does seem like as of last week's announcement they are starting to try to fix this. I was annoyed we had to log stuff to both Cloudwatch and Splunk to try to get decent logging.
This assumes the photos of yourself are for you.

Sometimes other people do genuinely want to see you in a photo. I like seeing my friends and family in pictures, and they like seeing me in pictures. You can take it to an extreme, but a lot of the, frankly, bordering on self-righteous conversation around selfies on HN tends to imply, intentionally or no, that any selfies == gross narcissism instead of, you know, a genuine way to connect to people in the present and to connect in with the past once you're a few years out.
Surprisingly, Rowhammer-like memory problems go back to the early 1950s. Early computers (such as Manchester Baby and the IBM 701) used electrostatic Williams tubes as their main memory, storing data as dots and dashes on CRT tubes. One problem with Williams tubes was that if you accessed a location on the screen multiple times, the charge on a neighboring spot could be affected, flipping the bit. (Of course back then this was a correctness issue, not a security issue.) The quality of the tube was measured by the read-around ratio, the number of times you could read a bit without corrupting the neighbors. A good tube might have a read-around ratio of 50. Nobody missed Williams tubes when they were replaced by core memory.
Because markets summarize information in a single variable, price, and thus make it difficult for consumers to observe the erosion of quality that goes along with lower price. This is especially true if there is a concerted effort to pretend that the loss of quality is minimal or unimportant. Thus we end up with cheap crap everywhere; within a decade people have forgotten that they ever had a higher-quality product available and accept the new, lower standard as their baseline.

My experience (in SF/Oakland for 30+ years) is the same. Trouble is, I've grown so accustomed to it that I probably project the same Bay Area snotty hostility when I visit other places.
