Payment processing is so heavily regulated and dependent on networks, it's hard to make the case that they are a normal businesses. When you have KYC obligations, you have to collect intelligence on your customers and supply it to the government, and that's not something a hotdog stand or a bookstore needs to do. Payment companies are different.

Patreon may well be within its rights and contracts to sabotage business partners it disagrees with, but the artificial barrier to market entry of a license for processing payments makes their righteous posturing a bit vainglorious.

I get these people don't do principle, but it's worth considering the broader impact of dispensing with it.
Especially when Google itself is promoting Flutter which in a way is a non-native UI framework. I think as long as a framework is performant and implements well the design guidelines of the OS this is what really matters

What's the status on sharing this data? Will I have my genome sold to marketers if I do this, or will they delete their copy right after?

At least I'm in the EU, thank god for the GDPR.
Pretty stupid article imo.

City planning has little to do with loneliness.

If a city council wants to combat loneliness they should provide its citizens with public spaces where they can organize non-profit meetups for free.

That's what we have where I live. Meetups.com is full of stuff from just social gatherings to nerdy stuff like programming and linguistics.

It's great for new arrivals who have no contacts yet.

With those facilities in place, the only thing feeding your loneliness is yourself.

Edit: Misspelled the domain but you can figure it out yourselves so I'm not guilty of plugging a service.
I don't know if nothing is the word. I never used Clojure before and just noticed the REPL takes 5 seconds to start here ;)
And lack of time to do anything. Nobody has time or energy to do social activities during the week after work. One weekend day lost to household errands and maintenance leaves one day of rest and socializing. Obviously family and long time friends prioritised above newcomers.
This article written by a non-expert. The cost of genome sequencing has been relatively flat in the last couple of years; and Illumina, being the monopoly, has no incentives to reduce the cost of sequencing. Also; despite what some commenters seem to think, it doesn't get to keep the data people sequence on its devices, any more than your printer company owns the content of what you print.

One would likely get sequenced many times over a lifetime - a so-called "liquid biopsy", meaning sequencing circulating DNA & tumor cells in your blood, can catch aberrant cancer-related mutations earlier and help predict cancer / catch it earlier. Once this is mature, people will likely take this test every 5 years etc.
I have drastically reduced Facebook to like once a month or less (and even then, using only "mbasic.facebook.com" because their normal site is annoying to use). It takes less than a minute of my time because I rapidly realize how little value there is in the content. At this point their value is almost entirely to act as an address book because I’m a bit too lazy to dredge up at least one alternate contact method for each friend. Still, I think my “reconstruct normal address book and delete Facebook” day is coming soon.

Sadly, part of the content issue is Facebook shooting itself in the foot because they refuse to show a simple chronological list of what people have been up to. They literally already have lots of content that would be interesting and they refuse to show it, instead opting for these weird algorithmic “views” that won’t even stay consistent between the time I follow a link and go back to the previous page. No wonder I quickly lose what little interest I had.

I would love if social networks were banned from search results too. I am tired of Googling things on “the Internet” and finding lots of results that are essentially “we showed this entire page to Google but all you get is a log-in page”. If your site is displayed in search results, you should be required to have at least a paragraph or two “always on” so that I see something when I click the link, instead of absolutely no content and a log-in/create-account page. If you want to hide 100% of your content, make your own damned search engine.
And threads and locking mechanisms.

And decent date and time management
There actually hundreds of companies doing this in China; but much fewer in India.
To respond to the implied dig, I've spent months to years using the following distros on desktops and laptops, in no particular order:

Gentoo, Red Hat, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Mandrake

So I've had plenty of exposure to three major package management systems and a bunch of distro-managed repos, from the perspective of a desktop user (I've used Linux on the server plenty, too, but that's less directly relevant). I've poked around in a few others in a desktop context—Slackware, Arch, Nix, probably more that I'm forgetting.

I also used Macports for over a year.

Homebrew's the most pleasant overall solution for managing user-facing desktop software that I've used, by a long shot.
this is funny because chit chat is generally very welcomed on the nyc subway (and practically everywhere else), especially on the weekends when you can talk to tourists and give directions and have nice exchanges. Obviously rush hour isn't a great time to chat but otherwise tons of people just love to talk about anything, anytime. It's highly contrasted to how very very reserved everyone is in Atlanta (my current home) and almost every other US city outside of new york.
Over the years I've sometimes found groups arranging drop-in tennis or drop-in ping-pong. I made friends there, and it was a major part of my life. But none of those ever seem to last for more than a couple of years. Whoever controls the tennis courts eventually bans the group or intentionally schedules other things at their regular time. They always tend to view somebody scheduling things on "their courts" as an intrusion. The ping-pong meets a similar fate, especially since it is already hard to find places with more than one table, so as more people start to show up the drop-ins are told that they are no longer welcome. Private clubs are the same way - they monetize their resources, so they don't want "bursts" of activity that would inconvenience the regular flow of resource availability. I know this from experience (I've belonged to probably a dozen tennis clubs over the years.)
A command line interface lets you communicate to the computer using language. Learning a language is something you can practise and get better at until you find that you're able to communicate very complicated tasks that the original authors of the programs had never even imagined.

Graphical user interfaces are a caveman interface. You go to the market, see what's on offer, point to it and grunt. That's fine as long as you see what you want. But you'll never do anything that you can't already see.

It's not easy, though. Nobody pretends that it is. But learning to read and write wasn't easy either and you managed that. What if our education systems didn't enforce that? How would you ever know the power you're missing out on?
This isn't the point though. There's not much communism, if at all, in China, at least in the original sense of communism.
Agree racism in policing is a real and core issue. Racism in other walks of life is a real problem too, for example in journalism or social studies: i.e. when any kind of (un)ethical behavior is directly linked to 'race', either expressly or insidiously implied which was my point. The obfuscation that takes place here is that the cause of police violence is reduced down to 2 factors (race and individuals), at the expense of such things as actual racism, individual drug abuse, a propensity in police stations to pick that same sturdy officer for difficult and potentially dangerous situations, general militarization of the police, a culture steeped in violence, and a cultural tendency to see crime (any problem really) as something you solve by bombing it out of existence. Etc.

I actually like Instagram. I only got on it a year ago and it has nice features like “you’ve reached the end of your new feed” and stuff like that. Takes me 30 s to go through every day and see what my friends have posted.

The stories stuff let’s me tap to move through. Overall, quite pleased.
Perhaps I was unclear: screen is what I use now (and have used for quite a long time) and I haven't moved away from it because I actually use and value the support of serial consoles.
What did they exaggerate?

They mentioned the attack can work with roughly a week worth of unprivileged runtime, as long as the ECC mode of the ram chips in the targeted system has been previously sufficiently reverse engineered.

Is that too alarmist? To me, it sounds like something perhaps too cumbersome for casual drive by attacks, but it seems right down the alley of so called "persistent threats", or whatever it is we call those guys nowadays.
It depends. For city-dwellers, that's true (I'm one myself, 29, living in Germany, no driver's license either). But someone living in a village will find it pretty impossible to run their errands or bring their children to school without a car.
My point was that (in my experience as a embedded engineer for high availability systems) NewOS has much smaller windows between kernel preemption points, particularly in comparison to Linux (even RT) and NT.

Is Haiku only soft real time? Yes, and I never said anything different.

Does it do a markedly better job at making real time commitments than NT or even RT-Linux? Absolutely mainly due to how much simpler of a kernel it is.

Also, I'm going to throw out there that if you're going to get uppity about hard real time guarantees out of nowhere and throwing out concepts lime manslaughtee charges out of nowhere, I hope that you're only choosing sel4 as last time I checked it was the only kernel that backed up it's guarantees in a way that it can be checked.
I'm bemused by the effort people will go to to park as close as possible to their destination. Me, I park in the first slot that appears, often with a mind to being able to drive forward to get out rather than backing up into pedestrians and shopping carts. In a large parking lot, there'll be a pack of cars near the entrance, and then my lonely car a ways away.

This never fails to annoy my passengers:

"Why'd ya park here? The entrance is over there."

"Wut, ya legs broke?"

This argument falls down because social media companies expend a lot of effort getting you to use their platform as much as possible. Why keep a snake that’s trying to bite you in your pocket?
Amazon just open sourced the hypervisor used for Lambda and Fargate ( https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker )

When the Spectre/Meltdown hit, Amazon also open sourced the mitigation used for the AWS version of Xen ( http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/xsa254/README.vixen )

If you search the Linux git commits for people with @amazon emails, you'll find contributions, bug fixes, etc.

I don't think it's fair to say that barely anything is contributed back.
Who is the author? Is this accurate? Is it one guy's theory, a fringe theory, one of competing mainstream theories, or consensus?

Certainly Reddit and the comment's length are not indicators of accuracy. They are indicators of an author with a lot of time and motivation, which could be good or bad.

Yes that’s great . I don’t know how I came off as suggesting they should be thugs in the prev post . We should rather have a separate org, a police watchdog that has access to the footage and actively monitors rather than give public access to officers actions and personal info. That org should also have access to offender info and police info so they can interpret each case accordingly
If you showed a human who'd never heard of hotdogs before thousands of photos of hotdogs, and every single one of them had buns, why do you think they would assume that a naked wiener would be the true definition of hotdog, rather than 'bun with meat/filling'?
In languages without "everything can be null", the null-object pattern is what is always done.

The problem with "everything can be null" is the type system is prevented from finding very common "you can't do this thing" errors.

Without it, everyone uses null objects (or Maybe, a generic for of this) and there are no segmentation faults/dereferencing errors. (Yes there can be other sorts of errors, but the problem has been made far better.)
Sorry, I specifically mean the "soft" paywall, which is the kind at issue here. If these publishers had required people to log in, no browser extension could bypass that.
DynamoDB is really only good for testing since it uses SQLite underneath.
Hi Mark, I want to correct one thing. My company is behind dl4j. We are also the second largest contributor to keras.
We have near perfect model import (with keras contributors maintaining it). Dl4j also has TF import and a native graph runner: https://github.com/deeplearning4j/dl4j-examples/tree/master/...

Java itself tends to be fairly verbose I know, but not only are there wrappers but for inference if you want to use python for basics and then us for inference. We enable several ways to do that.
Folks tend to oversensationlize these "us vs them" framework "fights".

Rather than do that, why not just use what's good for each use case? Python for training, java for deployment?

Beyond that, you could also consider building your own wrapper maybe? In clojure, there's jutsu.ai for example: https://github.com/hswick/jutsu.ai
> Free speech is not about protecting popular opinions.

It's also not about protecting any opinions (popular or unpopular) from private refusal to assist in propagating them.

Free speech is not the same as anyone else being obligate to provide assistance with distributing your speech, in fact, such an entitlement would violate freedom of speech for those compelled to participate in speech they disagree with.
Are you Indonesian?
I've asked this before, but I'm going to ask it again (sorry for the repetition).

What makes this sandbox different from previous sandboxes (JVM, browsers, etc) that makes proponents sufficiently confident to put it in the kernel? All previous sandboxed designed to be secure have been broken on a regular basis.

The rationale seems to be performance, as if it is an innovation to realize that having multiple isolated processes and privilege levels has a cost, and things could be faster without context switches or virtual memory. But everyone knows this already - the real innovation is daring to trust your sandbox so much that you think you can do without process isolation.

Sorry to keep asking, but it strikes me as irresponsible to bash on context switching as having poor performance and not noting that it is really one of the foundations of computer security.

First time I asked:

I think people have forgotten about all the things learned from cohousing. I once lived in a condo complex originally designed to be cohousing and I knew lots and lots of my neighbors. Shared parking with a common path and kitchens facing the path with gardening areas goes a long way. Add in the shared common areas which were designed to force everybody to pass by, and it was routine to meet and get to know neighbors. (Then there are all the Christoper Alexander ideas that could be tried too.)
For managing pricing do you make your own software or use one of the many SAAS tools out there? I used to work for SellerEngine and we found that at a certain level virtually all of the big sellers were deeply reliant on their own in-house solutions and very reluctant to even evaluate other options.
I don't get how people can let Facebook take up so much of their life/time that they have to delete it or stop using it to "get their life back." I find it ridiculous.

I use Facebook basically for two purposes. Sharing and consuming denk mems, and for scheduling gatherings of friends that use Facebook (which is mostly all of them, because this is about all they use it for too).

People need to stop acting like these things are somehow controlling anything you do and realize that they're just tools. Do what you want with them.

If that's "not use it" for whatever reason, fine. I just wish people would stop with these nonsensical "I QUIT FACEBOOK AND NOW MY LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTERER" stories.
I'd love for that to be true. But I've thought the same thing about other laws and the floodgates never opened. For example, in 2001 Portugal decriminalised all drugs. The obvious thing happened: the drug situation slightly improved. But more than 15 years later not one country has followed.

Still, I would like to share your optimism. Let's rid our cities of cars completely.
But it would have been difficult for me to write the review if the book hadn't crystallized my thoughts by providing so many (unintended) examples of 'right idea wrong time'. :)
It is more lack of people one would meet regularly. You don't need perfect match, just passable-to-no match can develop into friendship over time. However, if there is no stabilit in who you meet, friendship wont happen even with great people around - it will remain shallow.
Thanks! I do not see the problem either. It's a fun project born out of our own problem, and as language learners, we just aim to make a useful resource for people like us.
GCC and clang aren't the only C compilers on the planet.

Yeah, what has failed is the idea that licenses are all basically the same and thus you should choose whatever license all the cool kids are using lately. We're seeing that licenses matter and you can't choose a permissive license and later complain about "the spirit of open source".
I'm not demanding publishers switch to anything. Personally, I like the soft paywall system. I also think people who bypass it were never going to pay money, so I think publishers freaking out about people opening up an incognito window are wasting their time.

But if publisher do want absolute control over who views their content, then they should make people log in. I think that would be a mistake, but it's their mistake to make. I'm just opposed to give them legal control over what I do with my computer and any data their servers freely give me.
> I don't understand why BitChute can't moderate how the site itself appears to the casual viewer without sacrificing Free Speech.

When you decide that a private platform deciding what is acceptable and worthy of promotion on their own platform violates free speech (which is the basis for the “free speech” challenge against YouTube that justifies BitChute), then exercising editorial control of what is given prominent placement on your own platform would be a violation.

So, yeah, they are being consistent with their own (boneheaded) concept of free speech when they are hands off with their platform recommendations.
Quitting Facebook is like cutting all sugar, starch, and dairy: it's anecdotally improved so many Hackernews' lives that it's foolish not to do it at this point.
This surprises anyone? Amazon retail has been competing with it's own customers (mostly in the form of Amazon Basics) for years now...
If there were a better way than Instagram to see beautiful photography from the National Parks in the US, I’d use it. As it stands, it’s not bad but I wish they’d just let me see an actual timeline and automatically mark images seen/archived.
Definitely, thanks for voicing your thoughts here, other audiences we have shared this with have also been very supportive so we will definitely continue :)
My argument isn't based on liberating content, but that it's simply not one's responsibility to implement someone else's business rules.

The problem is that the publishers are still supplying their content for free, while then trying to attach arbitrary post-facto terms. It would be straightforward to just not send the article to someone they don't want to view it, but yet this is not what they have chosen to do.
I registered my own domain in the 90s and I always had a POP3 mailbox on the server of the registar. I download email on my laptop and read it with Thunderbird (and also read it on my phone before downloading it, not the usual arrangement) I configure the DNS to point www to a web server on a VPS on OVH.

The registrar also offers static web hosting, which could be what you are proposing.

In general this is true, but /r/AskHistorians (along with /r/AskScience) is an exception. It has very high standards for answers (as you can see several times a day when a the mods nuke an entire thread for not being good enough): all answers have to cite reliable sources and they have many “verified” posters who the mods have confirmed are actual historians in their field. I’m sure misinformation sneaks in on occasion, but overall the posts are reliable and you can consider them, including this one, to be reliable.

Desktop boot time mostly doesn't matter, it is an infrequent event -- once a day at most, if the system is shut down at night. Server boot time, on the other hand, does matter. You really don't want a server to be down for longer than it has to. Being able to reboot in 10 seconds is huge compared to rebooting in a couple minutes.

Now, given that servers are fundamentally running the same OS, improvements geared towards that market tend to bleed over to desktop as well. Desktop just has a bit more to bring up, with a graphical environment and everything.
