the gym thing seems like a bit of a red herring. certainly when you're in your own home you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. even in a shared public space, you ought to have some legal protection against being arbitrarily tracked/surveiled. but on the literal physical premises of a private business, I'm not sure it's such a reasonable expectation.
The amount of time required to play most games is extremely high and expectation that parent should spend so much time with something parent does not like completely absurd.

There is also a moment where gamers should understand that the world does not revolt around them nor their games. When everybody is helping preparing dinner and what not, or expected to be on time, there is no rational reason to give the gamer exceptions.
Eh, grains are never the problem. Essentially none of the problems you hear about in agriculture apply to grains.

We can produce just staggering amounts of grain on a per-acre basis, and we can ship them without refrigeration and store them for long periods of time without any significant loss of nutritional value. The carbon, energy and monetary cost of shipping huge quantities of grain from the center of the US to the coasts where people live is negligible.

You don't have the complex social issues of migrant and immigrant labor with grain production; I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if there's some, but it's definitely not a necessary component the way it is in current vegetable production and in meat processing.

There's some potential problems in water usage in some places grains are produced, you can have some good conversations about fertilizer and pesticide production, and about soil maintenance, and we continually want to be working to improve the resiliency and productivity of the crop varieties, but grains are in pretty good shape and there's a clear road map for future work, with lots of incremental progress being made every day.

Produce and meat production is where the big gains are to be had, for the environment, food security, and improving the conditions of working people. Just bank on having half our calories coming from massive grain farms located at great distance from the population centers and try to figure out how to fix the rest, and then maybe it will be time to revisit grains.
I read TFA discussion of performance issues for hashmaps, and I see that deletes are something of a serious hindrance. As I often use hashmaps for a single-pass accumulation or transformation of data, I suspect that a hashmap without a delete operator might be designed to give superior performance in many such cases. Is this so, and are there any such implementations of hashmaps, mutable but with no delete method?
"Humans will try hard to survive", while undoubtedly true, isn't really a counter-argument.

As a counter to your "humans are smart" theory, I would point out that we've known about climate change for half a century now and have done absolutely nothing about it: each year we are putting more CO2 into the atmosphere than the year before. We are accelerating into the apocalypse. If humans were smart as you suppose, wouldn't we have done something other than jam our feet on the accelerator?
I try to think of it like they're playing in a physical room full of their friends. I wouldn't suddenly barge in and drag them out by the arm.
My guess is that as mixed race, you probably aren't marginalized (usually by "passing" as whichever is easier for others to accept you as). This is less about being a minority by numbers (Stanford grads are a minority...).

My point was also that representation of marginalized people doesn't harm you. Or do you get discouraged from pursuing your interests seeing fictional representation of marginalized communities?

Please don't trivialize issues that affect millions of people into a question of "whose feelings matter more?"
A car’s primary function is not to kill people. If you are an engineer and develop a tool whose primary purpose is mass surveillance, you should bear that ethical burden.

my kids are in a dual language program at their elementary. Honestly, it's just ESL for the latino kids. There's hardly any emphasis on teaching English speaking kids Spanish. It's more for the non-english kids getting to have class taught in Spanish for half a day. I don't really care, my kids are thriving just fine, but it's not a dual language program it's ESL in disguise.

I wonder if I can append to every web request a header that has my personal terms of service and if companies don't want to comply to MY terms, they can simply refuse service.

Seems reasonable, right?
Not a developer of it, but banshee was one of my favorite media players and ran on mono. I moved away from it, because it took too much CPU compared to deadbeef.
I believe the author's argument is: however simple or complicated dark matter and energy are, negative (inertial) mass just makes things even more complicated, without offering any new (testable) insights. The author herself points out that she (and the GR community) may be wrong about a lot of this stuff (e.g. that gravity is mediated by a spin-2 field), but absent a testable hypothesis, negative masses don't actually move the field forward at all.

Seemingly "crazy" ideas sometimes turn out to be correct! But in science, we demand radical ideas at least make testable hypotheses.

Mozilla was developing a private Reading List feature based on Firefox Sync when they suddenly replaced it with Pocket. At the time, Pocket was a third party with a business model that included data mining. Mozilla owns Pocket now, but it still requires users to give up some of their privacy.

Mozilla employees denied for months that Pocket paid for the integration. Eventually it came out that there was a referral deal.

Mozilla acquired Pocket in early 2017 and said they would release the source code. That still hasn't happened.
>AD only works if all your clients are windows. In 2018, not all of them are. We're out of a monoculture now. Doing AD SSO on other platforms is a proper pain in the butt.

That's simply untrue. Every large org I work with has unified auth with ad and a secondary package like centrify. It's trivial to get working.

And that's ignoring all the linux appliances and embeded Linux flavors (think lights out management) that support AD out of the box.
You only get to the level playing field when you join the Old Boys’ Network.

On the other hand, if you have a light complexion, you can easily get a well paying English tutoring job. It often pays higher than what an engineering grad would make!
Side note: it’s pretty incredible how phlogiston theory correctly linked burning and rusting, despite being unaware of oxidation. (Also, that plants have a part to play in the oxidation-carbon cycle.)

I don’t know if oxygen theory would have developed without phlogiston theory first linking these phenomena.

> 10x the latency on everything at least compared to Linux running natively on the same hardware.

The vast majority of my real world experience has not been that at all. Then I looked up the benchmarks

Also I use older Desktops and I have very quick experience running my scripts and Ranger. Having Ranger alone is HUGE for my workflow. Then I have awk, sed and grep at my finger tips?

Personally I would take Windows 10 WSL over any of my AppleOS experience. I really think the machines know I don't like Apple because for the past 25 years they always lockup, crash or over write what i do with them.
Ha. Reminds of a quote, vaguely:

`nnn` integrates with lftp. I have added a wiki page on how to automate transfers or copy selection easily.
That's clearly nonsense -- it has some benefit, in the sense that it grows the economy which pays the taxes which funds things like dams and bridges and fire departments -- but let's put a pin in that.

Frankly, I wish we'd stop using my tax dollars for road subsidies in Flyover, Oklabraska and military assault vehicles for local police, but we live in a society, and we don't always get what we individually want. I'm not naïve and realize that politics have always been selfish, but the subsidy arrow in America points solidly toward the middle, and has done so for decades. They're already getting more than their fair share in Bakersfield, so maybe they can shut up for a little while and take a hit for the common good.
I mean, people who attempt to pray away disease instead of seeking proper care has potentially good intent. But that doesn't make them any less negligent when their child dies as a result.
I'm not arguing for or against that oath, but that would 100% kill Open Source dead the minute it becomes a requirement. Absolutely no one would share their code if they could be held responsible for its misuse.
Great examples. For the release, I would specify the date, time and timezone.
So are their classmates who are screen zombies in any measurable way worse off on average than your kids?

DHS Looking into Tracking Monero and Zcash Transactions
Back when I was a student, I had to find a job so I put in a lot of effort.. until I found a job and settled in nicely. Couple years in, I am now familiar with the team and our stack so it takes less effort to keep up to date. I have a lot less free time than before due to the full-time job but I spend a larger percentage of it on unproductive things - lack of motivation when everything is cozy.

My situation has changed a little bit now (due to some deadlines) and though I can find a web developer job more easily, I want to give it my best shot trying to get an ML job, since I have realized I might never do it if I don't do it now.

Luckily I don't have a lot of those negative thoughts/days. I've felt bad a couple of times for wasting too much time on that particular day but I think of the overall progress I've made and get over it pretty quickly.

It's God's Will until it happens to you.
Why would you stand in the rain? can't they wait a week or two? What is it with stupid people who must buy everything on the spot?
> Are you talking Zen1 or Zen2...

Unfortunately, neither. The last AMDs I was able to play with Opteron 6xxx series. The later ones weren't as fast, and Zen 1 was not easy to obtain, so we were unable to acquire them.

The last ones I used were better from their competitors of the era. I also had a desktop system from that era which was way better, at least for my workloads.

I'd love to play with Zen 1/2 and compare "benchmarks" to "real workloads", because as I said before, in HPC, benchmarks are just numbers.

e.g. Your memory bandwidth may be low, but if it's low latency & you're hammering the bus, bandwidth may not be limiting. OTOH if you're streaming something continuously, your latency becomes moot, because the bus has already queued up everything you need and can continue piling up stuff you need until you process the ones at hand. For the second scenario, I have listened to a talk about an embedded system, which the developers were able to accelerate the system 10x by using an in-cpu accelerator unit to copy required memory segments to cache independently from the CPU.
First point is great. It also removes a lot of stress if you decide to go in with the mindset of "well, if they ask me a bunch of algo brain teasers I'll just walk out". Instead of grinding on leetcode, you can put together notes on the most impactful work you've done (hard numbers are good here), or study language/system mechanics.

Hi Peter,
I am on h1b and working for an employer. I am joining as a co-founder to a startup. Can I get compensation or profit for my work there? I am expecting to resume role of CTO. Can there be any legal implications?
Simple, money.

DNT is optional, you're "asking" to not be tracked.

Google makes money off of tracking you, so it's not going to just up and not do that because you asked nicely.
> Do you containerize these yourselves, whether or not the vendor says that will support that? Or does it get pushed to some other team that manages whole VM's/AWS instances that are not container hosts.

Working with large enterprises, I've seen both. If there's a good business case for the risk vs rewards (i.e. containers providing something technically useful which can be translated directly into revenue) and a good engineering + management team, some companies will actually risk it.

There's also the factor of how good the company's relationship with the third-party vendor is. Some companies have the weight to make the vendor support the unsupportable.
I don’t know about dark matter, but the case for dark energy or something like it is pretty compelling. The expansion of the universe is accelerating. Things don’t generally accelerate unless there is something pushing them. So what is it that’s pushing everything in the universe apart?

Maybe it isn’t a ‘thing’ doing it, who knows, but there must be a reason.
Ask HN: Can I trust Razer (laptops)?
I realize this is kind of a weirdly worded question, but what I’m looking for is some kind of specific reason that I should or shouldn’t trust their products.

Somebody I know was just using one told me that it feels kind of like a MacBook Pro, and I’ve been looking for some kind of alternative for a MacBook Pro since they launched the Touch Bar.

I looked up the Wikipedia and they are found in Singapore and have a headquarters in San Francisco. I’ve never heard of them until today so I don’t really have any knowledge about their trustworthiness, etc.
How I Migrated from WordPress to a Static Site
I think other commenters have already sufficiently explained this, but just to make it clear: Any wire functions as an antenne, also in a normal circuit where it is connected to something. The length of the wire will cause more radiation from some frequencies, but some designs will have wire length that matches some of the frequencies emitted by the regular communications performed (probably most of them actually - you rarely send random noise over your serial communication channels).
What if they've already developed these weapons, but don't find it useful to let the rest of the world know about them? For example, there's the mystery of the very real, but unexplained brain injuries to diplomats at the U.S embassies in China and Cuba.
“Its a matter of setting up bunch of mirrors reflecting sunlight. Of course you need sun to grow.”

Doesn’t work > see thermodynamics.

The mirror you’d be setting up would have to set up away from the building where the food is grown and therefore occupy space.

In agronomy there is a concept that the rate of growth is set by whichever one necessary nutrient is limited. Since we fertilize and pump water, the limiting factor is sunlight.

EDIT: 1. This is why Brazil gasohol is the only net positive bio-fuel

2. Manual picking of produce is far superior to mechanized harvest. Tomatoes in the US are large and tasteless because they’ve been bread to be easily picked by machine. ( A lot of thought goes into picking a ripe fruit. It’s not obvious AI can do that. Or that the robots can ever grab fruit with dexterity and w/out crushing)

3.What energy source do you want to run your automatic tractors off of? Diesel for agriculture is arguably the segment that should be given the most slack when transitioning to “green” alternatives.
We do not have native support for limiting Pipelines or Pipeline steps based on files changed, however, this can be achieved with plugins. I wrote a post about it here: https://github.com/drone/drone/issues/1021#issuecomment-4178...

There is a lot of interest in a plugin that supports limiting step execution, so I would love to work with teams that have mono-repository experience to come up with a solution. Perhaps eventually the plugin would become part of Drone core ...
Thailand is apparently one of them. It seems to have a bunch of nice places to live as well.
Worse is that the horizontal scrollbars don't render (at least for me) unless I start scrolling the box, so it looked like there was just some missing text.
> that's normal for almost any kid and not specific to gaming at all, they do with everything they see, mimicking is a form of learning.

What is specific to gaming is social approval by culture. When you go to most sport club or hobby club, eventually adults stop that crap or voice disapproval. Not in every club and adults do swear etc. But, in the straight assholery tend to eventually be criticized and talked about.

Gaming culture does not really do that.
Ok I'll refrain myself next time. I'm hoping you monitor suspicious activities and accounts on here, including where the trails ends up, because I assure you weird things are happening. There's an unnatural tendency to favor a view as of lately.
Is it really absurd to expect parents to show just a little bit of interest in their kids hobbies?

>There is also a moment where gamers should understand that the world does not revolt around them nor their games

Is it really unreasonable for children to expect their parents world to pretty much revolve around them?
If this effort succeeds, the end result will be something like "know your customer" for cloud providers. So, just like with app stores, you'll have to worry about getting your service approved.

There seems to be an eternal cycle of abstraction creating and breaking, in both finance and software.

- Someone builds a general-purpose abstraction that becomes popular.

- Inevitably, the abstraction gets abused.

- To prevent abuse, the abstraction gets violated. It's not general-purpose anymore because some usages are disallowed.

(This seems to be why open API's to online services tend not to last very long.)

The crucial thing is that "this" in this case is product management. I'm fine with Jobs being the Caesar Augustus of product; what bothers me is when he starts being touted as the Christ of Business.
Yeah that makes sense to me - my comment was more about how the support staff acted like "oh we can't do that - he wouldn't like that" when it turned out to be totally fine when interacting with him directly.

I'm not sure if that's a thing with Jobs and people being afraid of him, but I've seen similar stuff where people around the person act like they're delicate or everything requires special consideration when interacting with the leader.
It seems like most skeuomorphism was at the direction of Scott Forstall rather than Steve Jobs, although Steve certainly allowed it to happen
I’m not so sure about that. When Microsoft decided to turn DNT on by default for IE11 (edit: IE10), which was basically just pointing out that the emperor had no clothes, there was a lot of real anger at that decision: both Hacker News and places like the Apache project railed against it.
The best solution is to learn graphic design. Most engineers make the similar mistakes when starting out, so here's a cheat sheet:

* Your colors are too saturated, desaturate everything. (If you're using LCH, make 50 chroma your default for something that's "colorful.")

* Use more padding, more whitespace, and bigger fonts. Increase it until you're starting to get uncomfortable, then increase it just a little more past that.

* Remove everything you can remove, or if you can't bare to do that, relegate it to a dumpster page like an "about" section. Use the extra space this frees up for more whitespace.

* Whenever you think something needs more X, consider making everything else less X instead.

* If you're using LCH, you can do color theory by the numbers instead of eyeballing it. e.g. add 180 to the hue to do complimentary colors. This is not true of HSV.

* Establish a consistent visual hierarchy to group your content. Expect this to be the hardest part; even the best designers brute force this. The top of your hierarchy should frequently be the least emphasized part.

Which other emailer has threads, snooze, and tabs? (need all of those really; hard to move without them) I do hate that I can't just pay for gmail and avoid the crappy ads...
I think it's a little more than that. When you fake it, you still have to deliver the product.
The same reason that you aren't allowed to mix sawdust into the flour you sell, even if it is cheaper. Having a business incentive does not mean that you have a moral justification.
There isn't an expectation that you will put in all the time required to completely learn a game, but there is an expectation that you will put in the time required to have a basic understanding of the game. As a parent you should know what games your children are playing, the type of content they're being exposed to within those games, and the amount of time they're putting into them. If you're not willing to put in enough time to know what your children are doing then don't have children.
This is great. I congratulate them and thank them for outlining specific policy objectives.

My immediate next thought, though, is that Microsoft operates its "Cognitive Services," including facial recognition, in China. That's worrying, even if Microsoft would loudly prefer that governments generally pass nice privacy laws.

The bulk of ketamine studies have used IV administration but that doesn't mean it's more effective than sublingual. There are several studies on oral, intranasal, and sublingual ketamine with positive results. There are also several doctors including mine that are prescribing it for use at home.

Also consider that many of the doctors administering ketamine by IV at $500 a pop are not psychiatrists. There is far too little written about these opportunists.
I don't know _what_ is going on but I have a guess.

I live in Canada. We see these 'Hepatitis vaccine' posters at every doctors office/clinc. They are all related to "going on vacation somewhere warm".

So the implication is "Caribbean vacation = hepatitis".

There were even TV commercials that tried to show "unexpected places you could get hepatitis from",
from the ice-cube, from the sand on the beach (showing a cut foot), from a nail salon, etc. Just to try and raise awareness.
