Depends on how badly the company needs your individual business, and/or how much you want their services, since they're under no obligation to accept or even review your proposed amendments. I suspect very few companies would have an incentive to take them seriously.

We get fairly routine requests from state universities and similar institutions who want us to fill out various forms, agree to supplemental terms, or alter our EULA for their special cases. Labor and legal costs would mean we'd lose money on lots of those sales, so we just respond with a blanket "sorry, we can't do that, good luck to ya" type message. The customer is then free to go about their lives without our software, or (more often) find some way to agree to the EULA as-is after all.
How often do you cross the Sahara desert in a hatchback? You don't. You go with specialized, 4 by 4 vehicles. This is a very, very niche application. How many people make this crossing every day? How many people commute to work every day.

It's not even in the same ballpark. Why are you trying to optimize for the very rare use-case?

You can keep using your trucks in the Sahara desert for as long as there is gasoline being made and replacement parts. Not sure what you are worried about.

Google has spent over $200 million on land alone... in the valley alone... just in the past month.

I heard that it seriously depleted HQ's petty cash fund. (But seriously, these were, in fact, all-cash deals.)
There was one company I applied to, for which I passed the screening and the technical interview, that I got a "Welcome Aboard" email from which also included paperwork for getting started. I just needed to meet the CEO as a last step, but they told me it was basically a formality and that I was hired.

I arrived on time and was told to wait outside the CEO's office. Through the wall, I could hear him talking to someone over the phone about football and what flavor chicken wings he wanted to have ordered and delivered to him. I sat there for 25 minutes hearing his muffled dudebro voice ramble on as if his schedule was clear for the day.

Finally, he let me in. At least he remembered my name. I told him why I wanted to work for Acme Corporation and the skills I planned on bringing to the table. He told me almost nothing and had me out of there in less than 10 minutes.

Not even an hour after I left did I receive an email from the same HR person who told me "Welcome Aboard!" that they wouldn't be moving me forward in the hiring process. It was one of the most devastating moments in my life because that initial email and the phone call I got after was a sign that my shitty life was finally going to turn around.

It did help teach me a good lesson that I would learn multiple times(with much softer landings) later on, which is that most people involved in hiring don't know what the hell they're doing and that just because a company makes a lot of money doesn't mean that forms of insanity aren't baked into their processes. You've just got to let rejections roll off you.
> Therefore VW can make electric cars, but its dealers will try to not sell them.

I think Audi sees this coming just as much as you do. I reserved the E-Tron a few months ago and my local dealer had _no_ idea what was going on. They told me they would be able to order one for me next year, even as I was making the order directly with Audi USA online. When I put my dealer's address in as a the pick-up location, the dealer emailed me the next day legitimately surprised to see the car added to their order system. Audi seems to have no plans to stock any of these at dealers, but instead ship them out as they are configured directly by customers, very much like Tesla does it.

There are an infinite number of module combinations. They all vary in cost, quality, precision, speed, size, materials, performance, suitability for manufacture, and subtly in whatever it is they do.

A commenter above mentioned the vast number of professionals with a ton of know-how in this area, making the 'time to tweak' or 'from nothing to module' and also 'optimized for manufacture' very rapid. There's nothing remotely like it anywhere.

This part confuses me. Is it a language or a library or both?

I'm sorry if they explain this in the keynote i'm at work and can't watch it and their site seems to be lacking in information.

From the comments here I understand it's trying to be the glsl of audio...but that doesn't really make sense to me. Audio doesn't really work like video shaders.
This sounds like a Classic leading-and-pacing piece to take the lead in regulating a field before actual hard regulations are passed. So while demands for restriction on government use are (correctly imo) very strict, for private entities we get this:

> From the moment one steps into a shopping mall, it’s possible not only to be photographed but to be recognized by a computer wherever one goes. Beyond information collected by a single camera in a single session, longer-term histories can be pieced together over time from multiple cameras at different locations. A mall owner could choose to share this information with every store. Stores could know immediately when you visited them last and what you looked at or purchased, and by sharing this data with other stores, they could predict what you’re looking to buy on your current visit.

> Our point is not that the law should deprive commercial establishments of this new technology. To the contrary, we are among the companies working to help stores responsibly use this and other digital technology to improve shopping and other consumer experiences. We believe that a great many shoppers will welcome and benefit from improvements in customer service that will result.

But people deserve to know when this type of technology is being used, so they can ask questions and exercise some choice in the matter if they wish. Indeed, we believe this type of transparency is vital for building public knowledge and confidence in this technology.

So they don't actually advocate that you should get a right to privacy or a right not to be profiled once you enter a store.

Instead, you get a right to opt-out of profiling by not ever entering any kind of store again.

Mac browsers are much more Mac-like than Electron apps, because they use native Mac APIs for these interactions. For example, Command-Z in Chrome highlights the menu properly because it's handled via the Mac UI frameworks, not intercepted by JS.
Thanks for the link. I will take a look.

As I clarified below, in my other comment, we were unable to get new Zen systems. So I’m not knowledgeable about their behavior.

However, I need to make my own benchmarks to see how this increased latency affects performance of different work loads and scenarios.

This is a great paper actually. It depends directly on the premise that cosmic rays cause drastic changes in cloud microphysics. The proof presented for this is a statistical correlation between termination points of sun activity and ENSO (El Nino, La Nina).

They plan to establish causation by predicting ENSO changes based on solar activity, which is good. Once they do that, they will need to prove that cosmic rays are more important in cloud microphysics than the CERN CLOUD experiments suggests so far.

This is what real science is. Great find.
I think you may not be valuing beef appropriately for people who really love burgers or good steak. And there happen to be a lot of those. It's hard to appropriately value things like that if you don't appreciate them yourself.

But sure, maybe that's not in their long term best interest. And unfortunately, humans are, on average, very bad at optimizing for their long term best interest vs. short term.
The original headline is "The Planet Has Seen Sudden Warming Before. It Wiped Out Almost Everything." The truncated version is very misleading because many people will naturally interpolate it as, "The Planet Has Seen Sudden Warming Before [and so there is nothing to worry about because everything worked out OK the last time]." The full version is only 74 characters so there's really no excuse.

Surely google can assume that browser settings represent the user'choice when it fits Google's interest, and they can assume that browser settings don't represent the user's choice when it fits their interest. But everyone knows that google won't tolerate a privacy measure that is used by a majority of users. Microsoft is not to blame for making privacy a default in their browser. It's google who is ignoring that setting.

You cannot just assume the user did not actually want the default setting in their browser.

Wow.

What city do you live in where EVs are impractical?

Even the small cities where I live are starting to make ICE vehicles feel a bit less convenient. Right now it's barely noticeable, but you can certainly see where it's headed.

Just as an example, things like going to the city for groceries, pulling into a parking space, and realizing that it is for EVs only. That was last year. This year, at the good grocery store anyway, a second bank of spaces were made EV only.

Point is, I can kind of see where this is all going. So if even small cities here in bass ackwards Wisconsin are doing this kind of thing, I'd have thought it would be rampant in the large cities?

While the facts (or even specific charges, other than a characterization that hey may relate to US sanctions on Iran) aren't all out by any stretch, it seems quite plausible that Huawei did in fact violate US sanctions on Iran and that as part of that corporate officers like the CFO would have committed US criminal offenses within the scope of the US-Canada extradition agreement.

If there becomes a reason to think that the government acted without a good faith, evidence-grounded belief in thebfacts alleged in the actual charges sufficient to justify criminal charges, then perhaps outrage will be justified.
It does, they basically use the same approach but before Electron was invented.
> How often do you cross the Sahara desert in a hatchback? You don't

That was an extreme example, I agree, not one of the best, just wanted to point out that using gasoline/diesel for vehicle transportation is a lot more failure-resistant compared to a power network.

And you said nothing about my point about the entire continent of Africa and about post-disaster interventions in the rest of the world. The last thing you want to hear after your house has been blown out by an earthquake or a tsunami is that the first responders can't get to you and your family because the power network is down so that they cannot move their vehicles. And such events (I mean, major natural disasters followed by extensive power-cuts) do indeed happen pretty often even in developed countries.
Your correlation is a bit backward there, but then you're in good company.

In living soil, not the dirt most agriculture is growing on, plants are trading sugars for water, minerals, and/or protection with symbiotic fungi and nitrogen fixing bacteria.

These microbes don't like tilling. Soil structure and the organisms break down, releasing carbon into the atmosphere. It's very hard to bring them back, especially to the middle of big square fields where everything is dead in a several mile radius.
Why would we be outraged? Most Americans probably don't even know what Huawei is. On top of that, this is expecting Americans to care how our government treats foreign nationals, which I'm sorry to say is not high on our list of priorities.
> Doing this 3 times for 3 times the cost, as opposed to once some sacrifices is the obvious reason for this widespread adoption.

The meaning the words change with context. Much like the way the Swastika is no longer recognised in the western world as a Hindu peace symbol. My point is that the modern usage of concentration camp is the extermination camps of Nazi Germany, which is obviously not what’s happening in China.
Your company should have legal counsel who can answer questions like this.

Religious discrimination applies to individuals in hiring or school admissions situations. Companies can generally reserve the right to not do business with a customer for any reason, but various legal precedents might apply, so it depends.
Agreed. In another comment, someone points out that LoL/Dota2 require a lot of dedication and metagame analysis to be good.

Which is true, but doesn't change the fact that I look back at all gaming I did as a massive waste of time, wishing I spent even 10% of that time doing anything else. And even in my early 20s, I couldn't get out of that "just one more game" compulsion many nights and it would impact my work performance and social life. Not really something I want for my children.

I'm in my 30s now and have healthy hobbies again like language learning, reading, and drawing.

I have a feeling a lot of these "gaming are no different than reading or playing a sport" are from young HN gamers. I would've argued the same thing when I was a kid. Not til later did I start wanting to live my life to maximize my sense of fulfillment and minimize regret, and I have a hard time believing gaming does that for anyone.

I've been heads down in the guts of Electron for the last 120 days so I can definitely speak to this at length.

I've been working on a desktop app which is a document manager for PDF and cached web content.

https://getpolarized.io/

The "native" desktop experience is insanely important and I think you can get there with Electron but it's not going to do it for you out of the box.

First. The bloat issue is definitely a real problem. Expect a 100MB app and 100-200MB of RAM usage. You wouldn't want to build calc or anything in Electron.

Additionally, things like context menus are next to impossible to implement properly as they require you to jump back and forth between the node and chromium processes and it's an insane hurdle to jump through.

The upside is that you can do amazing things that you couldn't do before like REALLY nail web content rendering and manipulation and also use frameworks like React or Angular which your team might already have experience with.

If you're an app like Discord being able to ship a desktop app on Windows and MacOS without having to hire native teams is a huge win.

If done right, the UI widgets can 'feel' native but they're never going to be there 100%.

What we can do in the mean time:

- build something like Electron or Flutter that takes into consideration ALL platforms - not just desktop or mobile but BOTH at the same time.

- supports native features when necessary. Electron TRIES to do the right thing but often fails just due to the complexity involved.
From that link, it is not a treaty in US law. The article uses the blanket term "treaty-related law", but the Iran agreement falls under the "Executive agreement" category. This is in part a long-standing presidential workaround for the similarly-long-standing Congressional unwillingness to bind the US to treaties. But it does come with a bit of deception of foreign partners, because it does not bind the US in the same way that treaties bind other countries under their own domestic law. One of many ways in which the US system is a bit dysfunctional.
Of course, I agree, which is why I included my own experience as a third example, or the 333rd example, or whatever it is by now. At some point all the tests with different flaws, all the personal experiences that may have other explanations, all the Google statements, the discoveries by companies and governments with vested interests...are all finding the same thing. It adds up to Google tracking us in all sorts of ways, many of which we aren't aware of, in order to give themselves the power to do things on an enormous scale, many of which we aren't aware of.

Nutritional value, "healthiest way to eat", matters to very few people. Most people eat food that is actively bad for them. People eat what's available to them. That means that they can get their hands on it, and can afford it.

That's a fairly odd interpretation; if there were multiple causes, none of which were sufficient without the others, one would still need to be mentioned first.
> Do you have a reference?

Yes and no. Apparently, my mind messed up my memory. So it was a leaked post on /r/intel. I thought it was for 9000-series, but apparently it was a leak for Cannon-Lake. So I was mistaken.

Second: the post has since been deleted. You can see the claims in the comments still however.

> FWIW, even for Skylake, Agner reports 26 cycles for a 32-bit idiv, so the chip is already close (if you were talking 32-bit division).

The post used to alleged 20ish cycles for 64-bit division (!!). So I guess that's something to look forward to testing.

Sure but concentration camp does not have the same historic meaning that any more the Swastika has its historic meaning in the Western world. They may be concentration camps by their old definition but the using the word immediately draws to the most well known usage. The Japanese and Ughur camps may be miserable but it isn’t genocide.
That’s still extremely rare. Personal laptops are always up to personal preferences, but most organizations run on windows. At my employer, a university enrolling 50,000, everything is windows. If you wanted to request a new computer through the school to have access to shared directories, you can pick a dell desktop or one of two HP laptops. Macs are rare, and they are bought and forgot by IT. I’ve seen iMacs running leopard still; and they are all off of the intranet.

For my friends who do get macs from their workplace, it’s because they are 1 of just 20 employees and they don’t have anyone in IT, let alone a department or any policies.
Such an awesome program and a great way to tackle multiple tough problems (how to reduce recidivism rates; how to solve the food desert problem in urban areas; how to improve the health & nutrition of the black community) with one solution.

Programs like this really give me hope, I wish there were more incentives from the government to spark innovations like this; monolithic solutions like food stamps and medicaid are strong programs that I support, but on the other end I'd like to see more funding for "micro-service" programs like this that solve issues on a census tract scale.
