> They’re not cheap sketchy products, you keep mischaracterising electron apps so that you have a point.

I still have a point even if/when the electron based ones have more quality or are better from the consumer point of view, because my point was not about the final quality of the finished product, but about scale and economics. Im not saying that every electron app will be inferior, this is illogical and unsustainable..

Rather im arguing that the whole model that the Electron represents will flood our desktops and even phone with cheap, memory hog apps, even when some of than are great, collectively they will be a nightmare to our computers. Users will blame the OS, or they will figure it out when they close the Electron apps, seeing their computers working better (And i guess when they get to this they will blame the company that created the product, and the bad word might start to spread).

Even with all the computational power we have now, we will have a even worse user experience than we had in the 90's with very limited computers compared to nowadays.

> Let the market decide. If the native apps are superior, then customers will choose them more often and companies will feel the pressure to use them.

My point being in the end, you wont have any options, and in some cases great products might vanish.

Im very critical of all things Apple, but this is one of the things i think Steve Jobs got right, and no wonder Mac OS and now iPhone worked out as a shield for great products that would not survive in the "worse is better" environment of Windows and the Web.

They are also great, accessible, popular, etc.. But if they were the only game in town a lot of great products would not have survived and others would not have been created. Thats what i fear about if the Electron trend gets too much hyped.. We will move fast and break a lot of great things in between.

If it gets popular, but not the monopolistic kind of popular, then its great, and good that its there as an option. But in tech we use to jump from hype to hype. (And you also can see what im trying to elucidate here by following whats happening in the NoSQL vs SQL database front)
I really liked the older games as well (a long, long time ago). I still remember the "shareware canyon" that was impassible without buying the game in full. Fond memories!
OTP as in Open Telephony Platform?

Edit: it turns out OTP is one time password, that's neat!

I'm only familiar with that through Erlang and consider it an architectural pattern for supervision trees, would you be willing to expound a teeny bit more on what you mean?

National Security? This is an US Hype. What conflict will appear in Germany in the next 100 years? Germany has friends all around. Two of them are members of the security council and own nuclear weapons. France even has an explicit policy of extending their nuclear (MAD) protection over Germany.

Central Europe has 70 years of peace thanks to the European Union. There is currently little realistic reason to believe this will change anytime soon.

There is no scenario which require steel sovereignity on standby. The only realistic scenarios (e.g. Russia being stupid) ends in a global inferno.
Remember... we still never got 4G. Speed requirements were set and nobody ever met them, so they just called it 4G-LTE.

Nobody should be shocked that this is happening again for 5G and calling 5G-E.

The main reason for me to use Grab while on holiday in Thailand was the fact that not getting scammed by a taxi driver in Thailand was almost impossible for me. I'm not sure if this is an issue for everyone, but I dare to say that as much as 50% of all taxi drivers in Bangkok just drove away the moment we asked for 'on the meter'. And this is saying something because we have used taxis at least twice a day for 2 weeks.

The second reason was that not 1 of the non-Grab taxi drivers uses anything like Google Maps. So I was never sure if we actually ended up at our hotel or somewhere else. Also because our hotel (Aetas) had (at least) 2 locations in Bangkok it made it all worse. This is assuming that a taxi driver actually knows where to go, we've also encountered multiple times the situation where a taxi driver didn't know where to go.

Grab on the other hand always provided the amount upfront and every driver had Google Maps for navigation.

Edit: I'd rather use the official taxis, but the number of conveniences Grab added with a single app was worth it to me.
YouTuber admits aspects of viral HomePod glitter bomb video were faked
And how much of policy is determined by an existential threat? I would assert: not much. Food/agriculture, defense, energy, but not much else. And therefore as a generalization, yes, "subsidies make the economy as a whole, and most people, less well off" is in fact a reasonable statement.
Please don't be rude here. The author clearly knows how to use manual. An ND filter allows you to set a long shutter speed without letting as much light hit the sensor. This allows you to capture motion without overexposing your shot.

Pretty sure he's jumping the mechanical explanation for the impact.
You know how your 65" tv is actually 64.5 inches?

That's called rounding.

Now, imagine your TV was advertised as 4Ke when it was actually 1080p.

That's called false advertising.
Well, i mean, it's also silly in that it only considers tailpipe emissions.
PZEV's are already required to have zero evaporative emissions, and besides SULEV tailpipe standards, also be cleaner than 90% of cars of the current model year
ZEV's are required to have zero tailpipe emissions, and be cleaner than 98% of cars in the current model year.

So ZEV's actually allow forms of emission that the PZEV may not. As long as it isn't an exhaust gas and one of the criteria exhaust gases.
The plagiarism reference was a joke! nothing is new and everyone is just retelling an old story, as Disney’s Beauty and the Beast sang, it’s a “tale as old as time”

IANAL but I imagine that the donations are in brave tokens and it may or may not be treated as cash (even though the eventual payout is cash) which may or may not be legal depending on a lot of stuff that's beyond my area of expertise.

But if the idea was to 1) create token and 2) YOLO and yeah, lawsuits incoming.

But it could be that they have good lawyers and that it is actually legal (although as I write it I don't believe that, haha)
Actually, PZEV makes sense if you know what it refers to.

PZEV's have zero evaporative emissions, and "super ultra low" tailpipe emissions

That's what the "partially zero" means - they have zero evaporative emissions.
The "something" that changed is that private equity (and even banks) figured out how to financially model MMOs just like SAAS.

I think Tomasz Tunguz illustrates this concept beautifully in considering SAAS / MMOs as annuities (1)

With little incremental cost to each additional user, and predictable revenue over time, the customer acquisition cost becomes highly flexible if you can finance it (or leverage it).

As a result it's become an arms race and a common VC model today is to spend 2 - 3x total annual revenue in marketing spend to land grab new channels while the "annuity" cost is low.

If you're open to sharing more details you may spark somebody's attention on HN :) - I personally invest in SAAS / MMO / CRE + bring customer acquisition expertise (and a team) for cases exactly like this - although we try to target some minimum scale ($5m+ ARR / ASR)

Coinbase Wants You to Earn Crypto While Learning About Crypto
To be fair, it's entirely possible they're not actually making use of that, or only in very limited circumstances, and it's less "how can we trick people" and more "we didn't really think about what that looks like, because we know we are the good guys", and given their anonymous design they need some out if they don't want to be stuck responsible for funds for eternity. If it's the latter, they're now finding out that especially in combination with the deceptive UI it really looks bad.

And even without the clause, if they truly held it in escrow forever, taking money unasked without a way of returning it, is still a bad thing. Given this isn't the first "support creators" app doing this and getting publicly shamed for it, I have no idea how that went through.

Yeah, I'd be interested in an analysis of open source projects that are copyleft licensed and successful with the "what if" question posed about if they were MIT or similar. I'm definitely not the person to put forward an educated opinion on those.

Hey me too! A while ago I was looking st trying to figure out how to hack something like this together myself when I came across what is now one of my top thre apps: Otter.

Sounds like a shill and I don’t really care. I’m a premium member with 6,000 minutes of transcript time per month (and sometimes I’ve used almost all of it) and I couldn’t be happier.

You can export everything, support and head of product are kind and responsive, and you can click in the transcription anywhere and it will play the audio at that point.

Exactly what I need.

My main complain is that it’s geared towards corporate environments for conferences, meetings, etc, and so the grouping isn’t exactly what I like, but I was my text editor to keep the links more to my liking.

Absurd comment. Why have another operating system attached to my operating system? Aside from obvious reasons why this is a bad idea (performance, bloat, security, ads...) this sounds like an operational headache and any person doing this everyday would be reducing their productivity. If you wanna use Windows just use Windows. If you wanna use linux, just use that.

And yet the article says: this feature, known as Korolev crater, is found on Mars, and is shown here in beautiful detail as seen by Mars Express.

It is in fact a synthetic image constructed from a couple data sources. Not a real image taken from a camera. It may as well be one of those "artists conception of...." images used whenever a new planet is discovered.
At midday on a sunny day, by the sunny-16 rule you can expect to set the camera exposure to f/16 1/100 s at ISO 100. To get to even 1/50 s, you're now at f/22, the limit of most commercial lenses. So yes, ND filters are still useful to those of us who understand manual exposure.

I wish we could show real bandwidth, latency and drop rate instead. Even better, have industry agree on minimum values for one bar to four bars of connectivity. And gradually upgrade these requirements over time.

All these names just confuse consumers and distract from solving the actual problems. The radio technology stack is mostly an implementation detail.
Agreed.

That said, it's better if it's someone other than Google doing it. Google only has access to bid on the Google exchanges, but a 3rd party can bid on AppNexus, private exchanges (WSJ), etc.

RDR2 is definitely a great game, with more detail and nuance than I’ve ever seen, nevermind the gkorious visuals and music. But I agree with the previous commenter’s sentiment — there’s not a lot of game design innovation. The mission structure is linear and restrictive as a straight-jacket. There’s no way to progress that doesn’t involve murdering an immersion-breaking number of outlaws and cops alike. Even the detail you mention — corpses being present (and even decaying) — is as much an illusion (due to memory constraints) ad it is in any other game. Humans disappear as soon as you move into a nearby zone (especially after a mission). Some corpses of certain infrequrntly-spawning animals do remain, but only for awhile.

Again, the overall package and detail is incredible, especially the amount and variety of voiceover work. But it’s not particularly innovative.
That means a $1k+ computer with Linux can only run 16 Slack instances. If you're on Windows and aren't as wealthy, the count goes down to 5.

Soon you have to micromanage your computer resources instead of purely focusing on work.
Same. Happy macos 1pwd user here.
Quite, it’s context dependent. Raw format for sensor data from a camera is a good example. There are many ways image sensor data can be processed to generate a generic image file such as a JPEG, and that involves selective choices. I think it’s useful to make that distinction.

In general it just means the original source data as distinct from processed, selected, edited or derived data.

But I don't create a string on the stack first.

First allocation on the heap than probably a copy onto the stack.
The first link, "Flo Control" (named after Flo the cat) was built in the late 1990's, and this link on MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/15802/) is from 2002, but the host link appears to be dead.

The OP is kinda swatting a fly with a sledgehammer, but blindfolded, because the system would probably break if the door changed or someone moved something into the detection window. Problem with CNNs is training them to know what is NOT a valid condition, and that is VERY VERY HARD.

This kind of "blind overdesign" makes me sad.
It's also suprisingly easy to mess up error returning. I've accidentally done things like:

a, err := run()
if err != nil {
b, e2 := cleanup()
if e2 != nil {
return err // Whoops
}
return e2 // Double whoops
}

Since you generally test the happy path more diligently, subtleties like these tend to show up later than desirable (compile time would be the most desirable, of course).

The := semantics is partly to blame here, as well as Go's lack of laziness around unused values. Go is curiously strict about unused variables, which never hurt anyone, as opposed to unused values, which absolutely can hurt. For example:

a, err := foo() // This err is never used
b, err := bar()

This is much worse! And the compiler doesn't complain. Fortunately there's a linter called ineffassign that tracks ineffective assignments, and it's part of gometalinter and golangci-lint. But not "go vet". And there's no linter that can detect the first example that I gave.

Shadowing is a pet peeve of mine. Go is one of the strictest, most opinionated languages in mainstream use, but it's amazingly lax and unopinionated in certain areas. "go vet" can check for shadowing, but doesn't do so by default, and of course it doesn't test the subtype of shadowing that := causes. Shadowing is usually a bad idea, but Go encourages it through its := assignment semantics.

>We tend to think of data as the raw material of evidence. Just as many substances, like sugar or oil, are transformed from a raw state to a processed state, data is subjected to a series of transformations before it can be put to use.

The best raw data is "raw" as in food, but often it is "raw" as in sewage.

I was recently working with some open public data, and it was very much the latter. For example, there were a few important columns that were filled as free-form text by police officers, and contained all sorts of random entries that made the column basically useless. Sometimes they were unclear abbreviations or jargon, and sometimes they were what appeared to be keyboard-mashing, and possibly some bad OCR. It is obvious that the data collection was only designed for events to be reviewed individually, if at all, whereas in the tech world we know to always design our data to be analysed collectively.

I prefer to work with data that is "raw" as in food.

On a personal project, I added a processing stage before my "raw" stage. I decided to call it the "alive" stage.

Ah, good catch on the typo. I meant the opposite of that, but so many edits messed it up.

I get the idea that copyleft gives people the freedom to see the code and modify, but the limitations it imposes for using that code in derivative works is what makes me think it's a utopian ideal.
That's interesting if true. Does the operator have that much control over the phone though? I guess all I care about - does it effect me?

I have a pixel2xl, flashed with CarbonOS. Not a trace of carrier or google crap - carrier config/sprintdm/etc all disabled.

Does ATT still have some power to control what my signal strength bars or connection label says? I very highly doubt it. I believe my phone decides what to show by itself - not the carrier.

If someone is not in the same position as me - a blind sheep who buys his phone from a carrier, then for them, in my opinion, this is a good step. 5g to them simply means "faster that when it said 4g" - and this holds true for this.
Just the wording struck me as odd, "trick the camera into thinking it’s night time forcing a longer shutter speed" seems to imply that he's using Auto and trying to "trick" a slow shutter speed... You shouldn't need to try to trick anything, just set the shutter speed to whatever you want. A filter is def useful for reducing the amount of light coming in though.
