Wow, they sound astoundingly well informed, well organised, influential, disciplined and effective. No wonder Neville Chamberlain was able to lead and control events so decisively.
There shouldn't be a reason you get banned from a chat client except for abuse. I don't see your point making sense except from maybe a sheltered millenials curated softy platform perspective shaped by the centralized services like YouTube and Twitter.
Could US users easily buy and deploy these sensors (EDIT: from Luftdaten, since my comment wasn't clear)? Or must one build them?
Possibly the latter. I haven't heard of the brain resorting to such energy saving measures.

I have another (unsubstantiated) theory too: there is a group advantage in those with power having reduced empathy. Individuals in leadership positions will need to direct the group in such ways that are beneficial to the group overall, but may be harmful to specific individuals. Leaders with high degrees of empathy might find this difficult. This is probably why the Myers-Briggs type "ENTJ" (often associated with leaders) is jokingly summarized as "I'm very sorry, but you have to die." [1]

Wow, that is similar to the C++ trigraphs, where using ?? followed by various characters inside a string literal (and any other place) does not work as expected

The guy is a jerk. He fucked up in an unprecedented way, his whole negotiation strategy was just a blackmail toward EU-Germany that eventually backfired.

Sometimes on HN a comment will pop up on a biology article from a Ph.D biologist, or the sort. There are lots of severely brilliant people here whose familiarity with web tech is well below average, but who nonetheless add immense value to the community.

For that reason it's a mistake to assume that everyone on this website is evenly skilled just because you have the wherewithal to check whether the TLD is a web service or a private domain, or to intuit that the name in the footer might be a company and not a random string.

So while perhaps this person could check for themselves in the most literal sense, it's uncool to use a tone that implies their inferiority for not having done so.

When you make people feel bad for asking questions, you teach them not to try and get smarter, and that's a bad thing for everyone.

Am currently reading the book about this scandal "Billion Dollar Whale".

I don't see any reason to blame GS given what I know so far, though that may change as I make my way through the book.

Consider HideMyAss server fun-tv.prcdn.net (5.62.58.220). They claim that it's in Tuvalu.

However, https://www.iplocation.net/ reports some results indicating that it's in the UK, and some indicating that it's in Tuvalu.

According to Hurricane Electric's BGP Toolkit, the origin AS for 5.62.58.0/23 is AS198605, with "Country of Origin: Czech Republic".[0]

But results from many ping probes (ping.pe, asm.ca.com and maplatency.com) indicate that the server is in Miami, FL, US.[1]

That's a lot different from Tuvalu, the UK or the Czech Republic.

Half a day and it still hadn’t propagated. If I could just stick a snippet of text in my site somewhere like I’ve done to authorize with other things it’d be fine, but Brave wants me to dig into this site that’s been working fine for a decade and make it HTTPS before they’ll let me do that.

Most creators are less technical than me and wouldn’t have even gotten that far, and if Brave was taking donations in their name they’d never get paid out. Which kinda sounds scammy to me.
The irony of you complaining about a ban while calling me deranged for doing so is almost too much.

Maybe you should take a break from the internet for awhile and focus on yourself and your cats. Doing that helped me after dealing with your nastygram.

You joked about something illegal and got the book thrown at you. “My services were in jeopardy as a direct result of what I said.” Well yes, that’s what happens when you joke about illegal activity.

“This company does not deserve our business.” What happened to you was due to your actions, not theirs. You should be grateful they will even unban you. Some services will simply tell you to take your business elsewhere.
Intellij also automatically escapes your string and inputs newlines wherever necessary, so if you copy a long string, it's generally done for you (I've copied pieces of XML and it generally worked totally fine).

It is an interesting thing through in your comment. Once historical person is morally bad, the person just can't be skilled or good at something - success must be coincidence and luck. ThE same way as people get angry if you say that Hitler was not all that bad painter.

That is just not how it is. Murderous psychopath can achieve success due to talents and hard work etc - neither makes him less guilty.

What makes Stalin or Hitler intellectually interesting are their tactics and abilities. The next succesfully murderous dictator will have them too. Else he would just stayed violent young man.

What do you mean? You can do both:

- import com.package.foo.Bar -> use Bar.methodOfBar() in code

- import static com.package.foo.Bar -> use methodOfBar() in code

What does "import com.package.foo.bar as bar" add? Other than some kind of aliasing, as in you import Bar, but alias it as Baz, so then you use Baz.methodOfBar() ..?

They should be able to easily build them, though someone's probably selling pre-assembled ones (my co-worker actually wanted to start doing this).

Take a look at the BOM in assembly manual[0]. The basics are made from NodeMCU (ESP8266) and SDS011 Fine dust sensor, + optionally DHT22. Plus some pipes. It can be assembled without soldering; it's really a few minutes job.

Firmware for ESP8266 is OSS. It's set by default to send data to the Luftdaten project, but unlike commercial solutions I've seen, it also allows you to get the data for yourself. I just set up InfluxDB on a Raspberry Pi and gave the sensor the URL to DB's API.

Copying from my sensor's config page, current firmware has support for following sensors:

SDS011 (fine dust sensor)
Plantower PMS(1,3,5,6,7)003 (fine dust sensor)
Honeywell fine dust sensor
PPD42NS (fine dust sensor)
DHT22 (temperature, humidity)
HTU21D (temperature, humidity)
BMP180 (temperature, pressure)
BMP280 (temperature, pressure)
BME280 (temperature, humidity, pressure)
DS18B20 (temperature)
GPS (NEO 6M)

I assume it's not hard to fork the firmware and add support for other sensors if needed.

Building this is a really easy quick project, or an afternoon project to do with your non-tech spouse / kid.

EDIT: Testing the sensor indoors led me to discover that ultrasound air humidifiers can pretty efficiently atomize everything that's dissolved in the water you feed them. After seeing PM10 shooting up to 600μg/m³ every time we turned one on, I realized the manual isn't saying "please use distilled water" just to make the humidifier require less cleaning...

For those who had the misfortune to suffer the consquences of his folly, he is not controversial at all. He is a conceited man-child with very bad manners. There's readily accessible, amble evidence for that by looking at photos of him in various settings, both formal and relaxed. The way he dresses and, more importantly, his body language make it quite plain. His writings and interviews attest to the same. BTW, and to do him full justice, his mathy book on game theory is not bad (though hardly a classic) so he may be somewhat competent as an academic economist.

I’ve claimed my site with Google by putting a file in a hidden place. Worked fine over HTTP.

But Brave? Brave, I gotta get this ten year old site converted over to HTTPS. Or wait for DNS to propagate for half a day. All the while y’all might be “taking donations” for me that I’ll never see unless I get this sorted out. Honestly I’ve spent enough time on this that if I don’t see that your site’s seeing my DNS tweak when I poke at it today I’ll probably just see about making my site refuse to serve my content to Brave instead; I’m happy serving my stuff for free but not happy with y’all making money off of it.

The point that less than 10% of inmates are Federal is important. Reforms would also be much more beneficial in state and county facilities. The conditions there are much worse, and the environment much more dangerous.
How does a websocket solve this? You still have multiple commands going through your websocket which could still conflict with another user's actions.

If you make the actions atomic, you could use REST. If you use a transaction, you could use REST even still. Letting client code consume locks is frowned upon, but doing it through a websocket doesn't make it better.

My point is REST is the worst solution except for all the other solutions.
I think more and more it's a case of people realizing there is no definitive "microservice" architecture. Because of that architects around the industry are now focusing on the flow of data and using whichever tools are best to get the right behavior in their business.

What was called microservices imo was just a higher level modularization of code to allow easier parallel development and maintenance/scaling, but since it needs a server that meant some boilerplate to initialize and keep the app running. A lot of people went about this in different ways which made things a bit chaotic to those new to the idea I think. The next logical step would be to remove that server code by running on a serverless architecture to focus on the functions that operate on data rather than having to maintain the initialization code and other boilerplate as well.

Among all of this advancement, an architect thinking the way Michael Bryzek does would have no problem using either approach since the focus is on the data and how data is used.

Still, server-based microservices are still very prominent, and I'd argue they are also much more platform agnostic if done right whereas (if I'm not mistaken) much of serverless is done in specific platforms causing you to be vendor-locked due to different deployment processes for each platform. I think research is being done to make platform-agnostic serverless deployments easier, but I haven't read much on it yet and am unaware of current advancements in that area.
Far more complex, I would argue. The “compiler” (or perhaps the “linker”?) consists of laws of physics and chemistry that govern intra- and intermolecular bonding and protein folding with such complexity that it has been the subject of one of the largest distributed computing networks ever: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home

Girls certainly do seem to care more about appearing caring and compassionate than the average guy would want to (in contrast, a 'male' upbringing would tend to phrase pro-social norms in terms of things like fairness, a strong character and the inner pride of pursuing a virtuous life), but to imagine that they're more pro-social in general seems like a bit of a stretch! (I mean, it's not like girls can't be just as mean and spiteful to others when they have the inclination and opportunity to be.)
The article describes a major problem with AI/ML-based systems, but the examples they picked are poor.

With recommendations, users don't really care about controlling the results. If you know which movies should be recommended, you would just search for them directly.

The real problem arises in systems where the user does want to achieve some specific results:

* Home automation for lights, heating and cooling,

* Microwaves with clever programs that never do what you want,

* User interfaces that adapt to user behaviour,

* Self-driving cars for other drivers on the road,

* Chat bots and assistant-type interfaces,

and so on.
comparing sales of specific video games to specific albums seems like a weird comparison. for every one purchase of an album, there will be many people who hear it without purchasing it (on the radio, in restaurants, while shopping, etc.). the only legal way to experience a videogame without purchasing a copy is to play at a friend's house. games like fortnite might rival the most famous pop stars today in cultural significance, but I don't think you could say the same for GTA vs Britney Spears in the mid 00's.

I assume it is because Java developers rely very heavily on their IDEs. Most of these IDEs simply hide the import statements by default. So you assume the imports are irrelevant, unless explicitly spelled out - and clashes are rare enough to not be much of a problem in practice. If imports are renamed, you would have to actually care about the import statements.
