Me too.

94 just south of the circle has been under construction for like a decade. I’ve never seen anybody working.

CPS teachers are the amongst the highest paid in the country, yet the schools are the near the worst.

Taxpayer dollars fund nothing but union graft and an ineffective police force which can write traffic tickets but not solve rampant violent crime.

The old saying in my neighborhood: “call for a cop, an ambulance, and a Pizza. See which arrives first”.

Saying “the government will do it better” ignores pretty much all the evidence.

Chicago is a glaring example, but NYC, New Orleans, Detroit, Philly and most other major cities have a similar history.
Oh right. Fair enough. Yeah, I assumed that was implicit. Good call out.

I wonder if they could deploy something like the airbags they had on the mars rover that bounced down, perhaps with vents allowing air to squeeze out on impact like a crumple zone and cushion a blow if it were to land on someone.

SSDs do implement smart and usually do give an early warning.

I've destroyed a few Samsung 840 Evo drives in a few servers and didn't lose a single byte. Failure condition was a very degraded read speed. It took a few hours to copy the 120GB to a fresh SSD

Yeah this seems aggressive. At that brightness it'd be like having street lights flying down your block. Also seems like lights that bright might use a prohibitive amount of power?

Yes, I think it's a pretty good option. Mechanical is usually associated with high-travel, high-force and relatively noisy switches. But there's so many options, you can have basically anything.

The only common denominator is, I'd say, better reliability. My MBA scissor keyboard is pretty good. But after several years of intense use most switches are literally falling apart.
The quick search bar is the one thing I find exasperating about Thunderbird. The advanced search works as you would expect, but I have no idea what the quick search is supposed to do. It does not do the one thing I'd expect it to do - a substring match on the email addresses and subject.
> In a perfect free market for crime, this would never happen. A break in criminal would sell access to the organization that could extract the most “value” from the target.

I don't know what you mean by "a perfect free market for crime", but penalties are presumably stiffer for cc theft vs selling ads; also more resources will be dedicated to finding the thief in the more severe case. So selling ads might be the right blend for more "conservative" hackers.
Good. The US government has been restricting commercial operations of drone development for far too long. Many companies that were US-based are moving their operations overseas where the laws are more reasonable (Australia and New Zealand, for example).

This is a simple and reasonable step in the right direction. Open up legal operations for the smallest category and begin collecting data. It can help pave the way towards larger operations in a safe way.
Yes, I suppose you are right, the man pages do not have sufficient examples. So, it is good that they add more there. (The man page still explains what all of the options are; now we have this "cheat sheets" with the examples, too.)
I doubt Amazon drone deliveries are what the FAA was considering with this proposal. More than likely, DJI Spark type of aircraft is what was considered where the pilots are looking to acquire video footage. Although a quick lookup shows the Spark to be slightly heavier than 0.55 pounds. That thing is tiny, so if it doesn't qualify for this proposed rule, then the crafts that do qualify would be more along the lines of toys. I was under the impression that the Spark was just about the smallest useful drone available. By useful, I meant can generate a decent quality image.
Likely not since this still seems to be extremely rare and only happen when things don’t go according to plan at least in humans.

But it does indicate that more research is needed to understand the implications of this, especially on genetic screenings.

Also mitochondrial eve isn’t a hypothesis, but rather stub for the most recent common genetic ancestor of modern humans before the divergence of the mitochondrial DNA groups.

Also it’s important to note that mitochondrial eve isn’t a “fixed individual” in say 50,000 years the mitochondrial eve candidate would be shifted to someone who lived well pass the current one as lineages die out.
That disclosure timeline is absolutely appalling.

One more todo and notes app. Why does the world need so many such apps? I always find myself changing from one such app to another, porting all the existing notes. Currently I'm using onenote and am very content with it. But there's always this feeling that something's not quite right. I tried evernote, onenote, and several other notes apps. I don't understand why I try so many note taking apps. I think others too feel the same way. Any ideas why?
I don't think that's a NIMBY - pretty sure people not into drones will just be against the noise in their backyard or other peoples backyards.
Back in the 60s, we just buried the main stash in the garden, behind the house. Nothing fancy, just a large paint can. We did get busted once, but they only found a little of this and that.

I've played some with geocaching, and it's amazingly hard to find something buried, with no data except GPS. Phones are useless for that. And they're also a security nightmare, being basically tracking devices.

So you use a dedicated GPS device, which doesn't transmit. But even with them, you need to average for maybe 10-20 minutes to get WAAS-level accuracy.

I like the IR retroreflector idea. And retractable! It'd be a little stationary robot. And for a cover story, have Pokémon Go installed.

Right, but a box with a 1lb rock in it, and a box with 1lb of feathers are going to fall from the sky to your head about the same.
Most American engineers don't think that way, because they have house mortgages they have to keep paying on, and Americans are terrible at living within their means so even upper middle class people are living paycheck-to-paycheck (i.e., they bought a house they could only barely afford with their current pay rate, a pay cut would mean they'd be forced to sell or go bankrupt).
It's the same in Mexico.
OS/400 -- now called IBM i -- sounds like it was ahead of its time:

IBM designed IBM i as a "turnkey" operating system, requiring little or no on-site attention from IT staff during normal operation. For example, IBM i has a built-in DB2 database which does not require separate installation. Disks are multiply redundant, and can be replaced on line without interrupting work. System administration has been wizard-driven for years. This automatic self-care policy goes so far as to automatically schedule all common system maintenance, detect many failures, and even order spare parts and service automatically.

Another peculiar feature is that this system was one of the earliest to be object-based. Unlike traditional OSes like UNIX and Windows NT, there are no files, only objects of different types. It implemented one of the earliest-known systems for persistent objects. Further, the objects persist in very large, flat virtual memory, called a single-level store.[1]

Blame Unisys. They sold my school district a dual pentium pro NT4 box running some sort of emulation environment to replace the mainframe they had been running. It was so weird going into the server room and having all that space back. Thankfully, we kept the (relatively) larger impact printers. :)
It it's the same as searching the car, open the door and search. Break the window, if needed. But it is more like searching your brain, which is the whole point of the 5th, it seems.
On your argumentation, there is no 5th. You can get a warrant to search someone's mind by asking questions they need to answer, even if it's self-incriminating. End of story.
Nobody has EVER gotten root console access on an Echo device remotely, and the only successful "remote" exploit that didn't require soldering requires that the attacker and the victim are both on the same wifi network.

Please, feel free to explain how Amazon and Google could exploit that vulnerability (that has since been patched)? More importantly, I'd love to hear how they are going to pull this off and hide it, given network traffic will be a dead give away?

If what your suggesting is actually what he meant, that's even more absurd than attackers trying to do the same.
It is but for laws to have some teeth it needs to be either illegal (maybe increase the fine hundredfold) to intentionally creating a situation that causes fines to be paid or the fines to need to be much higher.
On the latest version of macOS (Mojave), applications need to request the users’ permission before accessing photos, emails, webcam, microphone, calendars, and contacts, like how they do on iOS.
It's possible for them not to get back pay, even though so far they always get paid. It's worth noting, however, that government contractors sometimes don't get back pay after being furloughed due to a government shutdown.

I agree, however, that it's a bad idea to bring up one's personal financial problems when looking for a job. I think there's a greater chance than not that employers likely to respond will try to take advantage of OP's desperation.
I love that you provided your kids with a time machine to play with.
I mean, the 1lb or feathers will have a much larger box, and a much larger surface area for wind resistance. In addition, it will spread the impact over a larger area.
The FAA cares about "equivalent level of safety." If it can be demonstrated that an operator can keep things safe even though they're breaking a rule, the FAA will allow a waiver for that rule.

Imagine someone operating out in the bush in Alaska where there are no people. There's no need for the same safety precautions out there. Or operations in mountainous terrain where it's not possible that a manned aircraft would fly -- no need for anti-collision lighting there.

The FAA is quite strict and is very unlikely to hand out waivers unless the operator can clearly show an equivalent level of safety.
I think OP's point is that no key establishment protocol - quantum or otherwise - protects against a true "man-in-the-middle" who can simply negotiate different keys with both parties and transparently decrypt-encrypt in the middle.

Of course, this isn't what QKD is supposed to solve, anyway. QKD does not address authentication, only key distribution.

Close the borders to foreigners, open the skies to citizens, yes.

Maybe there is an informative comparison of border policy to airspace policy, but it has yet to be written here. Otherwise it seems the two aren't very related
I bounce back and forth between TypeScript and Clojure. I've been keeping a close eye on Clojure's upcoming spec as it seems to be a nice opt-in, run-time type-checking solution. I like the flexibility and quickness with which dynamic languages let me iterate, but I want the safety. I want at least some of the benefits of both.

So yes, they (dynamically typed languages) have some advantages. Sometimes when I'm iterating quickly, especially on new projects, I don't want to fight with the compiler. BUT, I vastly prefer TypeScript to JavaScript because JS has a lot of foot-guns. I think when we get the existential operator, it will have less foot-guns, but I will probably never again write a new project for work in JS from scratch.

I really love the ideas Rich Hickey put forth in his most recent Clojure conj talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5WdGrpoug

The ability to spec out the shape of an object, and then in the different contexts in which you need some of that data, specify what you need, is an awesome solution to optionality (Watch the talk!). I absolutely love how much thought RH has put into the design of Clojure, and I think the final release of spec will be a close to perfect balance of dynamism and opt-in safety.

Of course, TS is a superset of JS, so adopting it little by little sorta gets me that balance I want.

I'm quite confident Amazon has remote root on every Echo device. It's called a firmware update.
Typescript can be indeed run directly inside the browser, though that's often not recommended, and none of the currently recommended "Hot Module Reloading" tools that I know of take that approach.

Most of the HMR tools out there support Typescript in some way directly or indirectly (Typescript plugins for webpack, etc).

`tsc --watch` is quite handy and useful in those situations where an HMR tool doesn't support Typescript or you aren't using an HMR tool at all. (For instance, on one project recently I've been just using npm package `lite-server` which implements "BrowserSync" automatic reload and `tsc --watch`, because I currently don't need a full bundler like webpack, though I expect that to change soon.)
My passive-aggressive response when faced with something like that was along the lines of "If it's so important that my butt be in the seat at 8 on the dot, then it's equally important that it be walking out the door at 5 on the dot."

Since at the time I was coding in a hallway-facing cube in a cubicle farm, after-hours was my best time to be able to get into "flow" and really get things accomplished without interruption.

Phones still have a long way to go. They have all the corporate controls PCs don't, because corporations missed that boat.

I want a removable battery, micro-SD slot, audio jack, and control over the OS/interface comparable to my desktop. I don't give a crap about shaving a millimeter off the thickness, or 3 grams of weight. And I'm one who trims my backpack straps extra short.

awesome! glad you enjoyed it :) trying to write up the things I find super helpful (code-related or not) and share them. especially when I can't find any good docs on how to get something working lol
I just don't see phones regularly lasting 8-10 years. I use my iPhone daily and don't have a strong urge to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading, but even I tend to replace my phone ever 2-3 years - it just makes financial sense to do so, and battery replacements can only go so far with that.

As phones become more and more powerful over time, I can see my phone replacing my iPad or (perhaps) even my laptop - but I don't see them lasting as long as that. They're smaller (and therefore more prone to being dropped), with you constantly, and are mostly glass. Even with technological progress aside, I would expect most people to go no more than five years between replacements.
Using a simple number for an identity makes sense. Using knowledge of that number to verify identity does not.

The real problem in the US is that for any newly proposed identity system, any protections that keep the private sector from hooking into it for their own commercial surveillance will get scrapped due to lobbying. At the present, even social security and license plates are just basic government mandates, but form a foundation for unrestrained commercial actors to implement totalitarian surveillance.

So given that, the sensible freedom-preserving USian position is to be against any new identity systems until some laws have actually been passed to prohibit abuses of the current ones.
Is that even feasible on a large scale? It seems to be more reasonable to create cleared perimeters around towns and also not to have single houses in the middle of forests.
Given that we're talking big business and liability, I would also like to see some sort of bond posted against accidents and injuries, or an insurance requirement.
I'm interpreting your discussion prompt as a request for an economic crises 101 survival guide. Your question is quite vague though, and it could be interpreted in many other ways as well.

I think one could come up with some general strategies for being less vulnerable to rough economic climates. Moving to the country-side and setting up a self-sufficient farmstead is a naive example.

Supposing you want to actually live in a community, I guess one of the priorities is being able to maintain at least some economic activity in crises. So the question is, what kind of economic activity is resilient (has been resilient) to economic crises?
The "old ones" were fundamentally different devices, though...
I write my cards on Linux, review on Linux and android. The latex support is definitely helpful, but yeah, you need to 'render' it on desktop to get the images
Yeah, otherwise I like the article set. It probably doesn't help that IBM's messaging on what makes them unique is so damn poor. Also, I guess I'm going to find out how their pSeries strategy works in practice when we get our iSeries replacement which is going to be a S914.
My bet is that this doesn't stand, because (from the haphazard reading I've done) it doesn't comport with the reasoning used to allow people to refuse passwords, which is that the act of disclosing a password is a form of self-testimony --- not that rifling through a phone is intrinsically self-testimony. If I understand correctly (and there are lawyers on HN who can shoot this down) people have tried and failed to make this same claim about breathalyzer and blood tests and failed.

Just having an opinion about the case isn't all that interesting, and other people have said roughly the same thing on this thread, so what I'd like to contribute is the offer to go in on a long bet against the precedential value of this particular case. If it's eventually overturned, $100 to the charity of my choice; if it's exhausted procedurally and allowed to stand, $100 to yours. Any takers?
perhaps a radically new approach is required. machines should serve us, not we them.
Meanwhile Apple is charging $1,200 for a 1 TB MacBook upgrade. Hoping this year we see a significant jump in consumer availability of these drives. I’ve been using a 512gb laptop since 2010 at least. Would be nice to start seeing multi-terrabyte drives in devices besides after market or external drives.
I've been working on my own Time Tracking tool since 2015 as a side project. I've managed to break 1k MMR. The competition is just insane. Every day I discover a couple new time tracking tools, and every one of them looks better than the last one. I've actually started exploring other SaaS ideas on the side (nothing too serious yet though).

Ads really suck at our pricing point. Google & Bing are $5+ CPC for most of the main time tracking keywords. Facebook ads were horrible from my experience (and none of the other major time tracking tools are running them).

I don't really have any advice, but do want to wish you the best of luck!
How many people are dead because of that calculation?
> they're functions

Well, in math a lot of things we normally do not think of (or use) as a function can still be considered as such. For example, a vector "is a function." Why? Because it does something (to a covector, or a linear form - which, in turn, is a function, etc. etc.) Even a number "is a function" by a similar reasoning. Objects in math are very flexible conceptually.
IIRC it can be used from namespace or function scope, but not class.
In June 2015, I found the price of a 1 TB SSD was 400 USD, and in December, the price had fallen to 300 USD. In June 2017, I checked the price again and found it was 250 USD. I've put the numbers in my calculator to perform a curve-fitting using the exponential function, and it suggested that "I'll be able to purchase a 1 TB SSD for ~140 USD in 18 months", and I left the number a future note. Now, it turned out the regression analysis was almost correct (only for unnamed cheaper brands for now, I expect more reliable products are coming soon). The "Moore's Law" is really working.
I've heard this called the "every refrigerator is a miracle" theory.
Interesting. Then that should be a fixable bug in TS' lib files then.
> That's ridiculous. It's as though EETimes is pretending there have been no Ryzen keynotes in the past.

Does this site have any reputation? I'm also unimpressed with publishers who make statements like

>> The first [AMD] 7-nm chip will become available next month. In contrast, Intel unveiled a 10-nm PC processor at its CES press conference.

without any qualification on how to compare feature lengths.
The bio chip Apple created for face unlocking/motion tracking is the same tech that MS used on the Xbox Kinect 360 in 2010, only 8 years ago (iPhone X shipped in 2017 with it), shrunk down to a very small single chip package size. Apple bought the Israeli company, PrimeSense, that MS was licensing the tech from.

To me that example doesn't look all that different from typical hot-reload provided by webpack or similar. Can you tell me what I'm missing here?
That might just be the "official" channel, older songs like that usually have way more off-brand videos too.
I'm very against this (and any) fraud, and the evidence here is pretty damning. But I've been using Tidal since about a year before Jay-Z bought it, and it was and still is my favorite streaming service. Super fast and pretty UI, lossless audio, and a selection that now seems to rival Spotify's.

I'll admit my main reason for using it is the wide selection of albums to losslessly stream.

I know many people will say any differences in lossless audio are explained by the placebo effect (which could be true), but I've already spent thousands on the best audio system I could afford, so I figure I might as well spend a little bit extra on the source material as well. (I know many people will say there's no difference with lossless whether you have a good system or not, and that there's also no difference between a low-end and a high-end system regardless of compression, but my experience of both differs, even if it may all be in my head.)
It's not rare to find a 50 year old car or motorcycle. Did you mean something that functions for that long without maintenance?
> The leap for peripherals right now would be too great to expect a magical turnaround in adoption -- but I would love to be first in line to be proven wrong.

I have a feeling that Apple forcing the move to AirPods is laying the groundwork for that. I would love an iPad that was just a battery and a screen, that connected wirelessly to my phone for processing. Likewise, I'd be interested in a laptop that did the same - but it has to be wireless, and the phone's battery would have to be at least two or three times the capacity of the iPhone X.
