That's too simple a read. There are many many many low-cost airlines in Asia, and AirAsia is rarely the cheapest for any given journey. They are -- however -- pretty reliable, reasonably well organized, and I travel with them regularly on the basis that they're not as cut-throat as some of the other low-cost options.
There's a bit more said about it here:

May be Ml is an empirical subject more than a theoretical subject. It is more biology than physics. More astronomy ... even is the subject is created does not meant it follows rules.

After all if intelligence comes out artificially, I hope it does not have rule.
The last time I went near MingW I think I came across that very problem. Suffice it to say I backed off slowly and didn't go back!
I don't understand your reasoning. Because, you could also "formulate" CH in the "language" of Turing machines. But that is clearly disanalogous to what the article is saying.
> forms are a complete mess to work with

Could you elaborate on this? I've been creating form heavy react apps for a couple of years now and haven't really come across anything that would make it 'a mess'.
Although not as easy to add/remote/edit URLs I make use of Chrome's custom search engines for the same functionality. For example, I have a "search engine" for HN that is just the letter "n" with no query modifiers. If I want to open HN in the current tab I can just press Cmd+L, n, Return and if I want to open it in a new tab I can do Cmd+L, n, Cmd+Return.
You can build more bridges. That is not "geography".
To be fair this kind of thing goes both ways. Things like tornados and heat waves are being increasingly blamed on global warming. The author of the article even falls into the very fallacy he's decrying by suggesting that the polar vortex may have broken down because of global warming. People don't seem to understand that weather and climate are different things. The global temperature has risen .8 degrees since the late 1800s. To claim that we can feel that at the level of weather is ridiculous.
Look at their advertised claims closely.

They say they cover 98% (ish) of Americans. You can cover that amount of Americans while only covering 60% of the land mass. This means rural areas are typically lower priority ... But they always soon to get interstates.
Can someone explain why/if this is a big deal?
It seems to me that they just rehashed undecidability and logical incompleteness.
> propublica deserves deep skepticism

Seconded. One of their journalists, Jesse Eisinger, quoted a paper to back a particular claim. I found the paper and discovered it said the opposite. Figuring a skimming mistake, I e-mailed Mr. Eisinger. The response was a brief dismissal, nothing more.
What evidence supports your claim it would do massive harm to the public?

My evidence for the contrary is any of the countries in the world where prescriptions aren't required.
Ubiquitous.
It's a naive interpreter. The source is parsed into a tree and then flattened into byte code. All values are stored in PyObjectPayload structures. Each operation has a function. Here's "hex":

fn builtin_hex(vm: &mut VirtualMachine, args: PyFuncArgs) -> PyResult {
arg_check!(vm, args, required = [(number, Some(vm.ctx.int_type()))]);

let n = objint::get_value(number);
let s = if n.is_negative() {
format!("-0x{:x}", n.abs())
} else {
format!("0x{:x}", n)
};

Ok(vm.new_str(s))
}

There's a big dispatch table, generated at compile time, and an interpreter loop. Just like you'd expect. It's useful if you happen to need a Python implementation to embed in something and want something cleaner than CPython. Probably slower, though.
One way to cut down on such is to require copyright claimants to post a bond, which is forfeited if the claim cannot be substantiated.
If you’re so smart, why are you shitposting on HN?
To review ALL of it.

Are you suggesting Google can't slow uploads to a human reviewable rate?

It's basically saying ai should be allowed to break the law, because it can't avoid breaking the law well enough.
It's probably useless for us now but a space faring civilization can use them for expanding their civilization :)
> Itanium being discontinued further reduces mainstream CPUs to the most boring, safe designs possible

IMHO, as someone who cares about security, that's not necessarily a bad thing. (I do lament the passing of tagged architectures, but that ship sailed a long, long time ago.)
https://github.com/swlkr/allyourpasswords/blob/master/allyou...
I think this is great news. I think it’s a valid point that it’s hard to compete with Waymo (and probably Cruise from GM). I’d also worry what would happen if Silicon Valley cornered the market.
had similar idea (4k lg tv, one of the last with netcast). what you might want to look out for when picking 4k tv as a monitor:

- backlight pwm. tv is huge and covers most of your fov at monitor distances. pwm burns my eyes off, and it goes away only at ~100%

- some funny sharpening that shows as halo aroud small text, but is not perceivable otherwise. annoying.

if at all possible, test tv with your source before buying.
I was an HP-UX kernel engineer from 2002 til 2005, a brief interlude writing IA64 CPU diagnostics, and then and a Linux kernel engineer from 2007 til 2010, all on Itanium systems.

In that time frame, it wasn't clear that horizontal scale out architecture (aka "the cloud") was going to dominate, and that scale up systems were going the way of the mainframe. The thinking was that there would always be a healthy balance of scale out vs scale up, and btw, HP alone did $30B+ revenue yearly on scale up with very slow decline, just like the mainframe market, which is still $10B+, even today.

To put that in today's terms, if you pitched a startup with a $30B TAM, VCs will definitely be returning your emails.

So no, it wasn't embarrassing to talk about working on IPF any moreso than it would be to talk about POWER today. It's just another CPU architecture with some interesting properties but ultimately failed in the market place. Just like Transmeta or Lisp Machines.

What should be embarrassing, but clearly is not, is to slag off entire industries not knowing shit about them.

Edit: I think working on B-52 parts would be an amazingly fun job.
Sorry but I don't think they are realistic at all. OP writes about global rights that:

1. "Grant the right to self-repair": Maybe someone would want to have a product that doesn't allow 3rdparty repairs? I.e. user would want to be sure there were no unauthorized repairs when buying some used hardware because user would like to have confidence the last repair wasn't sloppy or the used product contains only original parts? Why would you want to deny that possibility? Medical equipment, weapons, devices used in expensive mass transit like planes, I'd say to leave repairs of those to the proper companies.

2. "Replacement parts at sane price": how would you want to control the price of a part that is actually expensive to manufacture? Should prices of other, cheaper parts be bigger so that the expensive part will be cheaper? In such case, if I never own the MacBook with a design fault, but I will need the cheaper part, why should I pay more so you can buy your expensive part cheaper?

3. "Prevent using glue, welds": Isn't it cheaper and produces devices that have less moving parts? It allows quicker assembly and allows automatization during production so again, cheaper devices. The adhesive used in the phones are not as bad as people think, I've replaced batteries and screens from multiple phones, it's a PITA but nothing that can't be done. Also Chinese kids are also doing it on the streets in few minutes.

4. "Service material should be distributed on the same market as the device": Again, more costs. The customer will pay for those costs, not the company. The devices will be more expensive.

5. "Increase the warranty for parts that shouldn't break". I have no idea how anyone would be able to pass the law that already knows what part will break in a new device in the day of bringing this device to the market.

6. "Damage markers are not to be used to void warranty". What about vehicle crash sensors? Hard disk sudden motion sensor?

The problem when a user tries to think of new laws is always the same, those laws only address user's problem and nothing more. Just please, leave the law alone, imagine it's kernel mode programming and you're a web designer.
Not defending China's level of freedom here, but our system in the West is increasingly moving in that direction. Our governments increasingly interpret national security and public safety unreasonably broadly to curtail basic freedoms
Standardizing on sensors and communication protocols can only be a good thing, and the talks about making an "open" self-driving platform are enouraging. Time will tell if it's going to pan out and whether the need for quotes around open.
I might suggest that is their intent. They can point to the articles exclaiming that it quickly responds to claims as a cover for all the actual pirated content they earn ad dollars on.

OK, so I don't "ignore ads".

I actively avoid seeing them. I use ad-blockers, and have for over a decade. When I commonly read print media, I used to go through first and tear out all the ads, seeing them as little as possible, and pasting blank paper over the ones that had desired text on the other side.

When driving, I avoid looking at billboards, just as I avoid looking at oncoming lights at night.

I also don't trust news coverage. I especially don't trust favorable news coverage, because that's often advertorial. That does create bias I know. And if I'm actively interested in something, I read a variety of media, from different countries.
Rent control: Does it work?
I've recently been learning Ada and have found it to be a great language. I got into it because I'm interested in avionics and healthcare systems.

I really hope it will get a renaissance like, for example, Erlang.
Sure. And I do make an effort to stay conscious of how my awareness is changing, what's been influencing it, what agendas may be involved, and so on. I don't take my consciousness as a given. It's just something else to be questioned.
OK, I see that. They were spending on stuff that produced few impressions.

Flutter uses React model for creating UI and it feels very nice. I would be happy to use this model for standard desktop UI programming as well (Qt, Gtk+).
In order to understand Google actions it's important to understand a bit of culture at the top as well as who Pichai is.

Pichai spent all his management career at Google. He is undoubtedly a very bright individual but his personal life experience is limited to a single company which was on the rise during his entire career. He came to prominence by inventing the MSIE Toolbar. The thing was quite insidious: when installed, it showed some proxy for the PageRank of the current page (not the real PR). That gave it a reason to call home for every visited page -- this data was used to improve search quality. In addition it distributed Google Search to IE users. Toolbar generated some billions of dollars for Google. Pichai was also instrumental for starting the Chrome project.

Pichai is an extremely shrewd politician. An excellent diplomat. He manages the company by finding the balance between internal power groups. When the company is growing that's all that is needed. That's absolutely not enough when things go sour.

Here is an example. Google Cloud is failing. The fundamental reason for the failure is quite obvious: the margins in the cloud business are much smaller than in the ads/search. Consequently it's starved of good people. After all, if you are in sales why would you work on something which has 5 or 10% margin when you can work on something with 30 or 50% margin? The solution to the problem is also simple -- spin cloud off into a separate business. But that requires splitting up Google's infrastructure. That means a conflict with Urs Hoelzle. Which is impossible for Pichai. He would rather see Google Cloud die than pick a fight with a powerful old-timer like Urs.

That brings me to the Google culture at the top. If you want to have a career at Google you need to do something visible. At the lower levels it means working on a new project. At a VP level you need to start a new audacious project (this is why Google has 6 instant messengers). If it launches you get recognition and money. If not your career slows for a year then you do it again. Once launched, the project is no longer relevant for the career and can be passed to someone else for maintenance where it's starved of resources and slowly killed. This culture was formed long time ago, under Schmidt and Page. Pichai just perpetuated it. As long as ads and search generate healthy amounts of cash this may continue indefinitely. At the same time the new challenges and the new markets are likely to be missed by Google, just like it happened under Balmer at MSFT.

Pichai is status quo.
"You reviewed what I posted with an aim to proving me wrong"

As an uninvolved reader I had the opposite impression.
It should be feasible. I've got multiple bookmarklets that do this for downloading blogs and webcomics for later offline reading (some are so heavily scripted it's impossible to just fetch them).

```saveAs(window.title+".html","<html>"+document.head.outerHTML+document.body.outerHTML+"</html>")```

Add something to the above so that it inlines referenced files in base64, and you're basically done (I tend not to bother as I'm only after the text content). For actually interactive files, it gets more complicated; you'll need to save the current JavaScript state as well as the page resources.
"Standard economic theory is that rent control does not work, because if you force rents down, landlords may decide not to rent out their properties, which reduces the amount of rental property available."

If that's the main problem, then why not simply combine rent control with a big tax on properties rental that remain vacant for too long?

"Researchers also found that the controls helped accelerate gentrification, because some landlords demolished their older properties in favour of new-builds, which were exempt from the limits."

So don't exempt new-builds from rent control.
Introduction to Mesh Networks
Well, I know that I hate them. And I know a lot of other people that hate them. And I'm pretty suspicious of 'features' that allegedly make life easier for naive users by definitely making life harder for experienced users.

And I guess I would call it a "basic usability tenet" that the computer does what I tell it to. Documents, Music, and Videos folders violate this, because if I do the seemingly-obvious thing of just deleting them, the applications that want to use them will just recreate them unless I edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs. So, if developers really think they need to 'help' their 'average users' by creating these folders by default, they should finish the job and honor my desire to not use them, which I've expressed by deleting the damn things.

Also, if I want to rename them, the system should honor that. E.g. if I rename "Music" to "music", applications should not then go and re-create a "Music" folder.

Or, you know, they could just simplify my life and theirs by not creating these 'special' folders in the first place.
I've met the acquaintance of some McKinseans: their prime modus operandi most coincides with do-whatever-you-but-don't-get-caught anr money is personal value meter. Of the closest ecno-political centroids, I'd say they're on the spectrum of "free-market" libertarians, neocons and neoliberals who believe "protect the establishment," "markets solve everything" and "externalities don't matter."
I agree in general weather and climate are different. But concerning the polar vortex - the jet stream has become more wavy (north & south instead of west & east) due to climate change.

That's why we get -20F a couple days in Chicago, then a few days later it's 45F. Shifts like that never used to happen. The only reason it does now is because the jet stream is changed due to climate change.
Oh Transit fakes data where they don't have real-time info too. They just put a slick interface on it. After waiting in the cold for a once an hour bus that they were lying about I finally uninstalled the app. The incessant prompts to pay for an Uber didn't help matters either.
Freedesktop standards are nothing if not overly complicated and confusing.

Aggregability is NP-Hard:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://...

That is, even for linear systems, determining whether or not macrovariables (e.g. complete eigenvector sets, complete embeddings) exist for a given space is an NP-Hard problem. With linear systems serving as, effectively, a lower bound for ML problems (because, otherwise, why are you even ML'ing the thing?), whether or not a problem is "learnable" is, unsurprisingly, probably NP-Hard. Aggregability and learnability look staggeringly similar to me.

Demonstrating otherwise would be a huge result. Writing a paper confirming Kreinovich and Shpak in a slightly different domain is basically a "Water is Wet" paper.

Having not yet read the paper, I'm unaware of any new ground here.
It is indeed pretty cool and has most of what I need except for things like scientific (numerical) libraries. You could import GSL via FFI I suppose as both the free GNU and the Adacore commercial compiler are GCC based I think (I know the GNU one is for sure). That is another slight problem of mine. I think there is an exception to where you don't have to release source if you use the GNU Ada toolchain, but all the common libraries provided by Adacore are GPL'd so you likely have to skip that version and strictly use what I imagine is the expensive Adacore commercial version (no GPL) if you have IP issues.

The language itself is pretty awesome and I'd have no issue using it over C/C++ in most situations. They might have sane pricing for their commercial compiler, IDE, and Spark if you're just one person and not a government avionics shop, but I'm not sure. I'd love for Adacore to respond if they have someone in their communications group who has permission to do so.

I try to keep up with their blog posts and love their new logo. Like a lot of old computing technologies (Lisp, Smalltalk, Forth, APL...etc) I feel like Ada just didn't have the computing power or marketing it needed when it was introduced. I know I'd certainly feel safer riding on pretty much any transportation written in Ada over C or C++. I'm happy to see Smalltalk getting a second shot with Pharo, Lisp with Racket and Clojure (even Common Lisp is seeing a slight resurgence) and I wish the Ada community good luck!
> What if we are incorrectly making assumptions about things because we don’t see the full picture of how things actually are conceived, embarrassingly so.

This could be true, but I wouldn't call it "embarrassing" to come to flawed conclusions based on inabilities to gather evidence. That's how science works: we do the best with what we have, and continuously try to gather more evidence and refine our theories in response.
I've briefly used one of those. It's a cool little device once you get used to it, but there's definitely a learning curve. By comparison, it's hard to understate how intuitive VR headsets are for controlling your camera. That might not matter for professional drafters, but it would certainly make 3D modelling more accessible to the public in general. I can imagine a future in which 3D models are created and used much like images are used today.
This is true, the geography does create some traffic funnels.

I knew of one ex- Morgan Stanley quant, who I purposely don't talk to anymore, because his department's product was economically strip-mining West African agriculture for a certain crop, while claiming to be helping. They helped themselves and cheated farmers and brokers with all sorts of BS.
It was FORTH, which most developers really hated. Sometimes the end users even got exposed to bits of FORTH poking out, for example in the syntax for booting.

We really just wanted a nice clean 64-bit BIOS, with all the datatypes 64-bit. The BIOS is pretty decent if you strip out redundant interfaces, segmentation, and never-used functionality. Adding extra functionality to firmware is madness. Firmware needs to initialize key hardware like RAM, load a boot loader, and get out of the way. Firmware doesn't need to be practically an OS.

The old 16-bit BIOS was actually working OK. Sure, it was nasty to program for, but almost nobody had to deal with that.
in my experience, the embarassement of a job doesnt come from the technology you are working with.

it comes from the people you are working with, and the people you are serving as customers, and whether these stakeholders are being treated well and having their needs met.
Which parts of the wikipedia citation are "grounded in tribalism"?
Maybe McKinsey hasn’t kept up its media buys in the NYT lately.
I find that the biggest issue with forms and react is attempting to use lifecycle methods and local state to manage the behavior of the controls: at work, I’ve done a bunch of refactorings to replace local state and lifecycle methods with redux and logic in the render method of the parent components, and this has always led to simpler components and has fixed a lot of bugs caused by inconsistencies between props and state.
My point is that no one "misunderstands" this. Everyone knows a birthday encompasses an entire day. This is a bug, not a misunderstanding.

Large parts of NJ (including NJ's five largest cities[1]) are part of the "NYC Metro Area", right across the Hudson River and well-connected to NYC by commuter rail and bus routes. The commute from NJ to midtown Manhattan can be shorter than the commute from some of the outlying parts of NYC.
