It's similar to the newspaper. You still see the advertisements in the newspaper even though you paid for it. I guess it would be more expensive without ads.
So basically, the Shuttle was simply a mistake as we now know, but the Soviets never accepted the very idea that such a massive mistake by a nation they deemed so advanced was possible, which resulted in an even bigger mistake on their own by reproducing it.

Much like in 1941, Soviets never accepted the possibility of Nazis invading just because every rational estimate resulted in suicidal nature of such an invasion by Hitler, which turned out correct, so they never prepared properly believing that Hitler is a military genius and will never commit such a stupid mistake.
You are right. When I visited Serbia, I bought some locally printed copies of Bonelli titles, along with some other great artists' works printed in Serbian. I am not sure about the other ex-Yugoslav countries, but I can easily say that Turkish and Serbian comic/graphic novel readers have a very similar taste.
That reads an awful lot like the reasoning "You don't have to be concerned about government privacy or authority overreach if you don't break the law."
I’m convinced that the location of your pharmacy plus whatever class signals you’re silently emanating strongly influence how pharmacists respond to requests for pseudoephedrine. I’ve also never had any issues getting it, but I’m an upper-income guy in a wealthy area of Seattle. I have family members in the rural Midwest who, to put it gently, do not signal upper-class status, and they have told me that pharmacists give them lots of hassle regarding cold medicine. You can sort of understand the logic but it’s a pretty ugly display of naked classism.

I went with a Dell Latitude 3180, which is basically a Chromebook that comes with Windows instead. I wanted something 10+ hours battery life, small (11-13" screen), fanless so that it'd be quiet.

--Linux works 100%

--11 hour in-use battery life so it doesn't live plugged in

--Dead quiet (no fan)

--Has good enough specs to get by (N4000 cpu, 4gb ram, edit: also a ssd rather than flash storage, which makes a big difference, and I have a 256gb microsd for extra storage)

--Not a convertible and has a real keyboard

I paid about $200 for it. It gets used more than my $1k laptop.
The problem is that newspapers still make the majority of their income from advertising. This is why ads still appear after you're subscribed and logged in to their websites.

Shifting to a subscription-only revenue model is not an easy proposition, and requires a huge adjustment that most newspapers are not yet ready to make.

Absolutely. The bank - advisor (PwC, EY, etc...) relationship is just as riddled with conflicts of interest. It is in the interest of the advisory firm to find a "creative" solution for their clients (the banks). Otherwise the bank would go to a slightly less scrupulous institution. The theatrics apply again, the bank gets to claim to have been audited by a prestigious consultancy, the consultancy gets paid, the authorities get to shovel the problem under the carpet and the specific individuals in the authorities get a cushy consultancy job after their public service. It is not in the interest of any of these players to change anything, so it is not going to change.
Private companies don't have any obligation to continue showing anything. They don't have any such 'moral' obligations at all.

Consider that We The People developed a legal framework for companies to exist as the existence of companies as a thing was deemed to be a net good. But what if it isn’t any more, if companies are purely focused on profits at the expense of the legal and social environment in which they exist? Then the law can be amended.

I disagree. Even if HN had the best API you've ever seen in your life, what difference would it make?

Lots of good ideas. I have on more than one occasion wished for the laptop's monitor, keyboard and mouse to double up as peripherals for another computer. Another niche thing I've wished for is this: An input selector on the laptop's monitor to select b/w igpu and dgpu. The use case if for gpu passthrough to vms so that you switch between host and guest and still get good gpu performance in the guest. Current optimus setups on laptops are all over the place in their implementation, although some of them do allow passthrough of the dgpu. The main blocker though is that dgpu is only connected to external ports. So if you mux it to the internal panel, you can achieve this without complicated software hacks or copying of framebuffer from one gpu to another. The only additional software support you'd need is to capture the keyboard and mouse for the host or guest based on the context.

yes you do raise a great point actually. I think my mental model for the fuel economy shift is moving from red geographies to blue geographies (with innovation occurring inside universities and cleantech startups, and the majority of solar panels being installed in bluer states) but you're right in that there's still plenty of blue collar work involved.
honestly I'd be really happy with a keyboard that folded out to around the size of one of the smallish bluetooth keyboards, X emacs a browser and a terminal on my phablet.

Exactly. What we need is:

- Fact based journalism.

- A clear list of sources that we can check ourselves.

- No biases in the choices of titles in order to sell a predefined narrative.

- No ads in order to keep outside interests of dictating narratives.
That's certainly eccentric to say the least... a mix of some well thought out and valid information completely spoiled by pseudo-science nonsense like references to Planet X and Nibiru[1]...

Are you sure you're not mixing up IMEI (identifiers of hardware handsets and end devices, can be often reflashed), with IMSI (identifiers on the SIM, and therefore the number and subscription associated with the SIM (simplified description)) ?

You don't need to "buy", but you need to FIND, the IMSI of the target you're going to do fake roaming (fake Location Update) request on. This is most of the time doable.

In case of retaliation you want it to be delivered soon, ideally before you and the retaliation infrastructure is destroyed. If the retaliatory strike is already in flight before the first strike can even reach the enemy territory (or sattellites, etc.) then it is much more difficult to prevent.

That's why the response time is so crucial. To ensure retaliatory strike strikes fear in your enemy (pun intended) you need to convince the enemy you are capable and willing to put your ICBMs before their ICBMs can even reach you. If you have only 2 minutes you need to convince the enemy you are willing and capable to do it within 2 minutes of detecting the strike.

You also want retaliatory strike to be delivered all at the same time as the best strategy seems to be in numbers. It is relatively easy to stop a single ICBM. It is completely different problem to stop hundreds of them each possibly containing multiple warheads. In this case the strategy is to deluge the enemy with warheads or, more precisely, hope they will not try to destroy you because they can never be sure to stop all out retaliatory strike.
I like to see projects like this pop up because it's so easy to fall into a trap of accepting input latency that other more bloated UI frameworks bring.

As we all know, Electron is really bad in this department but it's not limited to Electron.

I recently installed native Linux and the problem exists there too. Gnome terminal has a MASSIVE amount of input latency compared to xterm. Even worse than the difference between Electron and any non-Electron app in Windows.

I wish more people embraced and went all-in with UI frameworks that were optimized for reduced latency. IMO reduced / low latency input is the most important feature for a terminal or code editor.
Yes, I do exactly the same to make sure the output stays the same. Snapshotting is awesome (for go, cupaloy works quite well [1] - jest for react is great) but does not give me the chance to 'record' the underlying logic dynamics. That's why I think unit tests are still an important tool at hand.

West Antarctica is something that glaciologists are really worried about in the long term. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet's bed slopes downward as you go inland, especially around Amundsen Sea where Thwaites Glacier is. This reverse slope means that if the grounding line (where the ice begins to float) retreats back, it is in deeper water. This causes the ice flux to increase, making it retreat backwards into deeper water still, etc.

This is called the marine ice sheet instability. There's no mechanism known thus far that would countervail it, so it is something that should be taken seriously. Antarctica is too cold to melt much from surface warming anytime soon. Ocean warming and changing currents are a different story, though.
Well, the difference is when you buy a DVD, you actually have it, you know you can keep it, watch it, give it to friends or family whenever you want.

So for your run-of-the-mill blockbuster streaming is fine, but for a movie you really like, nothing beats owning it.

I discovered music listening to my parents' vinyl records, now if they had only listened to radio, what kind of cultural legacy could have they passed on? Their music would have "vanished" by the time I was there, and that's what would happen to my music and movies as well if I only used steaming services.

Streaming is like the fast-food of media, it allows easy consumption of unremarkable content but it doesn't seem fit for remembering pieces of art.
Then give me a subscription model where I can access content from x, y and z for a fixed fee. If I need multiple accounts and subscriptions, I couldn't care less.

It's that simple.
Commenting on the headline versus the contents I see.
Alas, I don't think this is going to happen, because financial accidents are rarely gory so it's tricky to mobilize the masses. If someone gets pounded to pulp by a power hammer, that will get plenty of visceral coverage and politicians will latch on to score easy cookie points for being seen "committing good deeds".

Finance is too abstract for this to work. "Big Bank Co ABC defrauding other institutional clients by XYZ billions" is so far removed from common folk that they can't relate to it. Some politicians will make some token moves, which (as described in another comment of mine) will just end up funneling some money into another special interest group and that's it.

we ought to strive for it as an ideal, but admit practical compromises.

to make a contrived example: suppose you have a friend that several other people accuse of stealing. none of them can prove that he stole from them, but each of them lost their wallets at separate gatherings where he was present.

you might not find this sufficient cause to confront him or cut him out of your life, but you would probably be a little more careful where you leave your wallet when he's around.

I was also in the business for a small notebook, for pentesting (Kali).

I have a GPD Pocket 2, its by a Chinese company who give terrible customer support. My device had a clear spot of a fingerprint during assembly (and a dead pixel) and they didn't want to swap or refund even though I reported it right away. They claim they couldn't see it even though I made 4k pictures of the problem, and asked independent people to verify the issue. I didn't bother with Indiegogo refund as I know they don't do shit.

The machine comes with an evaluation version of its BIOS. The keyboard is meh, and they removed the trackpoint (from the GPD Pocket 1) in favor of an optical device. Like a MBP the machine gets hot and won't be able to use much cputime in sequence. For now, I use a MBP 2014 with a VM. I did put my money on Planet Computer's Cosmo Communicator [1]. They got a mechanical keyboard, though lower specs (and ARM). They'll have a Sailfish port, native Android, and likely a Debian GNU/Linux port (you can run Kali tools on Debian).

I can understand the argument, but what other methods do we have to test particle physics other than building larger and more powerful colliders? Are there some new designs that would make it cheaper?

Otherwise I don't mind spending money just for the sake of exploration, maybe that money could be "more well spent", but that's true for a lot of things. Who knows maybe it will find something interesting. It's not even a total waste anyway as it will probably spur jobs / research / interest.

ReasonML and TypeScript: Comparing Their Type Systems
The best art is often inaccessible to the intellect.
I had one of those experiences a while back where the conclusion is so obvious that you wonder how you hadn't worked it out many years earlier.

I actually did rest and drink plenty of fluids when I had a horrible cold.

I stayed in bed for most of the next 24 hours, sleeping when I could, at a comfortable room temperature and with a little ventilation.

I made sure I drank several pints of water during that time, even though at first my sore throat was hurting every time I swallowed and I really didn't want to.

One day later, a condition that had felt like it was going to give me at least another week of unpleasantness was already greatly improved. Not fully recovered, but much, much better, far beyond anything any cold remedy medication had ever done for me (though the real medicine did also help with decongestion and allowing enough comfort to fall asleep).

It turns out that doctors have been right all along and it was just me not getting it, fooling myself into thinking that if I went to bed a bit early and had a few extra sips of water then I was following the doctors' advice.

Condé Nast seems to have figured out a workable majority-subscription revenue model.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/conde-nast-to-put-all-titles-be...

> “The New Yorker, which introduced a metered paywall in late 2014, generated about $115 million in paid-subscription revenue in 2018, up 69% from 2015, people familiar with the matter said. That revenue includes consumers who subscribed to the digital and print editions, although subscribers today no longer have the option of subscribing solely to the print magazine. The New Yorker’s regular renewal price for a print and digital bundle is moving to $149 a year from $119. The magazine will publish 47 issues this year.”

Granted, there’s a big difference between publishing 47 issues of long form writing a year, and 365 issues of a much longer daily-reported newspaper.

EDIT: not to mention that the Times and other big newspapers probably see themselves as informing the public discourse. It probably wouldn’t fly to put general newspapers behind a paywall, though the FT has greatly increased profitability with this strategy.
I think you have to complete the thought. What kind of scenario are you proposing.

The accusation is that banks were manipulating an index to make their position more profitable at the expense of the client.

I don't see how the potential collapse of some third party (a nation) changes this. Surely you're not saying, hey Bank A ripped of Customer C but that's only because we didn't know if Greece was going under.

You seem to be suggesting that somehow a government might have let the bank do it to save themselves? I am not sure.

I've struggled with this as well. While open bugs (and length of time open) seems like a useful metric, that would be a problem if management regularly tells development to not work on bugs (new features instead). I suppose that could work if you had some way of marking the bug as "blocked by management" or something.

Cycle time measurement would be wonderful. But that would seem to require 1) a reliable and fast build/QA/Release pipeline and 2) either consistent-sized "chunks" of work or a weighting factor. We're working on getting the former right, and the latter seems like it could be gamed in either direction.

Another issue that comes up is how do you deal with KPIs impacting salary when your environment trends towards chaos? For instance, if you have a big client who must be pleased - should they find something that displeases them, it could easily pull people off of other work until they are happy again. If KPIs are based on cycle time, now developers are being penalized simply because the client exists and has more leverage than the development team.

I'm wondering if KPIs are the answer, rather than simply having rewards at milestones.

One concern I have with a KPI-based approach is how to deal with efficiency improvements. Say the team figures out how to double the amount of work they can reasonably do in a sprint (for example). Now that's the new baseline, so now it becomes harder to improve one's personal KPIs to stand out. Done badly, the team ends up caught under a productivity asymptote and feels less motivated rather than more.

Another concern with individual KPIs is how they can sometimes cause the team not to work together. A senior dev under a bad KPI system might be incentivized not to mentor and support the junior devs, because doing so damages their KPIs in favor of the juniors.

Team-based KPIs can lead to resentment too, as some team members won't carry their weight and will end up being resented.

I've really been thinking about this a lot lately and the harder I look, the fewer answers I have that might be correct. Thank you for responding and thanks to OP for asking the original question - it comes at a perfect time for me.
