Cool -- thank you for keeping the pie rolling!

I love the way the new Blender 2.80 interface (which is a whole new ball game) integrates pie menu layout as a first class citizen, so you can nest any other kinds of user interface stuff inside of pie menus, and everything just works.

Have you seen the astounding Pie Menu Editor extension? It's getting seriously into HyperCard territory!

https://blendermarket.com/products/pie-menu-editor?ref=2

It's SO much more than just just a pie menu editor: you can edit all kinds of blender user interfaces widgets, linear menus, dialogs, panels, key bindings, macros, modal operators and properties. You can make custom control panels and put them into pie menus, as well as copying existing parts of the Blender user interface into your own pie menus and panels! And of course you can script and customize everything with Python.

It's really hard to convey everything it does, and the documentation and demos are pretty sparse, but here is a playlist with lots of examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTAsqEyZnEs&index=1&list=PLs...

Defining your own modal operators (interactive modes for live editing with visual feedback, temporary key and mouse bindings, etc) is particularly mind blowing! And those are great for invoking from pie menus, enabling a very fluid live direct-manipulation editing style.

Why Are So Few Male Students Studying Abroad?
No-coiner spotted.

Bitcoin is much easier to use than your credit card. Download a wallet. Hit receive. Message me. I'll send you some Bitcoin just because I feel sorry for you.
I wish NY the best here.
of course they do this (GOOG & APPL). typically the exploits are for older patched versions of ios/android. keep your phone patched and fully up to date!

Also, its not so hard. Oldmate was running doom on the thing. UFED is just another android tablet. Root it and find the l00t. Log all traffic from the mothership if you want to see payloads.
I could be misremembering, but I think Zulip let anyone attach a message to a thread, not just the original writer (I think because it identified threads by text match).

Why UC split with publishing giant Elsevier
He also advocated for taxing wealth in general instead of income and supported a 150% debt to GDP target (which..is basically what most MMT supporters want).

He is right that a 70% top bracket won’t increase revenues by much.
I'm not sure how that's a big deal for Lyft. It seems like a pretty healthy supply and demand curve -- if the number of drivers drops, it becomes more profitable to be a driver. And there's always people looking for supplemental work, who'll go where the money is.
I suppose the part I'm missing is the reduction in riders if there's not enough drivers, but that is apparently not a huge issue (according to their rider-retention numbers).

Do you disagree?
In Q Tel did invest in Facebook pre-IPO.

> how do we justify the continued gender favoritism for college women in terms of female-only scholarships, awards, fellowships, programs and many other campus resources

This article would be a lot more interesting if he actually talked about those things in some detail. Just saying that women are getting more degrees than men isn't very interesting, as it has been known for a long time.

It's great for a snappy headline, but not so good for helping to figure out how to make things better.
That's rather good, I hadn't actually seen it before I made this!
Why, though? There's almost nothing anybody could do to put any sort of dent that Gates would ever feel into his wealth.

He's so astronomically rich he's barely human. What could anybody do to affect him in a way that changes the things he could do with the money he has?
The Periodic Table of Things Not On Any So-Called "Periodic Table of X".
Agreed. In fact, this is why I always host my own work wherever possible, then syndicate it to third party platforms afterwards. That way, everything stops with me. Not Google, not YouTube, not Medium or Twitter, me.

Are there risks? Sure, self hosting your work can always be risky, and there's always the possibility someone genuinely will want to take legal action.

But many, many more won't. Many more know full well that they don't have a legal leg to stand on when it comes to takedowns of YouTube videos or what not. YouTube and other platforms not giving a damn about fair use is a gold mine for large companies and unscrupulous actors.

Self hosting avoids that, and makes those with questionable ethics (like say, Vice Media in this example) actually think 'do we really believe we've got enough of a case here' before trying to strike down criticism or what not.

Oh, and the time is coming? No, YouTube already isn't a viable place for many creators.
I'm mostly just having a laugh so I won't be able to explain the difference. If the money works in ways a lay man is familiar I'd expect I would be able to afford the necessary man power and equipment so far under 8m per month after equipment purchase that I don't really need to know the details of the finance opex/Capex difference. I really appreciate you taking the time to bring up your good points.
That is (perhaps was?) the premise behind MoviePass's long-term business plan.
Finn here. Most of the technically valid declensions of "dog" would never see any actual use, so it's not quite as bad as it seems, but I think you still need to count them as individual words because they can't form a valid sentence by themselves.

These noun declensions are not where it ends, though. There are many ways to derive adjectives from nouns and nouns from verbs and verbs from adjectives, so you can generate technically valid new words for quite a long time given just one root.

The flex circuits are actually pretty high-tech and not cheap nor easy to do except for PCB manufacturers that are specialized in it. This hardware is pretty impressive in my view; it's not as impressive as a modern smartphone, but it's a lot more impressive than most other consumer-grade stuff I've seen, especially because of the PCBs used here.

The big differences between this and smartphones are that smartphones use a lot more chips, most of them very high-density BGAs, and much more powerful ones (esp. the CPU), and have to worry a lot more about heat dissipation. Smartphones probably have more layers in their PCBs too, and that's expensive as well. But the PCB assemblies here I see in this teardown are not simple or cheap. Most consumer electronics try hard to minimize the number of PCBs, and to avoid any complex shapes or cutouts, and definitely try to avoid flex connectors.
I doubt directional drillers in North Dakota are paying San Francisco rents.

The problem with your analogy is that people understand car seats and couches are and do different things. Crypto enthusiasts seems to want Bitcoin (or something else) to become widely adopted and used but are highly resistant or indifferent to the myriad problems that prevent such adoptions on ideological grounds.

To use your analogy, it would be like someone believing that car seats should replace couches everywhere but ignoring all of the complaints you listed.

>Most wallet software I've used was super easy.

Do you have a technical background such that you are familiar and comfortable with using even complicated technology? I often find that since crypto boosters are developers or engineers, their ideas of simplicity and ease are wildly different from your average Joe.

More than a few AWS services lean rather heavily on "being AWS" for their value proposition as opposed to being any good at their job.

They do this because they can, and they can because, as you pointed out, once infrastructure and permissions and billing are set up with one cloud vendor, it's usually easier to deal with a mediocre-to-bad product than with integrating an entirely new cloud or tech stack.

AWS is the new IBM, with all the good and bad that entails.
But it's New York City lol, it has jobs
GCP, Azure, Oracle, Alibaba ... just to name a few.
It irks me how, with most of these take down controversies, the creator doesn't even try contacting Youtube anymore. They go straight to making a big fiery video and post it on all social media sites. They always have bold claims with zero proof.

I don't understand how the author can just assume the cause and intent of this take down when he hasn't even contacted Youtube yet. To me it sounds like a misunderstanding or bug.

There are stages of adpocalypse?

Surely ad blocking would mimic the slow growth rates of browser adoption.
I think at this point discord is the new IRC, a generic chat platform for communities, organised by interest - nearly all the same benefits of IRC vs Messenger apps, with the additional benefit that somebody cares enough to make it user-friendly. A shame that it's closed-source and centralised though :(
I don't know what these cost, the article didn't say,but I run Hue throughout my home.

If I was to take just the absolute minimum you'd require for sleep/wake, and getting to the bathroom at night;

1 bulb in a lamp in your bedroom, 1 on the landing and 1 in the bathroom, add 2 Hue motion sensors (or just one if your can live with it turning both the landing and bathroom lights on) and the hub, you're looking at 1 Hue Starter kit and 2 sensors, in an Amazon sale you could do that for around £150, or closer to £200 if not. This is for the colour and white ambiance bulbs, which do full colour and a broad spectrum of white.

Now you have your colour temps for sleep wake, as well as any colours you desire for the landing/hall and bathroom. You have hands free lighting from room to bathroom at night, and can pre configure different light temps, colours and brightness for day/night and can set sleep/wake schedules, sleep timers and various other bits (all without connecting the hub or your phone to their cloud service); if you want some physical control the battery powered dimmer switch can be had for ~£20.

I've been running this for a couple of years now since buying my new home, being able to get up in the middle of the night, hall and bathroom lights automatically turn on to a dim red I've configured for night mode, then wonder back to bed and have them turn them selves off a couple of minutes later has been priceless.

I also don't use an alarm because the bedside lamps are set for "sunrise" at my desired wake time.

The sensors also sense ambient light which you can configure the level of to not activate the lights at all if the natural light level is sufficient in the day. The sensors also hide other features accessible by the (local) API that Hue don't use yet, such as temperature and Lux amongst other things.

The Hue can also be extended almost limitlessly over time to (as I've done) cover your whole home (and outside it with their outdoor lighting).

The question now is, how close in price is that minimal scenario to what these cost Casper lights cost?
Well, yes, it's quite special; it's a Finnish-Ugric language, one of the few languages in Europe that isn't Indo-European.
The distribution and concentration of bitcoin and its mining resources makes even decidedly unequal societies look like socialist utopias.
Of these two, I find the second more appealing. The main use cases I have in mind are linking discussions from issues, and in general creating a permanent record of the work we do (our IRC logs got lost, I should have been on the ball to preserve them).

For people who actually want the Zulip experience, I have no problem just asking them to sign up for real. Since we have open signup based on github login, it's a pretty small barrier.
My church bought a Amiga 2000 and a Video Toaster because as a teenager they trusted me to get what they needed. It was there till 2004. :) I loved that machine.
This is the wrong thread for this, as I think you know, since you also posted.

We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19284582 and marked it off-topic.
The site currently vomits up a really nice debugging page if the browser's localStorage is disabled (as my usual browser is). The gray text at the bottom suggests that you've got a "development" flag currently turned on in production. Might wanna check that.

I'm not 1099 currently, but I was for about 10 years and taxes are one of the 2 main things that eventually kicked me back to a regular job. I was terrible at keeping track of all the little charges and receipts for everything. Xero helped, but ultimately I ended up owing about $8k of taxes on $30k gross a few too many times and it just wasn't livable.

So I really hope you guys do well.

Diversify to what, though? A portfolio of Treasury bonds and Monopoly money is not meaningfully diversified. If there is no other way to monetize video content than YouTube, there's no meaningful diversification you can do. You either have to eat the risk or leave the market.

Part of the appeal for YouTube is that there's no storage limit or associated costs.

I've spoken to YouTubers who started off keeping backups but quickly realized it was nowhere near cost effective for them to do so. And even if you do pay enough to keep those backups around, there's no way to back up the links themselves. For some videos it doesn't matter whether you reupload them or not, if it's not available at the original link it might as well still be dead.
What It’s Like to Report on Rights Abuses Against Your Own Family
Its certainly interesting, but is also a perfectly acceptable outcome. Equality of opportunity does not mean equality of outcome.

Not directly related, but I wonder what a chart would look like if you compared the absolute value of a college degree with this same time span. Its anecdotal, but success doesn't seem tied to college degrees in my experience. At this point I'd only get a degree if absolutely required by some sort of perfect job opportunity, as there doesn't appear to be any value to me personally otherwise.
Foreign countries aren't subject to US phone laws. Anyone making any call in or to the US can just lie about their caller ID, and the phone company forwards that lie to you.
The line is drawn around having single words for what other languages have phrases for. koirankaan is a single word just as houses is not a phrase (house es) but the plural of house.

Languages use different concepts to express the same ideas. The study of languages isn't built around the ideas but around the structure of the language itself.
> What makes an athlete or an entertainer able to demand top dollar?

That they're one of the only few who are able to do what they do.

Now ask yourself: what makes Elsevier able to demand top dollar? It's not that they have access to the best peer reviewers, do the best type setting or archival work, etc.

No, the only reason is that they own the brands that are pivotal in academics' careers. That's not added value, that's rent-seeking.

In a properly functioning market, a new publisher could enter the market, provide equivalent or better services, and undercut Elsevier by taking just 30% profits, for example. Elsevier could then cut their profits to 25%, the new entrant could go below that, etc. - until the market stabilises at a profit that is deemed reasonable by both the supply and demand side.

But such a new entrant can't enter the market, because they do not compete on publishing services (i.e. something that benefits public knowledge) - they compete on brand name.

> Once again I have a hard time feeling bad for the example that is given (and the point of my comment) in particular the super wealthy Harvard University and other well off academic institutions that quite frankly piss away money on all sorts of non-sense.

Those examples are given because they are the extreme case. If this is pissing away too much money even for them, what do you think the situation is like for institutions from the global south, for example?
The advantage of parser combinators is that you can use them with a lot of different things. Parsing some UDP protocol, no problem, 20 lines of codes. Parsing some bespoke binary format, no problem. I agree that maybe if your problem space is just compilers that maybe you should consider something else, but most parsing is not about code and more about data. In these cases, parser combinators are a no-brainer.
What's said is that, to build this thing in America, it'd cost an absolute fortune because there simply aren't factories here which are really capable of making things like this in high volume cost-effectively. This reminds me of the article I read not long ago about Apple trying to build MacBooks in Texas and having all kinds of problems just finding screws for it, and having to get them from China because the local companies just couldn't do it.
Economics 101 teaches us that markets are supposed to be based on “informed
consumers making rational choices.” If we had a market system like that, then
a television ad would consist of, says, General Motors putting up information
saying “here’s what we have for sale.” But that’s not what an ad for a car is.
And ad for a car is a football hero; an actress; the car doing some crazy
thing like going up a mountain or something. The point is to create uninformed
consumers who will make irrational choices.
