5G is the new space race and sooner than later we're going to have a Sputnik moment. Everything coming out of China needs to be taken with a grain of salt but it definitely seems likely that they will have a head start in 5G deployments, especially as Europeans seem resistant to US demands to boycott Huawei.
20 years ago, indeed, Java wasn't tiny. That was on "high end" desktop computers with roughly 64 to 128 megs of RAM. Today, in the days of browsers taking up gigabytes of memory, it's hardly a concern. That applet JVM would start lightning fast.

>has never installed any law enforcement software or equipment anywhere on our network;

Is the NSA a law enforcement agency? Does looking the other way while an agency installs it count? Can you really know if the hardware you get has not been tampered with by a government agency?

I'm not sure how any company could assure me about these issues.
weberc2 said that the cited paper/study/opinion piece was puzzling given one recent event. I suggested that weberc2 might want to further study the issue to see if his/her perception is wrong. I did not say that weberc2 is wrong. What I was hinting at is a larger issue facing American society as it pertains to media consumption.

In the present era it is easy for media to focus stories on a given segment of society. People increasingly are in “news” bubbles where their preconceived views are reinforced by the media they consume. I put news in quotes because mostly what we have now are entertainment companies whose business model is largely based on generating rage by framing stories a certain way.

I can see and understand why weberc2 thinks media portrayal is minority friendly. If I had to guess I’d wager that weberc2 leans right politically in the U.S. based on language he/she used. I think weberc2 is referring to politically correct speech and how we have gone a bit far in this regard when talking about race issues. It’s very hard to have an honest discussion about race in the U.S. because of this. I think weberc2’s view on the matter at hand is referring mostly to this or comes from this perspective. I could be wrong. This is all a guess on my part.

When I talked about media portrayal I’m talking about movies, tv shows, images that have been spun to give a certain perspective. Narratives that have been crafted over decades that change what images are evoked when certain phrases are said. For instance, it wasn’t until after white flight from the cities that “inner city” became a phrase.

My suggesting to weberc2 was to look into all this. In what ways have the sources of our information formed our views? Are those views correct? Does the evidence support them?
Qualcomm's Next Premium Snapdragon SoC Will Integrate 5G Modem in 2020
The H6 processor it uses isn't well supported yet and is still reasonably new. See support here: https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainlining_Effort

Armbian has only started to work on it, see here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9368-orangepi-3-h6-allwiner-...

Orange Pi make some great boards, they just take a while for them to be well supported. The Allwinner H2+/H3 which was originally released in 2014 has only got really good software support over the last 2-3 years.

Is there any way to "ignore" specific files or directories? For example, I want to reuse React components across different routes (exposed as jsx files). However, I don't want `mysite.com/components/Container` to be a valid endpoint.

Linus Torvalds avoids Linux distributions like Gentoo or Arch because he believes the whole point of a distribution is to make it easy for the end user to install and use useful apps on top of it.

He also doesn't care about trivialities like bash vs zsh. It doesn't (and shouldn't) matter to 99% of people.
I look at how much time (and Friday nights) I sacrificed to get into programming and think life is too short for everyone to be a programmer.

And I don't see why programming has to be the ubiquitous pipedream over any other field, like philosophy. Of course, the main issue is that everyone is different and only a fraction of people are going to have an interest at all in a given niche.

The majority of people can't even do something that is universally uncontroversially good for them like exercise or stay a healthy weight. So I always thought it was funny to think that we'll all sing kumbaya over something that requires effort but with even less global appeal like programming.

I see where the SEC is coming from and I actually agree with them. That said I'm having a hard time getting behind the government's approach/response to Twitter/tweets when we have the POTUS tweeting the things he is. I don't want to get into politics here, that's not what HN is for really but it's a fact that Trump's tweets have not always been... shall we say? "Based in reality" or more succinctly "factual" ...

Now, I'm not saying the SEC should stop what it is doing, it just leave a really bad taste in my mouth.

Doesn't that go against the mission of OpenAI? I thought they were about making technology publicly accessible to everyone so that it can't be abused by only a few people. This makes them seem more like a business with proprietary data.

> However, wages (like all other prices) in a market are set by supply and demand.

This should be the case, but minimum wage laws completely screw up the market. The unintended consequences of minimum wage result in almost the opposite effect of what they are intended to achieve. They keep wages artificial low, and increases in minimum wage push the costs of all goods and services upwards, as well as cause disemployment.

Wages have been "accidentally" coupled to minimum wage policies which is why there is less correlation with productivity. How this article can be so long and barely mention its effects baffles me.

Try sautéing your garlic with the onions once they've softened. Sixty seconds is all you need. It blooms the garlic aroma and cooks out the harshness that fresh garlic can have. I've not tried using cumin or paprika in my sauce. I'm hooked on spicing the sauce up with red pepper flakes.

Fake news and propaganda are one obvious target of article 13.
I'm actually on the fence on article 13, I actually like the fact that commercial operators will be liable for the content on their platform under art. 13.
For me, article 11 is way more important, making publishers liable for content on someone else's server, that's just insane.
Probably having .htaccess / .env / database configuration / files that are not supposed to be public be exposed.

For instance, Rails has a public/ folder for files that are going to be served. And jekyll hides files by pattern-matching them[1].

Hi major, I just read your post and its great, thank you, it really has inspired me to learn more on erasure codes. I only have one doubt: in the Example Problem, I understand the 4th parity bit should be the 8th position (starting the first at 1), however you placed it in the 9th position, and I think this is the reason why (according to me) in the 2nd parity check the bit should be 1 instead of 0, however your answer was still right, so could you tell me what is the correct place for the 4th parity bit?
Soy Source isn't from Japan. It originated from China. And if real Soy source meant it is fermented in the old fashion, non industrialise way, there are actually a few Hong Kong brands still doing it and they are very much affordable.

The best one I tasted however came from South Korea, and it isn't available in any Retail Store as the Restaurant ( Or more like a Palace ) made it themselves.

I want standalone MP3 players with removable media and simple controls (no touch display) to make a comeback. You could make your crush a "mix tape" with those old 32MB SD cards everyone has lying around from the good old days when everything was a standalone device. Someone could manufacture little stickers to put on the SD cards so you could customize each one. And little cases to carry them around in. Bands could release albums on them. And your modern car will probably be able to play them too.
Ask HN: How do you keep track of astroturfers on HN?
I've noticed a lot of astroturfing in the past couple years. It's led me to visit HN less and less often, which probably isn't such a bad deal. The problem is that i sometimes feel like I am the problem, but i'm a peace-loving hippy... so maybe that's not a reasonable assumption.

I wonder if anybody would identify the same in this thread:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19251589

There's a style of commenting which (to me) sounds like it's written by a Mandarin speaker with great, non-native English skills. And it seems to me like astroturfing...

Is anybody keeping track these folks? Does YC care? Is YC in on the gig?

Any thoughts would be appreciated... even if you want to just say i'm crazy, it'd be interesting to have some discussion in the community about this.
Only the future will tell. Maybe it's me being pessimistic but so far tech (for the masses) is mostly used for:

- making money through ads.

- enabling people to live their shallow ego trips on fb / ig / whatever is used these days. (influencers, &c.)

- drown people in endless entertainment to make their work/sleep cycle tolerable.

None of this is helping society is a whole, but, sure we have nice electric cars 90% of the population can't afford and we'll soon send rocket to Mars.

Do we need $2.6k foldable phone ? pizza delivery drones ? same day delivery ? slaves delivering food through apps like deliveroo ? Is that the best we can do with tech today ?
Or is it just enabling our mindless consume / produce cycle with no end goal ? For every meaningful tech advance we have 10 startups raising millions to press a fruit bag [0] or be a rental agency [1].
It's like a sad and lame black mirror episode.

The New Features and Changes with the LLVM Clang 8.0 Compiler Stack
I wasn't saying the study was wrong, it's more it doesn't matter if it is or not. Just try it yourself. Find a kid, give the child some candy, pop, or other high sugar thing and hang out with them for a few hours, then draw your own conclusion.

What does it matter what some study says when every kid i've ever seen get a bunch of sugar acts the same way? Studies mean nothing when you're with kids hyped up on sugar.

And honestly, I don't really eat sugar, when I have some pop or eat candy, I notice the way it makes me feel. It doesn't make me hyper, but it makes me antsy and twitchy.
Your first sentence, of course, is not true, but I agree with the rest. Backyard gardeners all over the US grow tomatoes. And some areas close where they are farmed have really good market or farmers-market tomatoes. The good ones just don't transport well.

Same for other fragile fruits like raspberries and strawberries. Alas, just because it says "strawberry" on the package doesn't mean it has any resemblance to the real thing.
Thunar and SpaceFM work pretty well for me. PCManFM is also another good option. They're all fairly light-weight.
My grandparents lived in the same location. I used to love hearing the F-16s sit at the end of the runway at full throttle and then release the brakes. That would also shake the whole house. As a kid it was amazing to experience.

> Is it because more and more areas of business activity are conquered by large entities and thus are hard to enter into?

Is that true though? Artisanal, craft, handmade, premium, bespoke, etc. of every kind of bullshit is booming. Etsy, indiegogo, kickstarter, eBay and whatever else is big business for small producers of gadgets, trinkets and everything cute, right?

That said, yes, Amazon and other forms online shopping, is pushing out small shops, but cafés are opening everywhere in cities. (Urban revival and whatnot.)

But ... without hard numbers there are just feely-goody impressions, so I have no hard belief about this, just trying to offer a coutnerpoint.
>> And similarly, even if we made vastly more complex systems that could create a passable replication of human behavior - I do not think there would, at any point, suddenly appear some entity within that machine suddenly imagining itself driving the deterministic decisions occurring within.

> So I code a fleshy looking automaton that it's indistinguishable for you from a human. Every action and communication is 100% convincing. Surely you feel some empathy towards it (since you are not able to tell) and you may even want it not to suffer. Does that change after I tell you what it "really is"? How about other people?

Your comment has nothing at all to do with the comment you quoted. Whether something is merely convincing to you or I is irrelevant–since it wouldn't actually be cognizant either way. The parent comment was discussing meta-cognition and the fact that even if you made a replica it wouldn't have meta-cognition like we do.
I'm trying to help my girlfriend manage the inventory for her cactus business. She raises cacti from seed, cuttings, but mostly from wholesale suppliers. She has a square account and store. I’m trying to set up inventory tracking for her. There are couple of things that make her business different than most inventory holding businesses.

1. Generally her inventory increases in value over time because it grows. Over time a plant will grow from a smaller pot to a larger pot, plants in large pots sell for more.
2. She wants to track which suppliers provide better quality plants (do the plants die quickly?). She also wants to track how fast different plants grow.

I could pretty easily write a django app that tracks this stuff.

Any recommendations for a platform I could build on top of (airtable? google forms+sheets?). Maybe some type of marketing automation platform.

Custom business apps are tricky. As a programmer it's easy to turn my nose up at excel based solutions, but I totally see how they end up being built.
Yes. It's not written in docs yet but any file or folder starting with _ (underscore) is not exposed publicly. This feature spec is still open for discussion as on how to tackle it the best.

For me XMonad+Gnome has worked pretty well. There's a nice PPA[1] that gives you most of what you need then you load the Gnome compatibility options[2] in XMonad config file and everything works. Well, there is one annoyance in that there's some sort of race condition and I have to restart xmonad after everything is up (alt-q by default) if I want windows to avoid the task bar like they should. But that only an extra second when I reboot.

Wages are not correlated to productivity in the slightest. Productivity simply establishes a floor on wage levels.

Add to that the costs of healthcare, which in the US tends to be tied to employment, and bingo. There's your answer. People have no money, nor no safety net if something goes wrong, so they stick to their garbage 9-5 instead of trying something new.
I think the second essential part of the GP's marker for intelligence is the ability to form sentences that convey information, and do it efficiently.

Ability at abstract reasoning is invisible to outsiders unless the bot can also transmit their information to others, as well as understand transmissions from others and react appropriately (constructively or entertainingly).

AFAIK, up to now, none of the measures of synthetic intelligence have tried to measure the flow of information from and into a bot -- its efficiency, coherence, or relevance. I think the rise of master aper bots like GPT-2 and Q&A bots like Watson that beautifully model syntax and rhythm yet no semantics may finally force this issue to the surface. To wit, information matters more than style.

Frankly, I welcome the arrival of bot overlords like these. Maybe they'll motivate us humans to pay more attention to the meat of what we hear, read, and say, and therein act less robotic ourselves.

Because we would usually expect employers to compete for workers up to the wage-level of marginal productivity. If you're underpaying your workers and we both have the same technology, I can lure them away by paying them more, until they start demanding wages higher than our tech can allow. To compete with me, you then have to raise wages too, and the market evens out at marginal wages equaling marginal productivity.

One of the Big Questions not covered by the article is: how competitive have labor markets been over time?
>Maybe that will happen before the middle class disappears completely.

I doubt it will. How much of human history even contained a 'middle class'? What tells us that it's anything more than just a blip on the radar and an odd one-off outlier?
