To find the answers to this you need to jump into the rabbit hole of corruption, low cost housing and zoning laws. Yes, people are greedy but then that is true for every single town in USA. It is only in SF bay area that housing is so expensive.

It is possible to build a high rise building but such a project needs to be approved by local town which they won't. They will put unreasonable restrictions in terms of parking spaces, open spaces etc. These laws prevent building anything bigger.

There is a deeper rot of corruption called "low cost housing". There are several organizations that will deliberately litigate any new project, run it into ground and once the developer has lost a lot of money they will buy it cheap for so called low cost housing. To give a real world example a laundramat owner in SF who made ton of profit had pity on the housing need of the city and out of his good heart decided to demolish the laundramat and build housing instead. He has been harassed, the corrupt city admin declared his building historic monument in order to prevent him from redoing it. All the while he lost money and paid property taxes. [1]

As of today it takes around 2 years to get all the necessary permissions for any kind of construction project. Most developers have turned their back on the city. See this interview with one of the builders. [2]

Third part is large empty patches of land that are for some reason not being brought under development. Look at google maps and you will notice there is plenty of land in Fremont, Santa Cruz mountains, Palo alto etc. where mountains can be demolished, new housing units created. But wont happen because of over zealus environmentalists.

> Full GC. If nothing helped, for example, when Degenerated GC had not freed up enough memory, Full GC cycle would happen, and compact the heap to the max. Certain scenarios, like the unusually fragmented heap coupled with implementation performance bugs and overlooks, would be fixed only by Full GC. This last-ditch GC guarantees that application would not fail with OOM, if there is at least some memory is available.

> Usual latency induced: >100 ms, but can be more, especially on a very occupied heap

Seems like it confirms precisely what I wrote? You can get longer pauses the less memory you have left, i.e. the more of the heap you've used...

When they say agnostic it will mean proposing and implementing web standards that they push through and other browsers dont support yet and have to catch up on - look at all the browser extensions they came up at light speed. Like WebUSB, not to say that they had very serious security flaws also.

Google uses open standards and business practices to appear like the good guys, but make no mistake they are abusing their market power.

> Java on the web is dead,

>> I don't think you have any idea about the hundreds of millions of lines of Java that power the web as you know it today.

Presumably they meant Java in the client, not the server.
According to the labor theory of value:

When an individual negotiates and works for a company, they make the company X$/yr. And they only pay the person YX$/yr where Y is a value from 0-.99 . That's because the company relies on this imbalance across its workforce to extract money from employees' labor. Your value may be X$/yr, but you are compensated for .2X$/yr . The .8X/yr goes to the company as their profit.

In unions, the workers align themselves together in order to exert more fair (read YX$/yr where Y is closer to 1) wages. They do this because, as a group, they can effectively strike and threaten to cut the life-blood (extracted labor value) from the company for a time. In the end, the company still retains a significant amount of percentage from laborers and maintains the bulk of the money. And since there is still a monied interests vs workers condition going on, propaganda and laws can be affected by the owner class to disenfranchise the laborers. Example: look where the US is now, with anti-union, anti-worker, and "right to work" laws.

In a worker owned cooperative, the labor value is closer even than that of a union/company. There still exists a need to keep the organization going on (maintenance, upkeep, hiring), however the aforementioned strife is combined into the same group of people. And when profit is paid out, it is paid to the very people who worked for it. In other words, the labor theory of value approaches 1 under worker owned cooperatives. We have organizations like Mondragon to look at how they implemented this.
That number also strikes me as odd; it's improbably high. They're most likely referring to removing shares/links to the video, not re-uploads.
How to master new skills with ‘deliberate practice’
Im loving it, i analyze and fix issues across a lot of platforms and languages and for me java is probably the least troublesome of them all. you will see a lot of good practices and standards established that when trouble hits which i find rarer in java its usally also easy to deal with. Not gonna mention other names but i find the practices and maturity of a lot of more hip languages lacking a lot still.
Yes exactly, the NZ ISPs decided unilaterally to ban access to places that were hosting the snuff film within hours of the terrorist attack, this wasn't a government action.

If other sites are co-located with the places carrying the snuff film then they're IMHO shit out of luck, it's the company that you keep that we know you by.
My assumption is that people will use this one for a bit and then install something else. There are just about 200 of them so it shouldn't be long until one sees all of them. However, if one learns about 2 or 3 biases they were not aware of, I'll be happy. The primary goal behind this was to work with my wife on it and we had a great time. The reaction we had from everyone was just amazing and we'll look into building more fun things like this.
Battle tested and tooling really aren't compelling arguments anymore, Java is very middle of the pack in both regards. Go is running as the basis of the next generation infrastructure in Kubernetes, Prometheus, Docker, Terraform... Elixir has revived Erlang, which now has great tooling in mix and is well known for being highly reliable. Go, Javascript, and Rust all have real package managers (even Go with mod) that are bundled with the language and come with auto formatters, vetting tools, etc.

Also, funcitonal programming is a style of programming, not a collection of features. Just because you have a map and sort method and a hacked in lambda syntax doesn't make Java anything less than OO. Multi-Paradigm usually means one paradigm with a bunch of extra crap in there to make bike shedding easier.
Devin Nunes’ ludicrous $250M lawsuit against Twitter, explained
Oh yeah Larry will be waiting by the phone; I'll understand if he has to land his S.211 first. This is all fake anyway. None of these big corporate lawsuits are about justice or truth. We copyrighted an API that someone else wrote before they went out of business and we bought the remains, even though there was never an actual copyright notice and after all it's a blooming API? Give me a break. Those brilliant analytical lawyers were too busy pulling everyone's legs (not the jury's!) to dig up any more alleged profits... Oracle don't actually care if the lawsuit ever ends.
Yes, yes, ban more groups (including flat earth, climate denial and anti-vaxxers) while also killing the filter bubbles and no.

I've said before and I'll say it again, we wouldn't be in this mess if we had a decent standard library and language to begin with.
No feature is meant to be in a release. A feature will be done when it’s done, though features may be split so that some functionality can land earlier.

To be fair, Pixelfed is in its early shoes. I know it from a "alternatives to Facebook etc." list but it still has to gain some traction mike Mastodon. However - and that's the problem - as long as you build an ethical service you probably won't reach the masses, because non-ethical platforms will always outperform you, and if it's just by how much they spend on marketing.
Also those companies building those applications with open source for end users are reaping near limitless value.
As I mentioned in the other post, the curiosity bots can help with this.

They're rewarded by exploring, not by values in game.

Maybe alone they're not enough, but in conjunction with other things, I bet we could beat Zelda. I had the bot exploring enough to find the first dungeon of LoZ.
Just curious - why use a percent fee rather than a flat fee?
"Today, it’s nearly impossible to build for the web without using a bundler like Webpack."

> In the first 24 hours, we removed about 1.5 million videos of the attack globally. More than 1.2 million of those videos were blocked at upload, and were therefore prevented from being seen on our services.

Would this be bots uploading the video or are there 1.5 million individuals trying to re-upload the video to FB? If so are they also having their accounts banned for praising / supporting terror attacks?
Google could show ads during the lags - that might help increase revenue numbers.
The ability to somehow acquire the source is one of the requirements, but from the making money PoV it is not that significant.

What is significant for this discussion is that another GPL requirement is that whoever you distribute software to is permitted to redistribute however they see fit.
There is no sense in renting them as well, I rent a 1.6 million dollar house for $4200/month. Of course, the owner bought it for way less, but I would rather sell, take the money and invest it elsewhere and get a better return.

I don’t think it’s fair to say we “need” these non-OSS licenses as they exist.

People are free to use them for their projects. More power to them.

Assuming that all OSS projects are exploited or missing out is wrong.

The reason apl/mit are so popular is because they encourage use. I suspect that projects that try to use common core or whatnot will not meet with success because of the limitations of those licenses. Although I’ll be happy to be proven wrong.
It sounds like they didn't respond to the reports on the original video at all:

> We removed the attacker’s video within minutes of [the New Zealand Police's] outreach to us.

They don't say how long it was until NZ police contacted them though, it could have been right after the reports came though.
Arbitrary precision doesn't help with irrational numbers.

You may be thinking of the "just use enough bits so you're sure the accumulated error isn't significant" approach, which is essentially what modern floating-point attempts to do.

There are still some pitfalls though, around doing an analysis that proves the bounds of said error in a given algorithm and data set.

You might be interested in the concepts used in interval arithmetic [1] and specifically the work of Gustafson in designing some models for using those in scientific computing hardware.

Are cotton totes better for the Earth than plastic bags? (2018)
If you took an iOS or Android device back to 1993 with no internet, it would have a camera, photo editing capabilities, text editing (desktop publishing, with the right software), music synthesis and editing, a rich game platform, a guitar tuner, a music player, and so on. In short, everything we used computers for back then and more, since phones are just mini-computers combined with cameras. That web browsing is available on top of all that local functionality, and is the most popular, shows why people use our phones 24/7.

But I’m not sure how this is related to a desktop OS in 2019 that can’t access the internet. Sure, a modern GNU/Linux desktop system would have been amazing in 1993 with no internet too.
Touché. I've had a few messages asking for Firefox and Safari versions and we'll work on them as soon as we can.
Boeing faces a ' serious' criminal probe – Here's what to expect
So far I did not find anything comparable to replace Java for website server language. Go is a terrible extremely verbose language without vital features. JavaScript on Node is limited by single-thread and JavaScript itself is a terrible language (along with other dynamic languages like PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby). Rust is awesome, but I don't think that it'll be ever usable for mediocre developers, therefore it can't be a safe choice for ordinary project.

The only reasonable alternative is C#. But it has to go a long way to reach Java's level of stability and trust on non-Windows servers.

Your link tells of Ingo Swann's pivotal role in the remote viewing program

About 10 years ago came across research papers (not via Blavatsky) on an old mind-altering Buddhist copper wall setup which involved a wooden chair oriented towards magnetic north placed over a thick panel of glass with a sheet of copper suspended vertically in front of a sitter with a 50 gauss magnet (N up) suspended by cord over the sitter's head. Colleagues with an interest in this subject pointed me in the direction of Ingo Swann, Elmer Green, with the Monroe Institute as a possible source of information. Via an email exchange with Ingo Swann and later with his ameneusis Tom Burgin it turned out that Swann had a copper wall setup in his flat which he found useful in meditation. Elmer Green, on the other hand, decided to construct an entire room with copper walls and ceiling emulating the original idea, which Swann (and others) commented drove them into overload. OK, Faraday-cage format out. What about emulating a pair of facing mirrors with two copper sheets, one in front and one behind the sitter? May act as an amplifier. Figuring this was an obvious experimental configuration decided to contact Skip Atwater over at the Monroe Institute:

was planning on experimenting with a classic 'copper wall' setting. If you are not familiar with this set up, essentially an individual is seated upright in a wooden chair placed over a panel of thick glass situated between 2 large vertical facing Cu panels affixed to parallel walls, and a 15 to 150 gauss magnet (North up) is suspended by an insulated cord above the subject and brought to within a centimeter of the crown of the head. (cf Elmer Green's work). I would imagine that you have worked with this configuration and am curious whether you have such a sensory amplification chamber which is available for monitored use.

response:

Yes, I am familiar with Elmer's work and years ago I was in Kansas an actually saw the copper wall setup. His work has never been replicated but as I know of his work for years, I believe it remains as an important finding. He also knew Bob Monroe personally.

We have not experimented with the "copper wall" setup. I would think that such experimentation would be valuable, however. Please keep good record and let us know how things go for your work.

Skip Atwater

results: overload. Stick with the original configuration if you want to experiment. :-(

BUT, this is HN not a Psychic Times :-) so stick to a data suggests motif if you feel like commenting and data-mine away :-)

Going on a worldwide crusade to remove the video from everywhere possible seems rather heavy-handed for a nation-specific law. The response from FB and other groups to this video specifically has been very strange.
Facebook built a monster it cannot control.

Their monster is out of the cage and it's making frightening changes to society, rapidly and globally.

I have an extremely strong bias in favor of free expression, but Facebook altered the playing field.

Do we really want ISIS beheading videos and terrorist recruitment to circulate freely, amplified and accelerated by Facebook's social graph? [0]

Do we really want disinformation fanned out instantly to friends of friends that incites mob violence? [1]

No, I don't want to live in a world where a faceless ML automatically censors everything I do. But if that's the only way to control the monster Facebook created, then maybe it's better to switch off the monster entirely.

Show HN: Cliperado – Automatically take screenshots of your whole service
Cliperado (https://cliperado.com) is an online tool to automatically take screenshots of your service and keep the shots up-to-date in your help guides.

The idea for Cliperado came when we were creating visual step by step guides, to reduce our support volume, for an other service. We needed about 200 clips for each language. It took so much time to create just a few. I was pulling my hair out. Especially with the thought of having to check all the clips for changes in a month from now, manually.

You’ve probably seen a few online tutorials with outdated and confusing screenshots. You probably have a some outdated screenshot in your own manuals. I get that, it is just too much work to keep these updated manually.

So we created Cliperado, to automate this.

How Cliperado works. Cliperado takes full page retina screenshots of your online service. It can take screenshots of pages behind a login screen as well, by filling out forms, clicking on buttons or hover over menus, etc , etc. You can crop a screenshot, add arrows or highlights, to create clips for step-by-step guides. Cliperado hosts these clips online.

You can schedule Cliperado to refresh the screenshots weekly. Changed screenshots are highlighted in the visual sitemap, so you don’t have to hunt down changes. When you expect a screenshot to change with every refresh, you can mask certain areas, to exclude these from comparison.

We hope you want to give Cliperado a try. We are looking forward to your feedback.

There are videos of mass executions (similar to this, in that the guns are used) recorded by the perps. I mean yeah, shooting people is horrible, but it's pretty tame to what other stuff is out there, that I've seen and just couldn't finish watching. And I'm pretty desensitized by now. I've seen some Shabiha torture videos, and those are much much worse on the emotions.
