Ramooflax – Single OS Hypervisor to Analyze/Debug/Control OS/Software/BIOS
I personally really enjoy Gamelin and Green's Topology, and (if you need it) the first chapter goes through topology of metric spaces. The rest of the book is well written; I couldn't quite find myself to like Munkres.
Does the default MaxMind GeoIP provide isProxy: false, isTorNode: false, isSpam: false, isSuspicious: false though?
It is fundamentally different in numerous ways. Being in debt in the western world does not mean you are officially prohibited from certain forms of travel, for starters. Another huge difference is that China's system is based on factors other than financial dealings such as anti-government views. It is a much stricter, less fair, more authoritarian system in nearly every aspect. I find your whataboutism to be highly suspicious.
If Dwarf Fortress sells millions on Steam, its creators will give the money away
Cycling heaven is The Hague, Netherlands, not a city where people are unable to afford the purchase and operating cost of a 15 year old Toyota Corolla.
Excerpt:

"Ramooflax aims at analyzing/debugging/controlling modern operating systems and complex software pieces as well as real life BIOS running on a physical machine. Ramooflax provides a small hypervisor and a remote client allowing high-level access to the features implemented into the hypervisor."
I was wondering about how prevalent this is - I've never had a car emissions-tested - and it looks like 31 states + DC have emissions testing in at least some part of the state [0]. Just glancing over this list, it looks like several states only test in metro areas, or otherwise have exceptions; even California has counties which do not test for emissions.

Specifically, it looks like several states exempt from testing cars from the mid 90s and older. Lots of those still on the road.

Price caps play a role, but rationing plays an even bigger role. Google search for the McKinsey paper on US healthcare costs. The volume of outpatient procedures in the US is quite shocking compared to other countries.

Yes, things cost more in the US, but the volume is also quite a lot higher.

Ask HN: Why do companies use Taleo for hiring?
No offence to the good people of Taleo is meant, but the candidate system TOTALLY SUCKS. The UX for sign up, login, upload, is so much worse than say, applying to jobs on Stack Overflow.

Why do people use it?

Sure, it’s a way for proprietary software authors to deduplicate efforts and share IP, one they tend to prefer over paying vendors who are trying to extract their own rents, and one they can pull off because they are already competent to write and operate their own software. In an alternative history, the tech community would all be paying small fees to license each other’s patents. What open source is is closer to what the patent system was supposed to be, than some kind of end-user empowerment revolution.

That's why they say land is an investment and appreciates; houses depreciate. Bet the land in those remote areas is still worth the small value they paid for it while the houses are losing value by the minute.
Ev Williams is my founder hero. People often sweat about having a cool idea or atleast great tech before they do startups. Not Ev Williams. He has created startups after startups that has no real novelty, has no technology challenges and even doesn't target any real problem that world has. Still, his startups eats of millions of dollars in investment while having tiny little teams and finally gets sold or even IPOed for billions of dollars in windfall. I wager that if anyone else appeared at any of the VC with ideas of his startups, they would have been laughed off out the building. The amazing part is that he stays low most of the time, avoids any self-PR and still manages to mobilize massive public attention to his startups. That one is his single most important skill that none of the other founders can even come close.
That’s theoretically possible now if not actually implemented already. AMP in the email isn’t going to automatically make this possible. The SWA devs and the Delta devs and the AA devs and the Alaska devs and the Northwest devs, ad naseum are all going to poorly implement their version just as poorly as their REST version (if they have one). The implementation mechanism isn’t really going to improve the experience. It will just be something different that is broken or slow.
It occurs to me just how much the US has poisoned its citizens against a national medicare type system.

You know - no one in the UK even thinks - "Well I am paying more in taxes to treat old people", we all realise that at some point we will all be there and not having to worry about it or maintaining it or being excluded from something certainly makes everything a whole lot less stressful!

Likewise I don't even think about how much I am paying for Midwifery, Anti Natal, Pediatric services etc - I understand that different people have different needs and that everyone should get a fair shot at getting what they need.
I’ve also been reading about persistence more in the Edelsbrunner and Harer Computational Toplogy text, but glancing at this book on page 104 I see good examples and intuitive build up.

I found this overview I liked for persistence in ML

I’ve never lived in a city where the local broadband option was worse than, for example, the public transit. Comcast isn’t great in Baltimore, but the local government is like a third world country’s.

I agree completely - there are FOSS licenses that are easier to make money with than others. One of the most frustrating things I regularly encounter on HN is the “MIT/BSD is best, don’t use anything else” mentality. I think some of that is likely coming from the ease of use commercially (I worked for organisation who’s legal department literally said MIT/BSD = green, GPL2 = yellow, others = red).

But as you have yourself pointed out, it is (or at least may be) possible to make money as a commercial entity whilst still using a FOSS license, without entering the netherworld of “what is commercial use” arguments that these bespoke licenses create.

P.S. I know CKEditor very well, having used its predecessor FCKEditor on a small website for a local charity over 15 years ago! So thank you for continuing to support FOSS :)
800 sq ft? It's not super small, but the average size of a 2 bedroom apartment in the US.

Personally, have the extra space is nice up to a point. I'd say 1200 sq ft is good for a family of 3. Can you make it work with less? Of course, but the extra space has a lot of utility.
China used to be the bicycle kingdom before its economic opening. It wasn’t even that long ago, 1999 when I first visited still had the sea of bicycle commute going on in Beijing.
No, because you have to do things that allow AMP caching. There is implicit approval and even request.
I think it's fair to look inward at similar issues in our society. No it's not the same, but social trust systems and Scarlett letters are big in the USA. They can be very hard to recover from, their pervasiveness, and impact have only grown. You do not want to be on the list of undesirables. Not in the same ballpark though.
I don't understand the 40 seconds idea at all. It seems like you can maintain control of the aircraft indefinitely as long as you use the trim switches on the control column to counter the MCAS movement while you diagnose the issue and eventually disable the trim motor.

A claim that they had only 40 seconds to react can't also be true. It's one or the other.
Again, there is no one "system". The system discussed here, 失信人名单, has nothing to do with social networks, it's operated by the courts.

The video discussed below goes into this in detail, discussing what does exist, what experiments there are, and where the researcher thinks China is heading.

Deploying Deep Learning Models Using Kubeflow on Azure
Monopoly franchises have been illegal under federal law since 1993. Most places are de facto monopolies because nobody wants to compete with the incumbent. (Largely because the municipality won’t let them compete just in the areas that can profitably support competition. For example, that’s why Baltimore doesn’t have FiOS, whereas all the places around it do. The folks in the city government decided if the vast swaths of the city below the poverty line wouldn’t get $70/month fiber, nobody should be able to.)

It's hardly surprising. The quality of their public products isn't much better than what's described here. It's fine for companies with plenty of engineers, money, and time to base their tools off of, but that's about it. Without building a ton of extra tooling and having specialized information only available through paid support, it's almost impossible to operate anything on aws. The documentation is plentiful, mostly out of date, wrong, incomplete, and difficult to browse, search, and use. Doing devops using aws is a nightmare that never ends. Not to mention the speed of deploying anything is beyond slow, so any work takes many times the amount of time it should. For large companies with plenty of resources, these are minor points. For small and medium sized ones, it's a loss of productivity and money that simply cannot be justified over other methods.
The secular version of those "natural rights" is probably that they're ideas that are baked into most peoples' sense of morality by evolution.
The patent office has been granting technology patents for non-novel things for ages, sadly. There does not appear to be any fix for it, as it even ensnares one of the world’s richest companies. Presumably there would need to be consequences to the government for granting non-novel patents, and there appear to be none.

It had some cheese included which definitely helped. I was comparing it to frozen schnitzel or other processed chicken (nuggets), which I usually don't choose to eat these days but I've had plenty over the years.

I'm not at all convinced it's healthier either given the length of the ingredient list, but I'll leave that to the experts.

I know people working on this, I don’t think they launched yet but yes it is relatively easier eg compared to filecoin which has harder requirements than just a cache, but its not trivial and the business model is not trivial either.

What does physical proximity have to do with anything?

McDonalds does $20B+ in revenues, has 210k direct employees and 1.9M when you include franchises. At this scale, the only people that need to interface is senior management.
This is why I have reservations about following online trends. It is only part of the picture of what is really going on. There is a silent (silent online) number of people who are just getting on with it quietly as you put it.
You say that, but that makes little difference to the person that can't get a job, rent an apartment, or drive. Background checks are ubiquitous in the USA. This is relatively new, to the point where a recently departed colleague was shocked. He hadn't changed jobs for 15 years... That's not a crazy long time.
Maybe this is the next DBMS they're working on?

Google CEO to meet with US military to discuss company AI efforts in China
Haha yeah. Camping was old hat to me when I went in the Marines. None of that stuff surprised me. One brutally cold night outside of Victorville we were supposed to dig in fighting holes but the ground was solid and nobody got more than a few inches deep despite hacking at it all day. We were going to be there all night.

Next to me was a big pile of wood chips for some reason. Knowing this would keep me warm and off of the ground, I lined my hole with a few inches of chips, training be damned. I was sleeping soundly (and warmly) when the company was roused at 0300 to go back to base. Nobody else slept a wink except those close enough to me to be warned. Basically, the CO got cold so we went home.

lol. I learned that survival training in the Scouts. Good times.
"difficult to believe" leads you to your own conclusion rather than researching on how it works...that's how internet works, sadly
> A 5g tower is like a WiFi hotspot with maybe 2-3x the range. Any factors that apply to traditional home internet will apply to 5g as well because it needs the same internet access as your home WiFi hotspot.

It’s more than that, but even there you’re talking about covering 9 houses for the cost of wiring up one. The fan-out math kills you for FTTH.
> The amazing part is that he stays low most of the time, avoids any self-PR and still manages to mobilize massive public attention to his startups.

So how does he do that? This is obviously a billion dollar skill.
Also sadly, some of those same companies seem to be enabling this shaming culture. (Twitter banning random users for just using the LearnToCode hashtag, while not banning journalists who called for the doxxing and harassment of a minor. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAIP6fI0NAI )

Rationing also makes some outcomes summarily worse.

If you have a relatively minor problem, you're put in a line. For months (or years) of waiting, your problem becomes worse, and when you finally get to be treated, the treatment is much costlier and less effective.

This is to say nothing about your actual suffering from the problem, and from knowing that it's deliberately not being treated.
Having a copy of the anarchist / jolly roger cookbook would have you serving jail time in 2019.

Because the buying decisions are made by executives who get their backs scratched in several different ways, if you know what I mean.
It's the public's money, since the only reason that the investors have that money is they are given patent monopolies that allow them to take in 1.5% of GDP in rents every year.

It also allows for even more invasions of user privacy. We’re already tracked like tagged coyotes, so where does it stop? Obviously, not when users say so, because we can’t afford the lobbyists and lawyers that industry can.

So now we just have to lie back and think of profits?
The hassle of dealing with traffic has always prevented me from cycling to more places. A city with little motor traffic would be an absolutely amazing place for cycling everywhere!
Yeah, I’m living in my dream house but it cost me less than $500k. When I saw the first example was a $3.5 million home I stopped reading. It’s simple to spot people overbuying (read: guessing wrong). There are lots of people living in their dream homes they’re just not living in multi-million dollar homes.

What is the issue with games?
Just some perspective. I know this is not what you wrote, and probably not what you meant, but what I was thinking when reading your comment was "Car owners are extravagant. I spend a lot on my bike and still spend so much less money than them. Maybe if we suspended licenses some would get a clue."

I'm probably not alone in reading it that way, and I'd say many of us would be offended.
A better way is to wave your hand in-front of them. It is a visual clue and as long as it in their view it allows them to finish without the monitor being blocked. I like it but that is my two cents.
I think there are 3 wars that overlap but not fully.

(1) Pragmatic debates about the usefulness of copyleft vs. BSD/X11/MIT/etc. in various situations (and for various goals), (2) a (tribal, and mostly imaginary?) "business vs. hackers" narrative, and (3) RMS vs. everyone else.

OSI itself doesn't figure prominently in how I think of open source. I realize Open Source^tm is something that OSI legally defines, but going all the way back to the endless Usenet arguments in the '90s, the "open source vs. free software" conflict was never really about OSI vs. the FSF (IMO). It was more about accepting a multitude of licenses as acceptable alternatives, vs. adherence to the strictest and most complicated one (plus accepting Richard Matthew Stallman as your personal lord and savior).

It also felt like "open source" meant promoting a bunch of things as a common good, but "free software" meant promoting something very specific as good, and calling out a bunch of other things as evil. It's like working for a charity vs. being in someone's army. I wonder how much this contributes to which side is more appealing to someone, based on their values and personality.

Maybe this has become way more convoluted since the '90s, but I always considered open source to be a superset of free software. All GPL'd software is open source, but not all open source software is GPL'd. It's less of an "x vs. y" conflict, and more of a "(x, y, or z) vs. x" conflict, with a bunch of cultural and personal baggage tacked on to it.

agreed. i had it in mind the person was a math major. although i think topology is approachable without analysis with some dedication, it certainly helps provide context for the abstraction.

i listed another nice book in another comment, but metric spaces: iteration and application by victor bryant is a pretty fun introduction to metric spaces and analysis at a very approachable level.

I’m thought this article was going to be about McMansions losing value over time, but just seemed like an opinion piece with a couple of anecdotes about elderly people having problems selling very expensive estates.

Here’s an article about McMansion depreciation: https://www.fa-mag.com/news/mcmansions-define-ugly-in-a-new-...

What’s interesting is that the valuations mentioned for McMansions are... like an order of magnitude cheaper then the multimillion dollar estates mentioned in this piece.

So... I looked for the WSJ article this was really a response to: https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-growing-problem-in-real-estat...

What is actually concerning was this statement:

> Boomers currently own 32 million homes and account for two out of five homeowners in the country.

So... given that boomers are less than 10% of the population but are 40% of the homeowners, I suspect there will be a strong downward pressure long term, since, well, all these boomers are probably in their home before “the home”.
