If you think agreeing to appear in a video with a white supremacist and joking about his "kek" statue doesn't paint at least part of a picture

"Paint part of a picture," Is just another way of saying "Narrative."

To me, it's more telling that your best, leading example of a place where the media got its facts wrong is Shiva Ayyadurai is also telling

So it doesn't matter that they got the facts wrong, because the people they are getting the facts wrong about are "bad" people. Sorry, but that's morally bankrupt. That's the classic moral stance to justify propaganda. Who in the past took actions against people they thought were generally bad, facts be damned? You appear to be in an epistemological calamity. You seem to be trapped in a bubble, where proof invalidating the bubble is sequestered through unsupported narratives.

also paints part of a picture (not one I've described on the thread so far, just to be clear)

So then you threaten to tar me by association as well? Again, it's this pushing of a narrative with no proof.

(Just to be clear, all identitarians are in the wrong. All politics by violence is bad. All politics by intimidation is equally bad, as is disdain for facts and the truth.)
It's not a funny joke.
You talk as if AI is something a person can "make" in their garage. I don't buy this for a minute. You can argue the exact same thing about, say, nuclear weapons. But people making nukes in their garage is not a real problem because such a complex project with a lot of niche resources is not attainable in a garage. Curiosity doesn't mean anything if you need decades of mathematics, CS, statistics and neuroscience research as well as thousands of human hours of programming to achieve something.

The user experience associated with using DVDs, while having improved ever-so-slightly with Blu-Ray, is still comically bad.

It's slow, and there's all kinds of shit that has to be skipped, if it can be skipped. And then there's the high likelihood of scratches given enough time.

That the manufacturers of DVDs have not made it possible to play the main content immediately, as it is (usually) with streaming, is a signal to me that they are not taking the future of the medium seriously.

Yes, it's possible to work around with VLC player, etc. but that is not helpful for most commercial hardware and for most people.

Ironically, we see some streaming platforms, like Amazon Fire for example, adding shit at the beginning that's un-skippable.

That and commercials are dealbreakers for me. Makes it easy to choose my streaming platforms.
Despite a lot of insistent critics that say otherwise, I believe that one of the world’s richest companies can walk and chew gum at the same time - or just pay someone else to do it. It’s not really an issue of resource constraints; the work could easily happen in parallel.

I just wish someone at Apple cared enough about unfucking web authentication.
A lie. I think it's an outright lie. The SSA passed in 1983 has proven that point, has it not?
I'm not keen on how most professional photographers for these events don't point out they'll retain copyright on all shots. I know what that means, but they let their customers find out when they aren't allowed to get raw/negatives or prints from anyone else.

I'll take a work for hire option, thanks, without the attitude that it's an art and they're above that.
Why does it matter, blind people cant see.
It further entrenches Facebook and Google's monopoly on adtech and solves nothing against the companies that people worry about most (and ironically give up the most data too). It also does nothing to stop the wild-west of mobile app tracking.

The ideal solution would be to offer up the device's Advertising ID to the browser, just like it is available to mobile apps. That would remove all the tracking pixels and workarounds and improve privacy as the user can easily reset their ID whenever they want to.
> The check on charter schools is that if they provide a bad education, the students will leave.

It sound estrange for me. But, I think that you are right that this is the intention.

Are the kids responsibility to evaluate the validity of the education system? Aren't they just kids that are in school to learn the most basic stuff?

There is a reason why kids are not legally adults. And it is their lack of maturity and experience to take decisions.

> If they create a bad working environment for teachers, the teachers will leave. The latter actually seems to have checked the subject of the article effectively: teacher turnover was high, and the teachers profiled here both ultimately did leave.

It is interesting that the adults where the ones actually leaving.
I've been on sabbatical for a while but a while back it was pretty much C, C or C.
Traditional OpenGL is not useful except as a history lesson. It will give you bad practices when you then try and use a newer API (not even counting DX12/Vulkan; the bad practices will stick with you even if you try to just use DX11/modern OpenGL). WebGL is a pared down version of GLES, which is still not perfect, but a big step in the right direction.

I wish there was a better cross-platform intermediate graphics API; Vulkan has a lot of challenges. Metal is very close but it's Apple-specific. Dawn/WebGPU/wgpu seems to be a nice fit in the middle, but it's still in development.
1TB a month is considered a lot?

That’s only around 34GB per day..
Since when are apps allowed hn accounts?
I agree.

I bought a lot of Blu-rays (obsessed with "owning" the good movies which I then rip - I extract the original streams without reencoding and then I put the files on my mediaserver) and the biggest 1080p-file I have is the one of "Interstellar" being 39GB (original video and original 3 audio tracks and some subtitles), followed by "the dark knight rises" of 35GBs and otherwise all the rest is between 10-30GBs depending on the movie.

Usually when I play a movie in the living room I see spikes of 2.5MB/s transferred data on the mediaservers, and this is original content ripped 1:1.
Please define "this" -I made several statements. I don't really care what wikipedia says about much of anything.

Finding that balance in technology use is far more elusive than what the author makes it seem. What about kids and teenagers who very little self control and awareness to keep things in balance.
Oh, definitely don't disagree with you there (PG's article about the "Blub" language is one of my favorites); I definitely think that Haskell is one of the least-bad languages out there overall.

I will say that personally I have become somewhat enamored with Idris, but I think that most of the people that work on it claim that it is not production ready, and I've not used it for anything but personal projects. Still, I love that it gives me everything that I like about Haskell, and it's young enough to not have many of the drawbacks, at least not yet.
Thanks Tesla! Let the haters hate!
A lot of people still do not have access to high speed internet in the US.
I would expect city-wide storage to be cheaper. The electricity I use on a day-to-day basis changes (ex: Dishwasher, Cooking, Laundry). Average it out across a neighborhood, or city, and things become far more consistent.

A typical electric dryer is 3000 Watts. If you do 2-hours of laundry one night, you'll need 6kWhr storage JUST for drying (not even laundry) !! You might typically need 15 kW of storage per day, but you'll need 20kW or maybe even 30kW of storage to be comfortable and cover all possible use cases.

A city can take advantage of this in several ways. City-scale can allocate the average 15kW-hrs of storage needed for a typical night, and then maybe 2.5kW-hrs of "non-typical" storage that's shared between the whole neighborhood. Across 100-households, this +2.5kWhr "excess" can be allocated to ~40 households... and each of those 40 households can go +6kW-hrs above typical (ie: decide to do laundry that night).

-------------

Some things will scale better on a per-house level. Air conditioning is almost certainly better per-house, because its somethings the whole neighborhood needs at the same time. But there are better technologies out there than Li-Ion batteries, such as Ice-Bear's thermal energy storage. (https://www.ice-energy.com/)

Store 50F water during the night inside of a highly insulated tank. Blow cold-air (from the 50F tank) to cool the house during the day. Modern insulation can keep a tank of water cold for many, many days, and water is about as cheap of a "energy storage" mechanism as you can get.

This "demand-shift" technology is best served by a smart-grid: if the city can provide a floating-cost of electricity, and also inform appliances that the cost of electricity is changing... then those appliances (ie: Air Conditioners) can turn on when the price of electricity is cheapest.
Clickbait title, no extensions are "killed".
Do you posit that the presence of a story on the front-page implies that every single HN user is expected to comment? Personally I don't buy that. Hell, I don't even think "presence on the front page" implies that all, or even most, HN users will even read the link. But, who knows... maybe I'm wrong.
> If a man sees a river run downhill day after day and year after year, he is justified in reckoning, we might say in betting, that it will do so till he dies. But he is not justified in saying that it cannot run uphill, until he really knows why it runs downhill. To say it does so by gravitation answers the physical but not the philosophical question. It only repeats that there is a repetition; it does not touch the deeper question of whether that repetition could be altered by anything outside it. And that depends on whether there <is> anything outside it. For instance, suppose that a man had only seen the river in a dream. He might have seen it in a hundred dreams, always repeating itself and always running downhill. But that would not prevent the hundredth dream being different and the river climbing the mountain; because the dream is a dream, and there <is> something outside it.

its funny how other members upvote the comment that contains a fact from a CBP website and HN mods
come in and downvote it. Dear liberal SV people, facts don't disappear just because you downplay them, ask your favorite Hillary:)

I mean, it's got 4 pages of instructions for whether you should file it at all, and if so where to send it. It's got a third of a page for what to put in the "name and address" fields. It's got half a page for what to put in the "SSN" field. A bunch of that deals with edge cases that are not relevant to most people, who don't even read this part of the instructions and just write down their name, address, and SSN.

8 pages of EIC credit table. 10 pages of tax table. Longish, but pretty simple.

Now there are in fact things in there that are not simple. Filing status is usually simple, unless you try to figure out "head of household", in which case it's not. But in general, the 1040 is quite simple as tax forms go, and the instructions are mostly long because they are written out with a lot of detail and to be easy to follow, and have to cover various edge cases.
I'm really surprised at the amount of people defending the actions of ICE and Motel 6 in this instance. ICE has clearly demonstrated tactics that are anti-immigrant (legal or otherwise).

How quick some are to forget the importance of immigration in the startup community!

As someone who practices and encourages others to employ formal methods in software development, I'm disappointed to read a post that claims FP has some significant effect on correctness. This has not been established, and does not at all appear to be the case. There are many aspects, including techniques and tools, that can positively affect program correctness. The choice of a programming language or even a paradigm is not high on the list if it is on it at all. Not only does the little data we have not substantiate the hypothesis that FP has a significant positive effect on correctness, there are even significantly fewer anecdotal reports supporting that hypothesis than other, apparently more effective techniques. In short, any connection between FP and correctness is, at this point in time, nothing more than wishful thinking, and the efforts of those who really care about correctness are better spent elsewhere (i.e. not on picking a new language).
If a cop walks up to you, and says: "You're going to jail, unless you kill Bob," that's one thing.

If a cop walks up to you, and says: "Could you do me a favor, and kill Bob for me?" - that's an entirely different thing.

Motel 6 was not coerced into breaking the law. It voluntarily broke the law.
The first sale doctrine protects this business model so even if all studios stop all rental contracts with you, you can still legally purchase retail discs and rent those out. Unfortunately there is no such thing for streaming.
Anyone know of any ASCII city planning games in the spirit of dwarf fortress?
This sparked a memory of the LS-240 SuperDisk drives that could format a 1.44 MB floppy to hold 32 MB. Of course only usable on an LS-240 drive, and the entire disk had to be re-written any time a change was made.

Agree. It's just basic micro vs macro. If you've played any video game competitively you would know the difference.
It's in the damn name. Immigration enforcement. We have a legal immigration process in this country, many try to come here illegally. Without a border, you have no country.
Yes, that was another solution we considered but we needed to deploy a patch quickly and setting the timer resolution was considered less risky and faster to do. But it would have worked as well as it should wake up the waiting thread immediately when used with WaitForMultipleObjectsEx.
There are a lot pronouns used in this article referring to a "permission". What permission are they referring to? I pushed out an update to a Chrome extension a few days ago and it was live in a matter of hours. Is there some specific permission that triggers this review?
Collective bargaining will never happen, but outlawing overtime will?
The sheer quantity of shots changes everything. Back in the day of film, a pro could burn a roll of film for a single usable shot (maybe). An amateur had development and printing combined (expensive) and had to make every shot count, leading to most shots being of a staged and unnatural variety.
You can support immigration in the startup community but not support illegal immigration. Of course ICE is going to target illegal immigrants; it’s part of their mandate. This doesn’t excuse ICE exceeding their authority, which requires a patch via legislation.

China, India, Canada, and Mexico (countries with large populations and those that border the US) would all give me the boot if I tried to illegally immigrate there (and rightfully so). Sovereignty and the rule of law are important.
Or you could study, improve your skills and get more money to be able to afford the bigger car, among other things while still having the latte.
I think the point of the Latte factor, isn't that you shouldn't buy expensive coffee drink. The bigger problem is mindless spending racks up the expense column without adding much value.

Once you get into the habit of getting a coffee from an artisan coffee shop everyday, the value of that great cup of coffee diminishes, and you start to spend money out of habit, not because it adds any more joy, pleasure, or value to you. This is the same as eating out everyday for lunch.

And if mindless consumption seeps into every other aspect of your life, then that's going to cost you dearly.
So, what happens if I assume that Congress is not ethical (I.e. it’s members)? Do I still have to worry about the “spirit” of the law?

If they can vote several times to get rid of Obamacare, and then when the vote actually matters and they don’t pass their vote, what is the “spirit”?

Honestly, I used to feel your way, but when you see both sides pull as much shifty crap over the years, I’m following the letter. Screw the spirit - I prefer to donate to charity than give those guys one more dime.

But they're looking for illegal immigrants, not Latinos. There's a certain amount of overlap between the groups, but they are not the same set.
Probably not. The out-of-order execution units in the cores rely heavily on register renaming to remove anti-dependences in the instructions stream and get more instructions executing in parallel. History (so far in most cases) has shown that this is a better approach to getting good performance than having compilers or humans try to statically manage all the physical registers themselves.
Hmm... or it's just proving that the coffee has more power over me.

The "digital good"? Drone delivery? We're talking real life here, not a William Gibson novel.

You're basically saying that the lower/middle class folks driving those delivery trucks will simply have to work at night, so you can avoid paying for your plan.
Not at ALL.

I’ve never seen a single site design repel me more quickly. I depend heavily on the simplicity and information-density of the old design (e.g. being able to pick from a dozen link titles that all fit on screen at once). I also depend on the pinch-to-zoom simplicity of focusing on exactly what I want, which only works well in the “normal” web pages of the old design. The new “design” breaks everything that made the old design convenient in these respects, and is almost impressively bad. It is so astoundingly different than what made Reddit work originally (i.e. its simplicity) that it quite honestly feels like someone tried their best to sabotage Reddit.

And all of this, I must say, is before I even mention the ridiculous spam-like additions they made. I think the new design finds no fewer than 3 places to shove something in my face like “USE APP / Better in app / HEY DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE AN APP!?!?!?”. Who is that for? Does anyone like this kind of crap? It virtually guarantees that I will never download the app.

Reddit’s days are numbered if it keeps this stuff up. I’m actually surprised that, historically, Digg died for much smaller redesign “sins”, and I think it was primarily because Reddit was an alternative. What’s the alternative?

It's a stupid fucking mentality pervasive amongst the American corporate MBA set. It treats people as disposable and is usually not in the company's best interests. It's a short term boost to a company with long lasting and often disastrous implications down the track.

The first sale doctrine allows any individual/company to buy retail discs and rent those physical copies out. No need of an agreement from the copyright holder for that.

However, in practice, large rental companies (like Netflix) likely DO have contracts that make it easier and cheaper for them to get large numbers of discs without buying them on the retail market. But at least the first sale doctrine provides a fallback if contracts fail. I think I read somewhere that in the past Netflix has had to refer to the retail market for certain titles.
It is done because an overwhelming majority of those entering the country illegal are hispanic. There isn't much more to it than that. It's not racism just because they happen to be the race doing it. If it were any other race it would be treated the exact same way.
So I assume you blame Rosa Parks for not sitting at the back of the bus? It was illegal to do what she did, so therefore she was a criminal.

Not saying that has to be the case here, but just because something is against the law doesn't mean breaking it is morally bad.
This article has a lot more detail, though.
Sorry, my mistake. However, you are repeating the claims of crypto-homophobes that deny that anti-LGBT discrimination is still a very big problem. It is still a horrible scourge, and minimizing it is morally wrong. You may not experience too many issues due to what I imagine is a higher-middle class tech industry social status, probably in a coastal city, but others aren't so lucky. I stand by my criticism.
Not really, I'm just a fan of the ideas in Rust and it's nice to see codebases that do interesting stuff.

If private industry are using inflated (in the short term) valuations and low tax rates to fund a talent war, but publicly funded educational institutions can't compete by increasing funding (through governments raising taxes or printing money), then the playing field isn't exactly level, is it?
