Degiro, an investment platform, do the same for your initial £100 deposit: you enter your bank's auth info and they do the wire transfer for you. It uses a 3rd party system called "SOFORT". Thereby training the public that passwords to a bank account should be given to random third parties, undoing years of pain staking training efforts.

If they asked for your PIN code, people would clearly balk. But somehow, passwords to a bank account are fair game. It's exasperating.

I've encountered a Threadripper motherboard that lacked the firmware capabilities necessary to use a passive PCIe x16 to quad M.2 board.

I also haven't seen those quad-M.2 boards listing support for the mainstream Ryzen (AM4) platform, only the Threadripper and Intel HEDT platforms. Have you gotten an AM4 Ryzen system to split its x16 slot into 4x4?
Yeah if Poland and Hungary are 'flirting with authoritarianism' then the US with it's current leader is too.

If that sounds dumb to you, you should rethink the statement about Poland and Hungary.

TLDR; The traveller has Global Entry, a privilege for low-risk travellers to skip some customs and immigration procedures.

- Traveller got selected for a random check.

- CBP asked generic questions about job history of the person.

- CBP asked permission to the traveller to unlock laptop and phone.

- Traveller refused and decided to stay silent and to not comply to any procedures.

<Nothing happens>

- Traveller released and has to follow standard procedure next time instead of Global Entry (traveller's risk increased, as non complying).
Correct, you'd only get the chipset's IO. IIRC each 10Gb port would be 2 PCIe3 lanes (with some waste, you can run 100Gb on PCIe3x16).
That's science fiction, not science. Clarke used three to push your brain past our sense of left/right symmetry not because of some idea related to redundancy.
Engineers don't care to talk much about politics because typically in the development of tech, you only very rarely (if ever) encounter the kind of complex situation where you must resort to a political debate in order to differentiate between the better of two competing solutions that address the same underlying issue.

What I mean is that good ideas in tech tend to be somewhat of a logically sound and mathematical nature.

Which means it doesn't matter what you believe about your code, or what you had to go through to write it, or what it would mean to society if we just used your code regardless because you just so happen to belong to some historically oppressed minority group that is under represented in the tech industry as a whole.

If your code isn't demonstrated as being technologically superior after measured up against my code, guess what... your code goes in the trash, mine gets merged upstream, and everybody gets to come to the common consensus that as far as all the bits in our cosmos are concerned, every thing can be explained as being binary.
> the unofficial x86 port of OpenGenera is an emulator for Alpha which emulates the Lisp machine

You can run the official Open Genera emulator in an Alpha/Tru64 UNIX emulator on top of an Intel CPU.

But the 'unofficial' port is actually a direct port of the Open Genera emulator to 64bit x86.
The MCAS is designed to prevent an aerodynamic stall; a situation where the plane is pointed too far up and as a result starts heading straight for the ground. It does do by detecting the plane pointing too far up, and pushing it back down. If it did not function when the plane was descending rapidly it would not be fit for its designed purpose.
Wow, as someone who has used this service, thank you for the mentioning this, I had no idea!
They're only central R&D because MS employ most of the paid dev resources working on it and no one would use any forks except from MS (or possibly Google, but they wouldn't ratify MS's platforms by investing resources in maintaining a fork) so there's no risk of fragmentation.

That definitely doesn't apply to all projects, you can look at the successful forks of Oracle's OSS acquired products.

If the OSS'ed code-base is valuable, you've just given a open invitation to all your competitors to create their own competing forks.
There's definitely no "i" there.

The "v" at the end can get devoiced to "f" in casual speech, but people don't think of it as "f", because in other forms of the word, where it has postfixes - it still has to be pronounced as "v".

It's a little like "speakin'" vs "speaking".
No. You are right that non-wealthy people do not make angel investments in startups (usually). However, they could make a small investment in a fund that does so. Right now, such funds do not exist, primarily for regulatory reasons.

No, I'm taking a quick break from my "work" to help a valued colleague solve a problem informally in a way that actually adds more value to the organisation than if I had been sat at my desk. I enjoy the human interaction, its good for my sense of wellbeing. My colleague has his stress levels reduced. We learn a bit about each other's jobs in those 15 minutes and a product is delivered a week earlier than it would otherwise have been.
Oh no!

5 million USD is ridiculously low amount of money for this; I expect that most of it will go to fund studies and planning, not actual trains. IMHO, it would be better to invest on research in cleaner airplanes and some influence-giving Airbus stock.

Also, for the budget I can usually afford on travel, the less time I'm inside the can the better. Trains are a big no-go.
As I read the article, the "revival" is more about the government trying to get people to reduce their carbon footprint when travelling, and less about popular demand.

That being said, I remember taking the sleeper from Stockholm to Elsinore in Denmark as a kid. Boarding the ferry while on the train was pretty awesome to a ten year-old. :P
I strongly agree with all of this, and it's the main reason why I'm hesitant about switching to Linux. Preview is easily the best simple PDF viewer I've ever seen. I don't care much about word processors, but it's certainly true that KDE (and Gnome) make Linux feel clunkier than it should. It feels like they tried to look too much like Windows and not enough like OS X. Or maybe not enough like Sun OS.

Feels like trolling to me. I suspect this was posted a day late.

As he mentions, there are lots of projects that counter his claims. Linux kernel. Every Open Source high-level language ever. Red hat.

Wolfram isn't open source because they don't want it to be open source. And you know what? They're allowed to do that! They don't need to justify that decision, it's their decision to make.

Without resorting to "they love money too much", I'll give them another, slightly more honest reason: It's certainly not impossible, but open sourcing an established project is hard. Managing a community of contributors AND a community of users is hard. Keeping a steady stream of revenue while you make the transition is haaaaarrrd. Maintaining all the values that he's mentioned while still keeping all your contributors and community happy: HARD.

And if the cost:value ratio is wrong, you don't do it. And if you have lots of other hard problems to solve, adding one more hard problem with fractional value is silly.

Yes, we would love it to be OSS. Maybe this was posted as a way of never having to answer the question again. Just sad that it isn't a little more honest an answer.
Gold but for the internet. I.e. value store that is digital and government independent. It is kind of fringe niche - but I think it will stay.
That's not really fair criticism. The Mathematica approach to things is very different to most other platforms. Have a look at some of the maths stuff and symbolic manipulation stuff, that's the core that it was built out from.
The difference with a plane, however, is it isn't necessary to fix it. It's just necessary to get it on the ground safely.
Show HN: Esobrute – An esoteric programming languages brute forcer
It's not like anyone can push code to your project once you open source it, you're still the gatekeeper that decides which PR gets accepted and which one does not.

I could understand the argument that sifting through the pull requests would take them too much time that they could spend doing something else, but at least 8/12 of these could be solved by... you know, properly maintaining an open source project.

The article leads me to the conclusion that they have no intention of letting the community drive the company, and I could totally understand that. I don't see how any of the listed reasons could prevent them from making their code source-available without indicating an open source license.

Oh come on, this american-centric meme has to die off already. Drugs. Every drug-related transaction I know or heard off for the last ~2 years have been done through bitcoin.

In some aspects, US is ahead of the globe. In others, though - like having people such as drug dealers who meet their clients in person and make transactions in cash - it's way behind.
I don't agree at all, and your baseless assertions misrepresent both history and technical requirements.

Contrary to your baseless claims, programming languages were not developed to avoid writing state machines. They were developed to provide programmers with convenient abtractions that made them more productive and helped them implement what they wanted to implement. Back in the real world state machines, either generated from a DSL or hand-rolled by developers, are still the standard solution to implement a lot of mundane components such as network protocols, language parsers, user interfaces, and even control systems. We're talking about applications where the state changes depending on inputs in spite of where the control flow might be. If your experience hasn't taught you that then you should not be paying attention to its voice.

>but taking my average speed on the highway will give me a good estimate on when I'll get to my destination

Like in the Bill Gates example, if you had a clear highway and went with 100 mph for the first hour, and then hit a busy traffic and are going with 20 mph for the last 5 minutes (with no foreseeable end in sight), the average wont help you much.

It's only really useful for this purpose when there is constant speed (as in school math problems), or few extremities (or when any extremities neatly cancel out).

See how average can be misleading?
> "Not politicising" is a political act and statement as well. There is no dodging politics.

Sigh. Are you posting this Twitter meme seriously or is it a joke? It doesn't even stand up to light intellectual scrutiny.

As for actors, musicians etc blabbering about politics, the things they say tend to be elitist, disconnected and uninformed. Don't think it does the world any good, apart from highlighting just how far removed they are from the common man.

I've noticed the people who make such claims tend to have horrible politics that need a signal boost. There's a reason why you need to latch onto the success of others and resent those who will not play ball. Have fun with that.

> Whats the learning curve look like for someone who's primarily a Javascript (with a little bit of PHP/Laravel) developer?

Really depend how much of a language junkie you are.

I came from old school javascript and php and did mostly functional javascript (closure, high order function, etc...). I did other languages too but php & javascript was my primary. It's moderate not a very complex language but the paradigm can be a little bit high. The creator kept the language nice and small imo.

You can get away with half of it if you're just doing phoenix and ignore OTP (process, concurrecy stuff). You can learn OTP later.

> Is it a purely functional language?

Very close to pure.

There is no for loop. If you want to loop you have to do recursion.

You don't have to loop much because there are comprehensions and generators.

You don't use closure or anything that fancy unless you want to. I think the most is higher order function and those functional stuff like map, reduce, etc... It's not bad because you can google those things to get what you want. I think learning how to pipe |> a lot of stuff and pattern matching is what you really need mostly.

Reason I said very close is because it's pragmatic like Python where not everything is an object. You can invoke len() function without it being a method to an object. The example most Erlang tutorial will give being pragmatic is the time function how the time function isn't Referential transparency. Also so other fancy missing functional stuff from Haskell that some people asked for in elixir forum but I don't understand.

There's one very popular emoji I particularly hate: https://emojipedia.org/face-with-tears-of-joy/.

Why? Because a) it looks bad (one of the worst made emojis out there), and b) when someone sends it to me, I have no clue what they mean. While it's technically "crying with joy", it also resembles crying with despair - and with regular people, who don't even know what "emoji" is or that they have names, I can't be 100% sure which interpretation they picked.

You can have fractional-reserve only because the public cannot see any difference between money from M0 and M1. In crypto the public uses M0 directly. For now at least.

Network effects keep people in place. Switching social networks would need a bit of a movement, which OP maybe wanted to low-key initiate?

The next social network would also have to provide the simplicity, performance and features people expect, while showing real, understandable improvements in terms of privacy or the economic model (e.g. no risk being bought by Facebook like WhatsApp).

In general, 'new social networks' seem rarely discussed, here in HN or elsewhere; can you maybe name a few of the options you have in mind?

>Sigh. Are you posting this Twitter meme seriously or is it a joke? It doesn't even stand up to light intellectual scrutiny.

Actually, far from a Twitter meme, it's a millennia long empirical observation.

It's only the disconnect from power of today's citizen that make them thing they can be uninvolved with politics (and that this doesn't send a political message and have political impact).

The very definition of a citizen was one who was active in politics (the inverse being someone preoccupied with their own private matters, an "idiotis" in Ancient Greek, and the etymology for "idiot").
I certainly agree that overpowered Google folks are basically bunch of shady dweebs now, and DRM is garbage practice overall.

However I simply cannot empathize with you because you made another Webkit/chromium-based thing, and that is certainly not the thing we need right now. With Google monopoly in the web the thing we need is the actual good deviation of their w3c 'standards' realization, like Firefox.

Reskinning Chrome with arguably useful "multiplayer" play-pause feature is just meh.
From 30k ft--in the financial industry, the VC title afforded a carve out from SEC oversight if its business was focused around certain qualifications (e.g., invested primarily in new-early stage private companies).

This classification, in turn, also limits what an entity with a VC status can ultimately do and invest in.

In this case, a16z has ambitions that outstrip the limited definition of VC in the eyes of the SEC. Under their new classification, they still have the monies as an 'investment advisor' but aren't hamstrung on what they can invest in. It will, however, change the way they will be required to operate due to new regulations that come with the investment advisor classification.
