Never saw a Concept Keyboard though, it looks both forward thinking and antiquated (reminiscent of the ZX81). But as it happens I read about an Amiga version of this keyboard just the other day. It was expensive: https://archive.org/details/amigaformatmagazine-026/page/n13...

Yesterday I noticed that Google Scholar forgot one of my articles from 2018, on arXiv. See: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=arXiv%3A1811.04960 Google Scholar is not the same as Google Search, which can still find it https://www.google.com/search?q=arXiv%3A1811.04960 For how long, I have no idea. The article was at the same link all the time and arXiv is very reputable.
The difference between a need and a desire is not a minor detail (which is what the word pedantry would indicate). Let me explain it for you.

need /nēd/
circumstances in which something is necessary, or that require some course of action; necessity.

de·sire /dəˈzī(ə)r/
a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.

The very first thing to do is separate out needs from urges (desires): unless one is living as a hermit off nuts and berries deep in a remote forest one needs one’s fellow human beings for a whole raft of things (I need a shopkeeper to sell me goods as much as a shopkeeper needs me to sell goods to for example) and the most fundamental needs amount to five survival essentials ... air, water, food, shelter (if protection be necessary), and clothing (if the weather be inclement).

The fact that you fail to thoroughly appreciate this makes it unsurprising that you bizarrely place the condition of not engaging in sexual acts (an act of desire) with your fellow human beings to be nearly on the same level as living without being in contact (an act of need) with them.
I agree with the sentiment but for very different reasons.

I've been pursuing a reddit lookalike called tildes recently and a number of NZ and Oz people are on there. I was absolutely floored, as an American, with how okay they are with government sanctioned censorship. So in light of my recent realizations this reasoning makes a bit more sense to me, though I still can't agree with it.
A charming piece of evidence for the IP addresses aren't actually all that useful for tracking point is just how easy it is to evade volume-limitation paywalls on sites like medium: open a clean browser, oh hey, the website has no idea I've already read 3 of your crappy clickbait articles this month! Clearly wouldn't work if they bothered to keep track of IP addresses in addition to cookies or whatever.
Or if you prefer free-as-in-speech kit, there's also Discferret (www.discferret.org) and a ton of other similar community-developed tools :)

(Full disclosure: I'm one of the guys behind Discferret but it hasn't seen much dev work recently due to lack of time on my part)

I hope I live to see the day when the internet stops bringing out the worst in us. The Linux community might not be as vitriolic as cesspools like gaming, but some days it really isn't that far off.
Fore those interested, here is the link to the paper introducing the algorithm:
https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01891876/document

It has a lot of nice illustrations.
I think you are over stretching. The lae has dealt for hundreds of years with idea that one person might harm another. Such laws tend to be a little vague, then build up case law, at least in the UK.
For some (European) definitions of "right", maybe. In the U.S., reactionary thinking goes back to literal readings of the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence, though. From that perspective (maybe not your own but a prominent one), large government ideologies have more in common.
It's not like the oil is going anywhere, either.

I can imagine a point in 30 years where there are new, safer and better ways of getting the oil out, and oil is necessary for processes that don't involve burning it into the atmosphere, and the price is considerably higher than it is now.

I despair of (my current home country) Australia's attitude of digging up all the resources it possibly can and selling them for cheaper than everyone else. And being proud of this, like it's a good thing. These resources are irreplaceable and belong to the whole nation. Maybe leave some in the ground for later when the prices have gone up?
> Also, I said sex is a necessary condition for most people to live an "awesome life", not all people. You misread that part. And by most people, I mean everyone barring the exceptional minority with physical or genetic ailments.

Strong disagreement here.

Sex is not necessary. It's way overblown, and anyone that has regular sex (or the potential to get it) will concede that point. It's definitely not worth the drama that usually follows it.

Food is necessary, cause without it you will die.

Shelter is necessary, cause without it you will die as well (eventually, not immediately)

Sex it not necessary. In fact, I was always confused and flabbergasted by the lengths people will go to to get it. It's remarkable - it's probably evolution at work, but still never ceases to amaze me. People will tolerate the most insane things I've ever witnessed just to put one reproductive organ into another. If an alien race was watching this, they'd die in laughter.

Also, the obsession with sex that modern cinema, newspapers (think scandals etc.), indirectly facebook/instagram, on every billboard hot naked women are selling you something (hot naked women cleaning service, hot naked women car wash/sales/etc.) cannot be healthy. Just cannot be! I don't understand this obsession at all. Don't people have literally anything better to do? Do people really have this much free time?

OT: I'm glad to see this topic on HN cause the human bonding in general is a very interesting topic. Wish we could discuss it more, cause it feels like we, as a society, just go with the momentum instead of sitting down and thinking long-term consequences of what we are doing. It's almost shameful and definitely looked down upon to suggest traditional values and roles, even though those traditional values were result of thousands of years of various attempts. Surely the previous generations weren't all imbeciles that couldn't conclude what works and what doesn't. I think it's safe to say that what we are doing now cannot work long-term.
Downvoted against the evidence given. Anybody cares to explain why? Thank you.

FAA has many regulations that most of Africa does not.

So, no they where not operated in the same fashion. It’s still been grounded in the US for good reasons, but you can’t take individual regulations in isolation.
Not only Bing, from their docs:

"In fact, DuckDuckGo gets its results from over four hundred sources. These include hundreds of vertical sources delivering niche Instant Answers, DuckDuckBot (our crawler) and crowd-sourced sites (like Wikipedia, stored in our answer indexes). We also of course have more traditional links in the search results, which we also source from a variety of partners, including Oath (formerly Yahoo) and Bing."

(Regarding search results + instant answers: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/so...)
This is actually excellent news for America's drillers, as reduced global supply will bolster prices and motivate more drilling in the U.S. And that is all this Norwegian decision will actually do: move production from one place to another. The people of Texas, North Dakota, Alaska, and a few other states, extend their thanks to the Norwegian parliament.
At some point, I think content-hosts should counter-sue for time and customers/clients/users lost for erroneous copyright filings. Then the internet can just become one great big lawsuit that happens to have computers attached to it.

I'd argue that this is mostly restricted to for profit discussion platforms that only considers monthly users and are otherwise uninterested in community and topic issues.

There are lots of subject matter discussion platforms that never go trough this phase as a natural consequence of having primary concerns that isn't simply growing MAU numbers.

Typewriters have a layout to prevent the hammers from jamming by spacing common keys out farther, they are not designed to slow down typing.

Due to the mechanics in a typewriter two keys close together have a much larger range of movement where they interfere than two keys far away. A hammer will have to move almost entirely back to its rest position if an adjacent hammer is to not run into it. On the other hand it would have to move only half an inch to get out of the way of a hammer on the other side of the typewriter.
Was useful to read. I became a dog owner too recently and try to follow all useful info. Just read about best food for small breed puppies on https://petstiger.com/best-dog-food-for-small-breed-puppies/ to keep my pet healthy. I think owning a dog is a big responsibility.
Wikipedia states:

'In Australia, they are often called fairy penguins because of their small size.'

So it appears to be an Australian term.

Most motherboards (but not all) have basic protection for this, so it's quite unlikely that you break your motherboard electronically that way.

That said, blowing compressed air at a fan will spin the fan much faster than what it was designed for. So you still risk breaking the fan mechanically. Always hold the fan when blowing compressed air at it.
If 'hate' means 'wanting people dead or gone', then it could be a step on the same path. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but from a Christian perspective, they're not so different.
I don’t normally see ARM with thumb code so I couldn’t tell you. I am fairly certain it is supported but to what degree I am uncertain.
I'm reading "But How Do It Know" right now and programming a software version of the computer the book is describing. It's fun and gets you to learn about NAND gates and other things without intimidating electronic engineering knowledge (I don't have much of a background here)

I've implemented a the memory module (256 bytes!) the ALU and am just moving into the CPU section now. The book builds up from creating a "bit" out of a few NAND gates, onto registers, the data bus etc

It's actually been a very rewarding little project, yes it's far removed from x86 and modern systems but I think the principles are there to build knowledge on.

People might say what's the point, your day job is gluing libraries together to run websites and stuff who cares about hardware, but I think that's a shame because from what I can tell it's not that complicated and makes what is going on under the hood a little easier to reason about, even if you don't understand the complexities of modern processors

I'm looking forward to getting my little computer to run toy programs :)
yes, that's true. But he also states that he sweats more depending on food. That means his body has an inflammation reaction towards certain foods. Could be sugar/refined grains (which untreated could lead to diabetes type ii), other people have inflammation when eating BBQ red meat (which increases risks of cancer)
This was basically my point as well. There are certainly better words to describe concerns, and the concerns are more bipartisan than is popularly appreciated.
I think a comment in this thread should be visible to highlight any alternatives to request.

How about Pho which relies, at least in nothern Vietnam, heavily on bone marrow? You need to cook the bones IIRC at least 12 hours until the marrow dissolves. Does the long cooking process "harm" any nutrions?

Not exactly, but close enough.

Why would people want to do that, even if nobody is watching, that's the question we need to be asking ourselves.
Sometimes, perversely, important systems are the _least_ likely to be updated. Operators require extensive testing before widespread application of the updates, which takes time.
The hated copyright directive contains provisions that require the creation of mechanism for challenging wrongful take downs, which if implemented properly would resolve the issue.

There's an FAQ in the AlgoVPN documentation that addresses this question (https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/docs/faq.md#...):

> Why aren't you using OpenVPN?

> OpenVPN does not have out-of-the-box client support on any major desktop or mobile operating system. This introduces user experience issues and requires the user to update[1] and maintain[2] the software themselves. OpenVPN depends on the security of TLS[3], both the protocol[4] and its implementations[5], and we simply trust the server less due to past[6] security[7] incidents[8].

Show HN: CSSBattle – The First CSS Code Golfing Battleground
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Does this happen to anyone else on the team? If I were you, I'd (informally) ask others if this is a problem for them, and if it is maybe consider formally putting your foot down to the CEO.

If you feel there is any kind of legal route you can go down, I'd consider talking to a lawyer, in case there is anything that can be done. I'd also ask about the implications of being a whistleblower. One possible route could be to a local newspaper, ensuring that the entire town/city is aware that the company bullies its employees.

Failing all of this, if it's just someone being a bully, fight back. Challenge him on anything offensive he says, and respond back. Also, start cutting your hours back to the hours you're supposed to be working. Tell the boss that any failings in your work is down to him being a shitty manager, and that if he wants anything extra from you his boss either needs to put him on training, or to sack him and get someone that knows what they're doing.
Datacamp took 521 days to announce a Sexual Harassment incident
Sure, in the short term, it will not have much effect apart from

a) protecting the sensitive environment around the Lofoten islands

b) increasing the cost of oil slightly

c) leaving the oil around Lofoten for future generations if necessary

All three are quite positive effects of this decision, with a+c) being more limited to Norway and b) potentially having an effect world-wide. It will also make it easier to tax "dirty" oil imports (such as from sensitive natural environments) and all goods produced using such oil into the EU if no internal player is doing the same.
Why just not cut the fluff and go straight to government mandated divorces? :)
This sounds very similar to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and it might be worth your time to ask a doctor about it if you haven't already.
If it increases prices, then fewer people will buy oil, causing less oil to be drilled.
Jeremy Wright, "Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport in the UK" penned an op-ed in CNN about this. [0] The closing line is particularly infuriating to me: "That is an objective on which the British Government, Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Mark Zuckerberg would all agree."

No, I don't think TBL would agree on this. The cited organization started by him explicitly calls for the opposite [1]:

- Ensure everyone can connect to the internet so that anyone, no matter who they are or where they live, can participate actively online.

- Keep all of the internet available, all of the time so that no one is denied their right to full internet access.

- Respect people’s fundamental right to privacy so everyone can use the internet freely, safely and without fear.

> The supreme court does change their mind about things, as the Heller decision demonstrates.

Heller was not a change of mind by the supreme court (it ruled on a different matter to previous rulings -- which had explicitly skirted around the problem of civilian ownership of weapons outside of a military context).

However, even if it were a change of mind -- the supreme court changing its rulings is an incredibly rare event because such events question the finality and authority of their decisions.

Hence why I said "the only way to change their decision would be through a constitutional amendment" -- because waiting for the supreme court to change their mind about it (while technically possible and sometimes the case) is hardly a useful policy position for a political argument.
But you have to admit it's a lot more risky. Also, plenty of people are looking forward to a good laid but are turned off if you just spam innuendo or are too forward.
It seems like the only way to profitably scale this type of service to millions to a billion users, so it ends up being the go-to technical excuse for the people that think our moral standards should budge for the technical feasibility of maintaining these insanely large social media setups, like it's some sort of inherent right to be able to do that and turn a profit.

In a perfect world, where everyone is liable for the material they host on their own servers, services with this many users wouldn't exist in the first place.

It's pretty depressing to think of all the extremely talented people working their socks off to find oil fields, directed to do so by fools who don't realise we can never safely use them. It would be much better if they were working on sustainable technologies instead.

I agree. I used to be a professional photographer and videographer. I switched jobs, but I still keep my gear around. One piece of virtual gear that I don't keep around is anything Adobe. Whereas before, I could buy an actual product and use it when I need it, now it would have to become a subscription I constantly turn on and off when I want to do a small, sometimes pro-bono, photo or video shoot.

Affinity Photo is a pretty good alternative. Familiar interface and features, and a one-time affordable purchase. Not entirely sure what an equivalent might be for video.
No, definitely not in the US. They sell everything and our treacherous congress specifically voted to allow it.

I run a paint production company here in Italy (decorative for interior/exterior house use, and various kinds of high-grade industrial coatings) so this article (not to mention the fact that it somehow climbed it was to the top of the front page) amuses me no end.

I've forwarded it to all of my colleagues and they'll all in stitches too. Because basically deep down we know this is the most succinct and relatable description of what we do with our lives. Try as we might to aggrandise things, this is the truth stripped bare.

Ask HN: Are there any HTTP redirect services?
Hi HN. I have a domain with a few documents that I'd like to retire, but I want to keep those URLs working.

What I need is a web server that I can configure with a .htaccess file that redirects anyone visiting an old URL to the document's new location.

Why not open a commodity shared web-host? Sure I could, I just figured a custom service like this could be done a lot cheaper without all the other stuff that shared web hosts do. I suspect I'm not the only person with a need exactly like mine.

Any offers?
> TFA mentions the low sample size of the original study, and augments it with Twitter polls. But TFA author's Twitter follows aren't exactly a representative sample of the population...

I agree, and even if their followers were, all it takes is a single retweet by a popular user, or post in a high-traffic subreddit or Facebook share to wildly skew the results.

Offering the Twitter poll as any sort of evidence at all without major disclaimers makes me quite skeptic of the author's qualifications, to be honest...
Preventing toxic work environments through ethical leadership
The index only has to be on "low latency storage" if low-latency results to any query are required. While that's definitely true of the modal "Google Search", most of these queries for "long-tail, old content" as discussed in the OP don't really need that sort of quick response.
that makes it sound far more inevitable than it really is.
