In context of the article, I think the parent's argument is this folktale is remarkably accurate.
I thought "slowly" was a reference to the reduced typing speed on the phone.
sure everyone “owns” the code, but I think having at least two people be the true owners and have full understanding of a module so they can debate details/direction, then everyone else floats around them contributing. I always imagine this as an ideal setup
I don't think it is true for the majority of Twitter's active users. It may be true for people who aren't using Twitter yet. Or it may just be something they need to make it easier to get users to engage with ads.

For whatever reason, Jack feels like he needs this to make Twitter more money and is trying to sell it as a benefit for active users. But it's really pissing on the active userbase and claiming that it's raining.
Having tried to debug some issues between autograd, PyTorch & TensorFlow, I find torch & tf tensors have different enough syntax and naming that one needs to google a bit.

Where does the "Scientific" come in? Because I really thought it implied having a good idea, which made SWAG seem like an oxymoron.

I agree with all your points. Don't be discouraged if you get called out by mostly unilingual Americans. As a trilingual Francophone from Canada, I understand from lived experience how language is more than just an economic consideration. In fact, I'd say that the idea of thinking of every aspect of culture purely from economic terms is a very Anglophone way of looking at life.

French & German as the core EU languages would be a great step forwards towards truly making EU independent of American & British influences.
I'd certainly love to be about to distribute some poison to some of the drivers out there.
I'm not saying he has preconceptions about the book, I'm saying his opinion of the book is creating unwarranted preconceptions about our work.

The paper doesn't comment on money markets much at all, and cites pretty unambiguous peer reviewed work which is highly substantiated when it does.
I understand the economic and legal pressure for this to happen, but how would that make social networks anything other than mass market gatekeepers, like newspapers and TV networks once were?

Wasn't the attraction that you could follow someone who matched your interests, like "antique model steam engine refurbishment", or whatever niche interest an individual might have? If twitter had a vetted list of large creators, they'd be right back in the "all of this network content is lowest-common-denominator dreck" situation that ABC/CBS/NBC were in circa 1985. Which may not be a bad thing for society as a whole (we can have an agreed-upon set of facts again! No alternate facts!), but why did we go through 30 years of media upheavals and the loss of the good things about newspapers and TV (equal time doctrine) to get back there? Was this all just about creating a different set of media moguls?
tl;dr

We get Water vapour readings (which feed into our weather forecasting models) from the ~24ghz range which 5G is going to blast away.
> There's nothing to indicate this would happen.

Most extradition treaties require extradatable crimes to have an equivalent in local law. This directive, once adopted nationally, would explicitly ensure Snowden's actions are not crimes, hence effectively shielding him.

> So the EU is going to make

When it comes to foreign policy, there is no "the EU". There are 27 (+1) states with different aims and priorities. See for example the current crisis in Lybia with France effectively supporting one (murderous) side over the other (slightly less murderous) side that most EU countries still support.

> An intervention into US domestic affairs?

Snowden's actions were clearly global in nature.

> Trump could feasibly respond by pulling US forces out of parts of Europe

Which may or may not have anything to do with the country that accepted Snowden. Trump could also launch thermonuclear war, on that line of thought. Please don't go hyperbolic, there is no need.

> of course the fact there's a trade war brewing

"Brewing"? I don't think we are living in the same universe. The Orange One has waged war from the minute he got in office.

> It would be a huge mistake for Europe to unnecessarily provoke Trump at this point.

As I said, there is no "Europe" as such, on these matters. But I understand it's difficult to appreciate from that side of the pond.

Eh... markets overreact.

Why would Apple put themselves in the same position again in 6-8 years?

Most likely the deal includes patent licenses so Apple can stop using QCOM. No way Apple agrees otherwise.
Well, we show (among many other results) that today's system is potentially unstable assuming miners are rational and profit maximizing. I don't think that's paranoia in a system that gives you 0 security guarantees unless you assume miners are rational and profit maximizing.

> Virtually all existing market designs are crappy. Maybe CBOT is an exception. Michael Lewis' book is a big giant marketing document for a shitty market design, FWIIW: not a preconception; I read and panned his ridiculous book.

I'm not saying anything promoted by Lewis is a good market design, nor that existing continuous limit order books are. Merely that from the PoV of the efficient markets hypothesis, blockchain markets are worse (and have the potential to be better, e.g. by exploring batched designs).
> “It’s democracy at stake, it’s our culture at stake,” Anderson said.

Christ, the self-importance of the Twitterverse is astonishing. What they don't say out loud is that Trump and Brexiteers and others they oppose have used the platform to effectively end-run the media, they hate that, but they can't figure out a way to stop them. A little bit of plain speaking would be refreshing.
CloudFormation supports the "NoEcho" option specifically to allow password-type parameters, which are not inspectable. How is that not a secure string parameter?

Personally I don't consider real name or real photo to be much of an asset of any of the circles I was in on Twitter. In fact, in my experience the ones with real name/real photo (or what seemed that way) were generally the least interesting posters. They were never willing to put out their own opinion, especially on controversial topics. In fact, in the kind of groups I was in (let's say political activism), having your real details on there is anything but an asset.

Not having a real name on Twitter isn't even a good heuristic for anything.
I don't understand what you are talking about. You don't need AAA-quality graphics or a 2019 AAA-size budget for a game to be great. The boom of indie games has shown that great games can have great gameplay and performance, but without the fancy graphics of an AAA game.

Do you have any examples of the complexity of AAA graphics caused a game to either have its scope cut, or not exist at all? The only one remotely close to that is Destiny 1's devtools making created/editing levels difficult. However, that game had more fundamental problems, like needing to support the PS3 in addition to the PS4.
Ideally a bit of both.

The problem is that omnidirectional (so non-directional) radiation causes the problem, not fixed point-to-point links. So, with the omnis the best idea is to limit their TX power and spread the noise via ultra-wide band multiplexing (using random orthogonal coding [which is CDMA or lately frequencies (subcarriers/subbands), which is OFDMA] minimizes the interference), but with the p2p links, you can go wild, use a relatively high power high frequency narrow band high symbol/baud modulation (like QAM256 - used in 802.11ac wifi).

But of course cables rule, because they are really great at containing the EM radiation. And lamps already have cables to power the lamp, and the micro-nano-pico-cell thingie will also need power too, and then you can just do Power over Ethernet and be done with it, and then concentrate the copper wires and switch to fiber.

Though probably the p2p mesh backhaul module would be pricey, but sometimes getting your cable to a switch is equally problematic/costly, so that's why probably a bit of both from a cost perspective too.
What are wireless providers gonna allow these new IoT devices on their network for free? Are they suddenly gonna stop making us pay through the nose for bandwidth on our phones? Is tethering not gonna exist, or not be an extra $20 per month charge?

I don't see any of these things happening with 5G.

> Selling hardware at a loss is one reason that consoles have always punched much higher graphically relative to price.

Here's a 2 year old video comparing a $550 PC (with RX480) to PS4 Pro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HueyUmSHrdo

Also, PS4 Pro specs list its GPU perf at 4.2 Tflops, while a GTX 1080, worth $499 and predating PS4 Pro by half a year has 8.2 Tflops. It's in the ballpark of 3.8Tflops of GTX 1060, MSRP $249.

The PS4 Pro's CPU at 2.13 GHz is also not what one would call punching above your weight. There are cheap i3's more powerful than that.

A console's value is a very dubious proposition if you are in a country which is given a favorable regional pricing by Steam.
There's a engineering-oriented middle ground that doesn't prove everything mathematically from first principles like Coq. Languages like Ada and Haskell can get you a long way without formal proofs.
Because you'd also like to know the phase of the waves. If you get unlucky and get just DC offset of the waves (think of it as the 0 crossing of a sine wave) then you've no idea what the phase is. The peak could be before the 0 crossing and the minimum could be afterwards, or it could be the opposite (pi offset in phase). Granted, this is unlikely to occur, you're much more likely to not run into these scenarios. Ideally, you want 4 pieces of data per wave, the 0 crossings and the max/min, for each wave. From that you can get the amplitude and the phase for certain (again, luck is involved)
You can configure ripgrep to default to whatever flags you want by creating a configuration file and defining `RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH`: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/11.0.0/GUIDE.md#c.... Try putting `-uuu` in the file as burntsushi suggested.
Just looking at the source code. Things haven't changed all that much.
747 is out of domestic passenger service in the U.S. but it's definitely still used a ton for international passenger service including to/from the U.S.
Or even use LoRa for meshing which is 50kbps over 10km. As you said, there's only so much data a traffic signal needs.
Yep. I'd guess that they continue to source LTE modems from them, however.
I don't see how anything is wrong with "large, ugly beige" electronics. 737's fly everyday just fine. What benefits are they going to get from sleek, thin Jony Ive-inspired UX? Are they going to get to destinations faster? Are they going to have a smoother ride? What product requirements could possibly change that would necessitate upgrading the avionics?

All these high-tech upgrades have downsides. Fiber optic is very slow to be adopted in aviation because movement generally destroys it. those fancy HUD obscure the runway and lighting. AIRDRU's malfunction, sometimes spectacularly [1]. Sometimes they kill people when working exactly as designed [2]. I'm not surprised to see a fetish for the fastest, sleekest electronics on Hacker News, but I'm shocked to suddenly see such sharp criticism for the '37 on here (aside from the Max issue). It's one of the most reliable and safe aircraft ever, yet somehow it needs the latest glass cockpit technology.

You might have thought you were being clever by blurring the distinction between Crimea and certain European nations, but everyone in this thread has seen through this. Crimea was part of Russian Empire from 1783. That's a long time ago.

You would have been fine if you just stopped with "Russia has invaded other nations". That's simply true. This "Russia invades more nations than USA" is obvious bullshit. Even the TV news admits that.
Cautionary tale: the PS4 Pro retroactively dropped support for many early 4K displays, including my own, in a software update. The updates were hardware fused to prevent downgrading, of course.

My plan for 8k is to wait for mass market adoption before buying one and hooking it up to a DRM-box built by a company with foreseeable financial interest in "stimulating" display upgrades during a down quarter.

Note that despite the fact that tattoos are rather normalized in the West, the default stance is still to hide them during job interviews, with varying degrees of leniency depending on industry and region (e.g. Microsoft probably doesn't care if its programmers are tattooed, though it will for its corporate salespeople).
You know what really annoys me? It’s people who call companies by only their stock symbol. Why does this annoy me? It is as if stock symbols were the normal company identifiers (as opposed to, say the names of the companies) for all the readers who the writer cared about. Which means that the person who wrote it is, in essence, saying “If you don’t invest in stocks, I don’t care if you understand me or not, since then you don’t matter.”

EDIT: If all you want to do is clarify what the stock symbols are, you first had better check that you’re using the correct symbols, and then all you’d have to do is write “Apple (AAPL)”. This is clear, precise, and does not exclude anyone needlessly. Therefore, I can only conclude that people who don’t do this clearly want be excluding.
Honestly, if the relevant content they showed be was actually relevant and interesting, I wouldn't mind at all. That is a big "if" though.

_Maybe_ if they removed all their weird gating and order logic and presented tweets as a list of time ordered events that match the hashtag you're searching for (including user sources) and have another tab for tweets people you're following have retweeted and for tweets in your subject that were popular then they'd fix it...

Basically if they actually let users see the data they are holding onto.

If the NSA doesn’t have a black box for breaking strong encryption using a shortcut, as portrayed in the movie Sneakers, and if companies like Apple truly aren’t running interference here, is it safe to say that there is a growing collection of encrypted internet traffic probably being stored long term by the government?

Also, how close might the USA or China be to building such a black box? Is it even possible in theory?

Every quarter there are similar headlines regarding Facebook or Zuckerberg. At what point will it stop? From today's bit, it sounds like many executives were aware of this, including the beloved "lean in" Sheryl.
Excuse my outburst, but I'm wondering when these social network algorithms are going to realize: I don't follow "interests", I follow PEOPLE.

If you want to show users random news and gossip, then make a fucking news website already.

It's like if you build a chatroom, except instead of simply showing things that people in the current room are saying as they say it, it mostly pulls in vaguely similar stuff that people in other rooms are saying, and then sorts all messages in order of whoever is the most popular or says the most relevant keywords.
Exactly, those are the trade offs.

I don't think everyone agrees to this. At least, I don't. It's absurd to put a wooden roof back onto a structure seriously damaged by a roof fire. Whatever goes up there should be non-flammable. At minimum something that won't crash in the roof again in case there is a fire. Rebuilding it in the same fashion would be monumentally stupid.

Setting aside the safety issue, I go back and forth if it should be restored in exactly the same way. Notre Dame has been modified and improved over time and I don't necessarily think it needs to go back exactly the way it was. Like the glass pyramid in the Louvre perhaps modern materials can be an improvement.

To stock traders, they don't.

Complaining about stock symbols in an economics article is like complaining that a chemistry paper used "h202" instead of spelling out "hydrogen peroxide", or for that matter than any tech article explain what http is.
you still need more capacity, as the population grows more number of devices will compete for same 4g bandwidth and unlike optical fibre you cannot increase the bandwidth by adding new wire.

There can be no compromise: we are small, independent and have very little income. You are part of a large company with hundreds of employees and millions of revenue. All we have is software freedom; if we compromise on that, we have nothing left.

Also, I didn't say that producing free software meant you had to accept patches from anyone or listen to anything they said. All it means is that you no longer forbid your clients from knowing how your code works and you no longer forbid your clients from sharing that knowledge and that software with each other. You don't have to offer extra support or open up a public bug tracker. You don't even have to offer access to your repos; giving your clients the tarballs would be enough.

The GPL isn't anti-commercial, but your job is structured to make you believe it is. It's possible to make a living without forbidding your clients from learning and sharing.
