Once they decided to make the mouse chargeable it was inevitable the plug would go underneath. A plug that allowed you to continue to use the mouse wouldn't stand up to the stress and strain of being dragged around your desk.
Ok, so if I would like to have a motion sensor (and maybe a camera) attached to a server on a rasperry pi which sends alerts to my smartphone ... how much work and tinkering can I expect at the current state, if I am very good in javascript, node and linux, but not at "low level" things?
> Even at the height of cold war, the combined nuclear arsenal of NATO countries would've only been enough to destroy 1/3rd of USSR's military under ideal circumstances.

Is there a reason nuclear weapons would be aimed at military targets, rather than political targets? I always assumed a nuclear war would just be a bunch of decapitation strikes where suddenly nobody has capitol cities.
>of course they could try and ban that but unless you actually train cops to roam around with wifi packet sniffers i doubt it would be very enforceable.

That's exactly what Soviet police would do 50 years ago to catch "illegal" radio stations, to the point that the rebels eventually put it into a balloon, so there is precedence
>Just split it 50/50. Anything else will cause problems further down the road.

It's not that simple. There are plenty of horror stories from founders explaining how the ideals of 50/50 or 33/33/33 equal splits actually caused problems and resentment about unfairness.

Sometimes equal splits will lead to problems.

Sometimes unequal splits will lead to problems.

Therefore, there isn't any one-size-fits-all advice. Each group of founders have to figure out what type of equity split is appropriate for their startup.

That will probably never get done in a OSS manner at the scale of google, and even if it was serving it would probably be enormously expensive.

A lot of 3d models are in OSM, although not as detailed as in proprietary solutions.

This is not something I want in the same database as the location data. The hope is that more sites/services use discovarable technologies lite microdata to make sure that it can be added to the map via separate databases.

Wow!! I was the one who not intentionally popularized USB Killer. It happened 4 years ago. I owned a website, where I published translations of articles and one of them was about USB Killer. The article[1] was #1 on Hacker News[2] for several hours and made it viral on all major online publications. What I saw next was crazy. People around the world started to experiment trying to re-create the device - youtube videos, articles, blog posts, etc. I received a ton of mails with clarifying questions about the circuit board and so on, but I had zero clue how it all worked, since I simply translated the original[3] article from Russian. And then someone finally recreated this USB and the whole thing became a little market. Niche websites started to sell it and the device was a lucrative product for youtube kids to make their videos more fun. Wow..

I recommend pulling instead. That way you do not lose information on when given code was done and conflict resolution is visible, making hacks like git-rerere less required and automated merging tools more potent.

This is really important when there are parallel feature branches and even more so when features are codependent.

E.g. if feature a depends on feature b, if you rebase feature a you cannot just pull it into feature b as there will be duplicate commits.

If you want nice lines you should hire a painter. If you want easy merges, merge instead of rebasing.
> whichever idiot thought putting the power plug at the bottom of the Magic Mouse was a good idea.

For those not familiar with the Apple Mouse, the commenter means that the power plug is on the part that you’re supposed to have on the mousepad, meaning you can’t charge it while using it, at all.

Easily the worst way to design a mouse, ever. I don’t understand how it was approved.

> able to keep that secret

Firstly, this was unachievable; the concept of the bomb had been publicly discussed before the war, what remained was the engineering challenges of actually producing one. There were a number of independent and intelligence-assisted programs during and after the war to develop the bomb. The Russians would have been aware of the German programme that was sabotaged by the destruction of the Norway heavy water plant, for example.

Secondly, once the programme was started in the US, it would have been unthinkable to not use it during WW2; what kind of lunatic develops a super-weapon during a war and chooses not to use it?

Thirdly, the deterrent effect of the Bomb was (along with the conventional forces) entirely effective at preventing a Soviet invasion of Europe beyond the WW2 surrender lines.

Fourthly, the whole subject of secret superweapons is skewered most entertainingly by Dr Strangelove (1964) : "the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost....if you KEEP IT A SECRET!"
No, but we’re just quietly working and using our macs. There’s obviously a problem, but it’s not the end of the world.
"Republican leadership for some time. Part of the Republican agenda seems to be downplaying the notion of climate change"

Republicans believe in climate change. They just think paper straws are not going to fix the problem. Republicans think there is nothing they can do to stop China from producing massive amounts of carbon emissions. Republicans don't control Louisiana - so your entire narrative is wrong.

(I am not a Republican).
With HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE and HOMEBREW_NO_GITHUB_API, it still gobbles up a core for a full minute to find a substring in a list of strings. Even if it looks through directories for this, I can't imagine how this task would perform so badly. It's not system cpu time primarily.
People still bringing up the Magic Mouse.

The idea is you weren't supposed to leave it plugged in.

2 hours of charging = 2 months of use so it's not like charging was supposed to be a regular occurrence.

After a brief period of time when the cold war was over and the threat of imminent nuclear annihilation at least seemed to be a thing of the past, the people of the US collectively decided that there just weren't enough existential threats in their lives and elected morons to make things more interesting.
I'm interesting in the claim regarding Zoom being head-and-shoulders above Google's product. Hangouts is certainly well past it's EOL but the Google Meet product (focused on the enterprise product) works very well and seamlessly integrates into the gsuite set of applications while also providing a great in-room experience.

I haven't personally used Zoom rooms (have connected to some via a laptop though). I have deployed and used Google Meet's in-room experience for a number of years... I suspect the combination of in-room and mobile workers is the key selling point around these products. Zoom have managed to tap that market very successfully while Google still struggle with selling their solution (despite it being very effective) - they seem to fail at making people aware it even exists.

Anyone deployed both? What has the experience been? Pain points of deploying / operating sizeable fleets of either product?
How do we know Earth even has nuclear weapons anymore?

For one thing it was very close to the open source estimate, meaning the number is consistent with other publicly known facts about the program.

There also isn't any real gain from keeping the total number secret above the advantage that keeping their location secret gives. Not disclosing totals probably doesn't even make napkin level invasion planning harder since at that level reasonable estimates will do.

On the other hand it does make you a more suspicious actor in the strategic game as hiding harmless information is a clear sign of paranoia.
> Grandma can't compile and install OpenWRT packages. The idea is to let developers create apps (server apps) that anyone, especially Grandma, can install on their router. The experience should be similar to installing apps on iOS or Android phones.

Does grandma even _want_ to install packages on their router (which is likely a modem combo provided by the cable company), let alone know what a router is? Grandma wouldn't even be able to get her shows if she messed with the MoCa for FiOS, for example.
Yes - in my case the "users" are just my colleagues (and yes, they could get angry, but the feedback can be worth it).

I believe that "trunk" is not commonly meant to be immediately deployed to users. But, maybe things are different in the web world, where "deploy" is as easy as "upload to server"?
I'm confused. You mean like on a wired mouse, where the cord is constantly exposed to the strain of the movement and is typically just fine for many many years? I have Microsoft Intellimouse devices which are many years old and work perfectly. The differences between a USB plugged in cable and a permenantly attached cable don't seem relevant in this instance.

>The idea is you weren't supposed to leave it plugged in.

The idea is I don't care about the idea. If I forgot to charge it, or come back from holidays and it's off, I want to be able to plug in and still work.

Like with every other mouse.

Not to mention: when the charge lasts so long (2 months) it's even easier to forget to recharge it and take it for granted. Unlike something you need to charge e.g. daily or so, this is something that stays out of your mind for months on end -- until it fails.

Do you have any plans to handle deposits in currencies other than USD? We’re US-based but receive a fair amount of payments from customers in EUR and we also have obligations in EUR so we’re looking for a way to avoid going from EUR to USD on deposit and back to EUR on payment.
Maybe I was too flippant. I apologize if it seemed mean spirited. My broader point is that not everything needs to be critiqued, especially when it's just someone sharing their life experiences. Specifically:

"I had a great setup but I'm giving it up to take a risk."

The author didn't say that he was taking on a tremendous risk. In fact, his follow-up article linked at the bottom explicitly acknowledges his goal of insulating himself from any consequential harm. The above interpretation seems like a projection on your part.

"talking about how much money you'd give up to feel motivated is pretty explicitly signalling success to other people in the "I earn enough to be able to talk about it like this" group. That's just upper-middle class signalling.

The author is just sharing his thoughts and life experiences. If you think he's lying or faking it to stroke his ego, go ahead and call him out on it. But otherwise, this criticism feels very hollow and vacuous. Everything can be construed as signalling - should people really not talk about their thoughts and experiences because it would be construed as signalling?
Those arguments are very easy to parry. Even in the scenarios where Soviets got a bomb, I believe keeping it secret would've been of great military value

And remember, Soviets gave no shit about the nuke even after first hydrogen bomb test, thinking of it as an impractical weapon. Were not its use in war, Soviet nuclear project could've ended just being a stack of documents on the shelf without political backing, and them not fully realising how to deal with being attacked themselves.

Imagine yourself in such a situation:

You encounter robbers on the street, they demand money. You know for sure that you will either be robbed and killed after you give money, or be killed and then robbed if you don't give them money and try defending yourself.

Now, will you threaten them retaliation from the start, brandishing your weapon, or hide the weapon and play an easy victim until the very last moment, to try your chance in a surprise attack when they let their guard down?

Sure, do end up with hundreds of commits where any given combination of feature flags fails, except sometimes the default.

Seriously, this is the quintessential Gentoo Linux problem. Nobody can test all the combinations making the flags almost instantly useless. (And some essentially forced on.)
Does this apply to users who are logged in with a G Suite account?

I pay Google $12/month for services and although I am happy enough with their combined product right now, I have an easy migration path away from G Suite if that changes.
As I understand it, the so called KANYON/Poseidon nuclear torpedo is likely a real project, albeit with somewhat exaggerated capabilities. The Project 09852 / Belgorod submarine is certainly real, and there is some reason to believe it is being created in part to carry and launch those massive torpedoes.

But supposing its claimed capabilities were accurate, 10,000 km at 100 km/h would take the torpedo over four days. The original claim of 185 km/h is much faster, but travel time would still be measured on the order of days. It's fast enough to be very noisy but slow enough to be seen coming days away; totally nonsensical for a first strike weapon. The conclusion is that if such a torpedo is in development, it's intended as a retaliation weapon.
Maybe the student thought that it was a normal flash drive and tried to find a working computer that can open it?

Also, isn't ten years too much for just destroying a property? It's not like anyone got hurt.
>A plug that allowed you to continue to use the mouse wouldn't stand up to the stress and strain of being dragged around your desk.

Plugs not being able to stand up the stress and strain were never Apple's concern.

Apple cables (for lighting, charing MBPs, etc) have easily strained since time immemorial.
If this became a rampant issue, maybe it would be time to rethink the law? Discretion allows abuse. Laws that are not applied uniformly run counter to the notion of "Rule of Law".

It’s not just the keyboard, either. I’ve been buying Macs since they switched to Intel in 2006 and the most recent MacBook Pros are the most problematic I’ve ever had.

- Bluetooth seems to be fundamentally flawed at a hardware level. AirPods, Plantronics, doesn’t matter. It just randomly connects and disconnects as it pleases.

- USB-C dongles are a minefield of poor functionality

However, I’ve run Linux off and on since 2007 and Windows for 20+ years and I still wouldn’t give up macOS as my daily driver. Even with the issues above it still has an excellent display, I like the keyboard (waiting to start having issues), and the battery life is the best I’ve ever had.

I’m glad to hear desktop Linux works for some people, but I just don’t have time to a.) tune and configure it to work and have decent battery life with whatever hardware I choose or b.) troubleshoot it when it randomly decides to break itself on update.
Can echo this... Have been running a linux desktop for 10+ years and google meet is one of the few systems I don't have issues with.

The drawback is that Chrome is a requirement for some functionality which kind of sucks. But I think that's particularly because they have been in the driving seat with webrtc for years and have implemented things in Chrome to test the water before proposing it as part of the standards.

Also, remember when they

Has anyone done any studies on the effect of the change at HN?

Ir seems like it would be a really rich dataset. On the simple side of the analysis is simply what it did to the vote counts. Did they stay the same, or go down? What happened to the ratio?

I went for a Yoga 730 2-in-1. Superior to Macbook Air in every aspect other than having to deal with Windows - but with MacOS quality dropping and Windows improving on the WSL front the tradeoff is now worth it to me.
And after 2 months, the charge depletes when you need it the most and now you can't use the mouse (even in a handicapped state where you plug it in and use it at the same time) since the stupid charging port is on the bottom instead of being literally anywhere else.

That palm rest corner is razor sharp even compared to earlier MBP designs, and it finally made me get a silicone palm/lower arm rest.

It is probably the best purchase I’ve made the last few years, I’m so happy with it every single day and it just makes working with laptops such a joy.

Make sure to get an extra wide one, mine is something like 70cm wide and I can keep my mouse and laptop a good distance apart and have the silicone support under both my arms.
But what about this other thing?
Note that there's a vaguely popular site named ‘icons8’ on about the same topic, so some confusion might ensue in the future.

We had made an ill-considered deal with Sun Microsystems for a bunch of workstations maybe 18 months before they went away for good.

Clubs and agents can use it for scouting and player valuation, managers can use it for team selection, and anyone can use it to follow a current player's effectiveness on the field (paying customers get access to ~250,000 players globally).

As for "influence", our model measures the amount a given player impacts their team's odds of winning. Players with higher scores are more likely to tilt the odds in their team's favor when they're on the field.

We created this metric because most soccer models focus on discrete event statistics (passes, shots, expected goals, saves, blocks, etc) that paint an incomplete picture of a player's absolute quality.

There are some players (like the players currently in positions 3-6 in kxrank's top 100 list) who don't stand out statistically, but whose teams nevertheless are substantially more likely to win when they're playing versus when they're on the bench.

Does this answer your question(s)? Do you think we can document this better on the site?
