My father has a sailing boat which needs maintenance like a house and a car, since you can live on it and it has motors, except you're fighting against corrosion and water all the time. He does a fair share himself but crucial stuff (hull, sealings, ...) is safer when done by pros. And equipment is outrageously expensive : Sails ? 10k. Desalination machine ? 15k and so on...

Would a Psion-like PDA like the Cosmo Communicator [1] be a more workable solution compared to a hard-to-engineer folding screen? When closed, the PDA acts like a phone. When you open it, you have a bigger screen and a keyboard for entry.

There are simply no metric which can automatically measure code/design quality. Here's how I feel about code/design quality:
1) How many files I need to open to understand what the code does (less is better)
2) How many times I have to jump to follow the execution path (less is better)
3) How easy can I remove or rewrite this piece of code

Why won't the US establish some sort of publicly funded national media agency?

Here's some countries that have publicly funded broadcasting networks, and still rank above the US on the 2018 Press Freedom Index (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index):

- France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_24
- UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC
- Netherlands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nederlandse_Publieke_Omroep_(o...
- South Korea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Broadcasting_System
- Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Broadcasting_Corporat...

It seems like it is viable to establish a publicly funded institution dedicated to national-local news. There is the Post Office and the DMV, so couldn't there also exist small offices of reporters and journalists to broadcast and publish news that is funded from taxes and public grants? Even if it is not as granular as the Post Office, there would at least be an agency responsible for the information and entertainment broadcast by the media network.

Additionally, there could exist public-private relationships similar to how the BBC operates BBC Studios, so there is still some incentive to run certain programs "like a business", so to speak.

Some kind of national media agency could also help disseminate government data to the public that is already being distilled and published by private news corporations. For example, a lot of "newsworthy" information or background comes from government sources, such as census data, economic data, and weather data. Journalists read and distill openly published government information to make it accessible to the public, and the government could do the same thing to put more effort into the 'public presentation' side of the information they produced.

There's no guarantee this would be 100% perfect; whether the news comes from the government or a corporation there's always uncertainty in bias and truth. Having a public news agency doesn't stop corporations from existing, it's just another network but with a public safety net. If people want the news, then deciding to use their tax dollars to fund public news is an available option.

The current state of public broadcasting in the US is pretty weak and detached: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_broadcasting#United_Sta...

Other than NPR and PBS, how often is public broadcasting (tv, internet, audio) actually watched or listened to in the US? It seems pretty low.

Public broadcasting networks like the BBC and CBC could be nit-picked, but overall they still produce some solid content that draws large audiences. BBC One and BBC Radio 1 are consistently good and interesting, even for a non-Brit.
This could also be used to kill off systems like SharePoint in many businesses and that would be great.

Seriously, its workflow engine has race conditions, randomly fails and has no transaction management. But there are few alternatives. I don't know why there hasn't been any real contender. You would need a full suite to challange it though.
I was a math major there. Each math professor had his own style for the smaller classes. There wasn't really a consistent teaching style for my classes except that they were challenging. Every student had to take a year of Calculus and a year of Physics and a semester of Chemistry among other general Institute requirements so the classes were very large, the teaching was top notch, and the problem sets were the first time most of the students had really been challenged at that level. Quizes and Exams were very hard.

However, first year Calculus is totally doable as long as you have a solid high school math background (polynomials, trig identities, etc). I recommend (and I'm not joking) buying the physical textbook and doing every problem--not every problem assigned--every problem in the book. This will take a few extra 8 hour days of work, but practice, practice, and more practice will make you faster and more able to do the test problems. You may not have a physical text book or you may not like the text in which case look for additional books to use. Schaum's Outlines for Calculus at various levels are good sources of problems to practice on and they have the answers to all problems in the back. Do every problem you can and get help to understand the one's that stump you. Do a few hundred more problems than your classmates and you can expect an A. Like golf, extensive practice will improve your test scores.

If you are unsure of your preparation for the course get Schaum's Outlines for the prerequisite course and do hundreds of review problems so you're ready for Calculus.

One other piece of trivial advice is to buy a ream or two of plain copier paper; loose paper always worked better than pads for me because it was less expensive and I could spread out my work. Write on only one side of each sheet, otherwise the flipping back and forth looking for some work you've already done is too distracting. Pages containing final answers to turn in for homework problems can be creased/folded along a vertical axis so they are easy to distinguish from the pages laid out for work on subsequent problems.

A 0.7mm mechanical pencil with a good sized eraser works well for lots of math (although some like yellow wood pencils). I learned to use ballpoint pens for math and engineering at MIT because crossing out is faster than erasing, but I believe that this is a minority opinion.

Given how "easy" the attack actually is, I see no reason to suspect a state actor. This is a genuine question: why don't people start by suspecting some kind of criminal organizations like the mafia instead?

> It definitely is a bigger issue, but i do think that AirBnB has to be held accountable as well.

Why? AirBnB only serves as a middleman. In order for any property to be listed in AirBnB's catalogue, the property owners need to put in the work themselves.

> I would have no problems with AirBnB if it was actually used for the initial problem that it tried to solve. But you do see people buying 2nd or 3rd property just to AirBnB it, and also not renting them to long term renters who actually live and work in the city.

You said it yourself: you see people buying property to rent.

Not AirBnB, but local residents.

Why is this AirBnB's fault?
As a Swiss I'm quite puzzled why the author thinks it is another language. The audio sample disproves the claim in the article that even with full command of French and Swiss-German, you can't understand it. Sure, it can be hard to follow, but the same is true for other dialects in the country.

I think given the title, "the Swiss language that few know", they should have picked Romansh. The fourth official language of Switzerland that got completely overlooked by the article. A descendant language of the spoken Latin language of the Roman Empire. Haven't met many people around the world who have heard of it.

I see why I can't find it. My company gmail has blocked labs, apparently.
I work at an Australian university that has a good reputation in China and so attracts many Chinese international students.
Possibly even 50% of the student population here is Chinese.
I've personally found them to be extremely polite, courteous and easy to deal with.

The only cultural differences that get on my nerves is rubbish disposal and sometimes Chinese men seem to be a little rough with their girlfriends (It's entirely possible I'm just misinterpreting what I'm seeing).
But if there is a location where a large number of Chinese people hang out, it will often be covered in trash and cigarette butts.

But I also remember a decade ago when the thing that annoyed everyone about Chinese people was constant spitting everywhere, yet that isn't really an issue anymore.
So I'm sure in time our cultures will synchronize further.

Disclaimer edit: I’m slightly uncomfortable making statements like this about a particular group of people. This sort of conversation on the internet can do downhill fast. So I want to emphasise that I’m just referring to differences in culture and that I’m optimistic these differences will resolve themselves organically.

No one at Google is going to recommend hiring you if they think you'll be in the bottom 50% of engineers at Google when you join. However, 50% of the people hired by Google end up in the bottom 50% of engineers. And frankly, hell there's plenty of jobs that don't require a rockstar. So in many ways you need to be better to get the job than to do the job.

Snoozing now fulfils most of these purposes for me - instead of having to keep "awaiting reply", etc. visible at all times, they simply disappear until they need my attention again. Starring them as a reminder as to why they need my attention is a good idea though.

The main feature I'm still missing is an easy way to add my own TODOs there. I currently send emails to myself, but that's quite cumbersome (press `c` for compose, enter my own email address, <Tab>, type reminder, <Ctrl>+<Enter> to send, `x` to select that email, then `b` to snooze it to the desired time - in Inbox, this would be `t`, type reminder, set snooze time, <Enter>).

They seem to really hate direct ports of their work.

Curiously, there is a thriving Super Mario 64 rom hacking community that is rarely hit with notices. Afaik, no one really knows why. There are 100+ games and even a nearly complete level editor. Even when Nintendo were demonetizing videos of their games, these were spared.
I am a Chinese and I travel sometimes. Never been to Europe or America (but I really hope so), I've been to lotsa attractions in China, Singapore, Malaysia, etc etc. And in every single place I've been, there are really a buttload of shitty Chinese tourists. They just randomly spit around, throw whatever they are holding into shrubs, talk real loud in public, and when it's crowdy, one will push another. IMO It's not a matter of Chinese government or something, at least not on this one... I myself guess the reason of this is even the Chinese economic boom made lots of people rich, it didn't really make most people civilized (and self-aware). Hopefully things will be better in future.
Ask HN: What is an ideal education to understand the bigger picture?
I've been thinking about this a lot during my time at University. An ideal education to understand how the world actually works and to make the best decisions in life is a very humanities based effort (compared to my major being CS). I'm curious to hear what you all think about the best ways to have a balanced education in college and what subjects/topics to self study. Or in the future, what would be the best general education for everyone to learn?

That old ambiguous word “make”, could be revenue, could be profit. Most likely revenue on a good day.

But your point stands money is made by businesses. For every smart person getting 500k a year salary there’s a business behind that salary with investors making even more.
It does mean something. I'll make two indicative points.

First, if I'm looking to make money that I want to put into global investment, it doesn't matter where I earn it. The absolute number is what matters. In reality, the number that matters is how much I can save, in absolute numbers, after taxes and cost of living have been deducted, but still the salary does not scale with cost of living. In that case, if I'm willing to maximize my investment, it's possible that I'm willing to move to the best paying country (i.e. the country where I can earn the maximum absolute number after taxes and cost-of-living has been deducted) for a while. "Global investment" may be quite broad and may include, for example, effective global altruism (i.e., asking the question "If I want to maximize my life's impact in improving others' lives, where should I work and where should I donate globally?").

Second, if we're talking about a job that is a seller's market, i.e., where I have has some very specialized skill, then the fact that the company is willing to pay double the amount if I happen to live in Silicon Valley but only half the amount if I happen to live in Romania, is pretentious. The reason is that the company is in need of my skill regardless of where I live and my acceptable business cost to them is a Silicon Valley salary. The difference from paying me less just because I happen to live in Romania is simply money that goes into their pockets. Why shouldn't it go into mine? In fact, if my skill is specialized enough, I should be able to negotiate for that, since their best next alternative may be a Silicon Valley hire.

(For clarity, the above are illustrative examples. I'm not an effective altruist, do not have such a specialized skill, and do not live in Romania.)
But also they decline because they are not read. What is the point of publishing newspapers that are not read anymore. Are we going to force people to read them?

On what basis do you decide that Apple doesn't pay it's 'fair share'? On the face of it they seem to pay a fair bit. They are the largest single tax payer in the world, with a global effective tax rate of 24.6%.

I'm sure there are some ways they minimise their tax bills, but it's not as though they don't pay tax or even pay very little tax overall.

Though both the FT and the Economist have moved from being a neutral, factual, solid source of news and analysis to become politically militant. That seems to have worked well for them in term of subscriptions but I no longer consider them as quality news.
How many (working!) C64 are in circulation though?

A random lawyer might not consider that, but if anyone thought this through? I don't think there's any measurable impact on any Nintendo business, at all. Maybe, _maybe_ the inverse: Support a fan project like this and the middle-aged C64 fan base - even those not owning one anymore - might be even more inclined to buy Nintendo products?

I hear that a lot but it's certainly not that black and white.

* Capcom for example allows fan games as long as you don't profit off them. There are a couple of Megaman games for example.

* Konami allowed the fan game "Castlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles 2" as long as they did not profit from the game.

* Valve allowed the HL fan game Prospect - https://store.steampowered.com/app/399120/Prospekt/

And there are other examples out there. Nintendo could perfectly allow it under certain conditions. Did Sega not work for Sonic Mania with somebody who made sonic fan games for example?

But keep convincing yourself that your kid has a dagger under your throat at the toy shop checkout and that people with more will power are assholes. I have been on the kid end at least even if not on the parent one. You seem to have been on neither.
You can find something to complain about in most touristy folk from any country. Italians and Spaniards are particularly loud, Americans are arrogant, expect everyone to speak English, etc.

But it is remarkable that even in Taiwan, obviously of Chinese culture, many ( and I could probably safely say 'most' instead of 'many' ) think of tourists from the mainland as a rough, rude, loud, and generally dirty bunch.

I checked out Eric's work just - he's doing an amazing job! Much more thought put into the subject (security for GLSL being a huge topic on its own). The lack of MMU in the VC4 architecture is a huge pain point that probably sucks up most engineering cycles when it comes to arbitrary application environments using GPU resources like X11 or Wayland - when memory runs out, what to do? You can throw engineering resources at it, but engineering talent really needs access to VMCS on the VideoCore side todo any worth while work.

When we ported Android to the VC4 architecture the first time (~2010), the low memory killer in Linux was subverted to understand to kill Android applications based on their use of the VideoCore GPU memory and it worked pretty well, yet it would still close the primary running app once in a while. Run monkey over Android and all hell broke loose - really tough situations to defensively code fore. For example, for CX reasons, you had to ignore some GLES errors in the primary client due to low memory, then the system had to kill another application that was using the memory, then it would kill the EGL context for the primary application so it would refresh the entire app lifecycle using an almost suspect code path inside Android. Good times! Imagine Wayload has very similar challenges for normal desktop use.
I would be careful to take that as more interest due to "westerism".
