I guess what I'm saying is that HN should not penalize the company doing the journalism. People can buy a subscription, those that won't still have a technical solution, and for the rest they can google like you did and find an article to read among the blogspam.
Wow. This comment may change my life
You miss the point.

And you are missing it because you're OK with jamming your code right inside 400 times more foreign code in order to display a cute window with two panes in it.

Do please make a civil effort to understand there's people who are not ok with it.
People like OP, who feels devoting 47 bibles of code to displaying a taskbar widget is not OK.

Or like me, who actually likes to know exactly what is my code doing.
I'm running Android 9 on my OnePlus One (2014) through LineageOS and it feels smooth as always.
This announcement is an example of why I am not using ProtonMail anymore. There are a lot of things they do that sound very good on marketing materials, but upon examination are security theater.

For example, they claim, "We have chosen a particular elliptic curve system known as X25519, which is fast, secure, and particularly resistant to timing attacks. It’s simple to implement".

However, previously they've said that they use Indutny's library [0]. This library is somewhat infamous because its leadership deciding to discard any pretense of defending against timing attacks on the grounds that would make the library "too slow." [1]

There are other options. They could have used something with good timing attack resistance from WebCrypto. Those options exist. Folks with more skill than I have recommended P-256 as an option.

Another reason I think is in China the search engines have been terrible since the beginning. For example even if your search query is as specific as "ACME inc. of AAA city in BBB province" , it would be your lucky day if the first two result pages have that company's web site. What you get mostly are paid ads and shitty seo stuff. It's been like this to this day.

So not being able to rely on search, people have to memorize companies' urls, to type them into address bar and pass along to others the actual url string. Internet companies are forced to display them predominantly in ads. So a domain name that is cute/easy(often costing ridiculus amount) is all that more important in China than elsewhere.

Google please come back, it will be a net gain for humanity.
A hypothesis it is, but something about this study got me https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/cea.12527
It's definitely a concern.
American companies do that because americans spend more.

Gdp per capita here is larger. This is one main reason. As a percent ot their income, i dont know how people compare on their spending across different countries.

Moderation isn't really censorship IMO, if a comment was deleted that would be censorship. Or, if you were prevented from reading downvoted comments then I would qualify that as censorship as well.

It's subjective in some ways which makes the discussion complicated.
Are you sure about this? From the article:

>Quite why the sea-ice platform on the edge of the Brunt shelf has failed to regenerate is unclear. There is no obvious climate signal to point to in this case; atmospheric and ocean observations in the vicinity of the Brunt reveal little in the way of change.
I'd say in general terms including conventional vehicles and not only EVs.
Why, do you think? Because they reasoned that in the mind, everything can refer to anything else?
I’d argue that tablature is terrible for transposition as well in most cases, sure you can just +/- N semitones from each fingering in the ideal case but that breaks down as soon as you have voicings or melodies with open strings and need to transpose down e.g. a half step. Capo at 11 gives a very different character.

I have seen a Tesla performance model described as a machine to convert money into smiles.

It does.
> there wasn't much meaningful difference in the experience between my Nexus 7 running Marshmallow and my S8+ phone with the Pie update.

Reading this on a Nexus 5, running marshmallow. I stopped upgrading when I stopped seeing a reason to, now I just get the old models on the cheap and only occasionally wonder if I'm missing out.

In those moments I'll remember your comment, stop wondering, and continue treating my phone like the sub-$200 commodity that it is. Thanks.
The most retarded thing of app updates is that they happen even if you are using the app. In other words, the app you are using in the foreground can be updated (and therefore killed) at any time.
This will raise pay... for the drivers who don't strike and so are working when the inevitable surge pricing turns on.
We don't even know if our brain even has a uniform perception of time (outside of the cultural definition), let alone what that might be. It's all guesswork anyway.
I'm 33, switched to emacs the end of the last year, still find the way that vim edit files better, but the ecosystem around emacs has a ton of niceties, so for me the solution was to install evil-mode and configure it to work as close as possible to my vim configuration, but in the end I decided to left some things the emacs way.

Now I sometimes find myself using some of the emacs shortcuts when editing files with vim...
okta?
How about academic research into the value of academic research in programmer job success?

I figure that eventually it'll be similar to the Voight-Kampff test and kept on file forever while being shared with all potential employers.

HN moderators absolutely remove comments and threads.
Disable JS globally and whitelist specific pages.
Right, as would all statements of lack of consciousness in anything. That way lies panpsychism. Which of course is a valid belief.
Exactly. Just look at IBM Watson. That project started as some machine learning technology until the huge enterprise marketing arm got ahold of it, and then they began repositioning what are essentially shell scripts and regular expressions parsing data into "Watson XXX Vertical AI"
This looks like more a company specific issue rather than issue with broader market.
But I see the point of the author's idea of mixing all the tasks together: To be able to answer the question "what's the most important thing I should be working on now (across all projects)?".
Hailing back to microeconomics 101, won't this cause a sharp decrease in supply, causing an increase in price and higher wages for those who find it economically-sensible to continue providing service in these cities until S&D equilibrium is met again?
> Because since those libraries are not built-in types, you always need to convert back to a ptr and length values at some point when interoperating with other C code.

And that's exactly why C wins, in my opinion. Because that means interoperability.

Storing a pointer + length pair in a fixed layout struct is bad from a normalization standpoint. They are independent data. If you don't separate them you will end up with data redundancies as soon as you have parallel arrays. If you use dynamic vectors and in C++ or similar languages and you ask yourself which is the object that you should call .size() on, that's when you notice that it's morally wrong to bundle pointer + length.

What stops you from putting everything in a folder called App drawer, except the most used apps you want on your desktop?
Uber loses billions of dollars a year subsidizing drivers in the hopes that autonomous vehicles or some powerful network effect will save their business. What more do drivers want? Even if Uber gave all of their equity to their drivers, that would be a one time payment of an illiquid security worth $25,000.
Well, I guess that that would be the next step.

Another problem is that the minute that AI-proof clothing goes mass market is the minute it stops working (and for that reason, I suppose that you wouldn't want to have a product image, either.)
> Folding arbitrary pile of laundry completely unsupervised is super hard computing and robotics problem

FTFY. And the business proposition isn't "limited", it's stupid. An attempt to throw technology somewhere it cannot compete.

The opportunity cost for that $16k is paying somebody minimum wage to fold clothes for you for over 2000 hours. That would last a family of four about 38 years (just folding). Cleaners, housekeepers, nannies, etc all offer this sort of service, and more. Cleaning, ironing, folding, putting away and because of the lack of skills, and the availability of people to do it, they usually can't charge that much for it.

This robot took up a ton of space, barely worked by all accounts, did untold damage to clothes that got caught, and didn't do any other part of the cycle. I don't know how you can call that a proposition. It's neat but it's not saleable.

I appreciate that you did not double down. That's rare around here.
Humans and some animals are also vulnerable to optical illusions. The unusual thing about this category of "AI optical illusion" is that it's nonlocal - having the patch in the frame defeats recognition of other objects.
One major issue with the iOS client is that it cannot handle more than one Inbox. So, if you use two accounts (e.g. home and work), you can only be logged in in one at a time, and have to go through the full sign-in-sign-out process each time you want to switch. And my understanding is that the iOS app doesn't actually cache email offline, so it's not terribly possible to work on an airplane, etc.

Also, understand that due to the encrypted nature, you can't just point an IMAP client at their servers. They offer separate software to serve as a bridge, but it's complicated. So, you are only using their web interface. They don't offer a native app for OS X, even. So again, no offline mail processing.

I recently put serious thought into moving my personal and business presences to PM to support the idea and normalize serious encryption, but ultimately felt like my need of the security it provides doesn't justify the complexity and UX compromises it forces. But ymmv.
Even today infrastructure can be dirt roads and people extracting gold etc via hand tools.

You can find examples of the resource curse going back to the spice trade. It’s an issue of trade more than anything else. After all, a tiny kingdom only has so much use for copper or whatnot on it’s own.
I use Markdown and find it quite useful, even with its problems (which the article does a good job of describing -- the main one being "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from".)

Apropos of GitHub pages (which I use to host my blog), are you aware that it is possible to generate HTML locally from Markdown, and then publish the generated HTML? FWIW, Octopress (http://octopress.org/docs/deploying/github/) does this (I didn't even realize at first that was what was happening), and that happily insulates you from any changes in GitHub's Markdown support -- as long as your local toolchain remains consistent, content should be rendered the same.
... it's not like his right-wing politics are repugnant. Come on.
So you're telling me an OS with 1.2+ billion users has bugs? I'm shocked! :)

On a more serious note, Microsoft is (was?) famous for its QA processes. They have (had?) huge computer farms, tens of thousands of machine to be able to QA with every strange configuration out there. Windows, despite the hate it gets, is one of the most QAd pieces of software out there.

And considering the shoddy architecture it has to support for backwards compatibility (CP/M, MS-DOS, Win32), it works amazingly well.
I use it and love it, even after binding Caps Lock to Esc.

The only issue I have is when I type something that ends with j or k and immediately want to exit insert mode. e.g. if I type "ack" and then mash jk to leave insert mode. Sometimes the j will hit first and only "ac" is left in the buffer.

That happens rarely though, and sometimes now I'll know it's going to happen and consciously type "ackkj" or just pause a beat to ensure the right thing happens.

> But I suggest that the world would be much better if everyone went even 50% RMS.

I disagree. Stallman infuriates and disappoints just as much as he inspires. He often comes off as rambling and intransigent. Years ago I found an open letter to him that I found reasonable[1]. Near the end, the writer considers how Stallman’s way of presenting an argument is harmful to his goal:

> Dr. Stallman, I have a tremendous amount of respect for your contributions to GNU, emacs and gdb amongst others. You are a man of considerable intellect and programming ability. That said, I nor the people that I spoke with about your talk found you to be a particularly charismatic or persuasive speaker. The only people that seemed convinced by your speech were the ones who had already been leaning towards your point of view to start with. Several friends of mine who had not heard of the FSF before left half way through because they were so put off by some of conspiratorial rhetoric above.

Stallman’s reply was a single line:

> I am skeptical of advice from people who disagree with what I stand for.

Stallman isn’t a paragon or righteousness. He’s a rambling human with as many biases and unreasonable obsessions as the next person. He makes me question if he really wants to change the behaviour of the masses, or if he just wants to mock and deride what he doesn’t like. If he’s going for the former, he’s doing an awful job; you don’t convince people to change their views with aggressiveness and ridicule. If he’s going for the latter that’s his prerogative, but it’s not my belief that people like that are beneficial to the world.

There was a trend in San Francisco (and probably elsewhere) about 10 years ago for clothing with really complicated and brightly colored small repeating designs on, almost like kindergarden childrenswear.
You'd see sketchy looking people in the tenderloin and market street wearing them. I asked a lawyer about it and apparently it made identification in court cases harder, because you could argue over whether the colorful hoodie the accused was wearing had aircraft or birds on it, and were they green or blue etc while seen at the crime scene by witnesses.
I wouldn’t actually make much sense to earn even, say, 10x as much as normal for 12h, if by doing so you lower your chance of even marginal (but lasting) improvements in working conditions.

It would also show how selfishness hurts you in the long term, and why unions are necessary to establish balance of power in negotiations.
I think I based my initial thoughts on this paper (or a citation of):

Has an “Uber strike” ever caused anything except a temporary surge price? Suppose there are a million drivers and this convinces 50,000 not to drive no matter how high the surge gets... I wonder if there’s even 50,000 drivers who would resist a 2x surge.
This is my advice for someone who didn't success as a software engineering major in University but ended up making a career out of it anyways.

Focus more on the concepts and less on the syntax. Have the student make up their own syntax for the concepts. That will verify they know the concept.
A modern take on a classical 3D mapping pipeline
It is currently manufacturered in Fremont California. Nothing in Fremont is cheap, it is no different than manufacturing in Manhattan, since employees need to pay for super high housing costs and deal with high costs of doing business.

Manufacturing in China could bring the cost down significantly, with lower wages, taxes, material costs, etc.
So we should focus on "how things sound", to the exclusion of any judgment about the actual facts on the ground? That can't be right. Culture matters, even many left-wingers will agree about this. Muslim cultures, by and large (there are of course all sorts of exceptions, among which Malaysia is especially notable) have rather specific problems with the values and norms that are commonly enforced there, that aren't even related to the religion of Islam per se. And Scruton is clearly aware of this, so by disregarding these things you're essentially misrepresenting his actual views.

> Losing one breeding attempt is not that big a deal - despite all the apparent "OMG, think of the penguins". If this event becomes more common as a result of climate change then that is another matter.

The article literally says this event will become more common due to warming and that 50-70% of the species will die off by the end of the century.
I'm not saying that Musk has solved fsd or that he will in the near future, but if you asked anyone with experience building cell phones in 2006 if the iPhone was possible they would have said absolutely not. Technological progress is inherently unpredictable even for experts. Musk has some really good people working for him and their datasets get bigger every day, I wouldn't rule Tesla out just yet.

How do you know that what you say about consciousness isn’t just a language game you play where you define words in terms of other words that are hardly connected to anything?

“What it is like to be a bat”

“What it is like to experience something”

After having seen descriptions of all the physical components of experience:

“It is Qualia! What it is like to see red”

Having been described all the differences between sensing red and green, and people who can’t tell the difference, and the suggestion that maybe what you call consciousness is the collection of abilities to distinguish various things...

“No, it is something more”.

What is it? How is that different than saying there is a “true essence” of a thing, over and above its properties? This is what greek philosophers asked about.

“It is the sense of identity. Integrating into one experience.”

Ok so what about Theseus’ ship? If all the cells are being replaced? What about your gut brain? Coukd it have a separate consciousness living in the same body?

“These are interesting questions”.

Here is a statement I will make:

If you are careful to define your words unambgiously, in terms of RICH connections to other concepts, you will find that you won’t be able to ask a single question about the following subjects without having a straightforward and simple reductionist-sounding answer:

Morality

Consciousess

Existence
Even if you believe in panpsychism, there are good reasons to doubt a computer has anything beyond micro-experiences. You can't solve the binding-problem (for example, your left and right visual fields are unified as a coherent whole) with discrete parts.
I like protonmail and will likely move my domains to it. I don't use it for regular social, dating, or sales emails because it is a privacy brand that creates cognitive friction with people who don't get privacy and security.

If I wanted to grow protonmail, I would emphasize users moving domains to it because while the brand has exceptional trustworthiness, anything security and privacy themed runs into the "tacti-cool," problem, where even if it's the best available and used by real operators, it triggers peoples sense of illegitimacy, and depends with users who identify with a "rebel," e.g. "losing" team who are not attractive to other users.

IMO, the same problem killed Silent Circle, and the rest of the cryptophone market.

When you look at who overcame the tacti-cool problem in security and privacy, the way a brand like arcteryx did it in clothing, Apple's iPhone has done it in hardware, WhatsApp did it for messengers, and protonmail is just on the cusp of it.

There is an opportunity to build a new privacy brand that would be as big as a FAANG, and if I were running it, I'd fold protonmail into it.
> Can you give an example of a bill where Dems attached a universal free federal ID rider?

Because IDs are a State thing? States issue IDs (except for Passports, which the Feds issue). The Feds can't make the States issue IDs to everyone.

One of the big oppositions to ID laws is that it unfairly hurts poor voters more than rich ones. If you look at the demographic without IDs, they're mostly poor, rural or a marginalized community like native Americans.
Pinterest is a visual search engine, not a social network. Comparing it to SNAP or Facebook valuation is missing the entire point.

I think Pinterest has other problems - mostly a market based on manipulating it - but hell so does google but google is further along in tech/services to increase quality.

What i really can't stand about pinterest is that even though it is a visual search - it requires an obscene amount of work from creators to be competitive - having to update your "pins" monthly and cycle them through and do A/B testing all the meanwhile others are stealing or borrowing your pins to enter those search terms/markets it creates a downward spiral - soon topics look spammy and only those who can afford to commit so much time/effort see the reward - then they turn around and start a business selling their idea.

No one looks at your boards anymore, they all search so people stuff their boards to find every variation of keyword and its starting to surface up to the search meaning searches get spammed by those who got there first rather than those most relevent.
