I can think of a couple of things off the top of my head:

- You can reject numbers that start with 2,4,5,6 or 8 since their reverse won't be prime.

- If you're searching through a range of numbers for emirps avoid checking for the same pair twice. For example if you start at 1 and check for emirps, by the time you're checking 311 you've already checked 113 so you don't need to check 311.

I use Syncthing¹ for years now, mainly to sync the notes I write on my phone to my laptop and vice versa, but also as a way to sync my photos to my PC. Or as a way to sync my keepass password safe to other locations.

It only really works when two of the sharing machines are online at the same time. I work around this by having a rasperry pi running 24/7 which does it's thing.

I always tried to avoid cloud based services, because I don't want to keep thinking about whether I can trust cloud providers and I kinda like the idea of a LAN beeing used for LAN things – you know.. local stuff.

I don't think your numbers make sense. As far as I now the world needs around 22000TWh a year and Germany produced around 220TWh just with renewables alone which is enough to reach your 1% claim.
Why are people assuming that they don't use feature detection just because they have a warning based on UA-sniffing?

Saying that an unknown browser is "unsupported browser" is not the same as saying that "it will break. we will deliberately disable the feature". All it means is "We don't know what this browser is. We have never tested on it. we will not pay as much attention is this unknown browser break".

Just because a browser passes features detection doesn't mean they don't have bugs or weird behaviors.

Why do people assume that Google doesn't both, using feature detection to enable features and also display warning if the user is user some browser they don't know and can't guarantee that they ever test on it.

> Every time this subject comes up, someone inevitably says something like "Facebook is a private corporation, the first amendment only applies to the government..." ... Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter are basically monopolies.

For this reason, I see Facebook's blocking of specific voices as a potentially positive trend. There used to be a credible hypothesis that social media platforms could be neutral, many hoped this would be the case. However, it's now becoming clear that the hypothesis is wrong.

Social media platforms are not neutral, nor should they be. If Fox News can cater to pro-Trump voices, and NY Times can cater to pro-democrat voices, Facebook and other social media companies should also be allowed to regulate the content on their platform.

The fact that Facebook is now taking an editorial stand, and rejects the premise of being the platform for everyone, will allow other companies to fill the remaining space. I look forward to the day when Facebook chooses to focus on sharing family photos and inconsequential personal minutiae, and delegates all politics and news to other services.

And for good reason. A responsible supervisor will typically give PhD students tasks that he has already "kind-of / sort-of" worked out as feasible. I once read the following recommendation for how to set dissertation subjects, I can't recall by whom.

- BSc thesis: what I can do over lunch

- Master thesis: what I could do in an afternoon

- PhD thesis: what I could do in a week

(Here the figures don't mean typing, programming etc, but the core intellectual work). After having supervised nearly 200 theses are BSc, Masters and PhD level, I must agree, this is a pretty great heuristic.

Note: there are exceptions. Some PhD theses go way beyond this, but those are rare. I have no idea about Yuan Cao's work, discussed here.
I don't care if Facebook is a monopoly -- they are an advertising business and their incentives are fundamentally misaligned to serve as a public institution. Even if they weren't a monopoly, if they were the darling of the world in terms of PR, they're still the wrong organization to serve public needs.

If people think we should have digital public spaces, then we should be paying for it as a public. We have parks and plazas where people can congregate, so why not government funded servers for hosting chat?
To be fair, it's not clear how these devices work. It sounds like they are taking a photo, submittiting it to an API and waiting for a result. However FTA linked in the Twitter exchange "preloaded photo databased of all the passengers".

It implies that the devices that JetBlue are using for boarding, already have all the photos in them. If this hardware belongs to JetBlue (rather than CBP/DHS/etc), then one would be correct in saying that JetBlue has the passengers photos. So we really don't know either way how this works.

I'll also add my personal anecdote: Recently I flew internationally out of SFO (I live in the Bay Area) and CBP was there to take "exit photos" of everyone with similar style devices. This was not part of the boarding pass process as we still had to do scan tickets afterwards.

I know it's not quite the same thing, but most countries in the EU have no passport control upon exiting or entering the country as long as it's within the Schengen zone.

So France has basically no idea who shows up from Germany or leaves via Belgium. The countries on the external borders are supposed to handle all that.

Now I suppose it's possible there is a lot of data exchanged in real time and so on, but it's also possible that is a complete mess and nobody really knows anything, especially about citizens (GDPR).
Hi Joey

I, too, miss Inbox. I tried DarwinMail, but couldn't get it to work for me - I'm using Firefox, and when I tried to allow access, it appeared to work (DarwinMail had access according to my google account), but going back to the site said 'give access' and I went in a loop.

I'm not going to use Chrome (I know this is somewhat pointless as I'm still using gmail...), so is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong?
This article is rather confused. First, just because processing is distributed doesn't mean that there aren't different areas of the brain that are more involved in certain things. The visual cortex is pretty clearly for vision for example.

Second, they seem to be saying that AI is not like the brain because it is a "switch" (what?) and doesn't have distributed processing/representations like the brain? Or something? It's hard to know what they're trying to say because it doesn't make any sense.

Not sure which special interest group is sending the hate. This is a fact of life in the utility industry. People want power 24/7 and wind and solar don’t produce power if it’s dark or calm. Pretty useless during nighttime and wintertime.

Natural gas powerplants are running when these renewables are not. This whole dog and pony show is much more expensive and carbon intensive than nuclear.

Actually, a city square does exactly that, amplify your voice to all those that pass. The difference is that there are many city squares to stand in, whereas there are only a handful of social media companies. The problem here is Facebook's monopoly power, not the medium of communication.

> I think a pro-tem solution is a law allowing a patient to waive all rights to sue in return for been able to use a device.

My proposed solution is to make the FDA optional. If somebody elects to use a non-FDA approved device or substance, that's their decision to make -- not a group of faceless bureaucrats in Washington D.C. New regulatory institutions should be permitted to form, and so long as they're transparent about their process, and sellers are honest about who they've been audited b, false advertising and other species of fraud can be dealt with in the courts. People ought to be free to choose for themselves which institutions to trust and which to be skeptical of.

As soon as an institution becomes involuntary, it becomes immune to rational inquiry and revision. "Because we said so" is the ultimate axiom of any idea enforced by the FDA - if any individual disagrees with their thinking, well too bad you have to do as they say, regardless. Independent thought is the foundation of all truth, so its not really a mystery why domains where its illegal to disagree with the status quo, like medical regulation, are so fucked up.
They generally produce power when it's needed most. Also the percentage of energy renewables produce on a given day follows a nornmal distribution. There will be a few extremely bad days and a few extremely good days in a year but most of the time they produce exactly how much they should. So why does it matter if they have to use gas as backup power if it is only needed for a few days in the year?

An irreverent remark on Hacker News! Attack! Attack!
For the systems architect example, I'd like to suggest for discussion an (opinion-heavy) point between the two you mentioned:

* Admit mistakes freely. It's the right thing to do, it's good for the culture, and anyone you should want to work with will respect that, and also do it themselves. People usually pick up on actual culture quickly.

* Do appropriate engineering diligence and responsibility, not CYA. This includes identifying and clearly communicating tradeoffs and risks, and discussing with others. Sometimes you will be vulnerable to a hypothetical party who might try to throw you under the bus, but you should avoid organizations where that's a likely consideration. If an organization is doing bad things, and it goes to the top and can't be fixed -- the concern is not to CYA while you stay, but to leave.

* Avoid situations in which "conversations that, reported to HR out of context, could be career-ending". That means avoiding organizations with HR that is feared rather than respected, and it occasionally might mean considering how a conversation could sound, out of context. (For the latter, I'm thinking scenarios like mutual joking among colleagues, then one person complains -- you never want to be giving a deposition of what everyone said about each other's mothers. I'm not talking about work-related things: if discussing work with your team can be career-ending, maybe you're in a bad organization, and/or doing something bad.)

* Avoid organizations that have been caught treating employees badly, yet who ask for employees to be "vulnerable". And where executives don't lead by example. The entire organization might not be onboard with being a safe place, and wanting others to be "vulnerable" might be a euphemism for "exploitable by me". (Advisors might've been sincere when they came up with the "vulnerable", but the necessary "safe place" precondition got lost along the way.) Be honest, trustworthy, diligent, responsible, and at times humble, foster mutual trust among colleagues, but be skeptical of anything that looks like a wolf asking hens to be vulnerable.

It's not an in-depth article, but it does make an important point: That we actually understand very little of how our brain really works.

People here on HN used to have a lot of discussions about uploading brains, neuro-preservation, simulating brains, etc. The implicit assumption was always that we already have a pretty solid understanding of how the brain works (it's just a neural network) and we just need to solve a few minor problems (just take a snapshot of all the synapses and we're good to go!).

The truth is, of course, that we have no clue if a neural network even is a good model beyond the most simple circuits (like certain reflexes), and scientists are still scratching the surface.
I take a break, just walk away from it and yes the duration you can walk away from it is inversely proportional to how much you are paid to solve it!

That is precisely the reason why I have learnt to work on multiple projects,3-4 at a time, so I can safely switch when things have got hard and somehow a decent duration (week or two) gives me the insight to unblock it. I know it is anecdotal but it has worked out well so far.
OT also works fine for this sort of stuff. OT algorithms are easier to implement ([1] for an implementation I wrote of OT over arbitrary JSON structures). OT just requires a central source of truth / a central authority. For local first stuff depending on how you design it you can have one of those - in the form of your server.

There are lots of reasons that open borders might not be a good idea. There are certainly reasonable arguments in favor of them as well. But if you're not going to have open borders, then you have to deport some number of people.
