This needs examples front and center.

Seriously, why is this not more common? When I go to your landing page I want to see how awesome your thing is. A few examples is all it takes.

Show me something like this

In[6]:= Derivative[1][Sin]

Out[6]= Cos[#1]&

In[7]:= Derivative[2][Sin]

Out[7]=-Sin[#1]&

Don't make me go to documentation. Also don't compare it to Mathematica if it isn't as intuitive as Mathematica (seriously, it is wildly popular because simple things you don't have to look up. It works like you expect. There was a lot of planning to make it this way. People note the "Zen" of Mathematica). Here's an example of where Mathics is non-intuitive (besides if you remove the [1] from the above example)

n[13]:= x = 5

Out[13]= 5

In[14]:= Derivative[1][x^2]

Out[14]= 25'

In[15]:= f[x] := x^2

In[16]:= Derivative[1][f]

Out[16]= 2 #1&

In[17]:= f'[x]

Out[17]= 10

I know no system is perfect, but try to sell me on your idea before I go through your documentation and get frustrated that it doesn't work like the thing you compare it to.
They stopped selling it, once the stockpile run dry and the demand didn't warrant making another batch. Which was when I found a shop with them in stock and bought three. I believe they'll stay supported for a while.

Minecraft has some of this mechanic built in as the benefit from eating sugary foods (cake, pumpkin pie, etc.) is much shorter than eating protein-rich foods. Since players stop healing as they experience hunger there is a real benefit to having better foods to eat.

> You say that like "tech giants" are a good thing.

What you see is that - if the Czech Republic would have their own tech giants - they wouldn't propose such an aggressive taxation towards it. It's why Germany was against such taxes because they fear repercussions towards their own industry.

> But a predatory attitude focused only on their own growth and "to hell with everyone else".

Such a predatory attitude also gets punished through free market forces. A company like Microsoft got severely punished for their predatory behaviors.

One of my favorite tech giants is 'Robert Bosch Stiftung' from Germany.

> Aside from that there are plenty of European tech companies (ASML, Logitech, Skype, Spotify, just to name a few)

ASML is the meager remnant of the once almighty Philips. Logitech is Swiss. Switzerland indeed does a better job providing a healthy climate for innovation. Skype is owned by Microsoft. Spotify is indeed a lovely company (worth protecting for sure).

> Europe lacks such a powerful "hub".

This is indeed a problem. San Francisco provides an excellent climate that attracts innovation. An important factor was perhaps that there was so much room to grow. The right city at the right time. In Europe most of the land is already accounted or planned for something.

China got to grow so quickly exactly because the government decided to embrace free market forces.

> This is why the UK probably has more EU immigrants than many other countries

Many wealthy people migrated from France to the UK when Hollande proposed his tax plans.

This is great news for those investing in Flutter. But from the looks of it, it seems like a Front end framework (AKA client-side rendering).

Is there a plan to implement a web framework that can render Server Side Pages. Since it's developed in Dart. Like how next.js took react and implemented an isomorphic rendering. I don't think any reason not doing it. That's a win-win.

I would really give it a shot if they can do that.

Anyone from Flutter dev got a comment??
Because wealth is built over generations.

You too can build wealth for your children and grandchildren. All my grandparents were farmers, and most of their grandchildren have university degrees and a very good wage. I'm sure our grandchildren will have the means to start companies.

The western world is sometimes too focused on individuals, but make no mistake, wealth is build over generations. And I don't see the issue with that.
Those exist in SF, and some of them are colloquially known as the projects[1]. The nice thing about UBI, is it avoids the issue of the 'welfare trap'. UBI isn't meant to directly impact the housing situation in SF, it's meant to help in places like Detroit, where the collapse of the auto-industry could have been mitigated somewhat had there been a UBI to help support the affected individuals and keep money flowing into the local economy. And this would also have a second order effect of relieving pressure on the high growth economies like NY/SF/LA, as folks would not need to immediately migrate away from low/no-growth areas in search of work.

>You just want to be able to dictate how other people live; that's fundamentally anti-freedom. It's not a good position to take.

Asking others to pay for their share has nothing to do with power fantasy. Not everyone wants to work, but everyone requires work to survive.

>If they were coding all day under the guise of "doing a startup" most HN readers would admire them

Well, yeah, duh, if they were coding all day then at least there's a chance they were presumably providing some value back to society in return for public support.
In a recent power surge, most mobile chargers and LED bulb blew.

Nothing happened to incandescent bulbs or fan.

Luckily I had a power strip with surge protection on which all my expensive equipment were hooked. Power strip blew up but saved my equipments.

Edit: if you open your mobile charger you'll see 400v capacitor right after the bridge rectifier. On 220v mains this circuit needs to handle 310v but can survive upto 400v peak to peak.

But power surges can be more than 400v, and similarly the circuit in CFL or LED driver can only survive very low band of power surges.

Unless you've surge protectors in your house actively scrubbing mains dirty electricity, you'll see your LEDs will not survive long enough.

LEDs don't survive because driver quality sucks and can't deal with mains fluctuation, and LEDs are very sensitive to temperature and voltage, little change in temperate or voltage, will drastically change the current going through the LED and will burn them.

I solved the problem of continuously burning my LEDs by running low voltage DC lines and using 3 level surge protection in my house. Now, I've several mounts for LEDs with fans which keep the temperature in control.

You need serious cooling for anything over 5w led. I am using aluminium heat sink with fan and my LEDs don't die.
For me you are on the first google page for "API Test" nice.
The only way these get close to the same price is if you aren't comparing apples to apples. A grey import 3 without taxes might get close to the official 3A from Google on launch day, but give it a month for stock to become more available and discounting to start and there'll be a significant price difference.
Are you also against trust funds? Same thing, really. Whatever their parents did, it's todays' workers doing the work to provide any goods and services they use.

Enough people need to be willing to do the work to get the work done. Doesn't need to be everyone; that's a fallacy.

Super Cruise, GM's Autopilot competitor, is planning to be fleet-wide by 2020[1]. But that is L2/L3 stuff, which is different than the L4 technology Cruise is focused on. You can't put L4 into GM's cars because it's not ready - it's probably dangerous and I'm doubtful it would be cost effective given the prices of sensors and the fact that you need to turn the car into a rolling datacenter.

> What does "people being in control of their own stuff" even mean?

It means that Facebook et al don't have it to begin with.

> How do you force people to use software that doesn't do this?

Why do you have to force people to do anything? That conclusion requires some major cognitive dissonance.

There are two options here. One is that people are rational in not caring, and in that case there is no problem and nothing needs to be changed, so what are you complaining about? But let's suppose that's not it.

Then it's that privacy is important and people should care about it but they don't understand, in which case you don't have to force them to do anything, all you need is for them to learn what is happening and why they should care about it. It requires information, not regulations.

You can't regulate a fox in a henhouse, you can only teach the farmers why fences are important before they learn it for themselves.

> It's also unclear whether in practice people being in control over their devices better protects the users - back when that was the case, malware was a bigger problem than it is now.

We need to give all our data to Facebook because malware? How does that prevent malware at all? What is Facebook's server going to do that your phone couldn't do for itself?

"But malware" it seems is the new "but terrorism" or "think of the children" as a generic excuse for every authoritarian policy in the book.
Hold on, so I assume you are on a reasonably cheap hosting or cloud plan? Yet it scaled up to this?

"Because if the adjuster or whomever does find you have such modifications - they -will- blame those.

Yeah, it's sort of like large corporations lobbying for regulations in order to prevent future competition.

Also, a developer is someone who wants to build a house in the woods, an environmentalist is someone who already owns a house in the woods.
Similarly, I am in the process of trying to prevent the math department of our university from discarding a lot of books in their library of interest to the physics department.

These frameworks are starting to get too complex that is why the sizes are huge.

If i understood it correctly,
React Native basically gives you a JS runtime environment that handles communication with native APIs of the system and is shipped with your app.
Flutter (and Dart) will transpile into native code and compile natively for your platform.

So on React Native you will have that abstraction layer add runtime latency and package size of your app, while Flutter (Dart) really outputs native code.
Given the comments in this post, I think people disagree with you.

Not sure how you came to the conclusion that because you can't think of any integrations you personally use that it won't affect others.
Hardware as a service is the new normal. This really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. "Smart" hardware means you're leasing it and will be changed at will or it gets bricked.
Besides, with every new release of Visual Studio, there’s a bit less need for Resharper.

The post states:

> The combination of the tracker – which allows individual voters to verify that their votes have been accurately recorded – and the verifier – which allows anyone to verify that the recorded votes have been accurately counted – enables full “end-to-end verification” of the correctness of election results.

I understood this to mean that I am able to use the tracker to verify that my vote was cast for a particular candidate.
Not legally here (Aus) - we have compulsory voting.
Not always - spoiled ballots can sometimes count, or indicate growing dissent in society. Not voting can achieve neither.

Here's a case from last week of a spoiled ballot giving someone a majority of one: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/03/ballot-pape...

Was that the result the voter intended? Probably not, but who knows? :)
Similarly aluminum is the most abundant mineral on Earth's surface, but aluminum is only harvested from bauxite rock formations. The highest concentration of gold on the planet is thought to reside just off the continental shelf next to California, but this is never harvested because scraping the ocean floor for trace metals is too expensive. Density and costs of extraction matter.

The primary problem is hypocrisy. Environmentalists don't want a metal harvested from their backyard, but require it be harvested elsewhere at equal environmental impact. The options are clear: be content with atmospheric carbon, trade atmospheric carbon for water polluting metal extraction, or stop using electricity.
Self-driving's problem isn't that it 'doesn't work in many use cases'. The problem is finding a single use case where today's L4 technology can actually be used given the technological, legal, PR and cost considerations.

And you think that anybody can answer that from Google? There are different factions in every company, they are fighting over things constantly. This is why Google has many similar products.
thats only one issue, there are many others. there are also a ton of people who just dont save/invest any of their money, even those making 100k a year. furthermore, we are in a bit of bull market for stocks, which networth overly focuses on.

also networth is just a terrible metric. it ignores income streams, it ignores things that produce income like degrees, etc. it over inflates paper wealth as mentioned before.
> For those who see this as Google turning off an unused service: no, just no. This is Google cutting off a massive interop ecosystem to try to parlay the success of Nest into higher adoption of Google Home. That’s vastly different than shutting down G+, Wave, Orkut, Reader, etc.

It's exactly the same as previous shutdowns, it's just that you didn't personally care about previous shutdowns and couldn't be arsed to emphasise or learn the lesson that google can not be trusted to keep services alive.

The sharp folks are those like ocdtrekkie upthread who shed their nest immediately upon learning of the acquisition.
EU law (because the EU seems to be the only one willing to make these big laws inconveniencing tech) - any IOT enabled product that has the IOT capabilities removed by closing of a service without a simple way for those capabilities to be re-enabled (simple being further clarified in law) can be returned for a full purchase refund up to 3 months after closing of the service.
Meanwhile, 20 hours would be irritating to me on long days, and 10 hours (probably a few hundred cycles/less than a year) would interrupt my work and concentration daily. Just goes to show how the inconvenience varies between people.

Nest is actually far from great thermostate, definitely not "iPhone" of thermostate. It doesn't allow lots of manual settings and it doesn't handle anything more than simple systems well. There is lot of marketing that is blinding but not much substance. You should check out thermostats like Ecobee instead.
If you cringe a little you're really almost-acknowledging that you haven't /really/ done anything for your privacy. Maybe using Apple products is a bit of g33k virtue-signaling?
If a large chunk of that goes to salary, and a large chunk of those salaries goes to SF's crazy-expensive housing...I think you know where I'm going with this. I'll admit I don't know what the actual numbers are, but if this thesis is true, the solution is right in front of them too - let housing become cheaper by permitting more construction. And possibly ending Prop 13. Mostly a combination of the 2.

You can see this in almost any labor-related expense in the Bay Area. Eating out is 30-40% more expensive than comparable metros, but you're not getting 30-40% more for your money. Ditto childcare, plumbers, electricians and other contractors, personal care, pet care etc etc.
React Native has a JavaScript layer that hurts performance and it is not truly native as they say. Just do a reach on flutter vs react native and you'll see better explanations and comparisons.
I think the "fix" is not to accept the state of play but to challenge it.
I thought this was good but if you want to use CNAMES with CloudFlare dns it is $240 month per domain.

So expect to pay $2,862.05 more per year then GoDaddy per domain... If you transfer over 20 domains the cost is $57,241 more per year.

I have moved over several domains. The dns on the surface looks totally normal. They brought over all of my dns information including cnames. But then the DKIM for Amazon SES started failing and I did a lookup on the DNS and figured this all out.
So far this technology has still flaws and if you know what to look for, you'll spot the generated image; once these will be eliminated, it won't be possible to tell the difference.
Which is the correct way because then you just put hand in your pocket and grab it straight away in correct orientation.

Process is very simple. After learning basics from 4-5 hours from youtube about some framework/language, start coding!
Start working on real life project and google all the problems you're facing! This is probably one of the fastest ways to learn coding! Also if you find a good mentor to teach you, it'll be a cherry on the pie!

> Wikipedia is not a source.

Yes, I remember when our teachers used to hound this into us. But frankly Wikipedia has been as verifiable as the Encyclopedia Britannica. If you're going to say Wikipedia (the most commonly cited resource) isn't providing a good definition, provide a good source that counters. Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

Also, see [0] (a good source) 1b and the discussion below.

It was never for personal projects. The actual IPO quote is "We encourage our employees, in addition to their regular projects, to spend 20% of their time working on what they think will most benefit Google".

It's often done in other companies to a lesser degree with hackdays/weeks and is a good way to clean up tech debt or kickstart new product ideas.

Yes I used Keras before PyTorch came out. IMO, Google needs to start over rather than try extensive wart removal on something that consists almost entirely of warts. These days Keras has subpar multi-GPU support (two GPUs are often slower than one), less flexibility, and more un-debuggable magic than PyTorch. And it doesn't look like things will be improving much (if at all) with TF 2.0.

And the TPU is a story of its own when it comes to usability. Take a look at their docs.
