For those who are curious, a typical American home uses of order a kilowatt, time-averaged (10,400 kWh per year = 1.2 kW). So 30 MW is roughly the average power usage of a city of 30,000 homes, or 80,000 people, although total capacity will be larger to handle fluctuations.
Did it? I sort of thought the 90's death of D&D was more of the hangover of the 'devil worshipping' accusations of the 80's finally hitting.

> It makes me feel old to remember buying physical media that will still work today, 30 years later.

If it uses GPU rendering, possessing physical media doesn't mean much. GPU vendors aren't that diligent about making sure old games run properly on their current hardware offerings.

Even for physical media for console games, patches DLC are delivered through the console's online service. Once that ends, as it has for the PSP and original Xbox, you're left with the game as it was originally released with whatever bugs it contains.

Oh, this could be really bad. I wonder if any private keys are compromised this way - would certainly be nice to know what rdrand is returning if it isn’t random data.
But you can argue Twitter does the same. I see hate speech against my race and gender all the time. For evidence, just look at what happens when people post "it's ok to be white". Notch did it recently: massive meltdown. Very obviously these platforms are full of people who don't think it's OK to be white, which is pure racist hatred. Where are the bans? Why does saying such an innocuous thing trigger such hatred with no response from these supposedly hate-fighting platforms?

What about all the hate towards Trump when he says good morning, have a nice day? Nothing happens.

Of course, we know why. It's because the people who run them are fine with the right kind of hate, if they believe it to be justified by history.
Yah I can agree with that completely.

Mostly my observation is the way they run events and stuff seems very cool.

Many years ago, I read an interesting article about an idealistic young hetero couple cohabiting. They chose to have a baby together.

The guy began saying "My wife and I just had a baby" so people would actually congratulate him. When he said "My girlfriend just had a baby" people were all "Oh, sorry, dude. That sucks."

Trying to arrange health coverage, wills and a zillion other things involved jumping through so many hoops they were considering getting married because a lot of those things would be automatic or vastly easier if they were married.

Normalization isn't insignificant. Neither are the 169 rights a gay college professor stated in one of my classes were conferred by marriage.
Implementing a legalised form of polygamous marriage won't change nor exacerbate that. The number of people who have concurrent relationships with more than one partner won't change by denying a formal form of that type of partnership, although it could mean some won't have to be as secretive about it.

That is, whether or not the distribution of romantic partners is symmetric or not is completely irrelevant to this topic. Incels have always existed, and will always exist, under varying names (in all genders).
Segment is hiring engineers to create our developer platform
Hey HN,

I’m Calvin, one of the co-founders of Segment. We’re looking for a senior engineer to help us build out our developer platform.

Up until this year, Segment has been an easy way to connect all of your data. But today, we’re starting a new chapter.

We’re starting to open up our data infrastructure to let other companies build upon our platform. We want you to come help and create the tools to make sending, receiving, and managing data at scale a pure delight.

Concretely, we’re working on:

- infrastructure which allow users to upload custom pieces of code that process hundreds of thousands of RPS
- new superpowers to combine, modify, and transform data coming through the pipeline
- new customer-facing APIs for accessing and controlling data as it passes through our pipeline

If you’re interested in APIs, distributed systems, and starting to experiment with building a platform for other users, please apply here: https://segment.com/jobs/1673831/

To give you a flavor of the sorts of work we do:

- https://segment.com/blog/exactly-once-delivery/
- https://segment.com/blog/allocation-efficiency-in-high-performance-go-services/
- https://segment.com/blog/introducing-centrifuge/

If you have questions, feel free to email me as well. I’m calvin at segment.
Definitely click bait. The real title wouldn't be as interesting. "Who to sue when an algorithm doesn't work the way you were told it did?" That makes the answer very obvious. You sue the person that misrepresented what the algorithm does, which is indeed what is happening here.

Yes, fixed that. Thank you

I think there should be an alternative too married when it comes to the government. (As in, the government is not involved in marriage at all. not "Separate but equal")
What we consider "marriage" should not be a thing the government should be involved in.

I think questioning why the government should view 2 (or more) people together should change how taxes work. Instead of just having each person file taxes separately.
At one point we needed tax incentives for procreation, but I don't think that is necessary anymore.

Property is an interesting one, but break this assumption that just because you are with someone that you should immediately all own everything.

Kinship is valid, but we need alternatives too that anyways for anyone that chooses never to marry. No reason 2 best friends cannot enter that specific agreement for each other and have it legally recognized.

I just think there are better ways to handle these issues than tying them all to a marriage.
Allow 2 people to still get married obviously... but the government does not care anymore, but these other benefits grant in other more meaningful ways.
Educate yourself.

Definitely. It's also a lot more about the second part (discontinued support, and the fact it sucks to develop against) than the first (very low usage).

At my company we're in this weird spot where Chrome has overwhelming adoption but IE11 has more usage than some of the other modern browsers. For example, if we only went by usage (or even more so: conversion/$$$), we'd be dropping Firefox support before we drop IE11.

That obviously doesn't feel great. I don't want to be in a "This website is optimized for Chrome in 2560x1440 resolution and 32 bit colors!", reminiscent of the old Netscape vs IE days. But we're getting very close to it. Firefox's usage is dwindling. Safari is pretty bad at anything except saving battery. Chrome is good but Google is pretty sketchy with how they bully their feature requests into the standards. IE11 can go to hell, but I still want people to test across browsers. It's happening less and less.
The end result of refusing to provide your manga in digital form is not that people only consume it in the form you intended. Somewhat the opposite, in fact. Instead you simply have people scanning everything that gets published and distributing it for you, with you having zero say in the resulting quality.

For niche self-published works sold at conventions the number of illegal downloads is often dramatically higher than the total number of physical copies that exist, and the people who experience your art in its intended form are a minority.
I wonder why would one make a headline "Open source collaborative text editors", and then write about online editors which are neither fully open-sourced, nor fully collaborative. And then stop with them, without even mentioning solutions that are both truly real-time collaborative and truly open source.

Unfortunately that terminal requires an insider's version of Windows to run.

Enabling insiders means MS will track a bunch of data about you besides anonymous metrics and you can't opt out of it because insiders requests that info.

WSL v2 and / or that terminal sounds good but it may not be until Oct 2019 or Apr 2020 before the stable Windows channel sees it. They tend to release 2 major updates a year and if WSL v2 is only being released in June 2019 for insiders it's quite the push to have it ready by Oct 2019 for stable.
The real question in my mind is when do browser makers start directly blocking websites they believe to be bad? After all both Chrome and Firefox are made by people with very strong political views. So far they've not abused SafeBrowsing to exercise political control over the internet, but the companies producing them are willing to block or politically rerank extensions, web links, domain names they host, news they summarise and so on.

How long do we have before browsing to gab.ai triggers a "This page has been blocked for your safety" page because a bunch of activists said the content made them feel unsafe?
Because it was too snarky.

So your point is that we shouldn't trust Amnesty International because they aren't 100% indisputably neutral.

And as evidence that they don't meet that standard, you've pointed out that countries that they've criticised don't agree with that criticism.

I don't think that's what you meant because it's too stupid to comprehend. I think you were trying discredit Amnesty International, but you lacked the evidence, so you tried to tie them to the accusations against HRW.

You put a statement that Amnesty International and HRW are biased in the middle of a paragraph associating Amnesty International and HRW with the CIA, followed by a quote accusing HRW of pro US bias.

It's another well known shitty debate tactic.

"Bob and Jane are involved with conflict diamonds."

Then you provide a quote that shows Bob is a diamond smuggler and a link with more supporting evidence. Followed by a link that shows Jane investigates diamond smugglers.

You hope that no one will read the link, but if they do and they call you on it, you whine about how you weren't actually lying. Jane is involved with conflict diamonds. You never explicitly said she was a smuggler.

If feel like you're projecting with your comments about needing to get the last word btw.
A recent episode of "Hidden Brain" [1] on NPR covered the massive reduction in anti-gay bias over the last few decades in the US. A quote from the summary of episode at the link I gave:

> "This is actually one of the most surprising things in the whole history of public opinion," says Stanford sociologist Michael Rosenfeld. "There's more and more rapid change in attitudes towards gay rights in the past thirty years in the United States than there ever has been in recorded attitudes in the United States on any issue."

In the episode itself, they compare how fast attitudes are changing toward various biases. If anti-gay bias continues shrinking at the rate it is currently shrinking, it will be under a decade for them to be pretty much gone.

Biases about black people, on the other hand, would take about 60 years to mostly go away. Biases about skin tone...about 140 years. Biases based on ago...over 150 years.

(NOTE: those are not predictions. They are simply illustrations of how rapidly or slowly those biases are changing right now. It is extremely unlikely that any particular bias is going to diminish at a constant rate from now until it is virtually gone).

Show HN: A Tool to Improve Your Marketing Skills
I run a marketing consultancy for software companies called Reify (www.reifyworks.com) -- we've worked with several YC companies in the past.

New companies often ask us what we can do to help them get better at marketing, what direction they should go in, etc. They also want us to give them a sense of how mature their understanding of marketing is, or how well they're executing.

In response, we've put together a simple 10 question diagnostic that does the following:

- "Grades" your marketing maturity based on the answers to your questions
- Gives advice based on the answers to your questions
- Provides links to more reading material about a number of the topics covered

We designed, wrote, coded, and shipped the whole project in a month or two, and deployed it on Netlify. It's written in Elm.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
It means telling whether the game is a draw or a win is undecidable. So magic strategy is not computable.
> Doing this through any government or government-like organization is wrong.

This seems to be where we diverge, then. I disagree.

I do think that how its implemented is crucial, but not that the form of system is. That is, government not as hard authority but as collaboration. Non-profits are not much less volatile than private companies. One would be a step in the right direction, sure. The form of a government is hardly different from any other authoritative body—I don't think it's productive to think of it as a bad word. Implementation is primary.

Your opinion is unpopular because it is an ignorant opinion. American policing has its roots in "slave patrols" - it is an institution (like many American institutions) founded on anti-blackness. Americans are socialized to see Black people as inherently dangerous, and Black and brown people continue to be policed much more than white people.

Your comment is rightfully being downvoted because it reveals that you haven't even tried to research this topic. It is offensive because it continues to perpetuate attitudes that contribute to violence toward Black and brown people. It is also offensive because it is _so easy_ to educate yourself and contribute informed opinions instead of ignorant ones. One place to start is "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. I really hope you take the time to read it and other books that explain what it's really like to be Black in America.
correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought basically all recent exploits (including spectre/meltdown) were only really viable on shared hypervisors?

This is nothing new. It was very difficult to just buy a laptop from my local store in 2014. Apple stores have never worked like any other store. The purpose is for passers-by to see lots of people inside as social proof.

We need enough as to be reasonable competing point of views when it comes to setting standards. Things like web components, service workers, built-in javascript modules and more were pretty meh features pushed really hard by a specific browser vendor that tried to ignore feedback/pushback. The only way the standards won't get to be more of a mess is if we have multiple implementations and multiple, distinct organizations having opinions on the specs and implementation.

A world where Blink has 80%+ marketshare (which is pretty much what we have or where we're headed) is one where a single group can dictate the standard for everyone else.

When I looked into this years ago, I couldn't find any good tools for using the repository itself as the data storage layer for bug tracking, PRs, etc. So (at least then) Github was the best option.

Can you recommend any alternatives?
