Indeed in the Commonwealth, my (limited) understanding is that in those circumstances, liability had always been understood as being with the retailer, not the manufacturer, until the landmark decision of Donoghue v Stevenson in 1932 established the idea of a duty of care owed by the manufacturer even though there was no direct contract between manufacturer and end consumer.
I have been at the top of HN several times, and I think we got 10-20K max. So 15K sounds reasonable, I'd say 50K looks off unless you stayed at the #1 spot for more than a day.

Also, the traffic is not very targeted. A lot of people reading news, but not necessarily early users of whatever you are doing. So traffic dies down pretty quickly.

PS: it's funny to see the bots posting anything that got popular on HN to reddit, and see the smaller peaks of traffic from Reddit the following days.
I don't see how that's relevant. It works on much longer time frames, and in particular, only comes into play when someone else tries to claim the property in question. If the property is merely unoccupied, no one will ever know. Implementing this law will require regularly inspecting all properties in the city to see if they are indeed occupied (and how would you tell the difference between a furnished/staged unoccupied apartment and one that is occupied?).

Also, good luck squatting in a modern apartment building. You won't be able to get a keycard to even get inside the building.
well technically then it shouldn’t be assumed one way or the other, so your comment also shouldnt imply one way or the other ... right ?

I think its pretty clear that she refused to testify out of principle. None of the war criminals exposed by Manning's leaks have been charged or tried for their crimes. The government's refusal to charge the war crimes, which are central to the entire case, completely undermine any pretense of "justice". As usual, the government is using its infinite power to punish those who exposed wrongdoing, while completely ignoring the actually wrongdoing that was exposed. I find it quite admirable that Manning refuses to be used as a tool to further this charade of injustice, at great personal expense. Being held in "contempt of court" is no vice when the court, and the prosecutors, have done everything possible to earn that contempt.

For those unfamiliar with the still unprosecuted war crimes exposed by Manning (and published by Assange):

Hell no. Whats wrong with plain old win32. Compiled software will almost always be faster than interpreted JS. Do we need a new system? UWP is more or less a flop, but the old way still works.

Now, I don't use windows on a regular basis, but clearly something was wrong with the UWP UX design.

> Coal has few friends on the buyer side

Which type: metallurgic (used to make steel) or thermal (for power)?

Metallurgic coal is the more expensive, loved kind (as you need it to make buildings) and that is what Australia produces, at ~40% of total exports by volume (not sure via value). https://minerals.org.au/sites/default/files/181012%20Commodi... BTW: that is 3X the next biggest metallurgic coal exporter (the USA).

> There seems to be real chance that the demand for Australian coal drops by >50% in the next few years

Where are you getting that figure from? Coking coal looks pretty solidly in growth from what I know.

Is there really no estabilished open-source solution to this problem? It seems very sad since rolling your own crypto protocol even from knwon good primitives is such an infamous minefield.

Also apparently many "IoT" labeled devices are not actually on the internet, but are using some kindof gateway to the net. In this case you would lose end-to-end security by just using TLS to the gateway.
Putting batteries in trolleybuses could help mitigate this problem.
I find responses like this fairly patronizing. I think it’s preferable to not respond at all or substitute a link to an article like Kim Mai’s (in)famous TechCrunch piece instead of this veritable shrug.

The whole point of a trusted timestamp is that such signature cannot be made for a fraudulent date, otherwise it would be utterly pointless.

Except the place is being filled with rich people. Who drive up the prices for everything else.

Soviet Union had the same problem: in a vast country being 99% shitland, there were very few livable spots where everyone wanted to live. They solved it by basically implementing an internal immigration barrier: only way to live in such a place was either for the Party to send you there, or to get married to a local. In the end it is either that, or simple pricing out of those who can't afford, unless you can make more places in your country livable.
Not sure how well that'd work in your situation, but maybe you could license the pro parts with one of the licensezero ( https://licensezero.com ) licenses. That would disallow use of your software (or the parts of it you choose) with either closed source software, or in a commercial setting (depending on the license you pick).

It would mean more work spelling all that out to your users, but you would make up for it by not having to hide/separate code as much. You'd have to be comfortable with 'showing all your code though.
This distinction doesn't ring true to me. There is plenty of corruption of all types in capitalism as well.

This is a practice that exists, for better or worse.

The thing is, the vast majority of parents do not have the kind of experience with the school system that our parents do. It's unreasonable to expect it.

The system should work well even for those who don't have knowledgeable parents advocating for them, because most do not, and it's a horrible waste of talent for an entire country to throw away most of their potential geniuses through lack of good education that works for everyone. I was in magnet programs my entire public school life from fourth grade, but most of my peers were similarly privileged students, because the average students' parents didn't even know about the admission exams to get into these programs, let alone how to properly study for them. I got a huge leg up on all of it.
Hive queries are written in HiveQL, not SQL. I used to write a lot of Hive and Impala queries, and going back to plain SQL is disappointing.
Same. I know that "naming is hard" but it seems like these days software people take a perverse delight in giving things completely unrelated names. At least back in the day we used impenetrable acronyms which kind of made sense when explained.
>there's a reason why not everything in SQL is a set and it's that you can do a lot of mathematical work from inside the engines

I don’t see the relationship between those two things; or rather, what the latter even means. Can you expand?

Also, apparently the “sets” described in the article are actually multisets aka bags [0] — so the same semantics as any other RDBMS/SQL. No idea why they’d confound the two, especially when set vs bag semantics is a well-discussed topic in the literature..

Why would that be? Insurance is about covering accidents; why would accidents suddenly shoot up for ICE cars? I haven't seen any data suggesting that ICEs are inherently more likely to get in accidents than EVs.

Now if you want to talk about advanced driving aids, all the way through to self-driving, then sure, not having those will result in higher insurance. But that's not tied to the engine, and there's plenty of non-EVs that have very advanced driving aids.
both are terrible, but I might actually lean towards marzipan being worse, because at least electron apps acknowledge they're not running on a phone?

I would think that depends.

> Australia, with it's plentiful sunshine and wide open spaces

It's funny, but that sounds an AWFUL lot like the Terra Nullius argument used to disposes Indigenous people of their land.

Australia's "wide open spaces" are home to flora and fauna that are unique and worth preserving. The idea we'd want vast swaths of solar destroying the natural environment - one that is unique and wonderful - is odd to me.

This is cool. I remember going through this exact thing when RHEL 7 got released. It was many weeks before CentOS 7 was ready, and then a little longer still before Digital Ocean and other providers had images available.

It can be hard to wait, but it's worth it. Looking forward to CentOS 8!

Oh, also worth saying that if you create a Red Hat developer account they will give you a free copy of RHEL to test with. If you're planning to deploy CentOS 8 and want to test now, that can be a good way to get going before the CentOS 8 release.

Also, thank you Red Hat! You guys are amazing. The entire world has benefited from your work. I've been a happy Fedora user for many years, and I deeply appreciate how you've made my life better. Thank you for building an amazing set of distros, and thank you for pushing forward many of the huge projects that improve our lives such as Gnome and many more. Thank you for your commitment to open source and for living your values. You are heroes to me :-)
Hey. This is interesting. The title of the post I submitted changed.

Who changed it? Does HN automatically change the titles of posts?
Ask HN: Teach kids how to code in developing nations?
I’ve been traveling trough south east Asia and I’ve been thinking of setting up events where I teach kids how to code. My goal would be to get kids interested in programming by doing a weekend event where I give them a taste of what can they achieve with programming. What age groups would be suited for this sort of format? Is anyone doing something similar ?
We're not being distracted. We're just wise enough now to figure out that most of the subjects we're forced to focus on aren't that important.
>By mandating a 90-day expiry, LetsEncrypt forced people to automate the process -- and everyone is on the same page.

Ironically, I had the opposite problem. I used to be on top of things like cert expirations, but now I just let certbot do everything. The problem (at least in my case) was that even though certbot updated the cert on time, it doesn't restart / reload nginx so that it picks up the new cert. My site was up for the full ~30 days between the renewal and the expiration of the old cert. So my site went down because of letsencrypt's cert renewal policy.

(I now have a script set up that reload's nginx's configuration whenever the certificate is updated.)

plenty of games come to iOS before macOS now.

Marzipan means (I think?) you get a lot of the the basics: get a window, setup a gl/metal context, start drawing. That's more or less the entirety of a game's output.

Input then means adding a mouse/keyboard path in addition to touch events and it seems like that's something that should be easy :D

Honestly the effort to setup a GL (and I assume metal) view is kind of annoying on macOS.
> they instead opted for the same bitrate

Except they didn't achieve quite the same bitrate. For scene 1, for example, H.264 was 209.9 kbps, VP9 was 191.2 kbps, AV1 was 230.1 kbps. Put another way: the AV1 stream had 39 additional kpbs (or 20% more bits) than the VP9 stream. 20% is a pretty big deal (especially at these low bitrates), and undermines the point the author was trying to make.

The increase in quality (and decrease in bitrate) for H.264 → VP9 is really cool. But the increase in quality for VP9 → AV1 isn't as impressive because the bitrate also increased. What would have really driven the author's point home was if the AV1 stream was higher quality and a lower bitrate than the VP9 stream.
Is announcing things that are nowhere near completion as finished products coming soon and putting logos for them everywhere also a "normal part of research"?
yes. Or even better, there should be a new abstract control with a semantic "chose one in a list" meaning that renders as an UIPickerView on iOS and an NSPopUpButton on the mac.

What 2d functionality do you think is being left on the table? The way I see it, most 3d raster graphic techniques boil down to baking data in a way that's easy to pipeline. It doesn't really have anything to do with 3d vs 2d. Verts and textures are the way they are because its easy to linearly interpolate them in parallel.

Do you mean vector vs raster?

What issue did you have?

I have a 2015 Jetta TDI and opted to keep it and get the payout and modifications. I had no issues at all, I got paid the specified amount at the specified milestones and got a rental paid for by VW for the days the car was at the dealer. I've currently got ~110,000 miles on the car and other than a few minor cosmetic interior issues its been good car.

I expect to keep it for another 100K at least and my next car I expect will be electric.

For context my previous car was 2002 Subaru WRX that I put 340,000 miles on, with a top end engine rebuild at ~180k, after a "friend" who borrowed it continued to drive it after the radiator return hose burst and it overheated.

CentOS took weeks last time for Cent 7, and also Cent 6. Nothing has changed since Red Hat took over.

Communication is sometimes called a “soft problem”. It is emotionally rooted, which is used as the rationale to dismiss its importance. It isn’t code, it isn’t tangible, and it isn’t logical. ....
Communication is not an engineering problem. And it isn’t a soft problem. It is one of the hardest problems there is.

I'm guessing the author has met people who think "soft = easy", and dismiss it like that.

"Soft vs Hard" isn't equivalent to "easy vs difficult", it's closer to "intuitive vs systematic". (I suspect soft skills are under-valued and under-appreciated because it's harder to fairly measure and evaluate non-systematic traits).

So of course communication is a "soft problem".

Totally agree. Except I didn't know DBNN are mainstream. That is, in research they're obviously well known, though I've personally not yet encountered industry settings (companies different from the tech unicorns, that is) that utilize them or even think about these problems. They often end up using the latest well-known architecture (like YOLO) in TensorFlow. That said, we mostly work with retailers and finance-insurance (non-US).

Would be interested to know if your experience differs and in which industries.

Linux apps are run in an unprivileged container, inside a VM that uses a stripped down kernel. By default all apps run in the same container in the same VM, but that can be controlled by the user (through the command-line, there's no GUI for that yet). This is detailed here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/c...

Android apps are run directly in a container (and each Android app runs in a sort of container, whether on smartphones or on chromebooks). See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform2/+/mas...
