Would you please stop using HN for political and ideological battle? Regardless of what your politics are, fiery rhetoric is not what this site is for, and we ban accounts that do it. We've warned you several times already, so you need to fix this if you want to keep posting here.

When it comes to divisive topics, the guidelines call for comments to become more thoughtful, not denunciatory. Denunciation is a different type of game than the one we're playing here. Your non-denunciatory comments look fine, so this shouldn't be hard.

The saddest part is that their photos could have easily just been used in an innocuous ad campaign, showing wonderful photos and making sure their products are in it.

Manipulating Wikipedia for the goal, is the opposite of wonderful, it is distasteful. :/
If you are in a high enough position that nation states are burning zero day exploits to launch targeted attacks against you, there should probably be a security professional filtering your email. (This is also a situation where disabling Javascript would be very reasonable.)

For the remaining 99.999% of the population, I really don't think opening a web page in an up-to-date browser is cause for concern. Certainly if that browser is also in a VM. People have more pressing concerns in their lives.
There are only a couple places were their daughter's condition is mentioned:

> Then, when Rick Marsh got the biggest test of his life — the birth of his beloved daughter, Abigail, and her diagnosis of cerebral palsy at the age of one — his job became a central part of how he saw himself. He was her provider, her protector. That was his worth in the world.

> Or he could transfer to another G.M. plant sooner, but he hates that idea. His biggest worry is for his daughter, Abby, now 14. He and his wife have spent years fighting to get her services in Ohio, aides in school and coverage under Medicaid. Moving would be wrenching.

Nowhere does it state that aides in school or overage under Medicaid would be lost if he moved. If anything I suspect that services would be better in an economically healthy town that has a better tax base.
Libertarian free will goes hand in hand with being able to choose abstract ideals over physical passions. I bring it up because it explains why Hume diverges from classical thought on the proper role of reason and passion.

I did this for 6502 a couple of decades ago. Most times it only did two to three passes to optimize. But some complex code needed more passes.

For x86 assembler how many passes does it usually take to optimize the code?
Can someone post the full text here so I don't have to hurt my eyes by trying to read that terrible font?
Looks like NVLink is 25GT/s while PCIe 5.0 is 32GT/s (per pair of electrical "wires").
I always swap my own tires in the summer/winter because it takes me less time to do it than to drive to the shop. TPMS, but it can be such a pain.

My previous car, 2010 VW I could switch from summer to winter wheels/tires and drive away. TPMS would figure it out just fine. Now I have a Subaru and am debating buying a $100 tool to reset them. It won't take long to pay for itself, but as it is now, the light is still on.

Worse, my Ram has positional sensors and I haven't seen any "cheap" tools. It happens to be the same set of wheels, but I rotated them and it expects different pressure in the front vs rear. The light is on and it yells at every start because the rear tires are underinflated. How hard can it be for a car to learn which tire is on which corner of the vehicle?
aka, always tip.
There is another well known corollary -- if we consume the bulk of fossil fuels this time around, it's unlikely that recovery after a major civilisation collapse would be possible.

Naturally the kind of leadership that declines to consider what will happen over the next 20-30 years is even less likely to be concerned about the subsequent 200-300.
Which means that their customers (North Face) have to be made ethically responsible - so that other potential customers look for more ethical companies (while advertisment is unethical almost by definition as they try to manipulate behavior and online even worse, as they spy on you ...)
At my college, this class was the primary weeding-out class in junior year. Started with a full class, maybe 50? At the end of the semester there were 7 of us.
Sounds like you're referring to security tokens, which place a securitized asset's cap table on a public blockchain. 0x works with all tokenized assets, so we're not opinionated about which assets people want to trade -- other companies like Harbor (https://harbor.com/) offer tokenization services. You're right that placing bearer instruments on a public blockchain presents some issues and the jury is still out a bit.

An alternative might be found in protocols like UMA (https://umaproject.org/), Augur (https://www.augur.net/) or MakerDAO (https://makerdao.com/) which allow you create synthetic tokens that trustlessly track the price of a real-world asset by creating financial incentives to rebalance the price of the minted tokens. MakerDAO has already been used to create over $80MM in a synthetic USD token called Dai (https://makerdao.com/dai/) and UMA has created a synthetic S&P500 token, allowing anyone anywhere around the world to get exposure to US Stocks (https://medium.com/uma-project/announcing-us-stock-index-tok...).

It's also worth pointing out that the social environment within most schools is far from ideal.
I agree that the tone of straw-manning an economist who may or may not exist, but either way cannot elaborate upon or defend their own arguments, is pretty distasteful.

That said, I think you misunderstood the point of dismissing space colonization. That was done to examine the consequences of that assumption, not as an assertion that space colonization can't be economical.

Many people might think exponential growth can continue even without expanding into space, and trying to dispute this opinion without first drawing a line would just result in confusion as the discussion retreats into "but we'll just expand into space then!".

None of this hemming and hawing about infinity answers the real question...

In what world was that the real question? The one where limits to growth are a broadly accepted fact acknowledged by politicians, economists, and business leaders?
I've had a professional plan for quite some time so that I would have access to Smart Sync. I'm rather excited about being able to pay less and still get everything I want.

> when the effects should be even more obvious do you think there will still be denialists?

If you think there won't be, I'd say you're far too optimistic.
Despite using dropbox heavily for work (And liking it), I don't understand their value proposition for personal use. Their pricing seems completely out of line with their competition.

2TB or nothing for a single account with no family sharing that costs more than iCloud? No thanks.

I would consider upgrading my free plan if they had smaller storage tiers available at competitive prices. Even then it would be a hard sell since it isn't as well integrated as iCloud is on Apple's ecosystem.
Neither did my statement.
With regard to why the Lion Air airplane was deemed flight-worthy, we have to take into consideration that, because MCAS had not been disclosed, some important information was missing from the analysis. It is unfortunate that the maintenance crew incorrectly thought that they had fixed the sensor, and perhaps felt that was enough to deal with the problem, but they may not have known how aggressively this undisclosed system could mis-trim the airplane, and the pilots certainly did not (it was even a surprise to many at the FAA involved in the Max certification.)

Maybe the crew of the earlier Lion Air flight were lucky and had the airplane temporarily back in trim at the point where the deadheading pilot recognized that they had an ongoing trim runaway situation, for which toggling the trim cutout switches was the documented response [1].

I think it is unreasonable to suggest that the EL302 pilots were negligently unprepared. After using the trim cutout switches to disable MCAS, they found they were unable to correct the trim manually, so they did exactly what you suggested in your first post: they re-engaged the electric trim and attempted, unsuccessfully, to re-trim the airplane before it crashed. This suggests a familiarity with the AD issued after the Lion Air inquiry. Maybe if they had not switched the trim off initially, they would have prevailed, but the message from Boeing after the Lion Air crash was that its pilots were at fault because they failed to use the cutout switches.

Given that Boeing was still holding to the line that MCAS failure should be handled as if it were just another case of trim runaway, and that the procedure for that was the same as on previous variants, the pilots could reasonably consider themselves to be well-prepared for the situation - they now knew about the problem, and they had trained for recovering from trim runaway on NG simulators. The AD issued after the Lion Air inquiry says "Electric stabilizer trim can be used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT. Manual stabilizer trim can be used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved to CUTOUT", but it says nothing about this differing from the NG, where one can disable faulty inputs while retaining trim-switch control. It also says "If relaxing the control column causes the trim to move, set stabilizer trim switches to CUTOUT" - and it seems quite possible that, in the case of MCAS runaway, relaxing the control column could coincide with the trim continuing to move (and the crew is not in a position to determine causation), at which point, using the cutout switches is prescribed. Finally, this checklist [1] says "If the runaway continues after the autopilot is
disengaged:
STAB TRIM CUTOUT
switches (both) [to] CUTOUT." None of this says anything directly about getting the airplane back in trim before toggling the cutout switches, if that is what is necessary to regain control if this happens close to the surface.

An account is controlled by a key AND the validators who choose to record their transaction. One cannot just share the key with others. First, they need to record it with ledger keepers. How is it not like transfer agent?
While you're not wrong, I think it's a fallacy to say that just because people break the rules doesn't mean we should not make rules. Lots of people get speeding tickets, that doesn't mean we should abolish speed limits.

Companies break rules, they get caught, the rules get changed and improved and hopefully things tend to get better (in theory).

Updated plans get more storage and improved capabilities
By Dropbox Team
3-4 minutes

We’re always looking for ways to make Dropbox better for you and the way you work. So, we’re unveiling improvements to our plans to help you store more content and work more efficiently.
Plus the storage and more

You’ve got many files and multiple devices, so it’s important to have easy access to the content you need, whenever you want it. And, ideally, everything is stored in one secure place with space to spare.

That’s why we’re doubling storage for Dropbox Plus to 2 TB—plenty of room for all your files, photos, videos, and projects. We’re also adding Dropbox Smart Sync, so you can move out-of-date items from your hard drive to the cloud and save space on your computer. And full-text search (coming soon) lets you search the text content of your files using keywords instead of a file name or extension, so you can find what you’re looking for even faster.

We also know accidents happen, so we’re introducing Dropbox Rewind, our account rollback capability that keeps your content—along with your peace of mind—intact. With Rewind, you can undo accidental edits or restore deleted work by taking folders or your entire account back to any time in the last 30 days.

Plus subscribers can get all this for the new price of $11.99 a month—or save $2 a month with our annual plan. Existing Plus subscribers will get these new features for the same price until the end of their current billing cycle. After that point, they will move to the new pricing structure.
Look and work like a Professional

With the updated Dropbox Professional, you can do less busywork and more of your best work, while also making life easier for your clients.

Professional users can show off their work with features like preview support for DWG and MXF files, time-based comments, and Dropbox Showcase. Now, we’re making it even better for you to share and secure your work with:

3 TB of storage—that’s 50% more space than previously available with Professional plans
Dropbox Rewind, our new account rollback feature, with 180-day version history, an increase from 120 days
A watermarking tool that lets you protect your work and ideas
An enhanced Smart Sync that automatically moves out-of-date items off your computer and into the cloud

Professional subscribers will get our new features with no change to their current pricing.
Not just Business as usual

Coming soon, we’ll also be rolling out improvements to our Dropbox Business plans. Standard users will get 5 TB of storage, an increase from 3 TB. Business Standard and Advanced teams will also get 180 days of file version history, up from 120-day version history.

Business Standard and Advanced teams will get these coming updates with no change to their current pricing.
We’re excited to roll out these changes to Plus and Professional starting today.

To learn more and find the right Dropbox for you, visit our Plus and Professional plans pages. Or get to know our newest features, Rewind, enhanced Smart Sync, and watermarking.
Google Photos is amazing at object and people recognition. It allows you to train it and provides easy access to all the people/pets and more.
Uber to Ban Low-Rated Passengers
Can we fire the security people at our company who test us for phishing attacks, and then send us emails (with off-company links!) to polls, etc., that are required... and all the "security" in these emails is words like "THIS IS A REAL EMAIL FROM THE COMPANY!!!"?

Sigh...
> There are two tunnels involved, so to manage to get 2,200 passengers through in one direction per hour, you're going to have to get 36 passengers out of whatever vehicles and 36 passengers into those same vehicles every minute.

I have a quibble with this. The cars will have to be loaded at that rate, but they will not have to unload and load the same car in that time frame. Also, if the platform can fit multiple vehicles at a time, it gives them significantly longer to unload/load. Picture like a gondola or high speed chairlift at a ski hill - you unload on one side of the end loop, load on the other, and you're unloading/loading multiple cars at a time.

And high speed chairlift capacities easily reach thousands of passengers per hour
What features are you thinking of in those languages? I don't know Swift but I can't think of anything comparable in OCaml.
regarding 2), it's certainly fine if all you want is a ride from A to B, but there are plenty of other things that meaningfully improve the ride for me. maybe the driver is actually familiar with the area and knows a faster or more pleasant route than the one google maps picks. maybe it's a long ride and you have a genuinely interesting conversation that helps pass the time. maybe it's a hot day and they have bottled water in a cooler. maybe they have a much more comfortable car than you expected.

there should be room to acknowledge people that go above and beyond the requirements of their job without being punitive towards the people who do a fine but unremarkable job. I tip most drivers who don't completely fuck up the transportation part of the job, and I tip extra for really good rides, but I wish there were a way to recognize this in the ratings too.
I did bit that bullet. It was worth it for me, but I'm quite excited to be able to pay less and still have smart syncing.
havent u heard of steampunk? ;)

> per-capita energy use has surged dramatically over time

Per capita energy use seems to be declining in advanced economies[1].

> But if energy became arbitrarily cheap, someone could buy all of it, and suddenly the activities that comprise the economy would grind to a halt...There will be a floor to how low energy prices can go as a fraction of GDP.

That seems to be a bizarre understanding of how the economy works. Advances in efficiency or energy production aren't going to be stopped at some point because people are worried about someone buying up all the energy. You're not going to get an inventor to say, "Hey, this new product would be too efficient, I'm not going to introduce it to the market because then energy is going to get so cheap that someone will buy it all up."

And someone could already try committing energy blackmail now if they really wanted. Pepco powers Washington, D.C. and parts of Maryland, and Exelon bought them for $6.8 billion. Some one, or a group of people could pay that and try to blackmail the government. Of course, they wouldn't get anything for it but a quick trip to prison.

May harken back to the adoption of net promoter scores. Back then so many companies were giving such terrible service that "average" was bad. So then every interaction needed a 10 out of 10 so you could secure those promoters. So many people came up working at companies where anything below a 9 or 10 reflected bad on their work it doesn't surprise me that max scores became the new norm. You don't want to get any fired, do you?
> This is a neat solution for preserving IP

There's one thing that I don't get about Salesforce. They have all the data in world about how their users, developers and admins behave and yet still they don't do much with it.

They should be able to move their entire stack implementation from Oracle DB and x86 to cheap as chips ARM servers, yet they jack up prices for their HDD based systems every year.

They should be able to create this intelligent compiler-linter that should hint at 50% of compile errors, yet they focus on devout "citizen developer" tools that fail miserably at any non-trivial task, create mountains of technical debt, yet get sold to largest companies in the world as cure-all...

And finally, they really shouldn't move hundreds of their New Zealand users from USA datacenter to UK one, just because their account was opened there 10 years ago...
Google Drive offers unlimited file storage for their G Suite plans which are now roughly $11/mo I believe. They also do free versioning and have cross-platform clients. While Linux isn't directly supported, there are several great clients. The Team Drive feature is pretty neat too.
They said they weren’t sure if the tests were run again. I hope they were after the training for that reason.

I’m also curious about what training methods work best (including a no-training control group).
Report all those emails as suspected phishing attempts?
Funny how sometimes what everybody was waiting to happen just.... happens
Hahaha. Tell me about it. I live and work in Toronto and use Sherbourne station every day. 80% of their gates are currently under maintenance.

The gates at my work are enter/exit as well but we have to swipe out.
I always thought their much heralded rebrand/redesign was pretty awful. It reminds me of my 70s childhood with the fonts and browns. And for me it fails in a key way: it doesn't help communicate information - I find it's actually fairly distracting.
Or perhaps the capability of humans to actually have so many economical transactions will max out first, no matter what virtual reality.

Is there any confirmation of Assane’s ill health from any source that isn't Assange's lawyer?

If not, can the absence of such confirmation readily explain the lack of interest in the claim?
Reeducation camps are not the same as prisons.

Imprisoning someone for drug charges after due process is not the same as imprisoning someone for being the wrong ethnicity.

The moral weight of a life does not change based on the population of a country.

I feel like these statements are pretty close to being axiomatic.
Wikipedia and Wikimedia have a heavy preference for landscape photos without people in them. Not that they're totally against it, but it still runs against the norm.

The photos were uploaded as CC BY-SA, which I think is probably a silver lining, even though the deletion nominations often talk about blurring or removing the trademarked logo: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:The_North_Face_W...
Wonder if it started before that to be honest. It's pretty common knowledge that game reviews have ridiculously inflated scores for example, with anything lower than 70% being seen as bad and people not bothering with anything under 80-90% when choosing what to buy.

So perhaps the average for a review score/rating has just steadily crept upwards over time, til the scale collapsed into a two choice system with 'bad' and 'great' being the only options.
Some things to note when talking about windows though; nearly their entire graphics stack lives in the kernel. They also have multiple environment subsystems running at the same time (POSIX, OS/2 and Win32) which, are running constantly and unavoidable, so I count them as kernel.

In addition they have things like the “security reference monitor” which resides entirely in the kernel.

It’s really apples to oranges, NT is truly heavy especially on server 2016 (which is where I grabbed the numbers)

I have comparatively fewer 2012r2 machines but I can aggregate the numbers for those too if you like.
Look, they got fellow shyster Elizabeth Holmes involved!

Them's jokes, son. Obligatory intellectually interesting content: Paul Dirac was a Swiss-British quantum physics pioneer who shared a 1933 Nobel Prize with Schrödinger.
But isn't school grading the exact opposite? Of course anything less than A means you did something wrong. But the test expects you to do something wrong! Failing to complete some of the tasks correctly is normal, expected and exactly what almost all students end up doing, at least semi-regularly. We are imperfect humans after all, not robots.

It's the same with services like Uber driving. There's always room for improvement, I expect the driver to make some "mistakes". Not the kind of life-threatening mistakes, of course, but more like "he could have been 30 seconds faster if he hadn't driven so sluggish" or "she may have treated my luggage with a little more care". And stuff like that is perfectly acceptable, at least as long as it doesn't all happen in the same ride. But a perfect, 5/5 ride must not contain any aspect at all that could have been improved by the driver in order to justify it's rating, and I haven't seen many of those.
Huh, how odd.
Ah right, I skipped a step above: it's fine to use a subtitle if it represents the article in a more accurate and neutral way.
“Note you aren't penalized for false positives....”

I spot a critical flaw in this methodology.
