Because Google isn't beholden to HBO.

Secondly, the issue isn't that google added DRM to chrome, it's that the DRM was pushed into an ostensibly open standard, but the implementation of that open standard is locked behind a licensing agreement with Google because it's illegal to make a compatible client under the DMCA, since that would be considered copyright circumvention.

If instead google and HBO had made a specialized browser app to handle the DRM or even just a browser extension that enabled the browser to understand a nonstandard html tag, then the argument that Google is using Chrome's footprint to to modify open standards to make it harder for people to compete with them starts to fall flat on its face (cw. no one is complaining that an HBO app for android and iOS is a monopoly that needs to be broken up). But doing it that way makes it much harder for HBO to acquire customers, because it requires customers to install a new app on their PC or an extension in their browser.
Let's get the fact straight: most scholars from China always consider themselves as Chinese nationals even after they have lived in the U.S. for decades, after they get green card, and even after they get the U.S. citizenship. This fact creates a serious national security threat for the U.S.

The U.S. government has treated scholars from China with great openness and trust, and this trust has been abused by too many Chinese scholars. It is extremely common among Chinese scholars to take a full-time position in China while they are already full-time employees in the U.S. They hide their Chinese employment from their U.S. employers, and hide their Chinese income from the U.S. government, and they directly take their research funded by the U.S. government to their Chinese labs, and they hire Chinese students from their Chinese labs to work in their U.S. lab, and they train those Chinese students with U.S. government funding and then send them to work in their Chinese labs, and etc. etc. etc. They take advantage of the U.S. system for their personal gains.

The U.S. government needs to seriously address this issue. The starting point should be checking through each one of those recruited in the Thousand Talents Program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_Talents_Program_(Chin...

Google Pay still offers this. I have a virtual card number that is given to merchants instead of my real CC number. I don't know if this is a feature for all of Google Pay or requires special integration with my particular CC/bank.
Already, science budgets are continually slashed and grants are harder to find.

The first point is false. R&D spending is at a record high:
https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44307.pdf
Government's share of funding has fallen below 50%, but only because business r&d spending has increased so much. Federal R&D budgets are increasing:
https://cen.acs.org/policy/research-funding/US-science-fundi...

If the 2nd part is true, it's only because the amount of proposals is growing faster than the funding.
Just explain all the anti-counterfeit measures found in a modern $20 bill
A typical product aimed at mid-range video producers, the G-Speed Shuttle SSD, can do up to 2800MB/s. That's 32TB of local Thunderbolt 3 attached SSD storage.

Mind you, you'll pay $15K for it, but if you're in that business you can well afford it even if you're not a top tier Hollywood production shop.

Given that your storage array costs that much, the fully loaded Mac Pro price (somewhere in the $20K range?) is not that outrageous. The people who use Red cameras and G-Tech storage arrays are the Mac Pro demographic Apple is going for here.

Disclaimer: I used to work with G-Tech but no longer there.
What the TL;DR; difference between Aerc and mutt?

Eh, I would rather use notmuch than develop my own index from scratch. Keep it email, yo.
Knowing the motives why someone does something is a useful piece of information. Sure, if I'm dying I'll take everything to have another chance. But if I see someone wanting to help me for no apparent reason, I surely will ask questions like "why" or "is there a catch"?

60-80% of graduate students in STEM fields in the U.S. are international students. It seems like having 60-80% fewer graduates would accelerate the decline of American science.
I haven't dug too deep into the features or how this works yet, but it's very exciting to see any kind of movement in this space at all. I've spent a lot of time configuring mutt just the way I like it, but I'd throw it all away in a heartbeat for a good, modern alternative. My wishlist:

* A daemon that pulls new mail from my IMAP servers to my local maildir as soon as it arrives. (I know mutt has an IMAP mode, and it looks like that's aerc's primary mode of operation, too, but I like to have a local copy of my entire mail archive.)

* Rendering plain text markdown into multipart/html emails. I love me some plaintext, but no one else in my life even knows what a terminal is. 80-char lines are too short for desktop displays and too long for small phones (leading to awful linebreaks), which makes me the guy whose emails never look right.
IMO the key innovation is that aerc does it with an embedded terminal emulator, tmux-style. This allows you to keep using the client for other things while reading or composing emails.
I'd imagine that that's implicit: Nobody's buying a 40k display to show a desktop.
Agreed. Hopefully this move really is limited to those "with ties to Beijing", and not simply all Chinese people.
Who’s HN here? What’s driving you mad? Not really clear what your point is.
Nonsense! The "reproducible" in "reproducible result" doesn't mean anything except that what is described in the paper can be reproduced. Code that works is nice and all, but totally irrelevant to the question of reproducibility. Would you claim that that the Higgs paper must be retracted because CERN won't ship you the LHC? They've got ATLAS and CMS to demonstrate reproducibility, and they're wildly different!
It's also OLED, though, so there's that.
They care for privacy only for people who are willing to pay their high prices though.
Commercial diving rigs don't have extra "octopus" regulators attached to the bailout tank. The divers wear hard hats with integrated regs plus free flow valves so an extra reg would be pointless.
I don't see how this is anything but a feel good idea. No one would even think of implementing it. Get pulled over by a corrupt cop and give him this note, he will make sure you pay him the bribe and then screw you over. Nothing but an intellectual exercise in optimism and hope.
Antitrust is among the most mature areas of law, in terms of how these concepts have been thoughtfully wrangled over. I definitely encourage you to dig deep on how market scope is determined, if that’s interesting to you. There are many ways to manipulate a market but very few rise to the level of requiring state or regional government intervention.
> This can be avoided with good intersection design that gives bicycles their own light cycle

And this now significantly increases the wait time for all modes of transportation. This will lead to signal non-compliance which will lead to more collisions and injuries.

> or puts the bike lane's stop line ahead of the automotive stop line.

This presents another set of issues where cyclists now have to determine whether they have enough time to get ahead of the general traffic stream before the light changes to green. The other issue is that this type of facility encourages cyclists to keep to the right of the general traffic stream when the light is green which makes them much more likely to get right-hooked by traffic preparing to make a right turn at the intersection.

The US has a massive advantage in science (and business) in that many of the best and brightest from across the world want to come to the US, despite the hurdles and issues of getting student visas or work visas.

This means that as a country you don't have to pay for the primary and secondary schooling of all these people, but you get to reap the rewards of them working in your country and contributing to your scientific lead, to your economy.

But like all advantages, if you don't pay attention, you can squander it. You can make it easy for smart Chinese students (in this instance) to do science in the US and benefit US academia and businesses, or you can make it hard, and the same people will instead benefit some other economy.

It's not about diversity, it's about not realizing that the free firehose of cheap and willing smarts and labour isn't perpetual, that it actually has to be maintained and encouraged.
It ain't that hard to understand.

Lets say you are a hunter gatherer, you hunted a pig in the forest. You and your fellow cave mates had a good meal. Another cave mate arrives an hour later. Asks how many pigs you hunted, your reply 1, asks how much is left, given you had everything, and nothing is left, what answer would you give?

Congratulations you just invented zero in 100000 BC.

I do seem to recall the Trump administration being pretty lenient towards white supremacists and their views.
I think that unfortunately many "remote" companies are looking for US employees for legal and tax reasons, if they are already a US based company.

I have found (as in, was hired) true remote positions from [1]

I have heard of [2] [3] [4] and there are many language or technology specific sites that have a remote tag, e.g. [5] but you may have the same "US only" issue with some positions there.

Roams Mexico – Comparator of cell phone, internet and TV plans
France isn't an ethnostate. Like the US, France has jus soli, and the the country very much cultivates the idea of allegiance to the Republic and its ideals being the primary aspect of Frenchness. The National Front might want to change that, but French identity is a kind of civic religion.
This looks fantastic. Thanks!!

Favelas are neighborhoods where lots and lots of families live their everyday life.

It has crime just like any other place (e.g. a Phd in UCLA mapped gangs in LA, santa monica and Beverly hills had the most count of gangs and members) but the police treat favelas as their war ground, causing an artificial firepower escalation. And the reason is twofold: by twisting public opinion that favelas only have criminals you can relinquish all forms of state spending (culture, etc) and you can maintain a tight grip on the local political representation during elections, and favelas have lots of votes.

In sum, it has nothing to do with the gangs per-se. It's more artificial public policy.
A nice list, except for Choose Yourself, which seems a rather typical 'be an entrepreneur, it's easy' message (or maybe I misunderstood the summary) and Rich Dad Poor Dad, which is a bunch of made up stories by a guy that himself has not actually had a healthy financial life (until the book became profitable) and introduces some nice ideas but is mostly nonsense.

The problem is that many of those bike lanes present significant problems to cyclists using them (illegally parked vehicles, lack of room to avoid bad surface conditions, intersection conflicts, dooring hazards caused by door zone bike lanes, etc.
> It may be different at the graduate level, where ~25% of enrollment is foreign.

Only 25%? If you look at science and engineering graduate programs, its probably closer to 90%. Or its certainly felt like that around every department I've seen.
That should be the right-most lane.

And the mere fact that somebody is tailgating you doesn't necessarily mean you're doing it wrong, e.g. consider what might happen on a two lane autobahn while you're passing a truck.

Who knows... With Chris Lattner at Google and Google adopting Swift for TensorFlow, I could well imagine Swift eventually working on Android (or something newer).

That's a little odd -- I was using gnus with maildirs that size ten years ago and it wasn't so bad. nnmaildir backend for gnus, right? I remember something about increasing the emacs memory limit before garbage collection kicks in, too.
It's more useful to think of it as "unmetered PTO, and you're still responsible for your performance".
I would have never thought you meant the former. I believe it’s better to be more clear and evident in your writing.

I already have explained; there's no alternative to iOS for apple mobile devices unless you're willing to pay more than $500 for an equivalent level of android device. If Apple allows Android to be installed to Apple devices, then things can be different though.
That is interesting and different. I guess I am accustomed to the "unix way": I use screen to multiplex my terminal and I have no bad problems from running multiple instances of mutt on the same maildir.
ELI Beamlines | Data Management Specialist, CS Engineers| Prague, Czech Republic | ONSITE, VISA

ELI Beamlines is a European Petawatt laser research facility where an international team currently installs the world’s most intense laser systems.

We are in the middle of commissioning and getting our first users and producing data - and now we have to start handling that. Currently, we are building our first storage system (PB-range), and facing challenges regarding high-throughput applications, cataloguing / metadata of complex scientific data, integration of computational infrastructure, integration into the grid and with off-site data centers,..

We're building a small team for that, and I'm looking for well-rounded, hands-on personalities who can both implement solutions for sometimes quite challenging applications, but also work with different scientific stakeholders to negotiate tradeoffs and policies.

https://www.eli-beams.eu/en/careers/scientific/scientific-da...

The profile is intentionally a big vague because I can fill 2-3 roles (and a couple of more in the CS department)- and if the profile fits, create new ones. I can also see someone working closer to the DAQ chain or the e-infrastructure side.

Also (not so related to HN, but why not try): I'm always looking for LabVIEW and PLC developers..

Indian React to Korean Drama Arthdal Chronicles
I've waited for this for a few years.. Until I stopped caring last year. Alas, I'm underwhelmed. Mostly in the form factor.

I had an Intel beta machine from yonder. Apple sent everyone an iMac that year we had to send those back. I had that and a MacBook Pro for a few years until I got a 2009 Mac Pro. Had to retire that when OS X upgrades stopped working on it. I loved that machine and put it through its paces for many years.

In 2014 I got a trashcan Mac Pro and that's probably been the most beautiful Mac I've ever owned. I know a lot of people don't like it, but it's been quietly humming away on my desk for years. It takes up about a 7" x 7" corner of my desk. It's perfect. I love stuff that doesn't make a sound and gets out of my way.

The new form factor, I'm not into at all. It's great that it's expandable and powerful, but it just doesn't do it for me. I've been doing Mac and iOS development for so long now and thrown so much money at them that I think I'm just burned out. I mean, how much 'best ever', 'amazing', 'sensational', every year can you take? I no longer drool every time Ive speaks and the video for it had me yawning. I've seen it before, even though I haven't. Yah, no one else makes that design, I get it. But, I am now asking myself, so what?

It seems like they have been less 'pro' the past years and now they're extreme pro. I'm just average pro I guess. They didn't design this machine for me and that's ok. I'm just underwhelmed by everything Apple now.
I agree that zsh's default configuration sucks (and the new-user wizard is overwhelming). I would like the project to provide a more opinionated set of defaults to OS vendors; i think we are probably just nervous about breaking 30 years' worth of expectations, and so far nobody has really pushed for it.

But i do think the misunderstanding i mentioned is very common, as illustrated by the fact that the GP seems to think that OMZ itself provides zsh's completion functionality. It's also a frequent point of confusion with people seeking assistance on zsh's IRC channel.
If said research is developed and productized into something that works?

Then we all benefit, cancer victims most notably. Hence the public funding of basic research.

RFC 3676 [1] describes the format MIME parameter for text/plain content type documents which solves this issue. Unfortunately, it does not work well when sending inline patches via email since it introduces trailing whitespace.

I think Reddit's problem is they think they can allow toxic communities to co-exist beside communities filled with normal people, and expect everyone to have a positive experience.

They have half admitted the issue by the new subreddit quarantine process, but members of those communities are still allowed to be toxic in the general subs.

I'm quite confident they'll give it its own permission flag, ask you about it, and ensure that any apps which use it will work without it.

I'd love for Dropbox to be able to upload my camera photos without requiring me to manually open the app every couple minutes.
PBS is currently running a series called "Breakthrough" which is derivative of Burke's style.

Burke's series (Connections, The Day the Universe Changed, and Connections2) are all fantastic.
This is very cool in terms of security principles (no email that can be used to track you by default, mandatory 2FA, mandatory SPF for emails).

The mandatory inclusion if you use third party SSO already (smart I think as otherwise FB and Google would probably start paying developers not to include it) aside, this will probably get a lot of uptake for apps that dont use SSO.

Apps that people mainly use on mobile devices and TV's would benefit a lot from this (as these devices arent good for typing in complex passwords). Additionally larger companies would be concerned about letting Google or FB sell their user list to competitors for targeting. Apple already has all this information, so nothing is lost by enabling SSO.
Apple now requires 2FA for new accounts created on an iPhone and for 2FA they require a phone number.
How hard can it be to make a wifi food scale? Why do you need data scientist. Inventory management is very well studied science. There are plenty of formulas to calculate optimal reordering points. You probably can use seasonal ARIMA to forecast coffee use. I know this is just going to come off as sour grapes, but how does a company like this get into YC?

Someone should be able to whip this up in a few days.
I once read a similar apocryphal narrative. Someone, kept receiving 0$ credit card bills and the company sent repeated reminders with warnings. The person called, sent letters to discuss the situation but to no avail. The person finally gave up and wrote a 0$ check and they stopped sending letters. However, it led to a computer systems crash as the credit card company software encountered a "Divide by Zero" error due to eh 0$ check.
For those that don't know, Audrey Tang was involved or wrote one of the early Perl6 VMs in Haskell iirc. I can't remember if it was Pugs or Parrot. The language still has Haskell roots.
“[B]etween 1995 and 2015, the number of full-time domestic students enrolled in graduate computer science programs increased by 45 percent, from 8,627 to 12,539 students, while the number of full-time international graduate students increased by about 480 percent, from 7,883 in 1995 to 45,790 in 2015.”

CS went from less than 50% to nearly 80% foreign graduate students over 10 years. Quite interesting!

This is definitely already a solved problem - for open or homogeneous platforms. This is why it's still an issue for everyone else... Microsoft's general attitude is, "everyone should use Outlook", Apple wants you to use Mail, Google wants everyone on Gmail, etc. I'm sure this is rarely an issue inside those companies - threading "just works" since coworkers all use the same clients. So not only do they have zero financial reason to support interop or openness, they probably don't even know its an issue.

The future of macOS development may be SwiftUI, but that's also the future of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS development.

But I think you're right. Catalyst (née Marzipan) is being pitched by Apple as a brilliant way to get a head start on porting iPad apps to the Mac, and should become the best way to write an app that you want both an iPad and Mac version of. But "Mac apps as we know them are dead" always struck me as histrionic, and today's presentation doesn't make me think that any less.
You’re right, it’s overwhelmingly foreign students in STEM. I guess non-STEM balances it out?
Haha, you've nicely described how things work but didnt provide any sane justification for it. But ok, ill play along. How much extra are we talking about? I've just cleaned trains for about 50 000 travelers with 4 people. In my previous job we bake half a million boxes of cookies with 8 people. Farmers however, they feed truly insane numbers. If we charge you 1 cent extra for things you wouldnt complaint about it. Lets see, that would be 50000 cent extra, 500 euro split 4 was. Shit, that would double my salary!

But dont worry about it. I get that you are just that cheap. (Joking)
