If bicyclists were capable of zipping around at speeds of +40 mph, compared to car traffic, I would have fewer problems with making them share the road with cars.

Many accidents currently occur because most cyclists aren't able to pedal fast enough to ride the center of a lane (Without making every motorist in a 50 yard radius want to kill them, for obstructing traffic.)

So, they end up riding on the shoulder, where they are less visible, are more likely to get doored, are more likely to be killed by people who don't shoulder check on right turns, are often passed with a great speed differential, but only inches of clearance...
I know how to make A380 profitable, but you may not like it...

Put 1000 economy class seats into it and fly NYC-London, or Tokyo-SF till it falls apart. I otherwise have no idea how in the world can it make money.

I seriously believe that second hand A380s will eventually see this fate.
My Best Hacker
I was newly married then my wife and I planned on getting a new house but our credit scores were low and I also had a few credit card debts. A friend of mine introduced me to best hacker named Jack Craig. I cotacted him immediately and he helped me increase my credit score to 810 excellent and cleared all negatives on my credit report and i got approved for a House loans, and mortgage and all. He`s also help me clear all my credit card debts. He`s the best out there. Contact him on his regular email for your credit repair jackcraigcreditrepairer@gmail.com you can also reach him on his mobile +14135294026.
It's not that the system integration is so wonderful, it's that they make it extremely difficult to work outside of it for no reason.

A few years ago I had a friend who wanted a song put on her iphone. I've never used one but I assumed I could do exactly what I've done with every other phone/MP3 player in the universe and just connect it to my laptop via USB and move the file over to some folder called "music" or something. Nope. Needs Itunes. I fire up a VM and install itunes, she has to log into everything and authorize the phone for that machine (with a warning that she can only do this so many times) and then I was able to get the file on her phone but not before it synced her entire library onto my machine (wtf). A few days later her friend is over and she wants the same song on her phone. I still have the VM with itunes installed so we give it a try and it wipes every song on her phone. The whole thing was 100% obnoxious and unnecessary. Really put me off of Apple when every other product "Just Works" while apple requires you to jump through insane hoops for basic functionality the moment you dare to Think Different and do something in a way other than exactly how they want you do things
Your argument about N messages per event is wrong though. You don't have to broadcast logical clocks to every other node necessarily, that's another issue. As long as every node in the system multicasts the logical clocks, the system-wide clocks will still "move forward" together.

AFAIK, HN hasn't has any posts about the disappearance or reappearance. We should probably have one, rather than this.

This particular article is just loud axe grinding and baseless complaining. For instance, it labels the original Bloomberg report "fake news" and a "false story," when it was in fact pretty careful with its words and spent a significant amount of prominent space casting doubt on the report. You can read it yourself here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-30/north-kor....

This blog post is not so much about "how western corporate media handled a story about North Korea" but how Ben Norton of thegrayzone.com feels about the Western media and how he wants us to feel about it too.
In the cases described at that link, "the investors were required to sign up with the issuers' web sites and disclose valuable personal information in order to obtain shares. Free stock recipients were also offered extra shares, in some cases, for soliciting additional investors or, in other cases, for linking their own websites to those of an issuer or purchasing services offered through an issuer."

The airdropped tokens I've seen did none of those things. Someone simply created a token contract and granted initial balances based on the ETH balances of existing addresses. The new owners don't even have to know the tokens exist.

I was able to achieve way better performance by changing this to `true` in `about:config`:

Another note, performance seems way better when changing the following to `true`:

gfx.webrender.all

If anyone with deeper understanding of these options has any reasons why this is a bad idea I'm all ears. Otherwise it's made my experience way better.

However, there are significant differences.
> One factor is that a capitalist business mindset is badly corrosive to an artistic temperament.

Not sure I agree. In fairly recent memory I can think of a number of artistic successes that were huge risks. It’s easy to forget that the first “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie scared the shit out of Sony, and with good reason. It had a blockbuster budget and starred a contentious, commercially unproven actor doing an incredibly risky performance. To this day I suspect that Johnny Depp fully expected the movie to tank, and would have been quite happy if that had happened.

Marvel’s investment in “Iron Man” wasn’t too far off that mark either. Its star had only recently been in the throes of drug problems so severe that at once point he wandered into a neighbor’s house and feel asleep naked in their bed. IIRD correctly the director’s biggest movie up to that time was “Swingers”.

To me there were a couple of watershed moments in hip-hop that could have destroyed the careers of the people who finally said “yes”. Rap before “Straight out of Compton” was pretty much just supercharged melodic R&B with talking. Whoever signed Eminem was taking a serious risk as being guilty of the next Vanilla Ice.

The XBox wasn’t greeted with any sense of inevitability. Microsoft had to deal with game developers in ways it had never worked with companies before. Its relationship to hardware was spotty (though I loved just about everything they tried). It was not at all clear that an accomplished systems/app company had any expertise at all in the Byzantine politics, personalities, and economics of the game world.

It might also be worth pointing out that the majority of IMDB raters are males in their 30's so it is going to be heavily biased towards what appeals to males in their 30's. I think there is a lot of overlap between what different genders and age groups enjoys still but it still shows a pretty clear bias. You can filter the ratings down by gender or age group to get a better impression.

The Posner article is from 1970 when exclusive local franchises were legal. Congress outlawed them in 1992: https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/OSEC/library/legislative_...

> SEC. 7. AWARD OF FRANCHISES; PROMOTION OF COMPETITION.
(a) ADDITIONAL COMPETITIVE FRANCHISES.-
(1) AMENDMENT.-Section 621(a)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 541(a)(1)) is amended by inserting before the period at the end the following. ; except that a franchising authority may not grant an exclusive franchise and may not unreasonably refuse to award an additional competitive franchise. Any applicant whose application for a second franchise has been denied by a final decision of the franchising authority may appeal such final decision pursuant to the provisions of section 635 for failure to comply with this subsection.

The 1996 Telecom Act also mandated non-discriminatory competitive access to poles and rights of way: https://pubs.naruc.org/pub/635DF852-FCB3-B3A2-D381-9A307381F....

Most big cities--which have the density to have multiple viable wire-line competitors--don't have competition for the same reason they have high housing prices. They make it onerous to build infrastructure. Baltimore, for example, would be a great Google Fiber city. It has city-owned conduits everywhere that would make deployment relatively easy. But nobody wants to build fiber there, because the city insists that every neighborhood has to be wired up, without regard to potential demand: https://www.wypr.org/post/why-comcast-one-and-only-cable-and...

> “We’ve, in fact, asked other cable operators if they’re interested in coming into the city and, so far, nobody else is,” says Minda Goldberg, a chief solicitor in the city’s Law Department.

https://www.wired.com/2014/06/holding-back-high-speed-intern...

> But don’t pop the champagne. Many factors could derail the progress. One is a complaint sometimes raised when Google, in particular, starts negotiating with a community. The complaint? The new investment will create a digital divide because Google does not commit to connect every neighborhood. The argument, while sometimes well-intentioned, ignores history, economics, and the reality of the digital divide. Moreover, its proponents fail to acknowledge the consequences of their arguments.

> As we have seen in Gig.U negotiations, must-build requirements make projects unsustainable. Communities can wish for anything they want but if the economics don’t work, it won’t happen. Recently, Los Angeles put out a request for proposal (RFP) seeking a guaranteed citywide fiber build out. Broadband policy expert Harold Feld correctly noted, “I look forward to their RFP for a unicorn supplier, because I think it's about as likely under these terms.”
Uber deserves to be burned to the ground just for the legal shenanigans it played, but if in this case they were above the board, then it's fair to say so.

I think it's a normal practice in every industry to try to find out who your competitors really are. Whether that information should be made public or not is a different question, but it doesn't make it inherently false. Instead of naively believing in carefully crafted rebuttals, people should try to verify the facts by themselves.
This is great for grandparents, but I'm not trusting Firefox or any browser to block ads/cookies/JS. I don't expect many people who are already using 3rd party addons and extensions to disable that stuff to stop because of this

Loved the show but felt that it was a bit heavy on the fear-mongering.

EDIT* What I mean by this is that the facts were dramatized for effect, at a time when we need to change societal opinions on nuclear more than ever.
North Korea kills dissidents all the time. We were wrong on this one, but there were plenty others we weren't wrong on. It's hard to be right when NK controls all media; we have to make guesses to get through their bullshit.

NK does not want peace FYI, and they are quite clear about it. They returned a US prisoner back to us recently, and he had been tortured to the point of being braindead.
That is seriously weird. I don't have the fastest machine possible yet FF starts in a second or two.

Bigger problem are the apps that consume too much CPU and memory. Unfortunately there is no nice way to avoid their killing the whole system (Linux here). But other browsers are no better. The browser makers should realize they are delivering a multiuser OS and protect the resources accordingly.
Actually:

And what % of people that actually have alternatives like FiOS (unlike me) don't subscribe to comcast? Saying 50% of subscribers in Comcast's footprint is prevaricating about the bush AF. Why, you ask? If 50% of potential Comcast subscribers have an alternative to Comcast, that would mean 100% of people with an alternative are taking advantage of the free market. Which would mean that 100% of the people remaining are likely forced to subscribe through a lack of access to alternatives.

I don't even have working voice cell coverage at my house, much less data. Again, almost certainly due to a an entrenched monopoly limiting the market outreach of competition, and thereby obviating the requirement that they themselves perform adequately enough to retain customers.

Fast yes, but more insecure. Using prime sized tables will get all hash bits being used. With power of 2 you can get away with the mod, but it's easier to crack, and the grow factor is bigger than the ideal fibonacci sequence, or a prime sequence.

This was basically the plot of the Black Mirror episode "Arkangel" [0]

We need to give kids more space to discover their own limits, and to get hurt. I look at the kids in "Stranger Things" riding their unsupervised across town, playing in a junk yard, and I remember doing that stuff (child of the 80s/early 90s here.) Staying out until the streetlights came on. Yes, we got injured. Yes, I ended up in parts of town I probably shouldn't have been in. Occasionally, I got my ass kicked. This was all part of growing up for most of human history.

I never see the kids in my neighborhood doing that. I've never seen any of them leave the street, and always with the parents on the patio, chatting with each other. The last time I saw a roving band of 9-to-13 year-olds biking around town was probably the early 2000s.

I kind of understand what changed media- and culture-wise, but has the real world actually changed that much in 25 years to merit the sort of constant-supervision-every-moment-planned-and-accounted-for world kids now grow up in?

Try to create a new profile to compare nondestructively: "firefox --ProfileManager"

Most endangered species would not be so if it wasn't for human intervention and over-consumption. It's arguable that saving a species from extinction is leaving nature alone.

Well crap, now I have yet another reason to lose sleep tonight. I always thought Vim and text-files were safe.

Detects these cases... and does what?

What can the OS do for you if your consuming thread has for example taken a lock and is now stalled on a page fault triggering IO from spinning disk that could take seconds to finish? Nothing that I'm aware of - you just have to wait until it runs again and releases the lock.

That's why people write lock-free - they don't want a stall or death of the one thread to stall other threads. Deadlock, lovelock, priority inversion.

Read the Wikipedia page for a starting point of motivations for lock-free.
Yes, of course it's impossible to literally leave zero trace, but with education and the intent to respect nature, it's possible to radically reduce ones impact to the point where no one should feel guilty about enjoying the natural environment.

In many areas (such as delicate alpine areas) that's managed through permitting and restrictions on the numbers of people, though of course it still requires those permitted people to follow best practices and attempt to minimize their impact.
