Among other reasons, most open source projects expect their dependencies to be things they can interact with like they're open source. It's one of the reasons OSS support for Windows is poorer than support for OSS platforms, despite Windows as a whole being far more popular. This might be close enough, in that developers can install it on their own, you can put it in CI, etc. But it's a barrier.
It just reduces the negative externalities; the result of ZEV credits is a pool of cars, some ICE and some EV, that in total have reduced emissions compared to if all of the cars were ICE.

But they still have significant emissions, and society isn't being compensated for them.

It's better than doing nothing, but that's about all the praise I'll give it!
Nice!

I had a similar idea, learning a language with Twitter.

You'd select a profile and it would crawl all Tweets and create a learning plan from it.

The idea was to learn how people actually talk and not some random DuoLingo stuff.
No, if you're going to make a silly argument you need to be aware that nurses are regulated by their licensing boards.

The HIPAA regulation is literally just a regulation that minimally impacts their handling of patient data, not their professional practice. Their responsibility is literally to follow the data-protection policies set forth by the facilities they work for.

Technically I was once regulated by HIPAA as well...when working for healthcare clients, with respect to patient data.

Putting carbon taxes towards externality mitigation would be double dipping. The whole point of the carbon tax is that it is pure incentive as it is, nothing more should be needed.

And giving the carbon tax back to people as a dividend is not pandering, it's making a highly regressive tax progressive.

Giving money directly to people is the purest and most effective form of economy pumping. So while carbon-intensive businesses are hurt other's will benefit; recession fears are completely overblown.

And the carbon tax is the most efficient form of carbon mitigation strategy. Did you see the recent news about Doug Ford's plan being twice as expensive as the carbon tax?[1] And it is imposes the costs almost exclusively on industry, increasing the chance of a recession much more than the carbon tax it would replace.

I wonder if a startup opportunity exists to be a B2B only provider that has all the infrastructure trappings of an AWS or Google Cloud, but never selling directly your services on the open market, but instead selling your services contractually to other businesses (in a sense, not sure if my terms are lining up here).

If this is a million dollar idea, I'm just going to give it away I guess, so here goes nothing in explaining it!

Imagine an AWS/Google Cloud like company that only sells B2B, so Cockroach for instance, could pay this company to host their own cloud offerings, plus sell through other cloud offerings of the said B2B service but under their marketing umbrella. The B2B service gets a nice chunk for administration et. el plus some fixed percentage of gross (maybe? i dunno what it'd look like).

I think if you contractually obligate yourself as a business to never sell cloud services directly (only via partners like, in this instance of theory, cockroachDB, but it could redis, mongo, whatever), it'd be a fairly stable and comfortable arrangement.

Could also be a way for other SAAS companies to buy into infrastructure without indirectly funding a potential competitor too.

Maybe its too complicated to achieve, though.
Also, Apple can break sites and people can’t leave mobile Safari. Sites are forced to test on Safari. If a site doesn’t work with Firefox - oh well.
One thing I never saw in the writeup is:

Why use discrete components to build the instrumentation amp?

Surely, there is an integrated version of a differential amp that has the required specs in one chip somewhere for <$50?

> In the common situation where the consumer is being fast enough to always drain the queue before it fills

There is literally no application I'm aware of where you can hold this assumption, if only because of the existence of swap memory and the way OSes page tasks in and out.

If you accept data-loss in the case of "poor performance on the consumer", you are tacitly accepting data-loss whenever that thread hits the "wrong" memory address that happened to have been swapped to disk, and now has to wait 10ms+ before that task can continue.

Its effectively random data loss from the perspective of the user.

EDIT: I had a tangent here, but I probably shouldn't try to write a lock-free queue in one try in a stream of consciousness post. I just deleted it all, I probably had a subtle bug somewhere anyway.

------------

Seriously: look at the code in the blogpost. I'm not 100% convinced its bug free. The consumer-thread is still interacting with the "write" and "watermark" variables, and those two variables are NOT being updated atomically by the producer queue.

I think they manage to squeak by due to SeqCst, but its a very difficult "proof". I'm not entirely sure I can "prove" that the blogpost's code is correct.

But hey, if you think the code is fine, convince me why the following is NOT a bug.

=== In the "producer" thread ====

buffer.write.store(buffer.write.load() + write_len)

Mind you, I don't think its a bug. But its really difficult for me to prove it. So I'm curious, why are you confident in their methodology when the above is such a difficult line to grok? And there's not a single compare-and-swap talked about in the entire blogpost (so they're definitely not using the "standard" methodology... to lock-free code)
cheers, i've applied that now
I like these updates just as much as everyone else, but I can't help but think they seem a little bit like biting the hand that feeds you. What will they do when Google decides against renewing their Firefox search contract? Mozilla is highly dependent on the hundreds of million of dollars this contract provides. The politics of this situation are interesting for sure.
To complement this.

Inductive Logic Progamming (ILP) is a class of machine learning algorithms that learn logic programs from examples and background knowledge (where background knowledge is a logic theory, i.e. another logic program, as ar the examples).

SAT is the boolean satisfiability problem, the problem of finding variable assignments to the variables of a boolean formula that make the formula true.

So the two are not similar and one is not an instance of the other.

The δILP paper describes a differentiable ILP system that learns logic programs with a differentiable logic representation.

Finally, the paper above (SATNet) describes a differentiable satisfiabiilty solver that can be incorporated in a neural network architecture to enable the nerual net to solve satisfiability problems and perform reasoning.
I definitely have an Apple ID. But I don't have iCloud enabled, and without it, having an Apple ID doesn't bother me.

My Apple ID isn't my normal email address and that hasn't been a problem: people don't contact me through it and Apple doesn't force me to publish it to others.

I'm looking at the labels and quickly realizing that I don't have a clue when I first started reading Hacker News. I kept going back and forth finding stories that I remember reading and important stories that I completely missed.

I thought that I had only recently made an account only to realize that I had made this account 4 years ago. I suppose the effect is amplified since HN hasn't had any distinct "eras", be them in design, site rules or community.
I don't like it, but there is another option, with its own set of trade-offs: force mobile users to download your app.

The only times I saw people use kik for anything is when I was in the mood for a little recreational degeneracy and made the mistake to browse 4chan's /b/ and suddenly spammy kik threads pop up left and right advertising "trades" "no rules" "teens".

That is not to say, this is the only kik users, it's just the only instances I anecdotally saw people advertise their kik handles, and it didn't leave a good impression. This ICO stuff made me think of that.

Late reply here, but I was referring to the one-sided aspect. Just seems unlikely to me that someone would realistically intend for a one-sided copy of currency to be believed as real. Just seems like the threshold for printing both sides is so low that anyone who only printed one side must not really be intending for it to be taken as real, at least not for very long.
TBH, I think _renaming_ CockroachDB would do it more good than relicensing. All other things being equal, I think it is safe to say that nobody wants any cockroaches in their infrastructure. I think it's also safe to say that few people know in detail what CockroachDB is, and its name creates additional friction to more people figuring it out. If you disagree, call your next database project TurdDB or something and see how it does in the marketplace. Names matter.

Call it something high-tech sounding and inoffensive. Now that it has some notoriety it no longer needs a controversial name.
As a teenager I had a short but curious list of ironies I collected.

The first was a postcard from my grandparents’ church thanking me for attending their service “last Sinday”. I regret I eventually lost that card.

My favorite was an on-air editorial from a local student-run public radio station. The young woman was lamenting the grief her fellow broadcasters were receiving from the community about pronunciation.

Either deliberately or regrettably, she consistently mispronounced “mispronunciation” by using /ow/ instead of /uh/ for the third syllable.

I miss WAJC. Great eclectic music selection, but Butler University sold it about 25 years ago to fund a TV studio instead.
Definitely not true. I have about a dozen choice badges which come and go and it's definitely not related to margin.
> Both of these advantage Apple.

And privacy-conscious users. Which is me. I always create an account using email instead of using FB/Goog login, but now I don't have to share my real email address for any service that I just want to try out.
Money doesn't make a difference in grad school because everybody is there on some kind of fellowship or research grant. Certainly no international student I've ever met, Chinese or otherwise has paid a cent of tuition past undergrad. Only exceptions would be medical school, MBA and specialist MSc programs offered through business schools.
Thank you for your input. Do you a blog or provide information for buyers to better find your clients wares?
Hm, is that a matter of personal taste? I get the prompt for each major version update, but since it takes a few clicks to get back in after an update, one more doesn't bother me. I don't get it on point releases. There's a message about iCloud photo backups when looking at space usage but it's not even a popup/dialog, you can scroll right past it. So it doesn't bother me.

Looking harder, I think what's happening is I do have iCloud, I just don't use it. I don't have automatic backups of photos, I don't have iCloud Drive (what it prompts me for on software updates), etc. Everything is unchecked except Find My iPhone. I haven't had any downside from having iCloud in this active-but-unused state.

The entertainment provided per amount of CO2 is probably better than lots of other forms of entertainment, since there's thousands watching only dozens of cars. Like I'm sure skydiving or going on a cruise is worse for the environment per person.
$900 is still far below the price level of even the bottom end range of interchangable lens bodies, never mind body+lens.

The bottom end for such bodies is around $1500. Add another $100 for a low end lens, or ~$1000 for a low end Leica level lens to match the $900 for the huawei.

You are essentially getting a free phone and camera with a (slightly worse than interchangable-level quality) leica lens with the P30.
Lock-in is more than just "not giving you the chance to opt out ahead of time"

It's also "give you the chance to opt out LATER after you've invested some time into it."

Most people don't change defaults. So if they buy an iPhone, they are going to go all in on iMessage, whether they've heard of those horror stories of people losing messages or not.

Then, if they ever think they could switch to another OS, they experience the friction you describe, and decide it's not worth it after all.
Webmasters should have thought of that before littering their website with hundreds of off-site scripts and packaging all data and behavior and sending it off to dozens of tracking companies.

What you describe is called Mandatory Access Control, which is in contrast and supplements standard UNIX Discretionary Access Control (user/file permissions). It is implemented on Linux with AppArmor in addition to SELinux.

I would guess the biggest hurdle in using such systems is the complexity and expertise required in drafting the specific rules that should apply in your threat model.
They're still having enterprise features. The formerly open source core is now using this new non-free (in the sense of FSF or Debian free software guidelines) license, but they are not dropping their enterprise add-on.
If you're running docker with the "userns-remap" option, it is a form of sandbox insofar as any userspace isolation provided by Linux is a sandbox; you would probably need a root privilege exploit to break out of it. If there are root privelege exploits in Linux, they should obviously be fixed.

Of course, we should be aware that exploits are quite likely to exist, since much of Linux was designed without a notion of namespaces.

For me, the main issue with docker in terms of security is that it's not clear what security you're giving up when running containers (eg, various projects expect you to do `docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ...`, and things like `docker-compose` essentially specify arbitrary invocations of containers). When ways of escaping are discovered, they get fixed, since those escaping mechanisms are not really considered part of the execution model for containers.

As a criticism I think this lacks perspective. Presumably you want them to be driving electric cars in a circle. Electric cars are 19th century technology:

Formula E is good. It's improving year by year and the Gen2 car is a clear improvement over the Gen1 car. You can watch past races on their YouTube channel:

Submitting a paper to a conference for it to be published 11 months later is not going to work - the paper will be hopelessly obsolete by then.

A better solution imo is to improve openreview.net process somehow, so that I'm motivated to go there, find papers relevant to my research (ideally get notified when such papers are posted for review), and leave a review (and perhaps vote on other reviews just like we do here on HN, or do something else to influence the acceptance decision). Obviously there should be methods to prevent abuse: moderators, reputations of reviewers, restricting reviewers to those with specific publications (e.g. based on keywords), etc. Btw, code reproducibility could be used to give some weight in such public review process.

I'm not a lawyer or in any way speaking for Cockroach Labs, but the Additional License Grant in their license looks to allow "contractors" to do that kind of thing. It's you or your lawyer's call as to whether you're safe in your scenario, but it seems to me that the answer is yes.
The xbox itself was pretty uninspiring. It was an underpowered budget PC, but someone said, "hey, let's take this gamespy app that people use for matchmaking and put it on a game console..." and suddenly it was christmas morning when you unwrapped Mario64 all over again.

The xbox WAS xbox live matchmaking. It made online multiplayer on the console mainstream.

One use case for modelines was specifying the encoding of the file:

# vim: set fileencoding=iso-8859-1

Trivia bit: the Python interpreter understands Vim and Emacs modelines as encoding declaration for source files: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/#defining-the-encod...

Another use case was specifying the indentation scheme for the file for weird conventions like "2 space indentation with 4-column tabs" (first level is two spaces, second level is one tab, third level is one tab plus two spaces...)

Fortunately now everything's UTF-8 and weird indentation schemes are uncommon.

I backed your Kickstarter for Flutter. If I may be honest it was one of the most poorly executed of any I've backed (well over 30 on KS or IndieGogo). You delivered over a year late, from what I remember (I never received product as I'm likely one of the few you refunded), and there were slews of backers you promised things to individually that were "noisy". Groups of us communicated off of KS about the debacle and compared your comms. Your friends or family were posting to defend you which made the situation worse and more polarized. I will agree that you failed and hopefully you learned from it. Learned the importance of communication, the importance of being honest, the importance of following through. Not because of me, but because you've associated your name with the bad execution and because of that there's no way I'd be able to buy or back anything if I saw you were associated.
I wonder if it is because neovim's testing is setup differently and they wanted to port the patch immediately rather than spend time which they might not have had at the moment to rewrite the test. I suppose the patch was tested upstream, though you would want the test in neovim to prevent a future regression.
lol. You're right. Point taken.

Have the net founders in that list discussed the topic recently? I only see results from 2007, and it's about legislation, not policy, so it could have meant something different at that time.

It is unsurprising that investors like Andreessen are opposed to net neutrality: they stand to get richer without it. Regional broadband monopolies can strong arm content providers for higher prices by zero-rating services that become "part of the [insert telecom name here] network".

Regional broadband monopolies suck.

When buying a product I look for the reviews about it breaking. Once I know all the common ways the product might break I have a bit of an idea how long it will last. I can then also look up how much the replacement parts for the most likely to break parts cost as well as how hard they are to replace.

In my experience a lot of products have a single design flaw that causes almost all of the breakages excluding drops/water damage. I had a set of skullcandy headphones that the little arm thing on the ear part would snap just from the force of putting them on and taking them off too many times. Got a replacement and it happened again. Checked reddit and saw everyone has this same problem. Ended up getting the store to exchange them for a different pair.
