I don’t think it’s worth the effort trying to pin down what greatness is. I mean, what’s the point? Does being “great” make you a better person? Who is giving out gold stars for greatness? Why does it matter?
As an Indian in the US, I do not understand what is acceptable, and what is not.

Eg: An elderly woman was sharing Uber pool with me. She was complaining to someone over the phone about how Uber's new app does not have an option. I knew that the option was present, just that they moved it to a different page in the app. Should I communicate this to her after her phone call? What if she thinks I'm listening to her private conversation? I finally didn't tell her anything.

Tariffs are forcing Big Tech to move production out of China
I'm heading down this path right now. How do I obtain my certs while also allowing enough freedom for the dev teams to operate.

We have to deal with the fallout when they screw something up, there has to be a happy medium somewhere.
There are also plenty of thieves in the world. Must we all become one "in order to remain competitive"?
Clearly the solution is to leave the phone at home. It's not like you need it. (Crazy talk, right?) Or for added flair you can try dropping it off at the wrong airport or leaving it in a cab or on a train or something, but that seems riskier.
Also a Seattle resident; I don't think you speak for all Seattlites.
The bigger EPYCs have four NUMA zones per socket (at least the 7551P does).
The family living next to the tent city will be much happier without its property being constantly broken into ($300 window repair for the sin of leaving $5 in change in the cup holder), or the other acts that the opioid-dependent are willing to do to avoid withdrawals.
Sounds not too big magnitude in difference -- I'll give that a try
It will probably work, thanks to some Japan-specific quirks: every two years, cars are subject to a "tax and inspection" fee that can run up to $1500, which causes a lot of people to just buy a new car instead when it comes around. Also, Japanese tax law encourages frequently buying company cars and letting employees use them as their main vehicle, in lieu of additional salary. So Japan already gets old cars off the road very quickly.

(Note: I don't think this is a great system, and it's pretty obviously a hidden subsidy for the Japanese auto industry, but it does have the helpful side effect of ensuring that almost all cars on the road in Japan are fairly new and have the newest features)

I think you're misinterpreting the grandparent post because they said "unwelcome and unsocial behavior". I believe they were trying to talk more about practical problems.

No one really wants to have to deal with used heroin needles on the ground.
A tremendous amount of these homeless don't want to quit heroin. They don't want to live in shelters. They want to live in a tent and shoot heroin.

There is a heroin addict that lives on one street I use to walk to work. He can't have more than a few years to live, he's as broken as humans get. The street he lives on is littered with literally hundreds of his used needles across bus stops, gardens, yards, paths. He defecates on the street and in bags that he leaves around.

Letting people do this legally, which Seattle now de facto does, is not appropriate.
I guess it depends on whether CERN merits academic status or not. If it does, then this is fine. If it doesn't then I agree.

It seems to me that CERN is a research institute but whether that is counted as an academic institution, from a licensing POV, is a different question
> it's completely absurd to pretend that the US is being friendly to SA as a means to effect change

Agreed. Also, where's the change? It feels like I've been hearing the same thing about SA since I was a kid.
That's the fault of lack of public transport investment, but you will never get that investment if you don't increase density. If you bring the entire Bay Area into the South Bay, people's commute distances will be shorter. You then build much better public transport and the traffic will be alleviated.

"High to medium density". Absolute nonsense. Have you seen the South Bay? What looks high density to you?
It's an awful idea. Same thing happens when police departments run ads claiming that there is a bad batch of crystal meth in town and to please bring yours in and the police will dispose of it and then they arrest people that show up.

Makes it super difficult for legitimate harm reduction organizations to get out actual information about possibly adulterated substances.
This is a simple fact of life and downvoting isn't going to change it.
Plugin cannot start processing before it gets data from previous plugin (sure it can do some tricks like pre-computing coefficients for filters etc). How are you going to get around it?
What's happening within a plugin of course can be parallelised, but other than that, the processing is inherently serial.
If a computing a filter takes X time and a length of the buffer is Y you can only compute so many filters (Y/X) before it starts stuttering. You can spread that across different cores, but these filters cannot be processed at the same time, because each needs the output of the previous one.
Approximately nobody is saying that we should invade SA and overthrow the government. But could we at least stop selling them weapons and giving them nuclear technology and giving them defensive cover from our military?
Rules are not rules when a person cannot not break them because of no control over the events in their life and their genetics leading them to break these rules.

I'm not saying it's fair that we don't allow people to be free to act upon what is bad. I'm saying the system needs to be designed to be a rehabilitation modal and not a punishment modal because it's dehumanizing, amoral, and unethical to punish a person who is forced into the circumstances. The punishment modal doesn't help fix the problem and keeps a system from evolving to where people can be fixed like illnesses in the healthcare system.
Fizbuzz qualifies as an "interview process" now? The exercise is pointless, it wastes everybody's time and only an amateur would use it.

Ask HN: What features are essential in a “Chat” app? (Take 2)
(I asked this earlier, but submissions can fall off the front page quickly, and I'm submitted at a different time to try to hit a different HN demographic.)

For interest, I and some colleagues have written a "Chat" app. Think SMS, but with extra features that make it "interesting".

It's end-to-end encrypted, distributed, resists traffic analysis, decentralised, and generally we're finding it a useful alternative to existing alternatives.

We have our own ideas about what to add next, but it's probably the right time to get out of our fishbowl and get ideas from a wider potential audience. We're not looking for reactions from the world in general, this won't ever be used for sharing pictures of cats or videos of pratfalls, so I suggested to my colleagues that HN might be the place to ask for opinions on what might be regarded as essential.
‘Socialism for the rich’: the evils of bad economics
EasyList has 91k rules. Combine that with malware domain lists and other regional lists, and you can easily get to that limit.

I just checked and my uBlock Origin -- which doesn't have any social filter lists applied -- has 148,339 rules applied in total.
I recommend Nextcloud as well. For anyone interested but without self-hosting a server, I've had great experience hooking it up with my Disroot (disroot.org) email account which offers 4gb (free) storage.
If you would have asked me a few weeks ago I would have said a Honor 10. As of right now it would probably have to be a Xiaomi Mi9 SE.
Users data should be stored on the network, some data may be local.

If the user has read/write access to the network, so does anything the user run.

A user with local admin access and installing malicious software has a higher risk of propagating everywhere.

A sibling post just use an old example of the ILOVEYOU virus that didn’t require admin access to run or spread.

Somebody clicked on a link, somebody was spear-phished.

And if that happens, and if the user gave up their username and password. The perpetrator has access to everything the user has access to. The perpetrator will probably target a user with the access they desire. You say enforce two factor authentication? That’s also easy to scam out of user - get then to tell you the 2FA code. It was happening to Uber drivers.

If you can’t trust the user not to do something stupid, you can’t trust anything that the user runs not to do something malicious or be tricked into giving up confidential information.
Do we really want people chasing karma on here? I'd be tempted to go the other way, and limit the visibility and usefulness of it. I.e., on user profiles just show "between 1-50 karma", "500+ karma".
This is a pretty disappointing result.

I've noted TiDB's weak transaction isolation guarantees before, which were not well documented. In particular, they claimed phantom reads were not possible, which this test shows isn't true.

That said, it looks like these issues aren't fundamental design problems and can be fixed.
The support note that I linked about iWork says that with iCloud, "versions of your documents across all devices are saved periodically as you work on them," which is why I suspect there is a versioning feature exposed at the application level. As I noted, I see this in iA Writer, too. Unfortunately this doesn't help your use case, though.
> It's been done, though only in an academic setting

> As an aside, I wonder now much of the use of Lisp machines was non-academic. I know that there were actual commercial companies selling them, but where those mostly university spinoffs selling back to universities?

I would think that roughly 10000 hardware Lisp machines were built (incl. embedded boards). Quite a lot went into research, but not just academic research, but also company R&D.

Some machines were built as deployment machines and were used by military, government agencies (like NASA) and also commercial.

Notable were for example the graphics systems by Symbolics which were widely used in high-end graphics for TV and animation studios. A lot of computer animated logos you were seeing in TV in the mid/end 80s were done with them.

Examples:

But there were a bunch of other early deployed applications on Lisp Machines: 3d cad (iCAD), American Express Authorizer (credit authorization expert system), scheduling for the Hubble Space Station, scheduling for power plant operations, seat allocation optimization for swissair, early military troop virtual reality training system, satellite image processing, ...
I don't care about seeing disclosed, paid ads so much as seeing YouTube's garbage recommendations algorithm. If they offered a paid program to entirely disable the recommendations section and get back a proper chronologic playlist of my subscriptions I'd be sorely tempted to pay for that. (I hate YouTube's Autoplay and disable it on every device.)

As it stands it is probably a lot healthier for me not to pay for YouTube Premium: the more obnoxious they try to make the ad breaks (and they have), the more it becomes a continual reminder I should not use YouTube and should encourage the people I follow to explore other less-user-hostile platforms for sharing their video content.
> and the companies get less profitable as well

Imagine how high profits could be if they didn't have to pay a wage at all!

No way I would want to swap with any of the big CEOs. I don’t enjoy business enough to do it 24/7. Same for being leader of a country. No way I would want to do that.
I'm torn on this list. It is important to learn from the mistakes from others, so I like it (postmortems are great for this reason), BUT it feels like folks are using these examples as reasons to stay away from Kubernetes. There could be a significantly larger list of system failures where K8s is not involved. Similarly there could probably be a list of "Encryption Failure Stories" but that doesn't mean we shouldn't encrypt things.

As an industry, one of the things we do pretty well is identify the most viable patterns to solve a problem and then develop and adopt the best primitives of those patterns. This is what Kubernetes is for creating reliable, scalable, distributed systems.

I would argue the violence has nothing to do with the drugs and everything to do with the legality -- you, as an upstanding citizen, can't seek legal protection for your chosen trade so have to provide your own protection outside the legal frameworks.
Frankly speaking, when it comes to Muslim countries and women, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Turkey and perhaps Indonesia among some others have a great record (relatively). But biggest improvement seems to be coming from Pakistan of all the places.

Saudis and other strict regimes should look into changes that enforces protection and rights and freedom for women. The more well educated and economically integrated women are (along with men), it is better for society.
> IPv4 and NAT require maintaining a lot of state at critical intermediate routers. I'm sure we've all experienced (perhaps regularly) a NAT'ing router losing state because of a reboot, state tables overflowing, or similar hiccups.

As far as I can see, that state is not very important for the mobile IP design describe in the article. A router reboot or other hiccups are handled more or less the same way as an address change (there is a temporary connectivity loss, and when it's restored, you create a new mapping on the Y server between the existing connection, identified by the same old uuid, and the new external/internal addresses/ports of the client X).

Also, the zoning laws are fucking stupid. Of course if you zone low density residential and then zone commercial 2 miles away people can't walk there.

Walkability is a key factor, we need to stop using cars. Copenhagen is an absolute dream compared to here.
When reading your argument, I can't help but think about a stat a Polish journalist computed. At that point, reading the law at the pace it came out would take about four (or was it six) hours per day. That's assuming you read law as fast as prose and don't need to read the preexisting acts.
How exactly is CERN involved with that?
Actually the ability to change the background as already suggested, just like the top, would be great.

I wince every time I see someone say something can't be made parallel, but this actually not the way to do it. You would want a chunk of samples to be dealt with on the same CPU as it goes through plugin transformations. This would give data locality.

Then other CPUs would be free to start the next chunk of samples. The amount of parallelism is going to depend on the buffer size and number of samples each plugin needs to operate.
My guess: they account for miles driven. If the elderly are driving less frequently and for shorter distances you can probably assume no long daily commutes during rush hour, and less driving during evenings and inclement weather when accidents are likely to occur.

Here's some data on the subject matter: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm

65+ drive roughly the same amount as 16-19 year olds. Driving peaks in the 35-54 cohort and drops sharply from there. I imagine drivers who are pushing 80 are driving significantly less than their cohort overall.

Sync claims that, if you have the Sync setup create your own encryption key on your device, files are end-to-end encrypted. I believe them. Moreover, Sync support confirmed that they do not have access to meta-data about your files either. Thus, their admins do not have access to your unencrypted files or information about them.

They support all the usual devices both on the desktop and mobile apps.

Their servers are located in Canada, not the U.S., if geography matters to you from a privacy perspective.

I will also second that Sync seems much speedier than Dropbox. Startup / connection time is maybe 50% faster on my dated machine. (Dropbox seems to say Connecting... forever!)

You can run both Dropbox and Sync.com at the same time if you want to migrate slowly. I use Dropbox for non-sensitive files (e.g. rando family pictures) and Sync.com for sensitive files (e.g. birth certificates, financial files). With Sync.com and their more thorough end-to-end encryption, I feel safer that my file data cannot be used for random studies or anything else Dropbox feels like they can justify [0].

This is an old story.

The update is the Spanish gov fining the league 1/240th of their top player’s salary (250k/61m) for abusing 10m of their residents’ personal technology and privacy.

Another way of putting it is 1/100th of the team salary for the lowest spending team (250k/24m). Which, in-turn, spends 1/33rd as much as the top spender.

Right, but the longer it's loitering, the more fuel and/or battery it's wasting. Likewise, the further "away" it drives, the more fuel and/or battery it's wasting.

The ideal will always be for it to park (or better yet: charge) as soon and as close as possible, and to delay "unparking" and departing for pickup until as late as possible. It's possible that some people will want to subvert that somewhat (i.e. "please park at this specific parking garage instead of the closest" or "please loiter for a couple minutes and wait for me"), but - again - I ain't convinced those will actually amount to a significant traffic impact.

EDIT: as another bonus, self-driving cars don't have to worry about whether or not the driver can get in/out during these "wait for my owner to need me again" periods, so they can park in much tighter parking spaces while they wait.

Externally, my observation was the monetization of the platform was competing with development. When Galaxy came out, feature work on Meteor slowed down. Hungry VCs wanting their return and rapid growth, I suppose. It would've benefitted more from growing organically longer, before going for monetization.
Ditto, there is a certain subset that feels unsafe in the city (like the cop that did an AMA on Reddit about how he doesn't feel safe on 3rd avenue without his gun) despite its relative safety. Some of these people, like the aformentioned cop, are a danger to those around them due to this mindset.

As a kid I caught busses every day on 3rd Ave without a problem, and yes, the same open drug dealing still happens at 3rd & Pine (by the crackDonalds), but that has been going on since before I moved here in 2003. When I transfer there now, not much has changed in terms of the people you'll see.

The level of danger hasn't changed, but the homelessness crisis has worsened and become much more visible as we fenced off the underside of bridges, replaced parking in the inner suburbs with bike lanes (in large part to push the van dwellers out) and rent has increased. We have an opioid crisis that is going untreated, high rents and few middle income jobs.

Our society is stratifying badly between the 90% that is getting poorer every year (and feels no hope) and the 10% that are able to afford rent in prime cities.
