What is the legal basis, if any, for getting rid of your investors for this or other reasons?
Seems like the study is largely inconclusive because creativity is difficult to measure.

I will say from my personal experience that I am far more creative when I am unmedicated versus when I am medicated. I've come up with great patentable ideas while unmedicated, but I am incapable of actually drafting up the patent applications unless I take my meds.

For me, taking ADHD meds is analogous to decreasing the RAM in my brain. I juggle fewer ideas and am able to concentrate on just one thing and actually produce something.
Zoos can serve as an opportunity for people from different demographics to be able to see a small sample of what the world has to offer. It can also help facilitate conservation efforts by allowing people to have direct & indirect interactions with the animals and professionals in the area, which they would not have otherwise.

Some people have advised to "Close Zoos and encourage people to see the animal in nature" without thinking of the unintended consequence of having millions of people swarming into these animals' natural habitat. If more people were to see animals in their habitats, it would likely lead to an increase in pollution, an increase in motor injury to the animals, more dangerous animal-to-human interaction in nature among many other issues.

If society believes that some animals should not be in captivity at all due to moral/practical reasons, it is worth asking: What other technologically driven solutions can be made/used to help people of all demographics experience what it is like to be in front of X animal? The solution may be to have a moving replica, a 3D simulator or something entirely different.

“hate groups” exist in the USA because this is a free country. In places without our commitment to freedom and human rights those type of groups would have been suppressed by the government.

Edit: just to be clear some of your other points are fair although I find the “Indian reservations” a bit dated - they are treated as local sovereigns (e.g. casinos, being allowed to violate state level hunting regulations) and are even now being allowed to expand their territory in some places .
Many people critique the system of global capitalism, however 'can we please return to feudalism', is not generally what most of them were meaning.
No, because this goes against the principles of most of the community.

It's why you didn't see anyone actually supporting Venezuela's Petro.
I was also confused by this, but my reading is this is entirely about branch prediction nothing about caching. In that context L1 and L2 simply refer to "first" and "second" level branch prediction strategies, and are not related to the L1 and L2 cache (in the same way that L1 and L2 BTB and L1 and L2 TLB are not related to L1 and L2 cache).

The way this works is there a fast predictor (L1) that can make a prediction every cycle, or at worst every two cycles, which initially steers the front end. At the same time, the slow (L2) predictor is also working on a prediction, but it takes longer: either throughput limit (e.g., one prediction every 4 cycles) or with a long latency (e.g., takes 4 cycles from the last update to make a new one). If the slow predictor ends up disagreeing with the fast one, the front end if "re-steered", i.e., repointed to the new path predicted by the slow predictor.

This happens only in a few cycles so it is much better than a branch misprediction: the new instructions haven't started executing yet, so it is possible the bubble is entirely hidden, especially if IPC isn't close to the max (as it usually is not).

Just a guess though - performance counter events indicate that Intel may use a similar fast/slow mechanism.
Right. But that goes for everything? When are we required to get concerned? Just mammals? All the way to bugs?
I visited D.C. recently and the National Mall is a decent 'padded room' for tourists to ride scooters, but even with large open areas and wide paths there were still numerous instances where scooters disrupted flow of pedestrians. I think Manhattan lacks the space necessary for tourists to ride the scooters, and everyone to store them, and introducing the scooters with existing strategies would quickly become a large safety and traffic congestion problem.

If they could do the following, then it may be possible: Restrict to residents and possibly allow visitors who have ridden a certain amount in other cities. Restrict availability in large parts of the city to certain hours. Strong enforcement of no riding on sidewalks. Scooters must be stored in docks or racks, may not be left on streets (providers must rent storefronts or space in/near bodegas with penalties for scooters left on streets).

Even with all of this, I still think the scooters would become burden.
Time spent on website?

Is that why answers are always buried in long articles or walls of text?

Seems a horrible metric.
> I feel like we got a “true successor to HyperCard” 20 years ago, in the form of Lotus Notes.

Setting aside that Lotus Notes preceded HyperCard, I'm still missing the connection. Notes seemed to be presented as an enterprise-y workflow tool, while HyperCard was more of a "bicycle for the mind" toy (which I mean in the best-possible sense).
Well, users would be happier with websites that showed fewer ads and had fewer tracking JS scripts slowing down the website. Will Google ever rank by that metric? Google is slowly but surely becoming an ad-infested link-farm kinda website, one they used to ban in their search results not too long ago.
"new instructions" and "register renaming" are on opposite sides of the spectrum. It's up to your compiler to carch up with insn set additions, but register renaming is invisible.
It's a neat idea, but the execution is not there.
How to Design a Mobile App for Outstanding User Experience

This is about avoiding US import duties, not avoiding Chinese export bans.
Indeed, this is why it's unlikely that hey have the patched microcode.
I believe even worse than showing you new sets of images is when the reCAPTCHA system gives you a "low trust score" and intentionally fades out the selected images, but very slowly, and replaces them with new images of the same type. Just downright feels abusive to the end user. Good luck if if you have tweaked any browser settings to be more amenable to privacy!

I wish more sites would implement a Jigsaw-puzzle-style similar to the Binance login captcha, but I can't speak to the efficiency of that in defeating bots.

While I'm sure China has made progress, which is great, it doesn't deter from the fact that there are a ton of human-rights violations that happen there all the time that would be front-page stories if they happened in the US.

I go back and forth about how I feel about us outsourcing to countries with labor violations, so I'm not even saying I disagree with you, but it's not a good argument to say "Well what about the US's problems?!?!". Yes, we're not perfect either, no one is arguing that we are, and we have a lot of things to apologize for and fix, but that's somewhat irrelevant to the discussion.
No but the jobs created will be American, feed american families, and those job skills can be transferred to create other American businesses.

I'm so glad I did not choose mechanical engineering as a college major, and instead opted for Computer Sciences. I wasn't around during the 70s and 80s but it appears the jobs in the engineering field has dried up.

Programming appears to be the only field that has resisted globalization, and even then there is still massive offshoring.
Last I checked, Twitter supports U2F, but only allows enrolling one key.

edit: I guess the thread is referring to multiple fallbacks that aren't U2F, but even still, if you're relying solely on U2F it's good practice to have more than one key lest you lose it and get locked out.
It is not defined in any standard. wcscmp, wcsfc and wcsnorm are missing. They should follow the unicode rules.

And not be locale run-time dependent, only config-time.

And then this wchar_t turkey in the standard which no-one needs at all. We need an u8* API only, nothing else.

The next C standard deliberately did nothing on all big open issues. Not even constexpr which is broken in gcc.

It's not confusing, it's just a huge mess.
While I agree with something of an abstraction of what they're saying, when I read things like this, it's hard for me to see anything but a person that wants to hijack the tyranny for themselves.
A few years ago I joined a company with "self-organizing" teams, which have many similarities to "structureless".

It was an awful experience, for me at least. Many important choices were made by people trying to avoid ruffling the feathers of the least-mature team member.

My woes were likely compounded by being mildly affected by Asperger syndrome: First, I have an innate preference for clear organization and structure. Second, it took tremendous mental/emotional energy to navigate the social/interpersonal minefield tied to every technical decision.

Perhaps my experience was unusual, but I cannot understand the thinking that leads upper-management to think this approach is a good idea.
Ah, you symlink ~ to swap as well? I see you too a user who likes to live dangerously :P
I do. I sleep 8 hours, wake up 2 hours before work, work 8 hours, and spend 6 hours in the evening afterwards. That's 1/3, 1/12, 1/3, and 1/4 of the day, or 3.33, 0.83, 3.33, 2.5 decimal hours.

You have a good point about taking it in context with the 'decimalization' of other units of measure, but my point is really just that the article is overly generous towards decimal time, and ignores solid mathematical reasons for using 12/24/60 for time-keeping. I've never in my life needed to know when a day is "70% over", but I constantly need to subdivide my time into halves, thirds, or quarters.

Basically, yes, you can make them without Chinese rare earths, and it won't break the bank. You can just dig them up and process them elsewhere.

The sound definitely helps but I think the reason most people like the mechanical switches is that you get a good feeling for when the key has actuated.

Lot of the time I have headphones and music on to drown out sounds so i'm not hearing the clicks anyways. The sound is really secondary but may make a difference the same way phone vibration on keyboard input makes a difference.
>What if we moved from "everything is a file" to "everything is a URL

Not sure what you're accomplishing exactly. Something would have to serve said url and you are moving your security problems into it. Mostly you can accomplish many of the same things with file security, with some difficulty.
I bought the Ryzen 1700, 1800X and 2700X. Looking to upgrade to one of these, but will wait for benchmarks, AMD is really on a roll. The 3950X is extremely tempting especially considering I can drop it right in my existing AM4 motherboard. Allowing backwards compatibility where possible was the best move they made. I would've bought 1 CPU from them instead of 3 (and soon 4, and then 5 with Zen3), without it.
Worth noting that this article was written last week with the assumption that the tariffs on Mexico would go into effect, which they didn't.

Not that it really changes the overall message, but it is slightly outdated in that regard.

Mechanism of hardening of the arteries and potential treatment identified

No, because git is unnecassarilly complex
From the East India company and the opium wars and the unbalanced treaties, to the Chinese civil war and the invasion of Japan, it's not easy for an outsider to understand just how strongly China considers anything that would bring about the instability that they experienced in the past. Most Chinese people support preventing instability, as in the 80s they had the largest famine in human history. Sometimes they are heavy handed and I think they acknowledge this, and would even tell you that it's not right what they did, but I think the average Westerner does not really get the perspective of the reasoning behind it. Think about how many people we have imprisoned in our so-called drug war. As a percent of our population, it's a lot more than in China.
Got a free YubiKey from Wired. Then I read that mobile is a pain, and that I really need two ... it's sat in my bag now for months, unused. I already use 2FA, and it works good enough - I'm not sold on how this will make my life better, especially on mobile.
No, it is not reinventing the filesystem -- it's more like a file-vault or a file-bank. Anyone looking to operate on the files must either borrow (to read) or take ownership of (to write). The difference is that while a filesystem unlimited access to all files, the app in question is meant to be more sandboxed -- handling only the files it is asked to -- e.g. shared documents that can be edited by multiple apps. Each user (on a multi-user system) will have their file-vault/file-bank and files must be explicitly transferred for shared access.

Finally, as I said, it is a straw-man proposal -- I haven't spent time working out all the kinks.
This is not software, this is a design concept, for anyone else who didn't find that immediately obvious.
I've never understood the "they're only consumption devices" gripe. It's such a narrow perspective, and very programmer-centric. I use mine,

1) as a tool to build real-world stuff (a level, camera to get reference pictures, measurement notes for when I go to the hardware store, measurement converter)

2) to regularly take better pictures of my kids than we get from "real" photographers with fancy, expensive cameras & lenses—and I barely even know WTF I'm doing, plus I'm like 2 generations behind on my iPhone,

3) to cook—measurement conversion, recipe book which I guess is consumption but I also use it to track results and take notes for the next time I cook something

4) I write messages to people. If that's consumption then so's letter writing which... can't be right.

5) Note-taking device for various personal projects, most of them having nothing to do with programming (thank God).

Further, if you asked me to film & edit a movie with a single device, you bet your ass I'd take a "consumption-only" iPad or (even) iPhone over a laptop or desktop. And so on for a bunch of other non-consumption stuff, for which the devices are anywhere from good-enough to much-better when compared with a laptop.

They're not great for programming, sure. Phones are awkward for long-form writing, though tablets are fine with an external keyboard. They're pretty good—even great—for tons of other creative work. Programming is not the only thing computers are for. In fact we program only to make the computer let us do other stuff with it. From a certain perspective, programming's the worst creative thing you can use a computer for.
Ask HN: If you can buy only one book, which one you'll buy?

Rare earth metals are not as rare as their name suggests, and there are plenty of mines outside of China capable of meeting demand for them. There hasn't been sufficient motivation to tap those mines yet, but that if there's money to be made (i.e. Beijing limits supply) then those mines will be up in a hurry.

The threat isn't empty but it's not really a trump card either.

This is all based off what I've read on the topic from mainstream news sources. I'm not an expert in this area.
Perhaps assembled outside of China using Chinese components.
Nobody said those were improvements, so what is your point?
Can it receive calls and read e-mails?

If so, that should be all my employer expects of me when I'm provided with a company phone. I can't imagine what they would want me to do that would require a smartphone. Anything more complicated would be better accomplished on a laptop.

Well you could get to vote on it by becoming a shareholder. Though, once you became a shareholder, I think you would change your mind on this particular point.

Moreover, Americans don’t want these jobs in the first place. Working in factories isn’t the future of labor in America, and we as a society really need to stop fetishizing this kind of “honest” blue collar work.

Address Bar Install for Progressive Web Apps on the Desktop
Just personally speaking, I find macOS already has a version of many of these features implemented (using their touchpad/gestures) in a more polished way—and I retain the mutability of the underlying system. It also has tagging, and the new 'stacks' on the desktop add another level of categorization.

I can even full screen any application and line them up as workspaces and navigate between them in a "carousel"-like fashion by swiping with four fingers.

Based on voting, it seems like at least two people aren't very fond of my new "Can you provide a timestamp" approach (so easy to type, and so effective at illustrating the number of individual claims made supposedly based on the spoken words of Molyneux), one of them displeased enough to actually report the comment!

That is really quite astonishing: here we have someone leveling the accusation of someone being a ~Nazi/white supremacist/eugenicist, an accusation up there with child molester, and asking for evidence to back up the accusation is so offensive that someone reports it. It makes me wonder what the mentality of HN is going to be a year or two from now.
Lots of people like to hate read things about them.
Most other rare earth mines closed up because they couldn't compete with China's price (which was rumored to be HEAVILY subsidized to corner the market) if you increase the price of rare earth minerals 1000%, you will quickly see many of those mines re-activate, as they are now profitable to run.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Pass_rare_earth_mine

AWS mostly did away with that years ago; AFAIK first-tier cloud providers all promise a specific CPU model. And yes, and AMD vCPU is cheaper than an Intel vCPU.
I've thought for years that 'file systems' are an abomination. We use a cobbled-together schema of parent-directory, filename, some random date/time stamps and maybe a three-letter extension. Why? Because we inheirited that from some DOS days.

Why not a collection of immutable UUID-labelled resources with an arbitrary schema of attributes? Like a relational database or some such.

Overkill? Doesn't every major app have to do this itself, in some container (document/mail folder/image definition/contact list and on and on)?

Designers of operating systems have made no effort to capture this kind of service and provide it as a fundamental OS feature. And OSs are exactly where this belongs - where you can carefully get it right and everybody writing apps can depend on it.
Yeah, because introducing new stuff always completely replaces the old stuff and doing things the way we did x years ago because we're used to it is such a great recipe for progress.
Mothballed facilities like the mountain pass mine are already reopening.
I have never used 1password.com.

Adding 2FA to it is great but I think the best security is likely still just to sync and use local apps for this data, to avoid being exposed to any JavaScript vulnerabilities or if 1password.com were ever hacked.
According to the link another commentor replied to my comment with, which includes the actual per-component cost breakdown, the most expensive part is the Samsung display. Where is that manufactured? Well, in 2017 Samsung was planning the world’s largest plant in... you guessed it... China.

Even if some details or price estimates are wrong, the fact that they are dependent upon a third party for the most expensive component with no obvious alternative is a problem.

I've seen / experienced several train-wrecks caused by flat / self-organizing teams (see my sibling comment). In those catastrophes, I would have been glad for almost anybody to take on the role of team leader / manager.

Polyglot programming and the demands of modern engineering
First of all, I'm not a web developer, so I may not get all the problems with AMP.

I actually love AMP on mobile. Every site I've used(1) that has an AMP version loads faster and works better even with some ads than the normal version on Firefox mobile with uBlock Origin. Given that it's possible for people to host their own AMP cache (like Cloudflare does), I really don't see the problem with AMP itself.

(1) Other then Reddit, but considering how much of a dumpster fire their normal mobile site is I honestly think that it's broken on purpose to try and make people use the app.
