I know it was just an aside, but I can't let this go:

>I would question how much natural selection applies to rational beings like humans these days.

It's a universal principle, why wouldn't it apply? Each generation is composed of the offspring of those members of the previous generation who reproduced, introducing a statistical bias. Why would it be different "these days", and what has rationality got to do with it?

Besides - as for the notion of 'rational' humans, especially in the context of sex and reproduction - I'll get my coat.
The wikipedia page is really bad. Just forget about it.

Anyway, I don't know why Huawei used this name but I guess it refers to the beginning of the world from a primordial form, which an OS kind of is. Or maybe it refers to Daoist/Zhuangzi literatures on how the world should be governed, which also relates to an OS.
while that is true, just like in here, some of the most important content comes in the form of comments, which are all Italian. It's also where the community comes in touch and can discuss things with a similar outlook.
BitTorrent have worked because of UPnP allowed by default in home routers.

In an IPv6 network without home routers the problem of malware spreading between peers remains. Chances are high that ISPs will be forced to restrict peer communications just like they did in NATed IPv4 networks.
So not a zero-day.
I guess you can have clients that purely talk IPv6 talk with destinations (edge locations) that only talk IPv4, without requiring the whole end-to-end connection and intermediate routers to talk IPv4? You'll just have a router at the end which translates this IPv4-in-IPv6 packet into a pure IPv4 packet and everything will work.
Favourited, this is really cool. It's what I hoped Rocksmith 2014 could do but can't.
Ask HN: Sites like HN in other languages? (2019)
This was asked seven years ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3734303) but I thought it would be good to ask HN if you know any sites like HN in other languages. Like Gambe.ro, that just popped on Show HN.
> oh yes, and about the ZX Spectrum... I can't imagine anyone willingly changing from something else to that rubber keyboard! Yuck.

The ZX Spectrum had tons of games (many of them quite creative, many weird), all kinds of software (limitied, of course, but even a Lisp) and several magazines dedicated to it. Many of my friends owned one, so it was much more fun than owning a more obscure computer, no matter how much better its keyboard was. Remember, there was no internet.

I still have nostalgic conversations with friends from that time about how magic the ZX Spectrum world was.
Prices and window were clearly set on purpose, starting from the number of minidiscs. The size of the originally-leaked material was actually different, so the final one might be coincidental or they might have “targeted” it with strategic padding to be cute.

Obviously not.

As others have pointed out, it comes from Chinese/Taoist mythology and refers to a character. It's like if we chose a name from a character in Roman or Greek mythology.

As many such Chinese names it is not that easy to translate, and like in Roman/Greek mythology the idea is linked to what the character did.

> "No one who can rise before dawn three hundred sixty days a year fails to make his family rich"

That almost sounds like sarcasm to me. I currently live in South East Asia and you know who gets up early every morning grinding 12 hour shifts with little to no vacation? The million of poor people who don't earn much more than "survive" money.

Okay, probably it's about context so if you are in a first world country you just work hard and the wealth will come pouring in? Still sounds like sarcasm tbh.

Of the top of my head the five most well-off people I personally know didn't work harder than the average and I am sure wouldn't say so about themselves, either.
Well, this isn't true. If you go to hospital, you might catch dangerous infection there. It has been common sense since forever.

What's Salesforce, and why's it worth $100B?
No, it isn't (as viburnum explains, you might have confused it with new-keynesian). Look what Steve Keen does with his Minsky program - that's decidedly not just DSGE flavor, it's a fully dynamic model.

I would say distinguishing features of post-keynesian approach are fully dynamical modelling and treating uncertainty differently from risk. Both features go back to Keynes.
F-35 development started in 1992. First flight of X-35 was 19 years ago. First flight of F-35 was 13 years ago. It's still fighting with problems and not ready.

"Surely, you have to acknowledge that throughout history, men have been quite terrible to women"

Yes of course but what I don't understand is why you're choosing to focus exclusively on one narrow aspect of the entire history of human cruelty. Men have been at least as terrible to other men as they have ever been to women. And women are not without the ability to be cruel either. Are you suggesting that it's OK for men to be terrible to other men but women should be a proctected group? That is already largely the case according to my understanding of western Judeo-Christian tradition.

"You _must_ understand that for many women out there, it's still a struggle to live their life in a way that is not negatively influenced by some men.

Again, why focus on such a narrow aspect of the problem? The vast majority of men also struggle to live their life in a way that is not negatively influenced by 'some men'.
This material is only really interesting to hardcore fans, who will jump at the chance very quickly. I bet most sales will happen in the first week, if not the first two days, so there is little to gain from keeping it up longer. By setting an end-date, they also add a bit of urgency for the less-hardcore fans who might be sitting on the fence, using FOMO anxiety.

I’ve been enjoying Karl Widerquist’s “Independence, Propertylessness, and Basic Income: A Theory of Freedom as the Power to Say No”, which notes that access to natural resources is an important input as well. That is, one form of freedom is a freedom to use a proportion of Earth’s natural resources to meet one’s own needs. While many may contract into a system to provide e.g. defense or luxuries, the lack of choice in the “social contract” as regards property rights can nonetheless be interpreted as a regrettable loss of a form of freedom.

In other words, while labor is required to sustain human life, different forms of labor should not be considered fungible — I am happy to labor to directly feed and shelter myself, but may be less accommodating to serving others in exchange for a form of these benefits.
In Australia the dominate cable provider who owns 80+% of sports rights has just launched this (Kayo Sports). Costs 2.5x ($25AUD) a basic Netflix connection ($10AUD) though.
Google initially claimed that thus was to remove the need for add blockers to have to see the web request in order to operate.

They proposed an API that was like safari where the block lists are handled by a pattern match inside the browser rather then running a js script.

They made this announcement increasing the number of patterns that can be matched however the API remains the same.

Now it could be that google is trying to undermine add blockers in order cement its power. However this argues agaist it. Since the list is limited and google is the largest provider of adds if there are insufficent patterns then blocking google ads would result in googles rivels not being blocked.

I think that's a fair point. How long would it have taken for the media industry to come up with Netflix or the equivalent had it not been for people proving the viability of streaming media over the internet through piracy (and porn).

This obviously doesn't justify piracy but it does show how how resistant to change the media industry have become.

Radiohead needs "media stunt" to promote themselves?
No way I'd like to swap with most of the big CEOs, but I would like to swap with Elon Musk, for the simple reason - the former are businesses, mostly arbitrary to me (and, arguably, to them). In case of Musk, his businesses are all just vehicles to achieve goals (pushing humanity out into space, electrification of transport to combat climate change) - goals that strongly resonate with me. I think Musk can pull off the workload he does only because he cares for those goals, not for business.

My city got scooters some months ago, they were rolled out slowly but now we got 5+ different companies on this space.

My impressions are generally the same, people simply can't act safely on scooters. I commute by bike every day to work and just this week I've seen:

- Two teens riding one scooter, going in and out of the bike lane in one of the heaviest traffic avenues, they got out of the bike lane around a bus stop and fell. Right in front of a bus that was stopping, the driver managed to stop the bus less than 30cm away from the duo.

- A tourist riding a scooter on the wrong way of the bike lane got out of the sidewalk and into the bike lane crashing head first into the cyclist in front of me. I had to stop and give assistance as the tourist guy hurt his wrist quite badly and the cyclist hit his knee on the pavement.

- A scooter ran through the red light on the bike lane by a pedestrian crossing and hit a girl on the crossing, nothing major but, again, completely unsafe.

This is JUST THIS WEEK, I've seen similar egregious behaviour of some riders for at least the past 4-5 months... It needs to be fixed somehow, I wouldn't like a ban but this can't keep going on this way.

Even more as this happened in another city here in Sweden just last month: https://sifted.eu/articles/voi-under-attack-from-swedish-age...
Yep, it's illegal, they've been fined (by a ridiculous amount by the way)
Concrete example happened just this morning: I needed some documentation that exists on archive.is, but has been taken down from the original site. I navigate to the cached content on archive is, and archive.is is DNS blocked when going through my VPN by Cisco Umbrella because apparently it's an "anonymizer" service.

So I change my DNS settings to use an 8.8.8.8 dns first, and my company dns second. Now I can access both archive.is and sites on the company network. Excellent. But in doing this I circumvented all the DNS filtering, not just for this site. The reasonable thing would have been a warning like a https-style warning "Are you sure you want to continue to this site"? Or a way of whitelisting, perhaps temporarily, a single address. Instead my options were to ask an administrator or disable the whole security feature entirely. (Or connect/disconnect the VPN temporarily every time I needed something blacklisted, but that didn't feel like a good solution).
If I was interviewing someone I'd not count a mildly buggy fizzbuzz against them, especially if it's a whiteboard interview.

This is true, and I have very strong feelings about developing an indigenous discourse on technology and against the passive acceptance of the influences and ideologies coming from California. At the same time, the production right now is limited and while we privilege content in Italian, technical articles are almost always written in English and therefore we need to compromise. Limiting submissions to content in Italian would kill the community on the spot.

The US won't sell F35 to non-friendly countries, and friendly-countries are already in bed with the US intelligence-wise, where the US typically allow the other countries to use their intelligence-gathering systems, in exchange for the US to get access to the information they gather.

Could you explain this argument in a bit more detail please. Why and how is this way better, what's the comparison, what are the main cost drivers/differences?
It sounds like you're talking about the standard library rather than the language? The examples I gave have a very small language where you really can't remove anything, whereas in C quite a lot of the language is rarely-used, redundant, or bodged: the comma operator surprises people, for and while do overlapping things, braces are mandatory for some constructs but not for others, null and void* are horrible special cases.

Standard libraries are a different matter, but I'm not too impressed by C there either; it's not truly minimal, but it doesn't cover enough to let you write cross-platform code either. Threading is not part of the pre-99 language spec, and so you're completely reliant on the platform to specify how threads work with... everything. Networking isn't specified. GUI is still completely platform-dependent. The C library only seems like a baseline because of the dominance of unix and C (e.g. most platforms will support BSD-style sockets these days).

I'm actually most impressed by the Java standard library; it's not pretty, but 20+ years on you can still write useful cross-platform applications using only the Java 1.0 standard library. But really the right approach is what Rust and Haskell are doing: keep the actual standard library very small, but also distribute a "platform" that bundles together a useful baseline set of userspace libraries (that is, libraries that are just ordinary code written in the language).
I think it is fair and necessary as an incentive to immediately start working on it. It is also right to publish them after 90 days. I just think it is not fair to blame or make fun of companies for failing on delivery within 90 days what happens here regularly (see: upvotes for the article).

When developing a low risk application with a fancy DevOps infrastructure everyone expect bug fix delivery in hours or maximum the 2 weeks sprint.

90 days is not much time when patching operating systems or mission critical software. Windows is used in literally all regulated environments, from aircrafts to medical devices. The amount of necessary paper work and the amount testing to reduce risk is beyond what anyone not in that business can imagine.

A knock-off Umidigi A3 Pro.

It's an awesome Chinese $50 android phone.

Because it hasn't passed all the network tests, most mobile networks would block an entirely random IMEI, so they suggest you type in the IMEI from your old phone (as long as it's 4g - if it isn't, they have a support email address you can contact and they'll give you an IMEI that works in your country)

Even the legit Umidigi A3 Pro's (which cost $80, and have proper certifications) have an 'imei change' tool.

Even if those anecdotes aren't true, isn't the perception of Seattle being a homeless-enabling city likely to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy if it's believed widely enough?

Shouldn't the city do something to dispel that perception, y'know, such as enforcement of vagrancy laws?
