It's an issue because of "sour grapes". The people that had been in the game longer feel the newcomers didn't deserve to win. Feeling that way led them to no longer play - and that is the issue. Fewer players = smaller pot = fewer players = smaller port = fewer player.... you get the idea.
From my experience, it's the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" response header that causes the problem. So, it's in the way Chrome uses/enforces cross-origin HTTP request/response headers.

Have you considered alternatives besides always-on total ordering and weak ordering with full barriers? Various forms of partial barriers already exist. In theory, they can preserve the performance wins from weak ordering. In practice, programmers seem to have even more trouble reasoning about them than they do with full barriers. That's why I expressed ambivalence above. I don't have the certainty that comes with mere speculation.

The bullshit content on NYT this week seems to be through the roof... It's like they slurped up all the Vox and BuzzFeed people or something.
Those require some cash that might not be so easy to free up for some people. When I was building my credit I had to put up $300 for my bank's secured card, and couldn't get that back until I fully closed that account which was reflected on my credit score of course (my bank did not transition secured cards to 'real' cards like some do).

Most middle class and up people don't have to do this song and dance. Parents can add you as an authorized user on one of their cards, and you could build up a great score and a fat credit limit just in time for you to max it out during spring break in college.
I mean, its definitely humans. No one legitimate is disputing that.

My definition of a human right is human rights are inalienable, and they do not require someone else to provide it. The purpose of government is to protect those rights. (As written in the Declaration of Independence.)

The point of jail is to protect society from people who violate other peoples' rights. Jail shouldn't be about punishment, torture, etc.

It's well known that removing stimulation from people causes them to go insane. Hence, such is tantamount from torture. While that isn't specifically about book reading, preventing a person from reading, human contact, etc., is removing stimulation. Removing all stimulation violates human rights.
”Just sitting on our hands on this information and letting people die is the worst decision.”

If the alternative is saving a few who would otherwise die, but taking away more healthy days from many others or, possibly, even killing healthy individuals because they get overtreated, not spending money on screening _now_, but instead spending money on better understanding is the rational thing to do.

And that’s exactly what we are doing. Technology advances, models get refined. Maybe, some day, statistics (and ethics committees) will decide population screening does make sense.

And it isn’t necessarily about major invasive surgery. Even small procedures, done unnecessarily often enough, may already swing the balance.

Also, in some cases knowing that you have cancer may not affect your life expectancy at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screening_(medicine)#Overdiagn...:

”Screening may identify abnormalities that would never cause a problem in a person's lifetime. An example of this is prostate cancer screening; it has been said that "more men die with prostate cancer than of it". Autopsy studies have shown that between 14 and 77% of elderly men who have died of other causes are found to have had prostate cancer.[

Aside from issues with unnecessary treatment (prostate cancer treatment is by no means without risk), overdiagnosis makes a study look good at picking up abnormalities, even though they are sometimes harmless.

Overdiagnosis occurs when all of these people with harmless abnormalities are counted as "lives saved" by the screening, rather than as "healthy people needlessly harmed by overdiagnosis". So it might lead to a endless cycle: the greater the overdiagnosis, the more people will think screening is more effective than it is, which can reinforce people to do more screening tests, leading to even more overdiagnosis.”
The MacBook Pro trackpad is a disaster - the palm rejection simply doesn't work. Baffling, since palm rejection works fine on the iPad.

I do have 2-3 open on most of my workspaces. I have 10 workspaces. It's only just about sufficient.

I've used virtual desktops since my Amiga days in the mid 80's - they are not a replacement for wasting as little of what space is actually visible at any given time.

I have always thought it was weird when people get possessive about their tax money. As in, that's my money you're spending!

It isn't yours, because however mandatory it was you paid it to them, and when you give it it ceases to be yours. At any rate even the richest among us are making comparatively miniscule contributions in the scheme of things.

There are plenty of things the government does that I like, and I would sure like to pay for those ahead of say, funding for wars I don't like or finding new and indirect ways of killing people (by this I mean military spending), but I pay my taxes with the understanding that this is all part of the deal.
Funny, my brother lives in Kensington and he had fios installed literally this morning. I asked and he said they ran it to the front of the building.
Unfortunately all you can really do is pick up a different phone. Luckily finding an old unlocked Nexus 5 or OnePlus One on ebay is pretty easy and relatively cheap.
The article says, "the project looked at more than 330,000 species...." and "...seed-bearing plants have been disappearing at a rate of nearly 3 species a year since 1900 ― which is up to 500 times higher".

So since 1900, that's 357 species disappearing, out of 330,000 (~0.1%)

How did they arrive at the conclusion that this is an "alarming rate"? Also, "up to 500 times higher" means, the expected rate is less than 1 plant going extinct out of 330,000 species, which sounds way too good to be true.
>The tech ceiling was _always_ too high, and it was our own hubris that we weren't willing to build a more welcoming environment.

I hate this meme and other criticism like it. It belittles work accomplished (asserting that there was nothing done). Ascribes intent from that perceived outcome (that nobody even tried). And ascribes motivation for that intent (hubris).

I haven't found a better way to demoralize people from trying in the future than this sort of quip.
Right on - if your brain is placed in another body, that body becomes your body. Your brain remains 'yours' almost by definition.

> what if it was only a bit of my brain? If my motor cortex could be transplanted into a stroke victim or a Parkinson's patient, or whatever; writing that down doesn't sound objectionably or identity-breaking.

I think it does break identity, but that doesn't mean it should be discarded. Your thought-experiment strongly suggests that 'identity of mind' (at least as far as it tracks the brain) is not atomic or indivisible.
Except the "advocate journalist" is more about setting a narrative and using deception as necessary than getting facts straight.
I think you will have a hard time getting anyone to scan you. Currently the tests are expensive and doctors have to argue with insurance companies enough as it is, for patients that exhibit symptoms.

The default answer is that the extra scanning will increase risk to you, which really isn't true if you compare that radiation to other forms of radiation you get throughout the day. 10 millisieverts is nothing. [1] You can compensate for this easily by increasing your bodies own cell autophagy.

In the mean time, you should research anti-cancer foods and foods that cause cancer and increase cell autophagy. Preventative natural medicine has many benefits beyond just preventing and treating cancer cells. Obvious foods to stay away from are anything with sugar (and all its forms, there are many) and glyphosates (good luck with that, everything is sprayed with them). Cance cells live off glycogen and oxygen.

Anti-cancer foods include aged garlic extract, bioavailable enhanced curcumin, all the cruciferous vegetables, sulforaphane extract from broccoli sprouts, fatty fish, apples, beans, to name a few. For those with metabolic syndrome which increases risk of cancer, there is Berberine which is anti-tumor (natural alternative to the prescription metformin)

I am not a doctor. This is unpopular nutritional advice for naturally reducing all cause mortality.

Well given that Tesla's Autopilot and Lane Departure Avoidance are supposed to be the best in the industry and even they can't stop killing people maybe we should just stick to noise.

PostmarketOS reminds me a lot about the approach Openmoko (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openmoko) took way back over a decade ago, except that they did have to build the hardware as well.
Thanks for the pointer.

Unfortunately, the surface book base model is now on sale for 1499€ here (with a pen for "free"). With only 8Gb RAM, 256Gb HDD and 0 upgradability it'll be a pass from me. It is good to know that PC's are starting to get good trackpads though!
Leonardo Da Vinci as a Tribologist
> I would argue that they are

I don't see the argument. You characterize trackable information as currency, which is a different argument. Information is traded, but is not currency. The market puts a value on data, which degrades IMMEDIATELY, until it's worthless to anyone (eg MySpace data cannot be monetized anymore).
I can see what the focus is, but I couldn't find a page that clearly spelled out differences with AOSP. I realize that's a missing target, but as a potential user it's interesting to know how it's going to be different than stock Android (beyond what the "focus" is).
I would agree with the complaint, but I'm surprised, and somewhat can't believe you don't have something similar "over there". (I don't know where over there is, of course.)

The problem is that the credit system was not designed for society, it came out of a business need. In reality, you don't need a good (or any) credit score if you don't need a loan... but if you do need a loan, the person giving a loan wants to know if you're likely to pay them back.

The credit agencies decided they were scummy enough to collect as much personal info as they could, and sell it to those companies so they could asses that risk... When you get a full credit report, its actually data about you and your accounts, the score is just the distilled version of that data to make it "easier".

Finally, credit score is not always the last straw, depending on what kind of business you're working with. Many smaller companies might be willing to work with you regardless of your credit score, however, they might adjust the terms of the deal...

Linux Foundation Statement on Huawei Entity List Ruling
Nope, looks like they are fine.
See, that would make a least some sense. But apparently "The U.S. Attorney General has sole discretion to impose SAMs". With court imposed gag orders there's a court order from a judge. These things seem to be administrative decisions about detention conditions (the same way prisons can regulate the books prisoners can have, etc). But if so, they wouldn't ordinarily regulate the speech of people not actually in jail. I think the worst they'd be able to do is ban that person from visiting again, not actually prosecute them. How can you be in contempt of court if SAMs are at the sole discretion of the AG?
The"real business" of WeWork et al seems to be selling an entrepreneurial vibe to big companies. Lots of folks in my distributed company work at WeWorks around the country, and most of their neighbors work for big companies.

WeWork will even custom build for big customers — in fact, their Enterprise landing page is a good an index to their view of the future as anything: https://www.wework.com/enterprise

To clarify, some of the phones you can buy directly from T-Mobile can also be bought "unlocked" in the open market.

In general, if you want any hope of unlocking your phone (either for use on other carriers or unlocking the bootloader) then you should NOT buy from the carriers' online or brick & mortar stores.
I personally enjoy being a night owl. I get plenty of excercise, sunlight, and sleep, and I've never had a problem at any of my workplaces for arriving late (say between 10 and 11) and then working late to compensate.

Furthermore, the article is common sense. Obviously, shifting my daily routine 3 hours would shift my daily routine 3 hours, and I'd eventually get used to it, but why would I want to?

I once also thought that providing detailed descriptions of every possible issue after extensive context was clear communication. I have since learned that this is not at all true.

A very long post cannot be specific, and precision is lost in too much detail.
Agree. Feels more like a consulting term made up to sell consulting services (which in this case would be the analysis of strategies to assemble them).

TBH, I originally thought SEO would be enough to get some eyeballs, but as you point out, that's totally not the case! I tried contacting a few local food blogs, but none of them ever got back to me. Other than that, I've just told literally everyone I know and tried using Twitter, by tweeting restaurants as I add them, in the hope they would retweet to their followers. I've thought of putting it on Reddit/r/Dublin, as a sponsored ad. I never looked into backlink building, good suggestion. In short though, I guess I do need to try harder :-) Thanks.

I was curious to see if anyone thought the upswing could be promising!

Yeah because too many people abuse any hint of such functionality to peddle fake Viagra, pennystock scams, MLMs, ICOs or the good old SEO link spam.
I've toyed with trying to use Prolog for procedural map generation in my hobby RPG game. The idea is to feed it a high level human designed map and let it fill in the details. Not sure if you have any thoughts on if it might be suitable for something like that or not.
Well, that also seems like something state governments would do.
And to add education to the data:

In 1970 41% of Chinese are illiterate, comparing to 63% Indians. In 2015 India is at 30%, PRC at 6%.

"legitimate" doesn't have much meaning in today's policy circles. Conservatives control the government, if we want any progress on this front it's probably a good idea to avoid agitating them with attacks on their legitimacy.

edit: I don't mind the downvotes, but I'm curious what is so objectionable about what I've written.
Right now, this hits so close to home it's scary.

Personally, I'm always astounded that one would even need to explain the whole scientific debugging mindset explicitly. Then again, I'm regularly proven wrong when I eventually meet the next guy who would rather burn incense and read tea leaves for a week instead of using some sort of directed experimental approach. -_-
I've truly enjoyed all the Prolog videos on your channel[0].

I had to program a timetabling system where each event had a specific set of requirements, and your article and video about solving sudokus and the n-queens helped me grasp the problem.

I have only been using Prolog for a month, but I could not go back to Lisp now (at least not without MiniKanren). There's still plenty of stuff I don't understand about Prolog, but it feels very expressive and powerful even with just a superficial understanding of the language.

Thank you so much for your work! Your teaching materials are very accessible for beginners. Hope you will one day make a video about DCGs (Definite Clause Grammars). I wonder if reading Noam Chomsky will help my understanding of them?

Since we are on Hacker News, I think it's interesting to look at PG's experience with Prolog, which unfortunately hasn't been as rewarding as mine:

> There are features, most notably Prolog-style pattern-matching, that seem to promise great savings in length, but turn out only to be useful for writing a few basic sequence operations like append, remove, and so on. Prolog is a great language for writing append; after that it's all downhill.[1]

> A way of expressing programs that was more abstract, but made your programs longer, would not be very enticing. (This is not just a hypothetical example. It happens in Prolog.)[2]

From watching your videos, it's easy to see how concise Prolog programs are though. I find that my own Prolog programs also tend to be extremely brief (compared to Lisp or SQL).

That actually sounds like a good idea. Though there is the old saying "the lottery is just a tax on the poor".

My aunt actually won 2 million back in 2007. She had just divorced my uncle (so I guess she is my ex-aunt) and bought a ticket and used the birthdays of me and a few others as the numbers. She was smart in that she chose to set up a trust fund with yearly pay outs instead of a lump sum. She told her sister that she was going to give her a million, but then after realizing that the tax was going to be around a million, she then changed her mind.

She then bought a not too fancy house on the beach for probably too much money (this was in 2007 after all). Then bought a non running yacht for $40k and a new car. Her first pay out check for the year was spent in a matter of weeks and she still had monthly payments on the new toys so she couldn't quit work either. Then she realized that the house payments were for 30 years, yet her pay out plan was only for 25 years and it would not be easy to make payments those last 5 years without more refinancing (she is still trying to figure that one out).

She got scammed many times on house repairs. When she first moved in, for what ever reason she said she needed to get the windows replaced. She paid a local contractor $9k to replace the windows. He showed up with a trailer full of windows and unloaded them all (and I guess that is when she paid him). He said he'd be back later in the week to do the install. Months went by with no contact so she found another local laborer to install them. But he quickly realized that all the windows were the wrong size and basically just junk left over from other jobs.

The $40k yacht never ran. Spent several years paying people to work on it, no telling how much. Then she finally sold it for $20k.

Then a couple of years ago, a hurricane hit the coast. Her house stood, but windows were blown out and the house got completely soaked inside. It was gutted and rebuilt for $80k. Right before this happened, she had actually fallen in a parking lot of a pet supply store after tripping over a piece of rebar that was left over from a curb demolition. She caught herself with both hands but it tore both shoulder cuffs. I don't think lawyers even got involved. The store cut her a check for $80k. It was that $80k that she used to repair the house with. The insurance still hasn't paid her back yet. Something about they wanted every contractor preapproved or something and they reject every receipt or invoice that she sends in (still an ongoing issue).

Been a wild ride...
Oneplus phones too.
What does it matter if you are still running proprietary software with direct memory and CPU access on your network, camera, ...

Android can give you privacy and enough security for most people. This can't add much more as long as its running on the same devices.

This is a great effort and I support it, but let's not imagine this will make our phones that much more secure.
