"2^32" is of course just an xor, but it makes no sense (the "exclusive" part of it is not being exercised). If you really mean 2 bits being set in a constant then "2 | 32" is much clearer. If you're dead set on xor, "32^2" won't trigger the warning.

Talking about "speed" is confusing. The problem is not a bandwidth bottleneck, but a latency bottleneck.

Having cache doesn't always solve this problem. If an application requires random memory access over a range much larger than the cache, then it will fall down on the latency of main RAM.
Phone providers, email providers, and banks should provide an option to require in-person verification for account recovery or in the case of phone providers transfer of a number to a different SIM. These events should be infrequent enough that it would be OK if there was a fee for verification.

This might seem impractical for people who live somewhere that the provider doesn't have an office, but it actually isn't. There is a nationwide, readily available mechanism already in place for this. They are called notary publics.

It could work like this:

1. You request account recovery, and pay the fee, and provide your physical contact information.

2. The provider hires a notary public in your area, and sends them a form for you to sign authorizing the account recovery.

3. The notary meets with you, verifies your identity, notarizes your signature on the form, and then lets your provider know that this has successfully completed.

4. Now that the provider knows the request was legitimate, the recovery or transfer can go through.

I'm just going to take a moment to remark how impressive it is that automakers have achieved this, that the roads are owned by cars and collisions are framed to be the fault of whoever was not in the car that shouldn't be on the road. Cars were invented first, and then Jaywalking (as a crime) was invented second.

In theory, you should evaluate these programs (and other programs like helmet laws) against the risk posed by cars, but unfortunately, when people take bicycles or scooters instead of cars, it frees up space on the road for more cars.

I don't have a particular angle here, I wish we could redesign our cities to accommodate better modes of transportation but that's expensive and there's little political will for it.
I'd much rather buy a virtual currency (pegged or not) than values in Facebook's database. A cryptocurrency gives you a certain baseline level of reliability over value and function that values in a centrally controlled database do not. It remains to be seen how much control Facebook will ultimately have over their cryptocurrency, so this point may be moot.
The surrounding context around an idea is always changing. Facebook itself was tried many times with various degrees of success (MySpace; Friendster; LiveJournal; Classmates.com; Xanga; EZBoards; AOL; Usenet; fingerd; BBSes; etc.), but it took a new and relatively trusting generation getting online and being packed onto dense college campuses to make it take off.

I personally think that Facebook's cryptocurrency will fail because today's climate is anything but trusting, but just because an idea failed in 1983 doesn't mean it'd fail today. There's also a strong possibility of it succeeding in the developing world and failing in the developed world.
It most definitely is a possibility, and your type of thinking is exactly what we need more of.

I assure you I have and continue to explore the possibility, which is why I often reach out to people who seem to believe they have witnessed specific, concrete evidence, to share the specific information they have seen. Alas, despite no shortage of such people, I have yet to encounter one who is willing and able to provide anything beyond a link to an x00 page report full of allegations.

> The embedded assumption in this post is that you have risen above the misinformation, bad mental models and propaganda to assess the "real" truth. How have you managed to overcome the weaknesses that others fall victim to?

Apologies if I have given that impression, it was definitely not my intent. I am simply pointing out that there are plenty of people who make strong and specific assertions, but are unable to provide any strong, specific evidence. I have not formed any final conclusions, but the longer this drags on, and the more specific claims I read in the news that are not backed by supporting evidence, it seems fairly reasonable to suspect that the story is not true, if not actually faked (as we now know the Iraq WMD story was faked). I have no particular theory on what the underlying motive might be if this is the case.

If you know of anything I've overlooked, please post here so we can all become more informed.
> Last month, the inevitable happened: Brady Gaulke, a 26-year-old Nashville man, was killed in a collision with an S.U.V. while riding a scooter. His grieving parents have launched a petition to ban the devices in Nashville. “[E]-scooters are unsafe at any speed, and we are calling on Mayor David Briley and the Metro Council to ban them from the streets immediately,” the petition reads, arguing that Mr. Gaulke should be “the last victim of an epidemic that the e-scooter companies and local government both refuse to acknowledge.”

Imagine being gaslighted by the auto industry so hard that you think scooters are the problem here, not the car that actually hit and killed someone.

All of the problems that are discussed in this article are artifacts of a culture and cities designed around cars, period.
Gas mileage is better, backup cams are standard (and required), the average age of a vehicle on the road is 11 years (up from 8 years in the 90s), so they are more reliable and last longer, better airbags (side curtains are standard nowadays), better anti-corrosion technology, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, auto parallel parking, partial autopilot, bluetooth standard, etc.
I think there’s big variation state-by-state in terms of NP independence.
Yes but can't you have a closed system that compacts the exhaust into solid matter?
Haha, right. I searched for "axis" to see if anyone was making this point before I re-made it.
> If something is a legitimate callout of hypocrisy

I'd like to nail down when accusing someone of hypocrisy is legitimate. (I don't think I'm disagreeing with your larger point, more clarifying.)

If the person is insisting that their arguments come from an innate moral authority, sure, pointing out that they can't live up to their own standards casts doubt on that moral authority or the feasibility of those standards. And sometimes people don't realize they're arguing from innate moral authority, so challenging them on that point can identify some unspoken assumptions. (All that said, it's clearer to plainly state, "I think you're implicitly claiming moral authority, and I dispute this," than to ask "what about X.")

Cook doesn't seem to be doing that, though. For example, "Cook told the new Stanford graduates that digital surveillance threatened innovation and would have 'stopped Silicon Valley before it got started.'” This is an argument that the process is innately self-defeating, which doesn't rest on his personal moral authority.

In this case, since he's not fundamentally basing his argument on moral authority, saying "what about" is simply an ad hominem tu quoque.
It's an easy fix - just add bike lanes and bike/scooter racks.

The benefits of scooters are many: a single lane can accommodate many more scooters than cars. less emissions. faster than public for 1-3 miles. It's worth accommodating scooters.
The touchscreen isn't the problem, having a screen at all is the problem.

I have a Mazda and hate their scroll wheel interface, with a touchscreen I can just press the "AM Radio" icon, with a scroll wheel, I need to turn the wheel then keep looking at the screen to see where the cursor is so I can click the right icon so it takes more attention -- both cognitive processing (how many clicks do I need to turn to get down to the button I want), as well as visual (is it on the right one yet?)

Voice recognition is even worse, I often end up having a conversation with the car "Call George" "There is more than one George, which one do you want to call" "George Modaline" "Ok, Calling George Smith - mobile".
This doesn't seem like a very well-written article to me. The main claim is that scooters are dangerous, but since some trips on scooters are replacing trips in other forms of transportation like riding a car or bicycle, you should really be comparing to the dangers of using a car or bicycle. This just has a few anecdotes of people dying on a scooter.
He is a public personality and in that role has been related to Bitcoin. And he also has his phone number and email publicly visible on the internet.

https://gizmodo.com/a-tv-anchor-tries-to-gift-bitcoin-on-air...

It seems like this only happens to people who have poor opsec about their email addresses, phone numbers, and are publicly related to the cryptocurrency movement. I mean, I'm sure it happens to other people, but that's the only case I've ever heard about.

I would personally be wary about publicly listing the email I use with my bank, or my phone number, and I've done what I can to scrub the internet of these values. If you have to be publicly reachable through a medium other than Facebook or Twitter, have a separate email and phone number through which you conduct your serious personal business. But most people do not need this kind of public reachability, or else have it through work. For those types of people, it would behoove them to keep their profile small.
Yeah, and that sucks, but we live with it because that's the only way for it to fit in our pocket.

Why would we port one of the compromises of the smartphone interface over to our car interface?

And yes, I know, dynamic is a trump card. It still sucks. Have you ever read Bret Victor's rant on it? http://worrydream.com/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDesi...
Here in Chicago, we just started a pilot program of the scooters throughout certain parts of the city this past Saturday [1]. I think that's the right approach to all this. Do a test run with a handful of companies (there is 10 companies here in this trial), and get the data to see how they should move forward. They have pretty strict guidelines on the pilot program, as well. I'm very curious to see how it all goes, and what happens next with them.

I agree. I wouldn’t get any smart TV besides one with Roku built in. As much as I despise the ads, Roku has a long history of supporting their devices as long as feasible.
Very true. But given the choice between "tracking and secure enough that I don't have to care about it", and "tracking and leaky as a sieve", I'll choose the former.

At least a Chromecast is cheap and replaceable with a de-googled AndroidTV box without having to toss the whole TV.
The ban applies only to Twitter.
There is a really well put together video[1] by a YouTuber, who goes by the name of Lemmino, covering this topic (among others).

I highly suggest it if this story interests you! And if you like his style, his Cicada 3301 video is also a fascinating watch.

Excel is the ultimate REPL, and is ubiquitous on business workstations. Your "code" can literally run anywhere Excel exists (hence why you see complex worksheets and excel files built and copied around orgs).

The Challenge Machine Learning Brings to Storage
My primary issues with dockless scooters are these:

1. Solid tires are awful. Harsh ride, unsafe/twitchy as hell on even slightly rough roads, and they don't inspire confidence for handling.

2. Motors that need to be kick-started in order to have enough torque to work are incredibly frustrating to use and don't have enough acceleration to get out of trouble.

If you’re ok with having 64KB total memory in your computer then sure.

It worked in the days of the Apple ][+ and the Commodore 64.
On a personal project I've been using Sqitch: https://sqitch.org/

So far I like it quite a bit, no complaints. I found a couple other, similar projects when I was looking as well.
Multiple physical keys in multiple formats stored in multiple places. I've got a few security keys: one on a keyring, one in a locked file cabinet, one locked in a safe. Backup codes are printed on good quality acid-free paper with good toner and then are put in acid-free envelopes or laminated, stored in a safe at home and a trusted family member's house.

I'm far more concerned with an attacker from the internet or destruction from a fire or natural disaster than someone using my computer at my home who happens to have my username/password combination as well.
A corporation is not "pure thought-stuff"; it is a legal designation for a physical business process facilitated by people and machines in the real world. The legal entity "corporation" is purely political, but the thing we really care about (a business process) is ultimately pegged to physical reality. The legal corporate entity is the map, the business-process-in-action is the territory.
The giant but not very useful 11in touchscreen in my 2017 Toyota Prius Prime can just be turned off. No really vital functions live in there, it's mostly the (iffy) GPS and settings like the audio source, which I don't need to change much. Almost all the normal things, like temp, lights, cruise etc. are still accessible via physical controls.
Industrial TVs are like this minus the speakers.
Looks like a bmw!
Facebook's original success was because the platform was somewhat pure (no arbitrary CSS decorating profiles) and exclusive. They reached the critical mass they needed at that phase then opened it to the public
My thinking was that if you have CarPlay you will still have to look at the screen regardless of whether or not you have tactile controls.

I missed reading this part of the article:

"The head-up display that top trims of the Mazda 3 get is now projected onto the windshield. The amount of time it takes the eyes to focus on the head-up display is greatly reduced because it’s now focused on a point 7.5 feet ahead of the driver."
I'm not saying extraction is technically impossible, just that you can't simply bypass the SEP and read its flash the way hardware reversers do with other embedded systems.
The ipad shows up just like another monitor to the Mac. You can move your mouse into it and drag windows to and from it. The ipad seems to just be a dumb display (and touch input) when connected. I believe it requires a USB-C connection.
I'm pretty sure my Samsung smart TV has accessed the internet through the hdmi cable connected to a roku device. I never use the built in smart functionality but it definitely tries to insert itself whenever possible. It's very frustrating.
My sister was a doctor at a hospital affiliated with a local public state university (similar to the ones in the dataset) and was listed as a professor on publicly available salary databases because she would train interns and residents for them. She definitely wasn't a professor in the traditional research sense but she was teaching in a way.
Apple would claim this is legal avoidance, not illegal evasion.

Tax law is the acts and statutes that bring it into existence, but it's also the case law that shapes it.

EU tax authorities tend to take a light touch approach - they'll tell you that they think you're non-compliant and how they want you to fix it. You can then tell them why they're wrong. They tend not to go to court against huge companies for anything other than blatant violations.

So, maybe the law is right, and Apple (etc etc) isn't following it correctly, but the enforcement of that law is wrong.
I was reading about ADS-B, FlightAware and Aireon [1] earlier.

Apparently they've completed a network of satellites in January 2019 and can now monitor (ADS-B equipped) aircraft anywhere over earth?

Does anyone know more about how this works, does that mean we will never have a MH370-like situation again because nowadays aircraft can be tracked much better?

> Perhaps now we can start to allow patients to treat themselves?

You already can. You're welcome to self-administer tylenol, bandage a wound, etc.

When you start getting into more complicated conditions, we like to have a professional in the mix, as laypeople have a tendency to do things like want antibiotics for a cold, essential oils for cancer, and think vaccines cause autism.
Oh I see, you're talking about the entertainment system of the DX having its controls in the center isle, next to the handbrake.

I was looking at the car system controls below the air vents, hence my wondering what the difference was.

FWIW BMW's idrive and Audi's MMI physical control are in roughly the same spot (idrive's been both below and besides the gear selector, MMI's usually been above or below though both have basically surrounded the stick: https://www.picclickimg.com/00/s/MTE1MFgxNjAw/z/xvEAAOSwll1W...).

And though recent generation MMIs are apparently touchscreen-only, BMW has retained physical controls next to the shifter: https://cdn.bmwblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/BMW-6-Ser...
That does not at all seem like an appropriate solution to the problem
Seems by your posts you're assuming everyone already has a cable box + service since you think the TV saves you a mere HDMI cable.

Meanwhile I'm not sure I've even had roommates or been to someone's house my age (25-40) in the last 5 years that had cable service. It's always the same: everyone just navigates to the TV's built-in Netflix/HBO/Amazon/etc. app and puts something on.

If you think everyone in the world has a cable box, then I understand why you don't understand smart TVs. But your premise is mistaken.
Blood glucose would rise because youre unable to provide enough oxygen to break it down/convert it into energy (ie more unused glucose accumulates in the blood).

Lactate/Lactic acid is a byproduct of broken down glucose, but also temporarily picks up the slack in energy when the body can’t supply enough oxygen to breakdown glucose for energy requirements. Lactic acid is used in the mitochondria of cells and keeps the heart pumping during these intense phases of exercise where the oxygen/glucose can’t do the job...again as lactic acid is temporarily being used as fuel it would follow glucose builds up as the body can’t break it down fast enough and is now using an alternate fuel source.

Creatine as I understand it isn’t a fuel/energy directly, but does facilitate recycling of energy. Moreover, as ATP (energy) is produced in the mitochondria and used by the cell it is converted into ADP, but the body/muscles will use creatine to recycle ADP back into ATP. On its own though I don’t think creatine is fuel/converted into ATP at any point like glucose/ketones.
Already addressed earlier but inline styles ignore media queries so you may have missed the entire Web 3.0/4.0/responsive web design etc which occurred in 2012.

So... values in a decentralized database are worth more or something? You don't actually hold anything with cryptocurrency, it's all still line-items in a DB. E.g. the bitcoin you hold is only as good as the decentralized ledger says it is
Ask HN: Community Management
Lately, I've been in love with community management. From open source communities to big companies and even local communities. How does the HN community see that? Some questions I have are:

* What is community management?
* When should a startup start to worry about their community?
* Is community management possible remotely?
* Is there a need for one person to manage the community?

Keep in mind that this "free" money comes from somewhere.

It comes from the people who can't get a fixed rate home loan or HELOC that get screwed when the economy tanks and their interest rises above 7% and they lose their home.

It comes from the people paying 30% interest on credit cards or 400+% on payday loans.

It comes from workers in China and India that get paid pennies on the dollar and can't get a loan over $1000 so have to work themselves to death for the West's ambition.

To see the world's capital potential squandered on new locator/ride share/service apps with valuations larger than the industries they're replacing is..

OBSCENE

The only thing propping this mobile/social bubble up is that unemployment is so low that people are too busy to realize how badly they're getting screwed by Wall Street.

What misguided nonsense. The solution to cars crashing into scooters and bikes (no, cyclists aren't magically protected like she seems to think) isn't to ban them - it's to build proper bike lanes!

And why do people think scooters are street litter when cars aren't? Cars are left everywhere.

This is just classic luddism. "Roads were only for cars when I was young and that shall not change!"
that sounds a lot like why the drinking age is 21 in the states.

one state moved the age, so all their young partiers moved their binging and drunk driving to neighboring states, who then had to move their drinking ages, until there was national agreement.
