I tried their tabletop Sharks! game at a McDonalds a few years ago. It was fun and worked reasonably well although the latency was bad enough that it made the game hard to play a times.

Hopefully/likely the newer versions are more responsive but it's hard to tell from the marketing videos.

I'm also a fan of AR Sandbox which feels a bit more interactive because it involves tactile manipulation rather than just point/click/tap/jumping to trigger events.

It would be neat if a bunch of foam blocks could be tracked to allow for cooperative sorting and building games. E.g. an egg race game(or other balanced object projected on foam block).

I see like a food safety inspector going around shutting down unsafe restaurants. These IoT devices are a danger to society and should be shut down.
Correct. clang is always going to default to targeting whatever the platform ecosystem is. I don't see linux distros moving away from glibc any time soon.

The notion that a LLVM libc would in some way make other libc's "second class" is completely unfounded. libc++ vs. libstdc++ is proof of this.
Very insightful read! AI has become indeed become a buzzword that has been thrown around a lot, and in which markerters has used to their own advantage.

So I'm curious - if Boeing keeps on churning out those planes, what if in the end they are never allowed to fly? Wouldn't Boeing be absolutely screwed?
Really enjoyed reading this article series! I was not aware of how AI can be misunderstood and misused and the consequences it can have for investors, data scientists and others in the industry.
Opening an IB account as a US citizen living in Germany resulted in the IB account being domiciled in the UK - NOT what I was going after, because they then could not allow me to buy non-EU ETFs. I've heard that it used to be different, and that's why I opened an account with them, but they've changed policies within the past year.

Pro-tip for other American taxpayers living abroad: do NOT buy non-US-domiciled ETFs or other funds; PFIC will eat up most of any gains.

Schwab is reasonably-equipped for serving the US citizen expat market.
Markets are the opposite of top-down linear design. Markets are full of feed-back loops and chaotic behavior.

Markets are the way for people to cease top-down planning and still get things done.

If we understood markets like we understand a chair there would be no economic crises.

As for suburbs - give them 500 years and then we can talk. You need time to accumulate all the changing pressures into something that looks organic - visit any old city in Europe :) All trees of particular species look the same when they start - after 100 years they usually look different because of the interplay between environment and them. Same with snowflakes and other traditional examples of fractals - including mountains and coast.

Suburbs are just starting, in a few centuries they will be as organic as old cities are.

Oh and regarding "linearity" of human inventions - it's much easier to make a mess than to make a good orthogonal design. If you don't limit yourself and write a code adding features as you need them you will end up with something that is very much organic, and that's not a positive - we call it "spaghetti-code" because when you try to change anything - it changes stuff in 100 different places.

Orthogonality in design isn't a byproduct of human limitations, it's a thing we constantly fight for, and we do that because it has advantages. You can easily optimize it and modify it for various purposes.
The only thing I'm thinking of when seeing the Mac Pro's holes is that they must be a complete PITA to keep clean of dust.
These are the highlights IMO:

monoculture preserves the motivation for consensus-based standards
processes rather than single-party control

> there shouldn't be a "LLVM libc", or any
one library implementation that's "first class" for use with LLVM
while others are only "second class".

"Question of Balance: Are Google News search results politically biased", published 14 years ago :

The data show that articles returned in Google News searches are more likely to have a bias
toward a particular candidate than those returned in searches on Yahoo News,
but there is no evidence of an overall conservative bias in search results on Google News, as has been suggested.
Both Google News and Yahoo News searches returned articles that were,
on the whole, equally favorable to both George W. Bush and John Kerry.
This is what one would expect to see of balanced search results at a time
when public opinion is evenly divided between the two candidates.

What would be really nice is if a worm like this patched the crappy security of those IoT devices, but I guess that's too hard. With the question being either bricking them or allowing them to become part of a botnet, I guess the world might indeed be better off with vulnerable IoT devices getting bricked. But boy, it's really a marginally lesser evil.

Let's hope this forces manufacturers to improve their security. That's the main good that needs to come out of this.
I don't see how you're planning on writing a libc that chooses to interpret the C standard as full of "mistakes" without writing an entirely different language.
How is this not a problem in practice? So much write I/O into a temp directory is slow and error-prone, and also you can't guarantee cleanup in case the process quits abnormally. And it's not like the average user will be fond of downloading and unzipping things manually. I know I absolutely loathe programs that self-extract files on a regular basis, and judging from the pains people went through to avoid it here I don't think I'm alone.
Maybe I'm missing the point. But Instagram, Facebook, Twitter - all of them are not mainly experienced through search but through a feed of endless content, curated by an algorithm. Most regular users don't even search that often, they consume. Maybe there could be an decentralized Internet where you follow specific handles and then they bring their content into your main "Internet" aka feed (= user friendlier RSS).

What problems with dynamic linking? Considering docker and most container Linux systems use musl im sure they wouldnt mind knowing. Also musl has no problem having utf8 strings, in fact its one of the highlighted features.
Might be somewhat ironic comparison. Apparently the problem of garbage companies doing garbage devices exists in medical space as well; see e.g. [0].

Also, it's not about making wi-fi light bulbs cost thousands of dollars, but if yours were on the cheap end, they are most likely garbage products with highly intentional planned obsolescence, and subsidized by data collection app you have to install, which is the whole point of making them in the first place. If such business model were to become unprofitable, I believe it would be a great win for the society (and the environment).

I'm from a less developed country and I moved to a developed country. That's pretty much what happens.

The people from the less developed country are more sociable, in the true sense of the word, because they know that in the future they will need other people. In a developed country, with enough income, a decent market economy and rule of law, strangers can do most of what you want, if you pay them or just obey the law.

In poor countries the social net is: family, extended family, neighbors, various acquaintances.

In rich countries the social net is: your own income (impersonal), the state (impersonal), the healthcare system (also impersonal). Obviously, the things I listed for poor countries also apply, but to a much lesser degree.

Personal experience, YMMV, but it's a common thing I hear from people with the same background as mine.
If they only kept the data that was necessary for legal compliance with tax regulations, they wouldn't have been fined. That's explicitly allowed. That they were fined suggests they just kept everything, far beyond what they had to keep.

Is PyOxidizer going to make it any harder to 'decompile' one of these Python executables? Of course, once you have the bytecode it's easy to recover the source code, but I wonder if something could be built into this tool to make it ever-so-slightly more difficult.

Nuitka has the potential to solve this issue, but it seems not ready yet.

Price control is not a theory. There are several books, papers (Hayek, Mises, Friedman), topics that address this topic. If it is so good, why isn't implemented? It's the same argument than communism: if it is so good, why we don't implement it? Because it doesn't work. It never worked.

Price control generates scarcity. Because bureaus can't have all the information about the market, it's impossible. The moment a bureau determinate a price you're generating an impact on the different areas without having the possibility to address it. The gov. is not the market, the gov can't be an omnipotent entity that knows everything, that's why they screw everything.
You don't see any pitfalls of separating people from the business they run and have control over the decisions made there?

I'm curious too if you read the article and if you see any discrepancy or dishonesty of KitSplit in the presented evidence - which is what this commenter is referring/replying to in their 4th paragraph?

Shame isn't inherently a bad thing: if someone does something bad and obvious like deceptive and dishonest practices, and there is proof of it - like the deception pointed out by the author - then that being pointed out has a purpose and value. Bullying for example should be shamed, no? Shaming someone for how they dress, something out of their control, their sexuality, and so on, however of course isn't okay and is harmful. I wonder do you and HN mods group all shame together or are you aware of and understand this nuanced difference?

I feel for you that moderating a community is difficult, however blanket decisions like calling out all shame as illegitimate can be more harmful for more than one reason - even if it makes moderation easier because there's less consideration or feeling it out given, even if erring on the side of caution feels prudent and relieving because you're taking action vs. not taking action - quelling feelings of potential uncertainty by expressing something.

In conclusion, being in a position of authority, as a mod on HN, and threatening to ban someone for expressing themselves, their anger, and legitimate highlighting of deception - which in multiple places in this thread you state and are lumping together as defending as a cause against a "culture of shame" - is highly damaging - though you're not likely to experience or see the damage it causes especially as most people aren't likely to respond under the pressure or fear because of your mod position, and they are now going to feel repressed.
In 2005 Pepsi had a campaign where you would get a Sony laptop priced at 2000 EUR by buying some 850 EUR net worth of soda.

When people started sending in their bottle labels en masse, it turned out that the company never expected anyone to actually aim for the prize. Pepsi representation tried to weasel out by changing the rules thrice. In the end, they had to bow down to the consumer protection officials and sent out a newer generation Vaio as they could not source enough of the model they advertised.

I think this depends on what you're searching for. For anything with a consumer appeal this is probably true.

When searching for software-related information, however, the search result quality has largely stayed the same or got even better (from my personal point of view, at least).

Yes, there are ad-riddled sites with notification requests, popups, newsletter subscriptions and whatnot but for the most part the results still consist of Stack Overflow answers, trustworthy sites (such as Mkyong.com or Baeldung for Java-related information) and official documentation.

I am not an expert, you are strongly advised to take legal advice in your own jurisdiction. You need to have a lawyer review all the text on your website not just the terms and conditions as it all forms part of the ‘invitation to treat’ and you can be held to it in court.[0] In the UK the caselaw suggests that more prominent text takes precedence over hidden terms and conditions. So if you say one thing prominently in your advert and other in your terms you could be held to the terms implied by the ad not your T&C. The UK caselaw precedent is old enough that it likely applies in other English speaking common law jurisdictions like Australia, New Zealand etc. It would not surprise me if there is a similar precedent in the US.

I think Apple's current approach, where all the smarts (Machine Learning, Differential Privacy, Secure Enclave, etc.) reside on your device, not in the cloud, is the most promising. As imagined in so much sci-fi (eg. the Hosaka in Neuromancer) you build a relationship with your device which gets to know you, your habits and, most importantly in regard to search, what you mean when you search for something and what results are most likely to be relevant to you. An on-device search agent could potentially be the best solution because this very personal and, crucially, private device will know much more about you than you are (or should be) willing to forfeit to the cloud providers whose business is, ultimately, to make money off your data.

Why are you assuming other renewables is mostly waste/biomass? In the notes below the table, wind is cleary mentioned.
My guesstimate would be that wind was a large proportion. I confirmed by checking wikipedia.

EIA Total for year was listed as 4,177,810 in 1000s of MWhr
Other Renewables 354,445 in 1000s of MWhr

From wikepedia - national trends section graph
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_the_United_State...

2018 Wind power generated 274,962 in 1000s of MWhr. So makes up over 75% of other renewables. Chart shows wind has grown from 94,000 in 2009. Which combining with the EIA data, showing 143,388 in 2009, means most of the growth in non-solar renewables is from wind.
> You can't just claim something which is demonstrably functional somewhere doesn't in fact work because your half baked theory trumps actual reality. This is why this sort of comment is downvoted.

What actual reality? Because there's price controls doesn't mean it works. It generates scarcity, always.

Go to SF, put all rentals to 100 dollars and see the effects of the price controls. They will be the same there and in China.

I am not surprised people who deny the fact of economic science is downvoting this.
Western medicine is not "western", is THE medicine based in proved facts. Scientifically proven.

Anything that experimentally works, being chinese or icelandese, is included in medicine so there are a fair possibily that anything working in chinese medicine is yet included in medicine. The rest is just in the category of "dubious traditions, superstitions, fairy tales and non trustable until proven".

The basis if acupuncture is to selectively "stimulate" nerve fibers so the pain dissapears, but the nerve funcion is temporarily damaged. Is not different than blue scorpion poison against cancer, or being struck by an electric current. Killed nerves can't feel or transmit pain sensations but pain is an important defense system for animals. Anesthetics do not cure nerve issues, just hide the problem, as acupuncture does.

Sticking needles in a finger maybe could be acceptable. Touching the spine with several hot metal objects has a much higher risk and probably unaceptable in the balance of benefits and cons IMHO.

We could supercharge word of mouth. I've been thinking about an alternative upvote model where content is ranked not primarily based on aggregate voting but by:

- ranking content that users you have upvoted higher

- ranking content that users with similar upvote behaviour higher

While there is a risk of upvote bubbles, it should potentially make it easier for niche content to spread to interested people and make it possible for products and services to spread using peer trust rather than cold shouting.
Yes of course!

In a capitalist market where the one main goal is to earn as much profit as you can people use everything legal on a big scale because they won't have a chance to beat competition otherwise.

The really big ones even invent new "dark patterns" and more than enough are also willing to do stuff which is illegal as long as they can cover their tracks or think they can.

It's a flaw in the whole system because incentives lead people to morally questionable decisions. It doesn't advance humanity or something like that - a free market is free so no one stops the evil geniuses to get the max. out of it.

They have generally had mixed success, from the ones I've read about. Pretty often there are side effects that aren't good (e.g. bricking some devices, excess traffic due to being too successful, that kind of thing)

But yea, in this case I think it's clearly too complex. There are thousands of different things hooked up to the internet, and you can't fix all of them at once.

I have trouble following your line of argument. One is not allowed to ask questions using the pronoun "you" as in "How you are doing?"

And I don't see it as a rhetorical device, but effectively asking the question "Why didn't you offer the right compensation prior to being publicly shamed?" which IMHO is a very valid question for anybody dealing with the said company, as the responses can vary from "We didn't understand the damage it would do us and we want to contain it" to "We're seeing the errors in our approach and we'll do better from now on".

Right now the response in somewhere in between these two, and clarification is important.
Here [1] are some data on this exact topic. Pew broke down ideology by age. While it's true that older individuals tend to become more conservative, this is a not a new phenomena and has been observed and commented upon for centuries. Of course when young we know there is no chance we could ever 'compromise' our views as the years pass. Nonetheless, life experience changes us in ways we often could never have predicted. Ok, but in spite of this there's no crystal clear correlation. In particular the split among ideology on the 65+ group that most consistently votes one way or the other (representing about 66% of the entire population) is split 50/50. And similarly there is also much more diversity in views among younger individuals than is typically represented by e.g. social media.

The one interesting correlation they did observe is one between your cohort's (by age group) voting tendencies and whom the president was when your cohort turned 18. Like you mention the Greatest generation who turned 18 under FDR lean heavily democratic. Though contradicting your hypothesis is the fact that you're presumably referencing WW2. And the Silent generation served extensively in this war. And they lean heavily republican.

One interesting thing I've observed (and wrote in a post a little above in a peer to this comment chain) is there tends to be a periodic shifting of ideology, that in general just tends to be against the status quo. And Pew's data provides some really interesting insight there. For instance they broke Boomers down into three 5 year groups. The groups are divided based upon who was president when they turned 18. Those 3 presidents were Kenny/Johnson, Nixon, and Ford/Carter. The Ford/Carter combination is frustrating for data, but regardless the results we get:

- Kennedy/Johnson - lean heavily republican

- Nixon - lean heavily democrat

- Ford/Carter - lean heavily republican

Not easy to classify things in a straight forward way, but interesting data nonetheless!

"while its members — who again, are the validators — do control the Libra protocol, Facebook does not control the validators. Which, by extension, means that Facebook will not control Libra."

Within the designed protocols, yes, Facebook gets one vote equal to the the single vote of any other node.

Outside the system lens, Facebook brings this product to potentially 2.38 billion users. That dwarfs the value that any other validator can bring.

If Facebook becomes unhappy with what the consortium is doing, it can simply say "Hey, we're gonna stop using Libra, and start a new fork." So while they may not control other validator members, they can certainly strong arm them into falling in line.
> The solution? Offer your code under an open source license, but also have a purchase option to buy a commercial license

There is one problem though, when you put a commercial license to your software, it effectively make you a software seller and thus maybe facing associated legal issues and responsibilities (provide user support, pay tax for example).

And sometime, those responsibilities can be a huge trouble.
