From their statement: "As a service to our restaurants, we have created microsites for them as another source of orders and to increase their online brand presence. Additionally, we have registered domains on their behalf, consistent with our restaurant contracts. We no longer provide that service and it has always been our practice to transfer the domain to the restaurant as soon as they request it."

What service do they no longer provide? Registering domains on their behalf, or microsites, or both? Going forward are they going to have the company register their domain themselves and point it to GrubHub?
You write: "Almost every system down to our organelles depends on gravity in some direct or indirect way."

Do you have any evidence of that? The equivalence principle says that force from gravity cannot be distinguished from the force due to an accelerated frame of reference.

For example, a spinning multi-generational star ship could have a 1 g pseudo-gravitational force on the inner surface, but no actual gravity - in the sense the requires quantum gravity - other than the weak gravitational force from distant stars.

If as you imply quantum gravity were essential to life, and such that life could not use a force like from rotating or accelerating, then it would disprove the equivalence principle and be worthy of a Nobel Prize.
It’s also now harder for the restaurants to leave? They may get lazy with advertising more generally and then would lose a lot if GH shut down the sites as a result?
I tend to agree. Due to its sheer popularity, I did some work with OO. In some languages, like Ruby, it has a certain charm.

But in its traditional Gang of Four incarnation (which I encountered years later as a newbie), it felt like an awful lot of ceremony and unneeded complexity to get anything done.

Did it ever occur to you to give your mother an account on your own mail server? If the problem is communicating, using e-mail, with your mother, then that would be an easier solution path than trying to get Google to care about your mail server.

If you configured your server to use SSL, which you absolutely should do, then you would have the added advantage of secure communication as the message would never be sent in the clear over the open Internet.
Grubhub's official statement appears to not understand what cybersquatting actually means, and "created the websites for them" with the ordering process still occurring through Grubhub's platform oftentimes by simply changing the TLD of a company's existing website. Since these orders would directly feed into Grubhub's service, the business could be on the hook for a percentage fee that can be as high as 35% of the order's cost. This definitely seems to fall under extortion and cybersquatting to me.

Can these two EEPROMs at least be flashed through test points, so they can be recovered without de-soldering if they're corrupted? (The RPi4 schematics on the site are next to useless.) That would also allow dumping both EEPROMs to compare them with a "known good" copy, in case there's any suspicion they've been maliciously modified.

I host my own Synapse instance and for the most part it's very reliable. I don't bridge to anything. So far it's been like pulling teeth to get my friends to sign up but once they do it's been super reliable. I'm traveling through Japan right now and the server hosted in NYC has been fine.

There are a few problems. First the UI for approving new client connections in encrypted chat rooms is complete crap. It needs to be clear and concise what is happening and currently it starts a super complicated verification process which is frankly confusing.

It simply needs to say "$user has signed in on a new device $deviceName. Is it okay to send messages to this device? Yes/No"

That's it.

Also there needs to be a better way to integrate third party plugins. One thing I miss from Facebook messenger is being able to paste a Spotify link and have the song come up as an embed.

Finally the bot API could use work. I spent some time professionally maintaining a Slack bot for a major American cable company and currently it's much harder to make a Matrix bot and documentation is lacking.
Allowing a user to make themselves discoverable is fine. The real question is why was "vector.im" used and not "matrix.org", or the user simply prompted? And why is that data queryable without any kind of authentication?

Also, the Identity servers are part of a closed cluster where data is replicated. We are aware of vector.im and matrix.org but you did not answer the following question of the research document: is there other servers in that closed cluster? If yes, which?

Agreed, although I don't know of a straight C way of implementing COUNTOF without repeating the argument. So it becomes a lesser-of-two-evils question: is the macro (with its flaws) better than doing the calculation explicitly every time you need it?

The __countof macro in MSVC does go to some extra work to make it more safe, so it's definitely recommended to use that instead of rolling your own COUNTOF in that environment.
Honestly, since we're on HN, I'll point out that this sounds like a potential startup opportunity created for someone to make implementation of compliance easier for these exchanges, at scale.
At least some of the Orange Pi boards don't require any blobs (if you ignore the boot ROM - which isn't user replacable in any case, and that's probably a good thing since it improves brick resistance). The open source drivers for the hardware video decode and graphics are a little bleeding-edge and require a very recent kernel and libraries though.

One of the places this helps you is when you push out a one line javascript bug fix without invalidating your CSS caching across the entire site, because the CSS files are identical.

It also helps you with people with the website open when the new code gets pushed. They either have all the old code or all the new code and no bizarre mishmash of the two.

This is all documentation on the SoC EEPROM available. (I don't believe there is any USB EEPROM information publicly available at the moment.)

The good news: You don't need de-soldering to fix them. If you should corrupt the EEPROM, you can plug in an SD card with a special 'recovery.bin' file on it and it will re-flash the EEPROM itself. (This does mean that the Pi _technically_ has an extremely tiny boot ROM permanently installed in it still, but all it does is repair the boot EEPROM if it is damaged and start that boot EEPROM if it isn't damaged).

You can also write-protect the EEPROMs with a special soldiered-on resistor on the board.

As for dumping, no public info yet.

>ICBM intercept has been a solved problem for (at least) a quarter century in the US, the core capability is quite reliable.

This is a bold claim (one might say absurdly bold) that demands extensive support if you don’t want readers to dismiss your commentary completely. Let’s start from here: the problem solution can only be inferred from tests, because no ICBMs have ever been launched at a target.

Those tests must have provided overwhelming confidence for the real world scenario. So how are those test result?
The (northern) US, and previously the UK --- both places with mild and cool climates. In fact, in the UK (where the Raspbery Pi Foundation is, so this discussion isn't totally unrelated), 18C is considered a comfortable minimum to heat a house to, and it usually doesn't get much hotter than mid-20s in the summer. I suspect 20C (68F) is chosen in the US because it's a "round number" and happens to have an exact Celsius-Farenheit conversion, while also being within the typical comfortable temperature range.

Thus, it wouldn't surprise me if the RPis perform better at 18C than they do at 28C.
Even plain `COUNTOF(ptr)` is wrong, unless `ptr` is an array.
I'm not real happy with either of the two. They both have connotations that are irrelevant: "ephemeral" tends to mean brief/transitory, while any negation of "material" leans toward either non-existence or "not-mattering."

There's already a 90s-origin term that considers this same phenomenon, in the same context, and addresses it in the way we want it to: virtual. Software on phones "virtualizes" our clocks/cameras/etc. Wired of all publications should remember that one. Actually maybe they're explicitly avoiding it after spending years saying "virtual" seemingly every 3rd or 4th word!

N-gram of "virtual":

True, it could be open-sourced, but the RPT would no longer exist after the lawsuits are finished.

Edit: Even if the RPT wrote their own firmware, not from Broadcom, and released it, they would still risk being sued to pieces for patent violations galore. After all, if you license H.265 alone, there are over 1,100+ pages in the Table of Contents alone just listing all of the patents worldwide on it.

Edit 2: And they could be possibly sued by Broadcom for violating the IP sharing agreement used for developing the chip by developing an open-source blob software.

Lower-case words have a wider variety of shape, as so many letters have markings extending above and below the horizontal lines that bound the letter o. UPPER-CASE WORDS ARE BASICALLY ALL RECTANGLES OF VARYING WIDTH AND FIXED HEIGHT. BUT THEY USE MUCH LESS WHITESPACE, WHICH IS WHAT LOWER-CASE WORDS USE TO CARVE OUT SHAPE.

I believe the result is that lower-case words are easier to read at sufficiently close distance but legibility drops off sooner as distance increases. I also believe that while upper-case words may be less legible, individual letters are more legible as upper-case, and therefore upper-case words may be easier for very inexperienced readers who haven’t learned words by shape and still piece them together by letter.
Wow yeah, these are hilarious.

It descends logically from my position: if we are at war with China, Chinese nationals are the enemy.

Not every war is fought with guns, not all the time. We are in a period that's equivalent to an asymmetric version of the Cold War.

Would you refute that the United States has been at war for decades with the Soviet Union?

You seem to have an issue with my ideas, not with my language. I welcome the debate about those ideas, but it doesn't seem appropriate to throw the weight of your status as moderator to win an argument against ideas you don't like. Isn't that exactly the opposite of what the spirit of HN is?
A bit of both. The original company exploration into opinion questions and things that didn't fit well on Stack Overflow was a site that was Not Programming Related. That lasted for a very short time and became Programmers Stack Exchange. Joel came out and warned the site - https://stackoverflow.blog/2010/09/17/merging-season/

> There’s an even longer list of things that really belong on the new Programmers Stack Exchange, which appears to be degrading into fairly stupid water-cooler nonsense, and could benefit from an infusion of more meaty subjects, like these proposals ...

This lead to the six subjective guidelines ( http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-su... ) and its enforcement notice ( https://softwareengineering.meta.stackexchange.com/q/350 )

An early history of this is recapped at https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/200144

From the moderator and curator side... it's not at all enjoyable being a volunteer trying to keep the site on track. Combine this with the difficulty of fitting those questions to the framework... and the only people who wanted those questions were the people who randomly stopped by to answer about farting in the cubicle or naming of a cat or ask about the patron saint of programming. No lasting community formed around the questions, no one wanted to moderate or curate them... and so both the company and the people who curated the site got a rather strong "no opinion based questions" stance.

It is much easier to draw a clear line that is "too strict" and curate that line than it is to not have that line and have many judgement calls depending on who is looking at the post today.

While we can probably agree that the following questions are certainly over the line...

Farting in the cubicle: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/4954... ; example answer: http://i.stack.imgur.com/Qvcqx.png

where do you put "what is the best php framework?" or "should I work for a company that does porn?" or "should I work at SCO?"

This isn't saying there isn't a place for such questions - just that the Q&A framework that SO uses provides a poor medium for such questions and there are other places for people who want to ask those questions to ask them.
I see a lot of government shops picking Azure because nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft.

As far as I know, the SoC supported higher SD card speeds all the way back to the first Pi and the original drivers even tried to use them. The trouble is, the older Pis couldn't switch to the lower IO voltages required to actually operate at those speeds. Early adopters actually had to track down older, slower SD cards in order to use their Pis because otherwise SD card access would fail due to the driver erroneously switching speeds.

That's preposterous, you know full well that not every war is fought with weapons of mass destruction, not all the time at least.

The Cold War is a perfect example, and very similar to the situation we are in now with China. Are you suggesting the Cold War wasn't a war either?
When I started, I was an intern. I was lucky to live in a day where not every metrics were used to rate someone's productivity. So employees had time for me. Time to help me learn, and figure out stuff.

As I wasn't paid, I had low pressure to deliver good things. That said I was trying really hard to bring a net positive.

I miss the days where having interns was a common thing. We'd give them the repetitive boring jobs but they'd also get real experience and see _how_ things were done. Later they'd be trusted to do just about anything.

Now it's all 'senior'. Every job is looking for a heavy-hitter rockstar superman. Even if it's wrapped into this joly 'hey we're cool and kinda awesome too, woowee us!' - they're still wanting to find senior mad-scientists.

I contract myself out to large/small businesses, all sorts of industries, big pay jobs. Number of interns: 0.

The net result is I see plenty of 'senior engineers' hired who I wouldn't call senior. They've got 5 years experience, 2 of them were writing tests, and they're 'senior'?

Do the future a favour, get a few interns. They'll keep you young!
