1Blocker X is a disaster, and I’m saying this as a customer of the original 1Blocker and an early adopter (pre-order) of 1Blocker X - it appears they’ve given up on updating their block lists and weren’t ever clear on where the lists were sourced from (I want EasyList and I kind of assumed that’s what they used but I could never be sure). I’m currently using AdGuard Pro instead which uses EasyList/EasyPrivacy and can import and convert (to the best of its abilities) uBlock-style lists.

The problem with the declarative API is that 1) it’s just not as flexible as uBlock, especially in a world where billions are being poured into bypassing blockers and 2) each blocker extension is limited to 50k rules which is not enough (some apps work around this by registering multiple blocker extensions, but frankly this limitation is BS and should not exist to begin with) and 3) blockers don’t run with the browser, so you have to open the app every so often to update the blocking rules.

Install apps that are not available in the store, block ads system-wide, use custom keyboard and launcher, view files of wide selection of formats (e.g. my audio files collection is in OPUS and I don't know how do I load the files to an iPhone and listen to them) and manage them the same way I do on my laptop.
Worth noting GNUnet has been around in at least name since 2001, back in the heady days when peer-to-peer was the new hotness. Was it the next Napster? Competition for JXTA? An evolution of Freenet? The reality is it wasn't very much of anything back then. I've got no idea how the project of today relates to the project of the same name 18 years ago.

Microsoft's own tech support forums are filled with this non-advice. Either system restore is brought up, or SFC /scannow which rarely fixes anything. Often it really is more time efficient just to do a system reset or start completely from scratch, but if you do have time and the skill to understand the underlying problem it's preferable to learn how to fix it. Reset/re-install teaches nothing.

Any of the mainstream operating systems are tremendously complicated, so free support is probably worth what you pay for it.
Have a fully functional ad-blocker. Firefox + uBlock Origin is the only thing that makes mobile browsing tolerable.

IPhones don't let you install add-ons in browsers, so you're stuck with rule-based content blocking, which has caps and can't do some of the things add-ons can do.

I'd love to switch to an iPhone, but this feature is a deal-breaker for me.

Until that keyboard breaks. Quite a few reported issues for both the KEYone and 2 where the space bar and fingerprint reader just stops working, thanks to TCL build quality. And they are terrible with upgrades, KEYone only got Oreo, and certain versions didn't even get that upgrade at all, in particular the CDMA version, both locked and unlocked.
I think it's an American thing. My workplace (Seattle) keeps the AC set around 72F (22C). In the summer, I walk to work in a t-shirt around 7AM, then put on a thin hoodie at work...

Feels weird to me, but college and people's homes are usually set to mid-70F too (or ambient temperature).
You’ve boxed this off in some artificial way, IMO.

Open source coders provide software development and support services for free. They’re not providing a physical product.

I feel like you’re stuck on some ephemeral concept around what a service is.

Human beings provide a services for a variety of prices. A business provides a profit generating pipeline.

And we all see how those can vanish over night. Or just decide to kill things coughgooglecough

Seems like a contrived line in the sand, IMO
In the US, 20-24C is a pretty typical AC setting, with commercial buildings usually closer to the cool end. I don't put on a jacket (other than for fashion) until 15C or so. For me, 26C would negatively impact my productivity.

But what about package build chains? Are there ever (or at least commonly) calls to SKS keyservers?
Not numpy, but Gorgonia tensors are just pointers. The reason: it's cheaper to pass around one word than the absolute minimum "fatness" to pass around a multidimensional array.

The absolute minimum meta info required for a multidim array is shape, stride. Numpy implements them as a [HUGENUMBER] array of integers for both. Gorgonia implements them as slices. Both of these incur a lot of additional movement of memory.

For me, 20C is the point where I have to reach for a jacket, otherwise I start shivering from the cold and can't concentrate.

All air conditioner remote controls I've seen default to 24C whenever the batteries are replaced, so I believe 24C is the "standard" room temperature that AC manufacturers aim for.
Please forgive my ignorance, but how does this reach the surface of the earth without causing some form of physical disaster?
Teachers are government employees, so they have a more sympathetic case. I don’t think the U.S. would ever employ doctors directly like in the UK. Politicians would rather have more money to spend on other projects than a marginal amount more compensation for doctors that aren’t even on their payroll.
That isn't true. Our entire biological system evolved with gravity in mind; for proof, simply look at what is required of astronauts in deep space to prevent muscular and other cellular atrophy. Whether a similar system is achievable without gravity is out of scope; ours is dependent on it.
Can you tinyurl a url with more than a few thousand characters?

Even if this were possible (which, even if tinyurl supported it, would break most browsers) you would be effectively hosting your content on tinyurl.com. Again, this is no different from hosting the file on any of a zillion public data hosting services.

I work in county government IT in Ohio, and the $50K number, per county court, seems like a reasonable estimate. I don't know anything about Pennaylvania, but in Ohio each court (of which there could be multiple in each county-- a court of Common Pleas, a Juvenile Court, and one or more Municipal courts) would each have their own disparate court management systems. In my county there are currently 3 different systems covering 3 courts. Each one would need its own integration.

A few years ago the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio undertook a multi-year data warehouse project to build a centralized reference database for all state courts. I assisted the vendor in our County and easily had a significant fraction of that $50K in my labor over a period of a couple of years.

I am not being abstract. Beyond molecular chemistry, gravity and electromagnetism are the dominant ambient forces.

We are still learning of the relationship between gravity and QM. What is complete and utter nonsense is refuting a hypothesis without understanding it.
English "or" is ambiguous between inclusive and exclusive meanings. Most of the time, the intended meaning is inferred based on context, but one can make it explicit by using phrases such as "but not both", "exactly one of", etc.

There exist languages which lack this ambiguity. Latin has two different words for "or" – "vel" (inclusive) and "aut" (exclusive).

I remember studying this problem in the context of anonymity a few years back, defining immeasurability as the property whereby an adversary cannot distinguish between different node counts, for example. The tank problem is related to mark recapture techniques for animal population size estimation. Shameless plug,

That isn't an inherent issue of composition though. You could say

{...students(ajaxDb), ...teachers(ajaxDb)}

to create an object that can handle both students and teachers. Or you could say

public class StudentsAndTeachers extends Students implements IStudents, ITeachers {
private _teachers;
public constructor(Database db, Teachers teachers) {
super(db);
_teachers = teachers;
}
public getTeacher(TeacherId teacherId) {
return _teachers.getTeacher(teacherId);
}
}

new StudentsAndTeachers(ajaxDb, new Teachers(ajaxDb));

It seems clear that the features of the language define what is verbose and what isn't verbose. Even the inheritance in the language that encourages inheritance is more verbose than the composition in the neutral language.

(More likely, you wouldn't write this, but every example that is colloquial in inheritance is non-colloquial in composition. The composition oriented solution can be used cleanly with strong guarantees provided to its users; whereas all inheritance oriented solutions are so tacky and hard to use that you will demand a framework with dependency injection which half your team won't be able to understand and will have to treat as magical incantations.)
If you read the article to the end they claim they're not cybersquatting. Sounds pretty disingenuous to me. One of the rationales given is that they'll transfer the domain to the restaurant if the latter requests it. Most of those restaurant owners probably won't know what's going on, or who to ask to have the domain transferred to them, or that they could even ask.

Edit: The text of their response is quite curious. In part it reads: "Additionally, we have registered domains on their behalf, consistent with our restaurant contracts. We no longer provide that service..."

If I were to guess, the fact that they'd be registering these domains was something slipped into the small print of their original contracts. Most restaurant owners probably wouldn't have noticed or understood the implications. The practice could have then been discontinued once it served its purposes of getting (or helping to get) Grubhub up to scale.
You also make a good point, in many places zoning would prohibit construction of identical replacements of much of the housing that is located there.

One of the commenters on the article you linked makes a good point:

"new single family homes are a very small part of the real estate market.

most of the big price moves have been in urban areas where single family dwellings uncommon and new homes extremely rare."
I feign no hypothesis; I am only stating curiosities yet to be explored.

Almost every system down to our organelles depends on gravity in some direct or indirect way.

We still don't understand the relationship between quantum and classical mechanics. We don't have the answers to test any hypothesis about the relationship between quantum gravitational fluctuations and classical physical systems. But that hardly makes the curiosity absurd; in fact it will one day be the subject of many experiments.

The distinction that is muddied up in the article as well as by many anti-Trump voices is that, while research in academia is published and open and supposed to be shared, there is a gray area that spills over into commercial research into applications of scientific discoveries where the IP is no longer destined to be openly available, and this research constitutes trades secrets that could be stolen and monetized by foreign entities at the expense of the United States. It is this research that has to be protected, and because of the gray area, many scientists have access to both types of research. It is very unfortunate that the lines are blurred in the interest of attacking a president that wants to keep our country's edge in technological advancements. The article went as far as claiming that Trump's administration might round up Chinese Americans and Chinese aliens as the Japanese were rounded up and sent to internment camps during WW2. The whole point is to make Trump into Hitler at every step, and although this was a more well-written hit piece, it is still click bait and attacks on the Trump administration. I hate that this political climate spills over into scientific articles now. The Chinese have been watched and accused of theft of IP for more than two decades, but it's only now open season on the current administration because the media loves to hate Trump. I'm sick and tired of it. The Chinese have stolen plans for fighter jets, been banned from buying Xeon processors, have been accused of directly copying the AMD Zen chips via masks instead of producing copies based on specs like AMD intended during the sale, and many other such things which either happened or started to happen before Trump took office. To claim that the increased enforcement of laws and regulations against economic espionage as a matter of discrimination against Asians which could eventually lead to WW2-style detention of Chinese nationals and Chinese Americans is purely incendiary nonsense aimed at attacking a President that aims to secure our worldwide economic and technological leadership. Anyone who believes this ought to be ashamed of themselves for falling for this garbage sensationalist journalism.
Having used Linux in various roles for nearly 20 years, I have to agree. Supporting Windows is hard enough when you have to tell the customer over the phone to click on the circle or flag thingy in the bottom left corner, because they haven't heard of the "start" menu, and have to hunt through Windows 10's old and new control panels. This is nothing compared to the differences between two contemporary distributions of Linux, with a choice of package managers, system init, and window managers. The dimensions of brokenness possible on Linux are generally unseen on Windows.
In a car situation, the car would have to honk its horn which is much more interrupting to people trying to sleep then small 'vmmm' which is only hearable in a small radius around the car.

I drive a hybrid and at least once I simply opened the window and said "excuse me" - people were surprised, but also happy to not hear the horn.
That sounds like one of those reductionist things believed by a Silicon Valleyist who doesn't know there's a world outside tech. Or maybe a project manager who depends on reducing everything to point scores.

>By one estimate, a data-hungry user’s smartphone can consume as much electricity in a year as her fridge does.

Bull-fucking-shit. At minimum a refrigerator uses 150 watts and averages over 200. In comparison, a flagship gaming smartphone with an overclocked SoC like the Asus ROG phone uses 3.8 watts while benchmarking. Nobody with two brain cells to rub together could be stupid enough to think a phone uses more power than a goddamn refrigerator. The fact the author treats that as a serious possibility should make you question the credibility of every single thing they've ever written.
For undergraduate studies, it would be very surprising if American universities would begin to jeopardize the cash cow of udnergraduate Chinese students over IP concerns, considering their refusal to do so over student integrity violations.
For their professors and administration, American universities have a serious problem with conflicts of interest. From what it sounds like in the article, Wu Xifeng was already working for someone else, and collecting a paycheck from MD Anderson by the time she left.
This isn't quite true. It's only true if you're browing from a computer that is moderately fast (at short timescales before throttling at minimum) and using a browser that does not respect your software freedoms. There are literally hundreds of millions of us out there where executing javascript code on sites made entirely out of javascript can be significant. Weather it's because you use many, many tabs, or browse using an old smart phone.

But of course that's not the real cost. That's the computation cost. The real cost of websites switching to an application model directly targeting the DOM is the loss of accessible webpages and the chance that every time you're going to get owned. Weather it's some information leak from speculative execution or something else.

Running JS on every page these days is just as stupid as opening every attachment you get emailed to you.
I read through to the end of TFA and they gave no FSolution. The only solution is to guarantee everyone a basic social security net for life that cover all the basics ie food shelter clothing healthcare and education. Anything more than that will need individuals to figure it out. As human civilization progresses our basic guarantees to human life also need to keep up and elevate.
Well English is analytic language, so the syntax of if, while, and positional arguments of functions reflect that.
Object oriented programming doesn't really fit every problem. It really seems more strange that it took so long for us to see some alternatives.

I mean, it took over programming like a revolution, like structured programming, but structured->OO doesn't have anything nearly like the benefits of unstructured->structured. It seems like a good paradigm for a couple of problem domains, but IMHO, it got cargo-culted on to everything about mainstream programming without delivering much on the promises it got sold with in regard to increased productivity and code re-use.
To make things worse, AFAIK the USB chip is connected through PCIe, so unless the RPi has an IOMMU, it could in theory DMA to anywhere in the host memory.
First thing I do on any new Android phone. It's also a great parlor trick, people are almost always amazed you can make their phone "faster" in under a minute.

For those who don't know, enable Developer Options, then change "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale" all to "0.5x". It should really be the default and I'm surprised there isn't a "0.25x" as of yet.
You’re not missing anything, its just bad reasoning.

Ask HN: Can I review your startup / product?
I've had a few startups and done product for a long time. Over the years I've gotten a lot of feedback, as well as reviewed a lot of products and startups. I'm looking to start creating video content focused on reviewing startups, so that everyone can benefit.

If you're interested in having me review your product, comment with your product and the best way to get in contact with you. I'll review it and reach back out when I'm finished, with a link to the results. Thanks!
Ours as mammals maybe. But there is life "as we know" it that works perfectly fine without gravity. Just look at the recent news about fungi growing all over the ISS. No gravity necessary and quite obviously life by our standards.
Yeah, that's why I was asking. I've seen some various comments about the details of this but nothing definitive. I'm hoping when I have the mental bandwidth to sit down and go through the TLA proofs of HLC I'll fully grok it.

One immediate difference between TrueTime and HLC springs to mind though: TT knows the clock ambiguity when the timestamp was generated, HLC does not. So in practice I think TT may see much shorter wait intervals, than HLC which would have to conservative wait out the maximum clock drift estimate allowed.

A skim through the cdb source is consistent with this. It looks like when they hit a read/write conflict where the write has a non-zero logical component in it's HLC stamp, then they wait out any remaining portion of the ambiguity window. Since the max offset is around 400ms, that seems like it could hurt pretty bad under contended writes.

I think HLC would get more interesting if the stamps were extended with the ambiguity interval at stamp time.
The businessman who belongs to Johns town called William had decided to shift his manufacturing to Bangladesh as well as sell his wares in Bangladesh. It was good for the Bangladeshi worker and extremely good for William. Not so good for John and an unknown Bangladeshi entrepreneur who could not compete with William and went into oblivion.

The biggest ebike battery you're likely to find is 500 Watt-hours. That's about 6¢ for the average American to fill from zero to full, and that'll carry you 50 miles.
Pseudo-scientific BS. Don't call it "Math"
Stop spouting this "even organelles need gravity" non-sense.

Also: Going from quantum mechanics to classical mechanics is well understood as the limit ħ -> 0. What we don't have a good handle on right now is the connection between gravity (as described by general relativity) and quantum mechanics.
oh wow, tech companies doing shitty things to their "affiliates" and "partners"? nothing amazes me about these scummy companies anymore.
> that included two passes over the Equator (as opposed to shorter ostensible "circumnavigations" circling the North or South Pole)

This is a really funny way of describing what I assume was a great circle path. It's certainly possible to do a "shorter ostensible circumnavigation" that passes over the equator twice: take an axis through the earth that passes through the equator twice, and take a circular path around that axis of any size. It's only a bias that says such a path counts less than circling the North / South pole.

You can even circle one of the polls and cross the equator twice without it being a real circumnavigation. Fly a path around the Arctic circle, dip down just past the equator, and come straight back...
