Denmark itself is a pretty valuable strategic asset. What with controlling the seaways into the Baltic. If Greenland is valuable, then Denmark would likely be guaranteed to own it. In the same way, that Denmark has remained independent.

During the Second Schleswig War in 1864, the King of Denmark offered Otto von Bismarck thrice that Denmark - instead of relinquishing Schleswig - would join the German Confederation - which Bismarck would later turn into the German Empire.

All three times, Bismarck rejected the offer for two primary reasons: 1) He did not believe Danes would join a pan-German state and 2) (more importantly) the other great powers would have a big problem with Denmark being German.

In the same fashion, the fight over Greenland would lead to the compromise solution that Greenland remain none of the great/super powers. The US would never accept it falling into Russian hands, but they could accept Denmark keeping it.
> This kind of generalization is normally read as "Typically, doctors [as a profession] are slow to…"

Medical professionals need to be slow to adopt alternatives because they are required (and expected) to be highly reliable. Just because there's a particular industry where rebuilding the whole infrastructure every 6 months without fear of any consequence is considered normal or even desirable, that does not mean the rest of the world should or even could operate likr that.
"$4 per TB/month" so 16 X 12 = $192+tax not a insignificant amount even in a first world country and probably a deal breaker for people living in poorer countries.
I agree that, at the individual level, focusing on the beautiful aspects seems like a reasonable coping strategy, and I can’t help but think that on larger scales of time and space, it only helps perpetuate the horrors.

Sometimes when people talk about Tor, it reminds me of how people talked about Linux up until a couple years ago - often touting very out-dated impressions as if they were current observations. Tor bandwidth is very different than it was 5-10 years ago.

Could say that just as well for people who willingly put up with Microsoft.

Think about it in terms of cars. Imagine spread out 3k cars around the surface of the earth. Each car will be thousands of Km away from each other. For example New York has 5 million registered cars. And they manage to use only a fraction of available land dedicated to roads. So I don’t think 3k is anything for a orbit around earth, which is also much bigger than the surface of the earth itself

Edit: I am not saying a collision would not cause the effect that OP referred to. I am saying that 3K satellites in Earth's orbit will be very far apart, so the odds of them colliding in the first place is incredibly low.

Well, you can, just like you can choose not to work, shower or clean, but you're not fulfilling your duties in that case.
going off on a tangent despite this being a really cool paper (sorry :)). There was another one on the topic (just a few days ago) by Amit Klein / Benny Pinkas: From IP ID to Device ID and Kaslr Bypass (Extended Version): https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.10478

This IP ID leak affects Windows, Linux (and Android) and allows fingerprinting across the network (no need for a browser). E.g if you were to switch to a different network etc. Onion routing (Tor) isn't affected but a MITM could track individual machines behind NAT or bust you through a VPN etc

Linux implementation of (K)ASLR seems a source of controversy since some time. grsecurity[¹] has been raving about this for years:
grsec: "KASLR: An Exercise in Cargo Cult Security" https://grsecurity.net/kaslr_an_exercise_in_cargo_cult_secur...

Most Linux servers are hopefully patched meanwhile. Android phones, or Android based WiFI/4G routers etc probably not so much.

Patch submitted by Amit Klein to LKML: "inet: update the IP ID generation algorithm to higher standards": https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/24/1717

Edit:

They reverse engineered a per host random seed from network traffic on Windows and Linux, allowing fingerprinting, and more surprising, turned this into a KASLR break on Linux.

>- At the time, Qualcomm was holding most essential patents required for implementing 3G (and probably now 4G). Licensing fees are enormous burden on anyone entering the market.

From what I know, you don't need any licensing to design and implement a 3G/4G/ or even 5G Modem. ( Unless you want CDMA Support ) It is the ODM or Phone Manufactures that has to take care of it. Much like you don't need a license to include H.264 decoder, not even to ship it. But you will need to pay if you decide to enable it.

>only successful cellular maker I'm aware of besides Qualcomm is MediaTek

Mediatek is awesome. By concentrating on low end, something Qualcomm doesn't want to do, they have an economy of scale for both Fabs Capacity, Design and Modem testing.

And just a note, Huawei, assuming they will Settle with Qualcomm, and Samsung both have their own Modem Implementation. These two represent close to 40% of market. And if you include Apple down the line, that is roughly 55%. Adding Mediatek, that is close to 70%. And that is excluding BBK and Xiamoi plans to make their own modem, together they represent 15% to 20%. Qualcomm doesn't have a monopoly as media likes to paint it.

When a close friend's body was starting to fail from lung cancer (and it was clear that it was his final days), I think we were very lucky that we both enjoyed video games. He was bedridden, slowly losing his motor functions, and it was hard to talk since breathing started to become difficult - but in a multiplayer video game with a controller and large buttons, he could be very expressive!

There were goofy moments (where he would make his character wear something silly, and I'm pretty sure he was fishing for a reaction from me, too) or moments where I could see him emote through the in-game characters (like making a character's animation look like it's panicking by moving controls around arbitrarily, and you can see the video game character flail wildly). Through these actions I could see my friend's personality clearly, and I think being able to express yourself is important when you've been in the hospital for a while. I can only assume that he also found some joy from it as well, since it could have been difficult to express the same emotions when you're attached to machinery and often short of breath.

I think it's important to connect with people using the time we have alive, and I really think anyone in palliative care (or knows someone in palliative care) could consider video games as another option for connecting with your friends and family. With the right game/accessibility of controls, and an appropriate level of energy/attention span, it could be something that brings people closer even as we hit our physical limits.
I'd love to find meta analyses of problem solving skills learning.
Back in my days as an academic I would follow the same pattern every day: start working early from 7 till 10, take a long walk to the lab have a couple informal meetings with colleague, have lunch. Work there for a couple hours (my « available hours », run some errands or see a friend for coffee and work another couple hours. I have never been as productive as I was back then.

I don’t think this schedule would work for everyone but the general idea was: intense work for a short periods of time, take some time to talk with colleagues and go through meetings and then work again, with long breaks in between. That way I could manage 8 hours of productivity without burning out. And yes, sometimes I would get in flow and work for 12 hours straight without eating. But those days were more the exception than the rule. The point is I could have roughly 8 hours most days working this way.

In companies I’ve worked with I’ve always felt babysitted, as though I was unable to discipline myself when not watched all the time by managers. The truth is we don’t all work in the same way, and we are all reasonably interested in our job—-and if we’re not, sitting all day in the office is not going to change that. So why don’t we make room for everyone’s pattern while keeping some team time every day?

Why would the US do this? They are the incumbents and there's no advantage (and possibly only disadvantage) to owning this territory.

My personal view is that the current geographical extent of the United States is static; there is no political will to change this - and why would you, when you can get all the benefits without the problems?

Huawei, Samsung, Mediatek, Unisoc ( Spreadtrum ), Intel and Apple in the future.

If you exclude Unisoc and Intel, the other could represent a total of up to 70% Smartphone Market. That is assuming Mediatek continues to dominate the lower end, and the top 3 vendor, Samsung, Huawei, Apple's market share are stable.

There are quite a few other players focusing on M2M LTE solution.

>technically isn’t Greenland in America?

Yes it is, and to add to that, Greenland also isn't in the EU. French Guiana is France, and it is in the EU, it just happens to be in South America. Greenland/Denmark is more like Scotland/United Kingdom.

Also it would be more appropriate to ask: Should Greenland be independent? There's a whole list of problems with that, and until those issues are worked out, Denmark is Greenlands least worst option.
> "I cant know" is a subset of "I dont know"

There is a world of difference between "don't know" and "can't know", as the first implies a shortcoming on the side of the developer while second one states that the question is patently meaningless to someone who does master the language.
Thankfully he didnt, but he is a well tenured English teacher who like to focus on biblical themes. Hes a nice guy really, and I liked him as a person, but he is absolutely batshit insane, this was just one of his "eccentric" beliefs

The last time I tried putting a REST API in front of my predictive model, I used plumbr. I also then learned that the R runtime was single threaded, so that only 1 request could be processed at a time. I don’t know how you can overcome this, and it makes things significantly difficult to put into a real production environment.

I’m sure someone will chime in that there are different runtimes, like Microsoft’s (does this run on MacOS? If not, how can I use it to develop and test on my laptop) or some expensive RStudio solution.

The fact is you have none of those problems in e.g., Python. Although I would prefer to use Caret for many predictive modeling tasks, it is non-trivial to take the R runtime to production. That was what I walked away with.
Ask HN: How do you maintain balance between all the things you want to do?
I often find myself trying to do many things and often times I end up just procrastinating. This creates a negative feedback loop and I'm wondering how do you manage your time to achieve things.

As a list of things I'm trying to constantly do:

1. Write a personal journal / meditate / exercise.
2. Read (as per on a reading list of books)
3. Work
5. Study (learning / improving my general CS skills, frontend skills, etc.)
6. Maintain a healthy relationship
7. Socialize

I'm trying to organize myself to wake up @6am and go through journaling > meditating > work > exercise or read. However, I often find out I'm kind of overwhelmed or I can't spend qualitative time in my relationship / don't have time to do other chores.

Are you in a similar situation? What are your coping strategies to work things out?
I noticed the other day GNUnet [0] here on HN, and it seems to me that there could be a bit of overlap here, especially for the filesharing system... Is there any collaboration happening between these two systems? From my couch perspective, they both look great and seem as though they could compliment each other really well.

All the studies focus on single-task performance. Indeed, typing random characters for several hours a day would lose my attention.

I don’t know of a study that estimates the maximum number of productive hours over a varied workload such as running a startup. There clearly is a limit, but it’s high — maybe 90 hrs/wk for motivated people.

In practice, it’s the neglecting of other things like relationships and exercise that kicks in before mental energy limits.

And that's fine; cold impersonal anger can be a very powerful motivator if channeled properly. My question is what are WE going to do about it?

For me:

1/ support the Grauniad [0]: the gulf between the quality of their journalism and the rest of the market is gaping. I may not agree with all their views but the world is a better place with their investigative push

2/ let's leverage the HN community: one of the constant messages I've seen in my limited time on HN is how diverse and capable the community is. Surely we can do this and more if we set our heart to it?

It may not be the most popular view at the moment but I do believe "The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, But It Bends Toward Justice". But this doesn't happen automatically; each of us need to push the pendulum, and a billion pushes can outweigh quite a bit of unfairness...
How do we know that "former" is not just on paperwork?

When I hear the arguments against China and their tech companies, I don't have a problem believing them, however I do not expect anything less from the USA.

Remember Snowden? I'm simply assuming that Facebook, Google, Apple, Cisco or any other US tech company are tapped by the US 3 letter agencies. There were some reveleations on that(PRISMA) but it's probably just tip of the iceberg.

And now the Chinese. So what?

So. Could anyone explain why it is doing that?

My (very rough) intuition to what w2v does is that it associates each word with a point in a space, then moves the points around so that their distances roughly correspond to how often they are used together with similar other words. (I.e., two words that both are often preceded by "It happened in" would be put close to each other, while words occurring into very different sentences would be placed further apart.)

I can see how this could give some semantic meaning to clusters of words - however, I'm still baffled as to why it gives meaning to directions within the vector space.

I also wonder how consistent it is. Seems to me it would be interesting to investigate the directions further. E.g., are all of them meaningful? What happens if I slightly rotate or scale a direction? How much transformation can I apply before it changes its meaning?

Are there more complex shapes in the space that also have meaning?

Macros look the same as functions in lisp, the only difference is that you can't pass them as function arguments. Unless there is a bug in the macro you just spend the same time understanding the macro that you would understanding a function.

Most macros are just simple syntactic abstractions that expands simple code to more lines of relatively simple code to avoid boilerplate. Very rarely do people write complex beasts without documentation.
Yeah, many of the cyclists in London wear fancy clothes and ride fast bikes. It's an identity thing.

There is an sad/interesting gender gap too because many of the cycle commuters are male. There should be a real push by companies to make cycling more female friendly. That means having easy changing rooms/showers at work and giving women a little more time to get ready in the morning.

I love biking in London, going fast to the Aldi and carrying my groceries back on the special bike lanes, but there are still issues to resolve.
Slow down there turbo. Nobody said anything about your skill (although PhD doesn't particularly mean a talented developer - some of the worst code ive seen come from cs phds where some only understand the highest polynomial in big-o but forget the other factors). And nobody cares a cent about you getting whatever award from moz.

A said anything about optimizing in inappropriate areas (honestly, what did you get that from). This entire thread started because somebody didn't understand why people often user linked list as an example of something difficult in rust.

> Of course I create data structures, but almost always by combining hashtables, arrays and smart pointers and occasionally something more exotic from a library.

But that does scream "I don't really do a lot of performance oriented work". That you can somehow cobble together an apple out of a banana and a cat by probably using a metric ton of boxes and refcounts (that are just used to get around the borrow checker) doesn't surprise me if you are willing to make the readability and performance sacrifices.

This is largely effected by the nutrition / mental / health state of the individual. I personally spend a lot of time (cooking, sports, spend time researching mineral/vitamin/other supplements), and it took me around 4 years to find the things my body needs. I am now very rarely "energy exhausted" and mentally clear the whole day, having more energy than 10 years ago.
The message here is that one can spend time and pick up habits that make the body function better, with a good chance that the efforts will pay off one day.
> I think the parent was assuming "steep learning curve" here was qualified as "for a piece of software used by programmers";

No. For example, my cousin plays it, someone who typically plays games like the Sims (and other games popular amongst women), has no university degree. She has no trouble with Factorio. I am honestly confused how anyone would call Factorio a difficult game. It's nigh impossible to lose unless you change the default settings to generate a more difficult world with much more aggressive biters. It's a building game, not a shooter that requires any kind of skill or specialised software that requires a manual.

Edit: asked said cousin whether she thought it has a steep learning curve. Answer was "lol, yes! And the curve just continues, there is still lots I could do better". I suppose having nearly only programmers as friends skewed my view of how many people had no trouble getting into it.
