You're confusing an analogy with a counterexample.

Analogies need to be analogous. Counterexamples can be extreme (and it is often helpful if they are; then they're obvious counterexamples).

Please take a minute to reread the discussion.

Coincidentally, I've noticed a pretty consistent pattern of downvotes on anything criticizing Google on Hacker News. Either a lot of readers from Google who drank the cool aid, or astroturf -- I'm not quite sure which.
In my opinion, Microsoft's implementation of MFA on Office 365 (at least our instance) is broken. SMS MFA is inadequate and should not be used, the SS7 network is apparently trivially hackable in some circles and text messages can be rerouted. So they want us to use MS Authenticator, great. However the 365 login screen always has the "Sign in another way" option in which I can just bypass the Authenticator app and use an SMS text. I cannot remove my mobile number from my profile to disable the option to SMS text because they are worried about me losing access to my app. I don't know if this is a limitation of Office 365 through our VAR or what, but it just seems pointless to offer an Authenticator app if there's an easy way to fall back to SMS and no way to disable SMS. If someone has my password and can reroute my text messages, a fancy shmancy Authenticator app is pointless. If this is not how it is for others with 365 I would love to know that, I hope it's not a limitation or policy put in place by our VAR.

Yes, it’s too hot. Yes, the water supply is a problem. Maybe there’s just too many people in one place, and the government hasn’t done enough to disincentivize this? How is this the fault of outsiders? India is spending tens of billions of dollars on coal plants, carbon emitting data centers, and lots of other things that will make these problems worse — why doesn’t the NYT hold Modi and his billionaire friends accountable?

I remember Doug Crockford mentioning the idea of scope based highlighting for JavaScript in a workshop years back and thinking it would be useful. Cool to see it pop back up here.

Edit: Here's a scope based js highlighting repo that cites Crockford as the inspiration but unfortunately he posted the linked description on Google+ so... uh... oops

It's not "nothing to do with". You're correct that a monolithic architecture does not imply that a single read query will lock the entire database. But it is a prerequisite.
Eh... cars are really big. A better way of phrasing this is, "if this were true, your wallet/phone would get stolen a lot more often."

But aren't wallet/phone thefts relatively common?

> You're less secure from targeted attacks from people who know you IRL

I'm also not completely certain this is true. If a YubiKey is the only thing securing most people's accounts, I don't need to target you. I can walk into a coffee shop, or locker room, or office and steal as many YubiKeys as I can find.

And then I can check later whether or not any of them are linked to bank accounts. I don't know the stats; are most petty wallet/phone thefts targeted?
I would say that boredom is the opposite side of the coin of creativity. When well balanced it looks like a balanced group of habits that goes from productivity at full strength (because all animals need jobs) to time taken off enjoying mindless entertainment or pointless hobbies to relax (because sometimes work is too much).

I bet when one notices a lack of motivation, it's a lack of motivation in a certain arena, not motivation in general, a lack of motivation to what one think they SHOULD be doing.
I seem to remember this effect being co-opted by teens to turn the tables. Use it as a text notification sound on your phone and you can text back and forth in class without alerting the teacher.
I can't find it but someone from one of the zones in India that is suffering from severe water shortages said just this (what you mentioned).

They said everything from filling in lakes to leaking water pipes and a corrupt local government are more to blame than climate change.

What's interesting is that even private enterprise can't fix this problem since there is probably a water cartel already in place to profit from the situation with the local government officials in on the take.

Why hasn't the local population held their government responsible or is this not possible?
Not really sure how this is relevant here, judging by your post history and username you seem to have a one track mind...

Maybe if you provided some examples of how Nim compares to Python or Racket, weighing the pros and cons, etc, I wouldn't assume you're only here to shill Nim.

Edit: Anyone care to explain why my post is flagged and the parent comment isn't? I would like to keep the discussion on topic...I didn't think I was being too harsh.
Yea I'm not saying it's impossible to devise an unexploitable flop donking strategy. I think the reason thinking players generally don't is because of the complexity of adding significantly more branches early in the game tree - basically going from 3 (check-{fold,call,raise}) to 6 (those 3 plus donk-{fold,call,raise}).
Agreed. Also don't forget the massive contribution advertising has to ecological destruction by creating insatiable consumerism.
that would be fun to see.

One more reason why I am saddened that SupCom is not more popular.

It would be very interesting to see AlphaSC trounce humans at this game.

The far away view that was called "cheating" in the alphaStar exib match ? In this game it is just what high level players use most of the time (the zoom level is free.. from way too close to a continental view)
> How could Google make money in France if there was no french police force, education system, market regulation, court system, contract enforcement?

It's not like they don't already pay taxes. This is an additional tax on top of all the other ones.
A privacy policy is definitely the right place for privacy issues. My point is exactly as vharuc made above: Putting something there neither makes it ethical nor unethical. A contract or license is not an excuse for bad behavior.

* If my privacy policy is a copy of HIPAA, that's an ethical privacy policy.

* If my privacy policy is as Google's here, it seems unethical without clear informed consent (which a disclaimer in a novel-long privacy policy doesn't provide).

* If your privacy policy says you'll collect incriminating information about me, and sell it to the highest bidder for use in blackmail, it's unethical even with attempts at informed consent.
Top pros will endorse whatever they're paid to endorse.
It is almost already the case. However, there is a loophole. To avoid crashing starting businesses, the current tax is on profits, not on revenues. What big internet companies like Google and Apple do is splitting their companies in several entities. One entity is making the revenues. The other is "administrative services". The administrative one, located in a low-tax country, bills (highly) the one that makes the revenues. So the revenues are made in rich european countries, but the profits are made in the low-tax ones. (The example is oversimplified, but you get the idea). This is clearly cheating, but it's legal. Europe didn't manage to close the loophole because of the countries who profit from it. And no single cheated country has yet acted because the US backs this behavior.
Of course it went down during business hours, that's when people are deploying stuff. It's known that services are more stable during the weekends too.
Corollary: Work that prevents outages--or safe work--is SO unsexy it does not get noticed, but work that causes outages is postmortem-ed to death (pun intended).

If one compares the amount of money that most sweepers have made to the time invested in the activity, then probably any minimum-wage job would have been more worthwhile financially.

For the small amount of exceptionally successful sweepers, I still suspect that the time lost, along with the additional burden of tax accounting, makes this a pretty inefficient strategy financially. The exceptional ones are showing effort and strategies that they could have instead applied to traditional business and investment paths with a greater return.
Stagefright is the name of the component, not the exploit. And in most cases, devices from major vendors are going to have patched binaries, even on images as old as Jellybean.
You’re equally assuming plenty. If someone is arrested based on a false positive, they would likely be interrogated by the police. How crazy would it be for that same person to admit to a crime they didn’t do? There are plenty of hypos. My point is that there needs to be strong checks against the use of facial recognition. Citizens should see the algorithm, the training data, and results. The public should test the software rather than a poor criminal defendant.
This is basically the story of wayfair too
There are plenty of global advertisers/propagandists willing to pay Google to manipulate the french people. Claiming someone's eyeballs are owned by a government is silly.
Augmented Reality Can Benefit Seniors Too
That document describes filesystems which are accessed over IPC, not filesystem-as-library like you seem to be describing. In fact, it's the same basic idea as FUSE. One user process (accessing the filesystem) makes an IPC call to another user process (server that implements the filesystem), which necessarily passes through the kernel and performs a context switch in each direction. On the other hand, it's quite possible that Fuschia's IPC is better optimized than FUSE, so it might have better performance in practice.
Someone posted one of these recently. I am looking for a cofounder and don’t find one but still found the thread interesting. I think it would be good for the community.

Well, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy had both. The premise of William Gibson's The Peripheral also seems to be that the development of futuristic technology is not going to stop, it's just going to exacerbate the unequal distribution of resources.
That's a pretty wild assumption. They clearly were willing to pay.

Dumb money has been drying up for years. There have been bots taking millions of dollars out of games for more than a decade. Even bots from 10 years ago were sophisticated enough to win money at mid-stakes poker (up to $2000 buy in 6max no limit games)
So let's say 100 of my options just vested. That means that I can choose to buy these options at any point in the future, and normally the company will buy them back from me immediately.

If I choose to do so, then I will have no risk of a loss, because like you said, if the option is underwater, then I will simply not exercise.

The only reason I may end up having to take risk is due to limits on exercise windows. For example, I have to exercise any vested option within 6 months of leaving the company. In that case, I may want to buy the stock, and hold onto it if I expect it to appreciate. Then I will be taking risk, effectively like buying any other stock that may depreciate.
My friend offered to grill me a hamburger last Saturday when we were hanging out in his backyard, but I politely declined. His burgers look desirable, but I explained my concern that tasting one of his burgers might permanently diminish my appreciation of Big Macs. And besides, I can buy a big mac anywhere in the world except north korea, so really that's a more pragmatic preference.

Well I thought I was being diplomatic, but my friend just shook his head and called me a moron. Can you believe the nerve of some people?

I needed a link to something like this while writing the JavaScript debugging tutorial for Chrome DevTools. I think I initially tried to start the tutorial off with conceptual information like this “How To Debug” article but eventually scrapped it because the conceptual preamble was longer than the tutorial itself.
There's a lot of talk about drought and climate change. But what does the consensus climate science says about droughts? The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that "There is low confidence in attributing changes in drought over global land areas since the mid-20th century to human influence owing to observational uncertainties and difficulties in distinguishing decadal-scale variability in drought from long-term trends." https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2017/09/WG1AR5_Chapt...
How long before the nodejs and npm crowd runs all their JavaScript in this, compiled to wasm, on a real browser... For no real benefit, but a whole load of slowdown...
Maybe at one point. Today it is all borrowed against the future in the form of private debt, a propped up property market, sold off companies, and tax breaks. Of course people accepts taxes when it is primary labour that is highly taxed and they made hundreds of thousands in the property market so they don't feel like they need to work much any more. It is very unlikely that people would accept taxes to properly fund infrastructure, pensions, the military and whatever else these days.

Edit: Maybe this is uncomfortable for people but it is true. If people are so comfortable paying taxes how come the social democrats are the weakest in decades? How come there is no wealth tax, no inheritance tax, no gift tax, no property tax, deduction for debt, low corporate tax, special tax deals for family businesses, some of the highest privates debt in Europe, as well as some of the highest wealth inequality, most rapid privatization and the highest retirement age? The amount of tax money spent on private sector health care has doubled in 10 years. There is a housing shortage pretty much everywhere, for employees and students alike. The Stockholm subway is run by the Chinese. Volvo is Chinese. So is what is left of SAAB, essentially all Swedish cinemas, mobile operator 3 and partly Spotify, the other Volvo, the Stockholm airport train etc. There isn't going to be any Swedish companies left in 30 years. The steel and paper mills, spirits and other traditional companies are increasingly owned by Finnish companies. Oh, and the right wing populist party with an agenda based on discontent are now the second largest in the polls. Soon enough they will gut public service media like in Denmark.

These are not the traits of a well funded state prepared for the future. People just aren't paying attention.

Tezos and IDEO partner on blockchain startup accelerator
A very small and fast javascript interpreter. It will create a small library file for the programs who depends on this and according to the benchmarks it runs faster than the other javascript interpreters.

If you want a very fast javascript engine and dont have problems with binary size, memory constraints and executable memory pages, you can pick a JIT like V8, Chakra or Spidermonkey. As those JITs are pretty advanced optimizing JIT compilers and will run javascript code very fast, much faster than the fastest interpreted VM implementation can.

People who tend to choose this instead of V8 for instance need to run this in a microcontroler for instance, or a OS without executable memory pages (and therefore where JIT´s are forbidden).
Yes, France wants money too. Not unreasonable, considering the companies' activities involve French infrastructure and French citizens.
Undruggable Genome
If you look at the application and network stack from top to bottom, the implementation of a read-only operation (to get something from the device) is rife with mutations of memory and machine state. Everything from receiving the datagram in the driver, to passing it through the higher layers, to forming the response. Network stacks have been attacked at the data link or network layer with maliciously crafted packets.
It may be worth bearing in mind that historically, this often meant updates not going out at all.
Yeah, I got the same error, along with a bunch of warnings earlier in the build about how 32-bit builds are deprecated on recent macOS versions. And then when it goes to link, it can't find the 32-bit symbols for functions like sqrt() and `printf()`.

Hacky workaround: comment out the "CONFIG_M32=y" line in the makefile. This will disable building the 32-bit versions of some tools. ("Edit the makefile" is, according to the docs, the canonical way to customize your build settings.)

And I don't think there's any real shortcut for dealing with compiler error messages. You've just got to learn what they mean and what sort of thing tends to cause them.
Here's a slide deck from the same authors: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/1...

I think MIT people had their reasons for "rethinking" and trying out Java, and then Python. One of the factors I recall was a perceived changing nature of CS practice (moving to assembling from components, rather than understanding&building from the ground up), but I can't properly represent all of the rationales here.

Fortunately, the MIT SICP authors made the book freely available, so anyone can continue to work through it, as a complement to our other learning opportunities.

And Racket's `#lang` support is helping to keep the particular Scheme dialect and library used by MIT SICP running on all the currently popular desktops (Unixes, Macs, and Windows): https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/sicp

This is unequivocally false. A 3% increase could make their costs higher than revenue. They would increase their prices or go out of business.

> What functionality can be left out of Hermes as compared to JSC/V8 in order to shrink its sie?

At the moment Hermes isn't compatible with ES6 (it's missing a lot of stuff). Perhaps, since part of the build step for RN anyway is transpiling, they don't need to provide all of ECMA's features. ES5 is more simple, less complex so I wonder if some performance can be had there.

But since they are building an engine strictly for making native apps using JS, there may be shortcuts or other stuff they can drop that JSC/V8 normally have to worry about but that's just speculation.

I'd love to see more info addressing your questions!
Rule one of having a useful intern experience is to get them writing production code as quickly as possible. They check in their first change? Get that thing into production immediately.

I would love to get a hands on the source. Hook it up to an API like https://pokr.live and then basically build a computer vision poker bot.
