It would also be unusual for either Jobs or Perot personally, and would probably be unusual in the context of an investor/executive professional relationship as well, though one never knows for sure.
4) Instagram Stories are changing users’ behavior.

I don’t have any data to support this claim, but I’ve seen people posting more stories than regular posts, my wife usually closes the app after she’s done watching her latest stories.
So, maybe likes are losing importance in instagram?
While everyone haggles about the internals I have an interesting anecdote about the costs of tools libraries.

A small service that landed in my lap needed to read(only) a data source that was roughly 10k lines of yaml. No way that was going to be in any way efficient so I asked for suggestions. All the work-a-day devs(I am not) instantly said the same thing without a single real thought about it: Make it a database duh!

Long story slightly less long, Loading up the libraries to interface with a database ate between 2 and 3 times the memory(depending on the DB and lib) that simply loading the entire 10k line yml ate and offered slower performance and required more code.

SQLite was pretty darn close but in the interest of saving developers from themselves vis a vis parameterized queries, or the need to queries all together for that matter, increased the required code for zero benefit.

The service still hums along with a 10k line yaml in memory. "Worse is better" indeed.
I'd love this for a non-Mac laptop, as well.
The "Interpretability" part is really just philosophy.

That is a valid point, but also those products are available just about everywhere. Most ads I see on Instagram are some sort of subscription box-a-month club, or some fly by night t-shirt/hat company.
Having a currency is not the definition of a central bank. Central banks are public institutions with responsibilities within a government. Casinos that issue their own chips are not central banks.
I think what it is, is that the FCC stalled the full vote, on the basis of the clause?

>Pai's proposal said the FCC doesn't need to fully understand San Francisco's law in order to preempt it.

This particularly seems like a really weird claim, and an attempt to set some kind of precedence

I'm specifically confused because I don't actually understand what powers preemption grants the FCC, but the whole story feels like a power play whose details I can't elucidate. If its not a power play, then it reads like a bunch of nonsensical behavior, which is doubtful
Of course, anyone can use netcat to send any kind of request.

However, this attack is most useful if you can get the victim's browser to send the request for you, because that way, you can get it to include the victim's authentication cookies.

If you as the attacker send the request yourself, you don't have the cookies.

If you make the victim's browser send it, you either can't make them use a nefarious browser, or you already won since you have code execution on the victim's machine.
I would fly on one. However since I fly mostly on delta its not likely that I will send up doing so.
This is not true.

Oddely, the issue was updated today after months of inactivity. Maybe they became aware of their part of responsibility in what happened to Zoom?
Maybe they should stop hiring off-shore engineers and pay them basically nothing.
I think you're mistaken. There are many other independent sources that talk about its action as an abrasive. You may be the one spreading confusion.

Here's one of many. This one is from the National Pesticide Information Center which operates out of Oregon State University in partnership with the EPA (OSU has a large focus on agricultural research.)

> Drive for profit should naturally increase safety

If an executive can eke out a bonus from cutting corners, they will do so. It's long-term vs. short-term profit mindset. An executive may not care about the long-term profit of a company if they can make a quick dollar today and vanish tomorrow.

> The Saudis didn’t cancel their Boeing 737 max order because they valued safety over profits.

Yes, obviously people will stop flying on the 737 Max today. But that didn't stop the CEO of Boeing from forcing unsafe modifications on the 737 in a desperate gamble to compete with Airbus. The fact that we're discussing this today shows that your statement about "drive for profit naturally increases safety" to be false. The 737 Max wouldn't exist.

Another example of this is VW and the emissions scandal.

Customers, likewise, do not always do what is in their best interest. The 2008 mortgage crisis happened because customers were taking out loans they had no business taking out. And on the other end of the table, banks didn't care about risk because the risk was abstracted away from them. It was someone else's problem. Which ultimately became the government and taxpayer's problem.

> In fact I’d argue we are even willing (collectively) pay massive amounts even for the false appearance of safety, i.e Homeland Security in the United States, even in the absence of concrete evidence that it actually makes us safer.

Propaganda certainly works. Anti-vaxxers are a thing now. Which just proves that safety is a two-way street. Millions of people still smoke. The number of people texting and driving is so high that we have to have advertising on TV telling people constantly to stop it. Motorcyclists still refuse to wear helmets. If it weren't law, great numbers of people would still ride in cars without seat belts. And yes, they would buy cars without airbags if they were allowed to and it were cheaper than models with airbags.
Really excited about this, I miss the days of static server-side logs!

Pricing is a bit high for my super-low-traffic hobby sites, unfortunately. But I'm glad they're doing this!
>It's too easy to bring the power and authority of government down with unintended consequences on disadvantaged people. Think abuse of eminent domain or similar.

True, but for the past century so much power has been centralized at the state and federal level I think the abuse potential at the local level is very low. The "actually affect change" potential of your average citizen is highest at the local level. If experimentation and competition is going to happen I think the local level is best.

Of course from time to time you get dumb crap like Sac country's working on your car ban but the number of people effected is kept minimal while everyone else gets to point and laugh and learn what not to do. It's a much bigger pain when that kind of stuff happens at the state or federal level.
Research suggests strongly that this armchair analysis is wrong [1].

I personally don't advocate for completely eliminating meat from our diets, but it's pretty naive to outright deny the environmental impact (including greenhouse gas emission) of meat production.

I wasn't aware that Netflix was strategically aiming for 2 seasons show now. I kinda like that. I might like 3 better. But so many shows in the past have driven forward until they were unwatchable and cancelled. And with a timebox of 2 seasons, the writers can know exactly how big their story arc is, and can wrap everything up cleanly.

As far as the impact on Hollywood that this all has... I'm not trying to be rude, but I am having a hard time caring. Actors still have jobs, as do the tech crews. We still get entertainment. Aside from wanting to maintain the status quo, which HN usually isn't concerned with... why does it matter?
> If there has to be base + offset translation on every pointer access it is way too slow.

It's time to update your intuition: memory access is usually slow, much slower than simple arithmetic.
If they're civilian planes, what's the problem?
You are misleading people with this comment.

AlphaStar APM spiked to ridiculous inhuman levels during stalkers micro. On top of that, it controlled units that were screens apart at the same time, which is not supposed to happen.

DeepMind's refusal to aknowledge it, on top of the sketchy
and misleading TLO chart didn't do them any favor.
Actually they can do better than just a custom header with an XSRF token, which is fairly standard nowadays for requests that are authenticated via Session Cookies (Django for example strongly enforces this by default.)
Compare Netflix’s library to Disney’s, especially with the Fox acquisition. Which library would you rather have going into the next decade?
This is a very different kind of problem than the ones you listed. One drop of blood is going to be very similar to any other in and individual. That's not true when it comes to language data (or many other types of data for that matter). The data you would record in a prepared setting (i.e. reading from some predefined set of phrases) is typically not even close to representing the full distribution of phrases/dialogues that human's use.

Furthermore, Google/Amazon/FB do use representative sampling of real user data, it's not feasible to transcribe every interaction with Google Home/Alexa/Siri. This akin to what you're suggesting but it no way addresses the privacy concerns. The only real way to do that is to use authorized data or scripted interactions, which, as described above, are not actually representative samples. It is complicated and nuanced problem.
"Hollywood" has never, ever taken more risks than they are taking today.

Netflix alone spent $12 billion on new content in 2018. They expect to spend $15 billion in 2019, and expect this to hit almost $18 billion in 2020.[1] There is more new, original content being produced than anyone could ever expect to watch in one lifetime. Compare this to a few decades ago when you had 3 or 4 networks on TV each making a dozen or so shows each year, and a handful of studios producing movies (many of them remakes from the 30s, 40s, and 50s).

Everyone seems to view "Hollywood" with rose colored glasses. The medium through which people consume entertainment certainly seems like it is starting to change, but that doesn't mean "Hollywood" is dead or dying. The exact opposite is happening.

Any chance you've written about specifically trying to foresee and prevent a split (Rusty? Rusted?) ecosystem? As an armchair PL, amateur SIGPLAN kind of person, I would be very interested to hear about your experiences. I couldn't find anything after a cursory search, though I did see a couple of posts where you briefly but explicitly mention your choices.
Not a good example of personalized learning.
This is more of a hyper-virtualized school system. I'd say ot's obviously bad for children to be so immersed in technology and not get the necessary personal interaction people need to thrive.

Personalized learning is perhaps best observed in a homeschool-like environment.
I did most of my life (grew up in the Netherlands and never owned a car till I moved to the US). I started car commuting a while ago when I had a 15 Mile commute (one way) with a minor mountain range in between. Now I discovered the joy of e-biking and am riding again.

Show HN: Hacker News Title Edit Tracker
Maybe I read a little fast, but why only mention "MacBooks"? Wouldn't this system work for any laptop?
So you're looking at the display and instantly you know what the value was last year, and how the seasonal variability affect whatever you see on the display?

Whatever you're reading on your co2 sensor, thermometer, or any other sensor device RIGHT NOW is only indication of what's happening right now, in your location. That's not a global trend, not even a local trend. And having the sensor installed in incorrect place can mean that the data is worth less.
Huh. I dunno about that, but I have definitely seen the coastal forests exhaling clouds up in N. California. FWIW.
I built this several months ago as I was interested to see how the titles of posts evolve/change on HN. It turns out lots of titles are edited every day, for both better or worse, and it can be handy to see what a title used to be.
On my smartphone I can at least turn off the apps that would automatically listen for voice commands; I can use the phone just fine without them. And if I thought there was enough of a threat that Google or someone else was listening in using my phone's microphone without my knowledge, even with the apps turned off, I would switch to a rooted phone that would give me more control.

For the Echo/Google Home/etc. devices, I don't have any of the above options, so I simply don't buy them and don't use them.
To be fair, I work in the NGO space and MSF do outstanding work. Of all NGOs they do some of the hardest (Ebola, Syria etc) work out there. One of the few I happily give money to.
thank you. I should add that my role includes zero coding/dev and my workgroup does our work without the benefit of APIs and apps. My apps greatly improve the quality of service the group can provide.
They do, but that doesn't mean the decision is wise. The point is you are creating more bugs than you could ever possible fix in this kind of refactor.
I understand your point, but the language is evolving to be more powerful and expressive. There were certain rules in the past, and there are some new rules in C++11 and beyond.

With regard to your example, that's why you need to use universal references like "for (auto&& x : container)" [1]. It's just a new way of doing things, but it's hardly ambiguous.

Theres actually research around this, the average daily time spent hunting and foraging (working) in order to survive and the daily time we spend now working in order to survive, also the daily time people spent 1000 years ago. The conclusion was something like people today actually spend more hours working than in hunting and foraging times

Wouldn't fly on anything Chinese, but I adore flying on Bombardier Dash 8/Q series planes. Something magic about turboprops. Always loved flying on C-130s (20+ flights) when I was in the military, too. My other favorite was the venerable old C-141.
So you can breathe easily if you can afford bubbler supplies, hmm. Not sure the global economy is surviving 4k ppm unscathed though. Not entirely convinced "the economy" will mean anything at all any more. :)

End of our civilisation. End of us as an industrial society. Perhaps as relevant and historic as the Romans or Ancient Egyptians. I'd prefer to stop long, long before that.

Who knows all the knock on effects of 4,000ppm, I certainly don't except to say it's way beyond the worse case models I've seen. End of much productive work outside. Reduced performance for all. Probably much of the equatorial and tropical simply uninhabitable. We'd be looking at what, 7, 10, 12 degrees? I have no idea. Heaven knows how many reinforcing tipping points will kick in. I don't think we can confidently say it won't result in actual extinction. Even if it probably won't.

We'd lose both ice caps, so something like 60 odd metres of sea level. How many major cities and entire countries does that lose? I've seen maps that at just 4C much of the USA's farm land would be near desert, and the Sahara greening. Unprecedented temperature, habitat and rainfall changes with no idea which species will make it, and which not, maybe many we depend on to eat. How much forced and unwelcome migration? Which prediction is the accurate one? With that energy in the system are we looking at cat 10 super-hurricanes?

Does it matter if it's 0%, 1 or 2%, or even 10% are grubbing out a post-apocalypse zero growth life or whether it's Mad Max, 18th C or bronze age? Unrecognisable. Unpredictable. Survivors would tell fables that their ancestors did it. Knowingly. Maybe some other species gets its chance and does a less idiotic job.

I don't think the difference matters. At all.
But that's almost a harder decision - you can certainly buy a bland colored skin to put stickers on, but if you're going to the effort of skinning your laptop, why not pick an interesting skin?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone on HN has ever set up a subsidiary or branch office in India?
We are looking to open a small office(5-10 people) to help with scaling our product.
We have had great experiences with Indian developers(contractors) in the past and are keen to set up an office and have our own dedicated team.
Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

IRS: Taxpayer Roadmap 2019 [pdf]
Ownership of the account is determined by possession of the private key. Only the one with the key can spend from the account.

In Bitcoin the way to implement this would be by transferring any funds in the account first to a time-locked escrow account and then to a new account for which the challenger possesses the key. It's doable but probably not worthwhile; IMHO the effort would be better spent on ensuring that you don't lose the key in the first place.
This is what impressed me the most about the book, and why I’m so confused as to how this can be the main criticism of it that I see.

I’d like to see a speculation stated as fact, but have yet to see a satisfactory example.

Seems like a big miss on their part. I love Netlify and I use them for my personal site. When I got their newsletter email announcing this, the first thought that entered my head was: "Finally! I can take Google Analytics off my site. About time a serious contender took on GA."

Unfortunately this costs $108/year more than GA. And while there are a couple of GA alternatives out there, having the financial backing of someone like Netlify makes a big difference. I don't want to think about analytics, I just want to know roughly how much traffic my site is getting, not having to worry about an open source project dying in the next year and having to find yet another replacement.

This is my high level overview of CORS.

1. The website JS is served from a domain say "website.co" to the browser when you visit it.

2. If this JS tries to make a XHR to a domain that is NOT "website.co"(not the origin of JS) the browser first sends a preflight request (OPTIONS) asking for "guidance" from this second domain.

3. The Web Server on second domain responds with "a request" to block/allow XHR calls from JS served from certain domains.

4. The browser chooses (by default) to not make the GET/POST call if the JS domain(website.co/*) is not in "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header.

There are other nuances but that is it really. Things to note

1. The browser enforces CORS. Not the web server. You can disable this enforcement with a flag in both Chrome and FireFox.

2. Since only browsers enforce CORS, other tools(cURL, PostMan) will successfully make GET POST request regardless CORS config on the webserver.

3. If you could intercept (using a proxy) and change headers in response to preflight request you can bypass CORS on browsers.
3.

There is a brand that makes screen (or body) protectors for phones, tablets and laptops. I have used their phone protectors and have always been happy.

Brood War is much more dependent on micro than Starcraft 2. Sean "Day[9]" Plott has mentioned this a lot in his videos. You can only select 12 units at a time and cannot select more than one building in Brood War. And there is a bit of latency in Brood War that doesn't exist in SC2.

You would think so but lists are incredibly hard to keep in sync and up to date. Also over time, the list rules pyle up to where it's hard to get new members added and who will make the rules. These are just some of the issues. Whitelists work for small groups that will not grow but when applied to large dynamic groups it's a nightmare.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Upon closer inspection it was indeed perceived as contrary to what was expected from the StarCraft community. (And rightfully so)
Why does Microsoft use onmicrosoft.com and microsoftonline.com?
In 2019, it seems a given that a cautious user on the internet should be careful about which domains they connect to. Paying close attention to domains, Microsoft users will quickly see that the company doesn't always use microsoft.com - even for high profile endpoints. For example:

* Office 365 services use this endpoint for user login: https://login.microsoftonline.com

* Email: onmicrosoft.com

Can anyone explain the business, user, and technical implications involved in choosing a new domain (microsoftonline.com) over a subdomain of the business's core domain (online.microsoft.com)?
That’s to counteract for 100% of emissions, right? A more reasonable goal would be to go for 10%. Still very ambitious, but could be done and would have a pretty huge impact. Combine that carbon pricing, technological advancements, and other sequestration schemes, and targets for avoiding environmental catastrophe seem achievable.
