So any office you work in must be kept at 70F or below for your comfort, and your colleagues must wear sweaters?

Could there be a heath and fitness change you could make so the rest of the world wouldn’t have to suffer in cold offices? Working perpetually cold is miserable, and extra layers is only a partial solution.

Also, no matter how efficient modern air conditioning is relative to older systems, it’s still a financial expense that should be measured and minimized where possible.

I have built a software that is like a 3D photoshop.
It takes 30 photos and in a few hours it generates the virtual visit with a simple url.

Marx had it as "das Opium des Volkes"; so the "opium" translation is justifiable.
Satellites are just part of the GNSS system. There are multiple control centers and network of sensor , uplink, telemetry, tracking and control stations around the world.

The problem is most likely on the ground. When GNSS satellites are not getting updated data from the ground stations their accuracy starts to degrade.

Ask HN: Rust or Go for building an order execution engine in crypto?
My company is building an order executor in crypto optimized for high through put into several exchanges.

It is the reason I'm slowly moving away from Linux. I've learned Linux, for years I've invested time and money learning everything I could. And it was fun. I even built LFS many times. I know how NOT to break it and how to fix it. And as we have seen with GNOME3, systemd, Wayland etc. RH will deliver and every major distribution will eventually adopt immutable directories and statically linked applications. So, my conclusion after all this years learning and having fun with Linux is that it was a waste of time. I understand the propaganda: it's good for everyone (who don't like dealing with Linux, the OS). And I understand the real reason: distribution developers don't like the tedious work that is compiling, linking and packaging the same software over and over again. But the feeling that I wasted my time. If it's to use a immutable, bloated, reboot-all-the-time OS, I just use any other OS
> It did not involve sharing how those abilities were created.

Same approach could be used for cooperative Moon flights.

In fact, after Apollo-Soyuz we've had Shuttle-Mir and then ISS, and there are plenty of cooperation and cross-studying in those projects. From some point of view, technologies on both sides of Atlantic were similar - there were exceptions, of course, but for professionals working on projects for years the inevitable knowledge osmosis tells a lot.

In another sensitive area, achievements in thermonuclear studies, cooperation did happen.
Watched an interesting Ken Burns documentary on Prohibition the other day. At the time of banning alcohol it was blamed for all kinds of complex social issues, from the breakdown of the family to the loss of moral rectitude. Really, though, it was just a very visible scapegoat for things like changing economic structures (industrial revolution) and social structures (immigration).

To whit, my take is that the smartphone is the new opiate of the masses only to the extent to which it (and social media) are the newest things we like to blame for far more complex social problems.

Prediction: banning smartphones won't stop kids from being depressed, nor will regulating Facebook fix extreme nationalism.
I am not sure if we read the same article.

There are plenty of sources on the subject[1]:

> The take from this is that they can potentially track photos outside of their own platform with a disturbing level of precision about who originally uploaded the photo (and much more).

While i do sympathise with illegal immigrants, i think there should be more focus and care for legal immigrants. How about allowing legal skilled workers enter the us without being at the mercy of employers, and without the need to invest 1 mil $, win a noble prize or marry - as all other sane developed countries do?

This way illegal immigrants would have an incentive to invest in their own or their children’s education, knowing that one day they too can achieve the american dream.
You're assuming improvements in efficiency will necessarily lead to a decrease in cost.

I feel like the people who are complaining that he stole aren't really getting it.

Sure, he stole - and that's a bad thing because he took something that someone else worked hard to get. That's unfair.

On the other hand, there's no real way to "really" drop out of society. If you deal with money at all you have to pay taxes, live in a house. Even as a wood cutter in the Alaskan wilderness or some such you still have to own and pay for a truck. Being homeless is a hugely social thing as you have to live in a city and beg - and everyone hates you. Even as a pure hunter there's not enough natural wilderness to support that, and you can't exactly hunt on land you don't own.

So yeah, the people he stole from didn't agree to have their things taken. He (and I for that matter) didn't really agree to this whole society thing either.

The first confusing thing is the type signatures. Concatenative languages pass everything around with a stack so here the double dash separates a top part of the stack before application from what the application of the word transforms that bit of the stack into, so:

succ : Nat -- Nat

means that if you can prove there is a Nat, n on the top of the stack, you can do succ to replace that with a Nat, succ n. Similarly we have:

+ : Nat Nat -- Nat

Which says if you have two Nats on the top of the stack you can do + to get a single Nat.

The next weird thing is pattern matching. + is defined with two cases. The first is:

zero + = id

Which makes some sense: to add zero to x, do nothing. Making up a variable syntax it would look like:

<x> zero + = <x>

The pattern matching on the next line is harder:

succ + = + succ

Which (making up syntax again) says that if your stack looks like:

m n

And n = succ k:

m (succ k)

And you do +, you “unapply” succ to get a “stack” that looks like:

m k succ

With the application of + shown:

m k succ +

And this matches the pattern above so we transform:

m k + succ

And evaluate:

(m+k) succ
(m+k+1)
(m+n)

I think this is a rough idea of how the basic types work:

Denote a “stack” of types (e.g. Nat Nat above) as [a], and single types a.
If e : [a] -- [b] then for any [c], e : [c] [a] -- [c] [b]
If dashes are omitted from a type a, it is the same as the type -- a (ie [b] -- [b] a for any [b])
If e : [a] -- [b] and f : [b] -- [c] then e f : [a] -- [c]

To define a word w : [a] -- [b], e w = f is a valid clause if:
1. e has type [c] -- [a]
2. f has type [c] -- [b]
3. e is a valid pattern (ie made out of constructors (?))

I guess the rest of the typing rules are more complicated.
It was 'opium' in the original German, but that means both opium and opiate when it's translated in to English. If you read the full quote[1] it's fairly obvious Marx meant opium in the sense of the drug derived from poppies that was commonly used in his era rather than the whole class of drugs in the more modern sense.

> No they don’t.

On the contrary, I developed early merchant and payment gateway tech, and they absolutely do. The scenario you describe is extraordinarily rare, which allows an arbitrage between CAP perfection and customer satisfaction.

On a separate note, at any given time, some parts of our national payments ecosystem are “down”. There are enough players involved you have an appearance of resilience.

You can see this in a mall, when one store’s card swipe terminals are down, and another’s are not, and almost never happens that all the stores are down at the same time.

You can think of all these other players as an incidental circuit breaker pattern upstream of Visa.

VisaNet itself is surprisingly unscaled, capable of only about 24,000 transactions per second. Twenty years ago, our gateway would hit 15,000 transactions per second real world use. To do that, we scattered/gathered across many independent paths into card networks and various merchant banks.

Up here the yearly sunshine is pretty good, close to Germany or so. The problem is that almost all of it comes during the summer. In the winter months when demand peaks, solar produces practically nothing. So without seasonal storage becoming economical, it's not a solution to decarbonizing.

Closer to the equator where seasonal variation is less and demand is driven more by air conditioning than heating solar is an excellent choice.

No, it's not:

* The fine, an FTC record-breaker, is equivalent to the cost of simultaneous acquisitions of multiple high-profile startups.

* A mid-single-digits repetition of this fine would deplete Facebook's cash reserves entirely.

* The fine covers specific conduct committed by Facebook (violations of their previous consent decree) that almost certainly netted the company multiple orders of magnitude less money than the fine cost them.

* The fine was anticipated long before it was announced and has been priced into Facebook's stock; we can't look at the spot price now and know what it would have been without the fine factored in, because that's not how stock prices work.

The purpose of the fine wasn't to punish Facebook for being Facebook; much as I might want that to happen, FTC doesn't have the authority to do that, nor should it, since it's an unelected administrative apparatus without lawmaking power. The point is to deter future violations of this and similar consent decrees at Facebook and other companies (Facebook being the largest of that cohort of companies). It surely accomplished that: whatever money Facebook made off of Cambridge Analytica and similar enterprises is surely dwarfed by the $5B fine, since chicanery like that isn't Facebook's core business.

In the US, when a wealthy person parks in front of a fire hydrant, we don't give them a $100,000 parking ticket; the fine is scaled to the offense, not the offender.

Religion is often used as an analogy to disparage some other phenomenon. Surprisingly perhaps, this is done by both religious and non-religious people. I guess for the non-religious people religion is in general mistrusted, while for religious people it is bad to treat anything beside "true" religion as a religion. So "being like a religion" is generally a bad thing regardless of who uses the phrase.

But using an analogy require you understand the phenomenon you are comparing it to. So what does religion mean? In this article, religion is about

- "a transcendental realm" (and so is youtube)

- meeting in congregations (and so is Google meetup)

- a hierarchy with devoted spiritual advisors at the top (and so is, apparently Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg)

But without even going into what the nature of religion is, it is easy to dispel this analogy. Because even in a highly religious society you can have non-religious organizations, meetups and "transcendental realms" in the form of fiction, music, art etc. So there is clearly a difference. Unless you are going to argue that everything is religion - which you can, of course, given a vague enough definition, but which also makes the term meaningless. If everything is religion then nothing is religion.

How is the type handling?

Everything is converted to JSON over the API, so it's all just text and numbers.
They absolutely do, it is called "stand-in processing". I saw this while working in ATM at a major bank. The terminal operator (e.g. in our case, the ATM authorization system) can stand-in for the payment network when required. There are per-card number transaction limits that are well-defined in their contracts, and fraud liability can shift during this period of time. The payment network can also stand in for the issuer. In either case, once the network is restored all the authorization advices are forwarded.
I'm in the same boat as the person you're replying to. I have a really hard time in temperatures above 23-25C (sometimes slightly higher if it's really dry) and I really wouldn't want to work in such an environment. I sweat extremely easily in the heat, even idle, which is deeply uncomfortable.

I'm noting how incredibly rude your reply is; implying that there's a fitness issue causing the condition (at least in my case, there is not), and implying that GP wants to impose "their rule" on people who won't like it.

I work at home, FWIW, and my girlfriend doesn't like heat either. It's a good arrangement. You didn't get the chance to make assumptions about me, but please don't make assumptions about GP either.

I've worked a lot fewer jobs that really did care about me, but I have been there and seen them.

Let’s do a thought experiment. Let’s say over lunch that you told your boss at one of those companies “that really did care” about you that you just bought a house and that you and your spouse are expecting a child. Then the next week that because of a strategic shift/missed earnings/acquisition where the acquirer wanted to find “synergies” they decided they were going to let you go. What do you think is going to happen?
I have an addiction and I can't help myself. I think the strangest thing about Tom Clancy is his politics. He clearly wants an egalitarian meritocracy, a laudable goal imo, then suddenly he's talking about the importance of gender roles or how government handouts are bad. I think his early books are better simply because they seem to be much better researched.
If you want to try (and I would recommend trying, since even this early version of the program is an amazing design, with much to learn from), please be aware of the following:

1) The source code is incomplete; you will need the original EA IFF 1986 (March) files to fill in the gaps. You will also need to find a replacement for the LFMULT() function.

2) The paths to the header files will need editing.

3) The original program was built using the Lattice 'C' compiler, and it uses a couple of library functions which are specific to that compiler, such as stscmp(), stcu_d(), setmem() and movmem() for which you will need to provide replacements.

4) You may want to replace the BootIT() function with a stub, which originally seems to have been part of the disk copy protection scheme.

This should get you started. Once you get the program running, watch out how you use it:

As was common in these days, string buffers are rather short (e.g. 20 characters for a file or drawer name, 30 characters for font names) and the code is oblivious to this limitation, easily leading to buffer overflows and crashes.

Also, the hardware acceleration which Deluxe Paint uses is not properly secured by calling OwnBlit()/WaitBlit()/DisownBlit() in the proper sequence at all times (some are correct, some are not, and the code shows that the developers struggled with mitigating the ugly side-effects of not getting it right). This will cause the image processing functions to glitch and corrupt memory. Apparently, this happened only rarely in 1986 because the Amiga system was "slow enough" so that writing to the Blitter registers while it was still running didn't always lead to things going awry.
I would say the media is just as culpable here given how much influence they have on public opinion in America (and I would garner that's where most politicians get their information.) FB directly competes with most media publications for attention and content so they have a direct profit motive to target FB. The ironic part is that all the reporting is done under the guise of protecting or informing public privacy, but media publications continue to be amongst the worst offenders when it comes to user tracking and privacy violations. Of course, they'll never report on how they sell out your address, email, phone number, political views, etc. if you subscribe to their magazine because heaven forbid they hold themselves to some higher standard.
