You sound like the typical "science guy" who thinks he is the smartest person on earth because: PhD.

Of course all others are "below you" but you know what?

THIS is your blind spot (let this be told to you by people who understand humans much better than you ever will). In science I've seen a lot guys who think like this and the most of them struggle hard to organize their own life.

If you'd be less arrogant you'd see how interesting and fun live can be and how people you now consider "waste of oxygen" might surprise you again and again with their skills and points of view.

I deeply wish that you can overcome this and be happy in your life some day.
Have been watching a show called "Alone" on History channel which is a survival reality-TV thing where they drop off 10 candidates in nature and whoever can hold out the longest wins the game. The first and second season were set on Vancouver island. For some reason have always pictured BC as a cold place very similar to where I'm from in (just on a bigger scale). The show really gives an amazing look into Vancouver Island and how the wet climate creates a very unique habitat with thick moss and lichen covering trees, bears and wood so thick you can't penetrate it on foot. Very different to what I imagine when when hearing the word ""rain forest.
> I can´t even begin to describe to you what type of regulatory hurdles and red-tape I was faced with when trying to get that up and running.

I can imagine how harder it is than in the USA. From the article: "The combination of lax regulations and customers not paying attention to the fine print of their box-leasing agreements allows many banks to deflect responsibility when valuables are damaged or go missing."

Consumer protection is usually is a hassle for business. But, it is needed if you expect companies to behave even close to what is the public expectation. I understand that for business the lax regulation in the USA and the complete lack of rights of consumers make easier to get profits, even if it's at the cost of your own customers.

> I have now come to understand now that it is something completely different ... I would be surprised if our economy even survives another decade without some serious restructuring.

These are very strong statements at the same time that quite vague. Did I miss something? Can you explain what do you mean?
What part of VPC networking is challenging to you? I'm genuinely interested, because I find the basics of internet (IP) routing and addressing to be very straightforward. Not trivial, certainly, but it's not black magic, and I don't think VPCs require anything esoteric.

It all essentially boils down to some basic operations with binary numbers; the decimal repsresentations of IP addresses are useful shortcuts, but to really get a sense of what's happening, you need to look at the binary forms.
Have you tested that hypothesis? In my experience, the real annoyance comes from people that are very persistent and aren't easily deterred by requiring a small effort. Captchas slow them down (by the time they need to solve the captcha), but they'll also slow down everyone else.

Adding effort so you have to really want to comment may be a good idea to reduce the amount of comment, but it might also deprive you of valuable comments because people don't care that much about sharing some information that they'll jump through hoops to do it.
I enjoyed reading the article.

> In the end, happiness is a side effect of living well

I find that I get that side effect from any physical activity including but not limited to walking, cycling, running, or swimming.
I keep reading mixed reviews about intermittent fasting. One study says it lowers the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus, because your blood sugar level is pretty low during the fast. The next study says this actually increases the risk, because your blood sugar spikes when you break the fast. This quickly becomes confusing.
The issue I'm talking about is whether the voter is the person whose information is being used. I cannot see how this can be checked without individual verification, either before with ID, or after with confirmations. How would the voter registration data tell you this?

As for the claim, I believe the issue is that without the above checks, there's no possible way to know if that fraud is being committed in the first place, especially with at least 40% of the population abstaining. You're saying the measurement shows that it's rare while I'm asking how the measurement is even possible for this type of fraud. Is that the fundamental disagreement we have? If so then I guess this thread has run its course, but I do wish there was a way to agree.
Published hashes can prevent people from entering fake data at a later time though, which is quite interesting. (It has nothing to do with blockchain though.)
AnonChat- Anonymous Chatrooms with Shareable Links
No, as the parent mentioned, it says "Ad". As this is so short, I also find it easy to miss this

It's clear Google removed the previously obvious demarcation between ads and results specifically to make it less obvious.

I'd prefer a different background colour (like the parent's extension), but it would also help a bit if it said "Advertisement" instead of "Ad".
Yes, there's basically no integrity. Only the appearance of it. A company isn't this way or that way they just do whatever is most promising in that moment.
They should learn to do the job correctly and look at the server logs too.
I don’t think anyone buying a MacBook even knows about this or is calling it a revolution.

The OP is the first I’ve heard make a big deal about this and the follow up comment is basically saying that he’s overstating the relevance to some ARM migration. I wouldn’t take random Internet comments too seriously.
Matt Levine covered this a few days ago.

I am building an application for finding credible businesses and individuals who have little or no formal credit history. Since it involves access to sensitive financial information, I want to remain up-to-date with the new computing platform that blockchain is. We are the cusp of a tech-tonic shift as computers and softwares were in 70s,80s,90s and so on.
I’m surprised it helps at all. Why wouldn’t a robocaller generate a new random number every time?
They don't need to force anything: Apple will simply release the hardware and make it straightforward for developers to build fat binaries. And why wouldn't developers eagerly comply?

— The vast majority of programs will probably recompile with no changes.

— Many developers who will need to make ARM-specific optimisations will have already done that work for iOS releases. Ditto for graphics optimisations for Apple's custom graphics cores.

— For the remaining developers, the skill of optimising for Apple's ARM CPU and GPU is already mature in the marketplace.

— Most apps which don't fall under the aforementioned categories are probably high performance apps that won't be important for buyers of the smaller iMac and MacBook Air.

For a platform with a history of smooth transitions, this would be the easiest "transition" in Apple's history.
I don't mean this at all in a morbid way, but I've long suspected that our lifetimes are slightly too long for our current environment.

If you're a smart autodidact, you can get really far, really fast, to the point where most remaining challenges, especially in a similar field, feel isomorphic to ones you've previously solved.

If you like drawing, and it feels new, and you have enough money to support yourself...go for it! Don't feel guilty; you may well have exhausted most of what programming has to offer you personally.
At my supermarket they sample people going through self-checkout. So people dont shoplift, the chance of beign caught is high.
Advertising exists to increase consumption, because capitalism requires constant growth. On order for it to sustain itself, we need to buy more and more, consume more and more.

When a company can produce a product that is somehow too high quality to be a viable business model, you know we're living in a weird society. Capitalism requires that stuff breaks and is replaced regularly.

And advertising helps manipulate us to desire new things constantly.
I've been doing some work in Dart/Flutter recently and I'm finding it to be a nice mix of Java/JavaScript/TypeScript/Golang. It has generics which work pretty well, although I've already found a very small bug in it [1].

Initial reading of this document makes me feel it is really over complicated compared with Dart.

Frankly I’m surprised no one hasn’t built an external core/ram expansion docking station yet.

With OS support for Numa and a broker to schedule tasks on Big/Little cores all the pieces are there.

My guess is the halo effect around the cloud that put these devices back into the drawers; when you can sync files across two conventional independent devices, risk aversion wins.

But people might become aware and weary of routing everything through Facebook/Google so the value of cloudless mobility might tip the scale.

Plus, if AR/VR ever takes off, the hardware for high bandwidth wired or not PAN will become available
> The twitter thread did say the firmware payload contained no personalization (like encryption keys, perhaps).

To be clear, this just means that the firmware isn't tied to a specific device via the normal ECID/nonce pair like a normal iOS update is.
Now McDonalds is a company which clearly is introducing self checkout to raise their margins, but I don't see any hand wringing about it on this thread.
> One particularly useful property, especially in the education sector, is that dyslexics typically find it decidedly easier to read.

If GraphQL advocates (and dare I say consultants) are suggesting you build every single part of your business off of GraphQL then yes that seems absurd. That’s not really how I’ve seen it used though.

I've no idea about how cravings work in general, but when I have a craving for two pizzas it's absolutely nothing to do with nutrients. I think you're probably correct for some subset of people/situations, but there's also a whole set of people who are effectively addicted to food and the cravings are almost 0% to do with not having the correct nutrients.
Do the ARM companies besides Apple even care about desktop long-term? There seems to be enough billions to be made in
Mobile and IoT that they can keep focusing on that indefinitely.
Lotto disagrees. In fact super rare wins make them perceived as so much more valuable (and so much more an object of envy if it happens so that your friend wins at the self checkout).

Precise measurements are needed, this would be a cool psychology project to work on in some big chain.
That's what I mean, your host may be upset if you're maxing out a shared line.
I can't help thinking this is short sighted of them.

In the days when banks needed branch networks and physical money the barriers to entry were high. We're now getting to the point where new entrants can, and increasingly are entering the marketplace.

I suppose you could argue that these new entrants are going to enter the online only marketplace anyway, but then how are the established banks going to differentiate themselves? What advantages do they have? Apart from a legacy Cobol codebase.
It isn't especially difficult, but is is expensive. The big challenge with CPU design is to make up for the costs and for that you need numbers. In the 90ies, there were plenty of high-performance CPU designs, Alpha, Sparc, Mips. They were alle killed by two mechanisms, that Intel had a lead in fab technology and that Intel had much higher numbers, consequentely could gain back much higher investments as the competitors could afford.

The big question wouldn't be whether Apple could make a high-performance ARM, but if the financials play out for it. The Mac Pro numbers certainly wouldn't pay for such a CPU development. This could change of course, if they would bring back the Xserve in a modern incarnation or find some other uses for a high-performance ARM cpu.
Given that you're a "big dude" (aka overweight?) I assume you are that way by choice given your comments about how you can control your appetite?

I'm a bit of a fat bastard myself and I think what I've come to realise is that for a huge segment of the population eating just works fine and they can adjust diet to tweak this or that relatively easily. For the rest (like me), my relationship with food is broken and stuff like IF or keto or whatever are patches to deal with that underlying brokenness. It always works for a while, but it always go to shit eventually.

Israel’s racism problem is not beitar fans it’s an establishment with a deeply rooted fear of Arabs, something that shaped its policy toward Palestinians since its inception and before.

Ben-Gurion, probably the most despicable “leader” we’ve had (Golda Meir competing for the title) was known for secretive non democratic committees working to separate Arabs from the Jewish population by every means possible. One of the reasons was to prevent any possibility of integration and assimilation.

BTW, at this stage most Palestinians in Israel still saw a future of integration within a Jewish state (as demonstrated by attitude survey asking each population how they identify themselves), an attitude that was completely reversed when it became clear what Ben-Gurion was doing, the martial law imposed etc.

Racism in Israel is institutional. These football fans are not the problem, their leader, nethanyhu, is.
It would be far easier to just implement IRAs and let people vote by deciding themselves where to invest.
I was also thinking the same, especially considering that you start with this as your main reason:

"Anything whose main value proposition is about “ability to scale” will likely trade off your “ability to be agile & survive”."
Genetic improvement, just like eyeglasses and unlike college admission, is not a zero-sum game.
IMO the Kubernetes is a "open source bait and switch" business model.

1. Let the potential customers run it for free
2. Wait for them to break their teeth on it.
3. Offer them GKE.
4. Profit!!!

To me the whole situation about k8s is that people are running at it like lemming over the cliff: "Yes, k8s is complex and complicated (even as SaaS!!!), but it's still great!" As an "operator" this just goes beyond my comprehension of what good software looks like.
> Which is why we can't think of any high profile examples of private banks needing to be bailed out by taxpayers, right?

Which says nothing about whether the frequency of bailouts would be much higher or not if all banks were government owned & operated. As bad as TARP was - while still earning a profit for the government - the government bank scenario may have been even worse. You can see examples in this thread of the incompetence of government banking in Europe, in Germany for example. If the Germans can't operate a government bank at a superior level, California's government would be an epic disaster.
Machines that take cash require 10x the maintenance and are much more expensive.

Having some without even the ability to take cash is a cost saving measure.

If it looks like it could take cash but isn't right now it is probably jammed up or broken. This happens all the time.
What? Banks stealing from their customers? Why never. But seriously, who is surprised? That's what banks do. They steal. They steal small amounts in wrong fees. They steal huge amounts in bailouts. They steal medium amounts in between. And of course there is no regulation so there's no recourse. How surprising that an unregulated industry steals and fucks over its customers to the largest extent possible. Not. It's the American way. For people that have no morals and don't care about fucking over and hurting others, making money is easy especially in the US. I sometimes wish I fell into that category. I'd make millions as do all these entities and people with no conscience. The corporation is the perfect vehicle for such actions. But unlike the people running these banks, the people regulating them, and the people advocating against regulation, I have a conscience that doesn't allow me to get rich in this way. Expecting banks to behave in such a way is madness, however.

Well are they getting paid 10 times as much as the others?
We’re the only people who know what a T2 is too. I doubt that had big marketing implications like they are trying to spin ‘Axx’. Absent some geopolitical/supply chain risk.
But developers using Macs for x86 Linux development is a common thing. Besides that they actually also might need the Mac part (Office, other software requirements), it certainly would be a hit to Apple, if those developers dropped the Macs.

I am one developer using a MacBook Pro at work, but depend on the ability to run x86-Linux VMs. I could not use an ARM-Based Laptop for work.
That's what I'm trying to test. Last time I've got 800 mostly meaningless comments.

The idea is to stop numerous zergs: you can't ban them one by one, but a little bump on their way can do the job.

To avoid annoying more serious commenters, the captcha should be as simple as it can be. So asking to add 321+625 would be too much, while a question like 2+4 doesn't need any thinking, so I chose two-digit numbers.

This is a small social experiment. I don't know how it'll go.

Did you know that Solzhenitsyn was successfully treated from cancer by evil communist doctors while being in Gulag that did not have any healthcare? Did you also know that while being in Gulag Solzhenitsyn was a "stukach" who reported of his fellow prisoners to the camp's authorities (he writes about it himself in one of his novels)?
Furthermore, electronics fail. If there’s some records including 2FA codes that you want to store in a safety deposit box, fire box, etc. I absolutely want at least paper backups whether or not I also have a Yubikey, SD card, etc. eg if I have a home inventory I absolutely want prints even if it’s also in the cloud someplace.
McKinsey's Company: Capital's Willing Executioners
I wonder if we will ever get rid of the ludicrous limitation of the privileged ports. It's a mechanism that only provided some sense of security in the 80s.

The W3C[1] says "if you connect to a service on one of these ports you can be fairly sure that you have the real thing, and not a fake which some hacker has put up for you." Well, in 2019 computers aren't mainframes run by institutions and hackers can be root of their own system and run whatever they want on port 22.

It's such an incovenience that I'm sure it caused countless services to be unnecessarily run as root.

+ avoid swim paddles. In my club most injuries were due to swim paddles.
...and there is like 5 people doing that in 7.7 billion population.

I'm always stunned by god-like developers/designers who want to convince others that their way is better, completely forgetting that truly normal users don't care about anything discussed here or done by any other company. :)
Focus on features and dev speed by managing a container mesh, the underlying server, system libraries, patching for security, handling a potential spike, solving each problem with your architecture as if it were novel, etc.?

There are times to go serverless and times to avoid it, but with what you're saying you want to optimize for, serverless is the answer.
There are a number of reasons to reopen a machine after end of day close including testing hardware. Also someone could have forgotten to close it out.

For a machine where all the cash is locked in or more likely emptied their is not much risk in that.

It doesn't lock out linux from using it. They deviated from the NVMe spec, and it took time(and somebody to actually investigate) for the linux guys to figure it out:

https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/71

It's not a lockout by any means, and your next version of linux kernel will support it just fine(assuming the NVMe patches are merged).
The future of Pro machines is largely about VMs. Heck, the recent past of Pro machines is largely about VMs — that’s the reason I so often hear people complain about 16GB ram limits, for example.

In that world, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Mac Pro running a (few?) very high core-count cpus(s) underneath an Apple/ARM based software stack, even if the cpu comes from Intel or AMD. That would let a putative Mac Pro run the same software as the battery-friendly laptops.
so did you read it? his mom is illegal his brother is illegal and another riding in the same car is illegal. they crossed the border and got questioned. they tried verifying his info but his mom put a false name on his birth certificate, claimed he was born in mexico before and got him a visitors visa from mexico to the US when he was a minor.

so it sucks he stayed there so long but are you gonna say this is normal? can you find any case where a legal person with no false papers or illegal family members while crossing the border got detained?

Ask HN: How to invest safely in Europe?
I have seen many discussions about how to invest but they seem targetted at the USA market. The main assumption is that one can expect to have a 6-7% return by investing in good ETFs. I have researched a little bit and I don't see how that can be achieved investing in the European bonds/stocks. At the moment the safest bet seems to park money in monetary/government bonds that however don't return more than 1.5% on average. Can somebody provide some suggestion references about good investment strategies with a low risk profile in an european context?

The population ratio were already the same. Assuming the average human IQ is the same, that would mean for the topmost 10 000 brilliant American geniuses, you would have about 50 000 Chinese geniuses of the same caliber. Or that there are as many people in China that are in the top IQ percentile as there are people in the US that are in the 5th percentile.

I have no idea if this is true or if it has a sensible impact.
This is a great insightful talk; starts with interesting historical perspective. Great video, great slidedeck. Why no comments?
