Interesting since the government is in the pocket of the Murdoch empire. Since the blood letting of news and media started well over a decade ago, it's never found a way to catch up to the new world of tech giants controlling what people see.

And to control what people see is to control how they think and who to vote for, and before you know it you run nations who have convinced themselves they are democratic and free thinking.

It's a mistake to think the Australian government is doing this just for the good of its people. This is the same government that wants a sovereign backdoor into every system under the guise of anti-terrorism. The same govenrment who raided journalists from the national broadcaster to stop whistles being blown at the government and also to put the broadcaster back in its place.

So good luck legislating it. Perhaps try untangling some of your own hypocrisy first.

Arm Holdings is now owned by Japan's Softbank, because a Conservative (business-first) administration thought selling off the family silver was a fine idea.

This is pretty typical of the UK government's approach to the computer hardware/software industry. Had the first business computer industry in Europe (anyone else remember the LEO line of mainframes?) and a promising software biz, of which only bits remain. (The gaming industry is thriving, but the rest mostly ended up being absorbed by US multinationals. I could speculate that having a common language, in combination with a series of governments who believed in leaving things to the Invisible Hand, and a business culture dominated by accountants, were at the root of the problem ...)

I'd say that's because you should mentally substitute RPC whenever you see REST. Basically everyone talking about REST APIs mean RPC over HTTP with nouns in the endpoints.

Ask HN: Why doesn't Google punish medium?
In a lot of searches, one of the first results is a article written in medium. In my opinion, most of them are pretty bad and I barely click on them.

One example is googling "how to find startup ideas" first result is some medium article. I don't want to attack this guy that much, but he has I think 30 followers on Twitter, he is not well known in a startup world and his article is very generic rehash of the stuff you can learn elsewhere. Nothing new that should give him the top stop.

On the fifth place you have a classic PG essay. Below him you have Andrew Chan article. Both people are well known, their essays are read by a lot of people and are insightful.

But somehow one random guy with one article can rank higher. Is it because of medium page authority? Why isn't google doing anything to fix this?

> Make no mistake, these companies are among the most powerful and valuable in the world. They need to be held to account and their activities need to be more transparent.

Opensource is as important today as ever. The only way of controlling our own economy, news, even who we date and marry is to know how the algorithms and software that guide our lives works.

All these algorithms are being optimized for things that have nothing to do with our wellbeing. To know what they do is just a step in the right direction.

I would like to see all these tech giants to be forced to use open source solutions that everybody can scrutinize. If we are so dependent on this digital infrastructure to make it transparent is in need. That is also true for software used in the goverments themselves.
Disgraceful that these were allowed be built in the first place.

People defacto forced in to these out of necessity, not choice.
> you should be separating the functions of router and wifi into their own discrete devices

Why?

If you need a media converter, router, and wireless access point anyway, there are obvious space and power advantages to combining these functions into a single device.

I could see a concern about performance, but from scanning online reviews, it seems like the Turris Omnia performs just fine.

> A router should ...
> A wifi ap should ...

Instead of just stating your beliefs as if their truth is self-evident, please offer some rationale.
If you want support from Murdoch papers during election cycles you need to give them what they want. Which is for their businesses to be free from competition.

The National Broadband Network was crippled because it was a threat to Foxtel. And now Facebook and Google will need to be crippled because they are a threat to the Murdoch mastheads.
I have thought a lot about shared living spaces and I just can't see it working without a really strong sense of community otherwise everyone would just think "not my problem" when there is a mess.
Shared housing is becoming popular in Tokyo now, specially in Setagaya. Thanks to Netflix and Terrace House for the hype and people are starting to realize they can live better in a sharing accommodation that they wouldn't be able to afford alone.
"just to boil water" has got to be the biggest understatement that I've heard in a while. There is a reason we use water in radiators: It's because water has a very high heat capacity.

I think this battery is meant to be used in small electronics projects. Like powering an arduino or even just an ATTINY.
I agree that would be an awkward situation for myself and SO, but I disagree that it would represent a security issue. If the data is being sent to the vendor, I believe we should be able to audit that data. IMHO, deciding otherwise is giving far too much power to the vendor.
Yeah I get the rate limited error every time. I think Twitter just marks anyone not using the app as a bot
Algorithms can change though. An extreme and made up example might be that Facebook could publish their algorithms, then update them just prior to an election and not disclose that until afterwards due to needing administration time publishing that information.

Obviously I'm not suggesting this would happen in practice but my point is governments having a published document for tech algorithms is essentially meaningless in terms for protecting democracy (instead you'd need other controls in place). If anything, it just makes it even easier for governments to exploit technology for their own personal gain - which is more likely the reason why they want insider knowledge.

Sadly Nashorn, the JS engine that was built into the JVM, has been deprecated as of Java 11: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/335

It had so many compatibility issues with real JS that it was kind of untenable to use it with scripts designed for other JS environments: https://jaxenter.com/nashorn-javascript-engine-deprecated-14...

The only real way to deal with JS now is Rhino (which still exists!), or some custom binding to V8 or something via JNI (yikes).

Our work uses Nashorn a lot for scripting and this is a big blocker for us to move to newer Java versions.

And then reopen again in Australia as a satellite subsidiary branch owned or licensed by the newly created foreign-domiciled (and now non-taxpaying) parent.

> 'Awaiting trial sucks for anybody'

There is quite a stark difference between waiting in your home, with your family, while being able to continue your day to day life (if you are a resident/citizen) and not being able to go back to your life, losing your job in your home country, while not being allowed to find a job either in the US, all the while you have to pay for accommodation and food for months or a year out of thin air (in the case of most non-residents).

How can you think both those situations equally suck?

Why not. In most citys over the world, you can't really have your own apartment if you are single and in a low paid job. This way people can. And Tokyo has a great train and subway, so as long you can walk easy to a station, I think that's cool. Not forever, but why not.
I think it's important to realize that, and it's mentioned in the video linked, individuals staying in these apartments are making a deliberate choice so that they can have a better commute.

I've lived in central Tokyo in a rather large 1BR running ~$2,300 per month and now reside a bit further out paying ~$1,600 for a smaller 1BR.

Many people in Tokyo live ~45 minutes commute to work (via admittedly crowded trains) and pay significantly less for reasonably sized studio apartments.
The Turris Omnia is not a good use of money if you want a WiFi router, since more powerful options exist for less than half the price. It’s a fancy box for techies to buy with some extra disposable income.

I don’t know, 9 square meters is anything but cupboard size to me. Plus this likely doesn’t count the space for the kitchen and shower/toilet area.

4.5J (6 sqm) and 6J (9 sqm) is fairly normal for an urban apartment.

>but these books are often way out of date and only cover topics that have been solidly established 20 years ago.

Those are the best topics to cover, especially for people starting out and wanting something solid. Anything after that is in flux and will end 90% bogus.
Also answering a question. There's a youtube video about topology and solving .. I forgot but say elliptic curves equations. And when encoded in topological terms the problems simply vanishes (some would say the knot unties itself).

You can invent aesthetically pleasing theories and notations but if it doesn't help solving a problem.. it's a bit moot.
I'm majorly surprised you needed to read until the end to figure that out. To me it was and is impossible to read from the beginning without having my propagandometer going off-limits nearly instantly. I wanted to take parts and comment here to substantiate my claim, but the post is too extreme and long. It's obvious. The linked post is outright /r/sino material.
I don't think the comparison is meaningful. Twelve years ago, it was obvious to most people that the web on smartphones would be important. Mozilla understood that but they were presumptuous: instead of trying to create the best Android web browser, they tried to make an OS that could rival Android. FirefoxOS/Boot2Gecko failed, and their mobile build suffered from all this.

I don't think that VR sets have the exponential growth that smartphones had on their first years. So this new target of Mozilla may never expand outside a niche market. And I'm afraid their flagship browser could suffer from the side-effects of this focus.
> Now I want you to be able to do this reliably every day for the next two years. I need this data on a regular delivery schedule and it can't rely on some human being there to constantly fine-tune things.

If you're going to stack the deck like that, then sure, scripting isn't the right approach here.

But in reality, for many things, automation that works 90% of the time and reliably attracts manual intervention the rest of the time is often fine. If you can build it quickly, it wins out over something more robust that takes significant investment to build.

I found the Apology a delight. You can easily read it in one sitting. But it will stay with you for a long time.

It is a book you find yourself thinking about long after. It is by one of the great minds of his generation and his thoughts are elegantly expressed.

(Not saying that the views are completely right. Many observers, for instance, have noted that the Number Theory that Hardy cites as without application is used today as the basis of coding. But the ideas are both well-informed and well-stated.)
And what does that have to do with citizenship? It doesn’t really sound like you’re putting forward a coherent argument for anything at all.

I know someone who went to study one year in Portugal, one of the things she noticed was that most students' full name would fill more than two thirds of a printed A4 paper.

On the other hand, if a library card allows you to borrow books, it is a form of credit. It does make sense to keep track who you are extending credit to, right?
This is prioritising having a very short commute in Tokyo over anything else. It's a good thing that such an option exists.

A few years back in London, I had friends living in small house/flat shares in Zone 1 who would be paying the same amount as I did for an entire 1 bedroom further out.

I didn't want to have flatmates, they saw it as an acceptable compromise.

The majority of people I speak to outside of the big city bubble see living in flats/apartments at all as subpar/odd. It's a compromise for city living.

The underlying story in most of Hunter S. Thomspon's books is barely interesting (a guy gets an assignment to cover a motorcycle rally, misses the action, gets stoned with his lawyer friend in Vegas, they meet a girl, have a few drug episodes, skip town, come back to cover a cop convention, have a few more drug episodes). It's all in the style and insight, not the plot.
Restricting the queries is backwards. You expose should only expose the few that makes sense in the domain of your app, and optimise for those.

GraphQL scares people because it seems to to allow arbitrary complex queries from applications. But that complexity was always there. REST just hides it in an unbounded number of predictable HTTP requests.
> In theory, the risk-free return should be equal to the rate of inflation -- nothing ventured nothing gained.

The rate of return is the opportunity cost of capital. As long as you have economic growth there will be an interest rate.

When the government puts an interest rate below the natural rate it is making the machine work harder, but not necessarily better. It gives people that have access to the natural rate of return an above-natural return.
This is actually a thing in Japan. A number of real estate companies manage “share houses” where 10-20 people each get a ~9sqm room, with shared living space, kitchen, bathroom, etc.

While I’ve never lived in one, the few times I’ve seen inside, they’ve been in incredibly clean. People I know who’ve lived in these places generally have nothing but good things to say about them. They’re often not cheap, though. From what I’ve seen, they’re usually in central locations, and priced more than a similarly sized room with your own kitchen/bathroom out in the suburbs.

You can find much slower machines able to route gigabit, the limitations are mostly on the bus and ability for the driver/chip to efficiently process notifications. We're only talking about 125MB/sec, and if any of that is bulk data utilizing the full MTU, as few as 81k packets/sec, represented in (modulo driver/chip/config) far fewer than 81k interrupts/sec
What do you mean wirh unlimited complexity, no caching oe aithorization? Have you ever used ot server-sody? Because they are all solved problems, except maybe caching in the transport layer, depensing on which forn of caching you're targetting.
I mean of course its a deliberate choice, that's a truism, that doesn't mean the conditions that lead them to make that choice are sensible.
The key word is: predictable. If your requests are predictable, then you can handle even the unbounded number.
Other places like Europe, Australia have capped interchange rates through regulation. Many countries have domestic cards with much lower (or even flat yearly rather than per transaction) fees.

For a whole apartment (even excluding kitchen/shower)? Let's be generous and say it's double. Where in the west is 18 sq m. not closer to a cupboard than a house?
That's why GraphQL is probably okay when your backend and your clients are developed by you.

IMO, REST APIs are a better fit if you open APIs to the whole world. Then, at least, you have a limited set of queries that you can optimise and plan for.
I am sorry Dang, I read the rules a long time ago and never thought it was something forbidden.

In the other hand I do not think the NPR title is very indicative of the content either: "How To Bring Cancer Care To The World's Poorest Children".
Rwanda is certainly not the poorest country of the world, its large neighbor RDC, has the third of its GDP per capita in PPP.

Rwanda is one of the most promising African countries. A long time ago it was labelled the "The Swiss of Africa".
