Specifically this is moving TV channels out of the 600MHz UHF spectrum, with the new licensees being mostly cellular carriers.
If you're progressive then NZ is a good place with strong social support and networks. There's definitely plenty of faults but it's not nearly as bad as other countries in most cases.

There's also not the extreme rifts that we see elsewhere. If you look at reform for instance then there was broad cross party support for firearm reform, abortion reform, and euthanasia reform all in the last few months with both left and right parties voting for all of the above, something which would be pretty inconceivable in a country like the US where people seem to take opposite views on things just because they refuse to agree with the other side.

The population is largely free of extremists and have a culture of just getting on with things and working together, this comes from the extreme isolation which we've historically had. That leads to people being irreligious, educated, and practical.

It's very democratic and has very low levels of corruption, politicians are accessible and mostly trusted.

This is tempered by a high cost of living compared to wages.

Unfortunately we have seen a rise of US style far-right opinions and extreme views fed from the internet (like antivax and also a rise of disinformation and fake news). Ironically this may mean that politicians will be forced to become less accessible and democracy and freedoms may take a back seat to security as we've seen in the US. I hope not.
Thanks for the explanation! It hadn't occurred to me that an encoder would spit out packets for part of a frame, while it's still encoding. For what it's worth, ffmpeg's public API - at least the one I used in a previous project[1] - only produces full frames.

The MPEG-2 state object you linked to looks a lot like the private data of my decoder already[2]. I wonder if there's any restriction on when a packet may be concluded. I.e. do MPEG-PS packets have to contain full slices, or can they be cut off in the middle of slice?

The "hairy" part with my current design would be to reproduce the call stack. Again, if the decoder would live in its own thread, it would be a no-brainer.

> and it's been done successfully by every major decoder implementation afaik

As far as I can tell, ffmpeg's decoder does not allow for this. It always searches for the next picture's START_CODE before starting to decode the frame. Similarly, the libmpeg2 source you linked to doesn't seem to provide any functionality to resume decoding from anywhere in the stream either!? The NEEDBITS and DUMPBITS macros just assume there's always more data.

Long bet: governments will recognize the human right of mobility
Good! Maybe Hacker News will stop shadow banning me!

Our company, which has a number of "software" patents, also implements shadow banning in a communications application, and we never even thought to patent that. Despite the fact that we review all new features for patentability before they're released.
Have you ever tried to support a native application? There's a reason why the web is the preferred mode of delivery over the internet.
> Consider just a fake part that pretends to authenticate you but sends a fixed fingerprint image or embedding or whatever to your SEP. You wouldn’t know but someone else could get into your device.

Which was the second point. They can replace the whole phone and you're in the same situation. Having two components authenticate each other just requires them to replace both.

> The flash storage cannot simply be moved to a new device.

Not the way they've designed it, but there is no security reason not to allow that once the phone has already been unlocked.
There's going to be an equilibrium here dictated by how much Apple itself is willing to pay for bugs. If Apple pays more then presumably more bugs will get reported which makes the remaining unreported bugs much more valuable since they'll be relatively rare.

>Only administrators or automatic spam detection tools can shadowban. Regular moderators cannot.

Regular mods see shadowbanned posts in the modqueue. In my case, the admins confirmed the automated spam detection snowbanned my account shortly after I paid for Reddit Gold.

>You didn't have a premium account and you weren't above the rules.

I didn't break any rules or expect any special treatment, all I wanted was a silly badge...

>Being picky, mean or downright unpleasant will get you banned you from certain places.

I have never been warned or banned for any of this type of behavior on reddit.

It is critical to assume the other party is writing in good faith when interacting IMO.

Honest question: Have you done the numbers on your career? Researched it to some degree that gives you serenity?

Like really doing it in Excel, instead of just looking at ballpark estimates and thinking "yeah that's gonna be enough"?

Many people don't think of themselves and their position in life in this fashion and rather have a moralistic view of the world: "If I work a lot, I'll feed my family!" and just assume that is what is going to happen, based on the values they were taught growing up / in school / on tv.
This is due to a bug where some folks didn't get caught up as "free forever."

Sounds like a toxic place. Instead of compromising or arguing a technical point and making the discussion an engineer effort, your manager ruled by feudal law. This is the antithesis of good engineer, in which good technical arguments and trade offs are made with everyone equal at the table.

Why your manager is making technical decisions is beyond me as well. Managers are supposed to be managing people, not doing engineering work.
I don't know exactly and I wasn't able to find a reference either but I thought the increase was something like 30%. Maybe hubspot or buffer has a blog on it.
It's gaslighting them. They have no feedback that the world is ignoring them. The crank on the public street corner saying the world is gonna end soon gets feedback when people walk right on by or put in their earbuds to ignore him.
The article also had

> Another $500,000 will be given to those who can find a “network attack requiring no user interaction.”

which I believe many of her vulnerabilities are definitely eligible for. I read that article from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20639999 yesterday, and she had this paragraph as her second

> Vulnerabilities are considered ‘remote’ when the attacker does not require any physical or network proximity to the target to be able to use the vulnerability. Remote vulnerabilities are described as ‘fully remote’, ‘interaction-less’ or ‘zero click’ when they do not require any physical interaction from the target to be exploited, and work in real time. I focused on the attack surfaces of the iPhone that can be reached remotely, do not require any user interaction and immediately process input. [0]

The full $1 million is for that level of fully remote attack, but against the kernel. I'd have to look up to see if any of the code she found vulnerabilities in are part of the iOS kernel.

Factoring is very common for smaller companies. 15% for 90 days is the norm.
Mind giving some highlights because all I hear are about farm subsidies and never about any policies that hurt farming.
Selling bugs and exploits is not illegal just about everywhere, so there is really no risk. Plus, law enforcement and intelligence agencies, or their contractors, are the ones buying on the “black market”. Nobody has to worry about jail for knowing about a mistake that Apple made in their code and telling someone else.
“Confidential”
They are getting sued for allegedly lying to their investors. How does them continuing to sell oil to consumers have any relevance?
This comment is a very measured critique of the article but one need not be so kind. I imagine you may not be doing it our of mere politeness, I get the sense some comments are bending over backwards as a means to not play into the perspective in this article. I won't be so kind: the author imputed every bias they have about a community they know nothing about and played on stereotypes from the beginning and didn't even shy away from saying it:

> Picturing the moderators responsible for steering conversation on Hacker News, I imagined a team of men who proudly self-identify as neoliberals and are active in the effective-altruism movement. (I assumed they’d be white men; it never occurred to me that women, or people of color, could be behind the site.) Meeting them, I feared, would be like participating in a live-action comment thread about the merits of Amazon Web Services or whether women should be referred to as “females.” “Debate us!” I imagined them saying, in unison, from their Aeron chairs.

Imagine wanting to write a piece about any group or any community and having such coarse ideas of who they are and what they believe before you interview them. Do journalists not care about things like biases, cognitive or otherwise and how they can color your opinion of the subject you write about? The sheer lack of self-awareness is part and parcel of the larger problem both people on the right and the left have with the news media in general.

I'm a leftist personally, I tire of the neoliberal bent towards this place too but I have some sense of context and at least try to be aware of how my own worldview can affect the way I understand others. It's always disheartening to read articles, even if they are opinion from authors that really don't even try, even a little--especially when organs like the media, just like tech companies, have a large amount of power and ability to shape public opinion. You have to be looking for toxic and overly reactionary opinions to find them; they do flare up but are generally downvoted/flagged, and given this experience I have, this article really serves as a great example of the Gell-Mann effect as others have pointed out.

Altogether, there are some interesting bits, I had no idea of the personal life stories around dang and sctb, but it was rather painful to wade through the constant recitals of tech bro stereotypes.
HN is filled with Silicon valley nonsense, tropes, and hot garbage. But the things you describe are why I keep coming back. There's always something new to learn.
Apologies, I did fail to RTFA in this case. Thankyou!
Why Do Stocks Go Up over Time?
By that logic though you should be able to only contribute for the specific programming you watch. As in "I agree with paying for BBC news, but not kid's programming".

In Australia we fund the ABC and SBS through tax, which have charters requiring a certain amount of locally produced programming, and serve as publicly owned news media (which I think is in the public interest so long as the government isn't exerting too much in the way of influence), as well as programming that could be considered too niche to be profitable otherwise.

When I was a teenager SBS was how I was exposed to some really good stuff I wouldn't have been able to see otherwise because it was anime or foreign language films.
Seems like the USPTO could use a patent for implementing exponential backoff and double the fee every time it comes back.
> it quickly (very quickly) get out of control

javascript
Kind of what I meant by "Especially considering the lower legal risk" but I guess there's the specific cost of laundering it too. A good point!
Because HN is not place for poor people!

Just joking[0], it's mostly because a lot of these pay walled sites have a workaround for reading the article anyway.

[0] I am pretty sure I'll be downvoted for it, because it actually is mostly true.
I use Gitlab CE and I certainly prefer it to GitHub. The interface just makes more sense to me as an operations-first guy. The CICD connections are great.

That said, I do SOME work in GitHub to stay familiar with it. And I've set up web gonna to push to lambdas, but I would probably hate that process if I wanted to clone a private repo and had to deal with the security there.
Because users can just pull the battery and kill their compromised baseband processor.
I always interpreted Brexit as people going nuclear in response to politicians callously calculating they can ignore public sentiment and decline to use those powers, in the name of advancing the politician’s ideology.

For example, people weren’t pleased by those rape gangs being covered up because it might offend immigrants to prosecute raping children. That’s what “multiculturalism” meant in the UK — subjecting children to rapes so you don’t offend people.

These are all first page results on Google for “British grooming gang” — there’s many, many more cases of immigrants raping British children.
Cool thanks! Now this explains a lot more of what I'd want to hear as a potential user
Exactly. I seem to remember an app a while back that was billed as a heartbeat reader and it would have you repeatedly press and release the fingerprint sensor. After a delay it would flash some sort of in-app purchase authorization. Pwnage that relies on some sort of user interaction is worth 50% less, and rightly so.
Realty Shares had a faulty business model of trying to match individual investors via crowdfunding to developers needing cash. This was grossly inefficient in light of a well-established commercial lending community not to mention Realty Shares had no recurring revenue from their transactions. It as doomed to fail from the beginning.

On the other hand, Fundrise and DiversyFund have cash flowing properties which are always in hight demand that produce recurring revenue so all things being equal I would go with DiveryFund in light of no fees…
I've had the opposite experience. Working for a "no guy" who was hired fresh out of school, stayed at the same place for 8 years or whatever, and then blocked anything anyone learned from working somewhere else.

We started to wonder if his blocking of everything was just pathological because the tech stack wasn't all that great.
> Why would I give them that?

So they can repair your phone.

And they get the same thing when they give you the rogue phone back and you try to unlock it, at which point it sends the PIN to them and they can use it to unlock your original phone and then mount it over the network to display the same data until they've finished copying it.
It's the second time. First time was in 2009 when the 700 MHz band (channels 52 through 69) was reallocated to mobile.
kcachegrind is okay, but VTune is a lot better.
They lied to the public about side effects of their product. That's ridiculously illegal.
I suppose it's also worth noting that Chesterton's Fence is an (imagined) real physical thing which required time and resources to construct. Thus the odds are pretty good that it was made for some real purpose, as opposed to a policy which is ephemeral and does not intrinsically require a significant expense of time or effort to create.
Why can I log in to my Facebook account with a misspelled email/password?
Adam Smith addressed this in "The Wealth of Nations." The coal furnace door opening children all got fired when one of them discovered they could tie the door handle to the piston and open the door automatically for the coal shovelers.

This isn't an AI problem. This is an owner vs. employee problem. Advances in technology accrue to the owners at the expense of the employee. This always happens because employees sign over rights to their innovations to the employer in exchange for a short term need for money.

Most people never take the time or spend the money to invest in themselves.
In the form of stolen red board or internal testing iPhones or something else?
A likely factor in this lawsuit is the excellent investigative series done by InsideClimate News. They were a finalist for a Pulitzer for this series.

Part [1] covers the beginnings of Exxon's own climate research in the late 70s, and the findings of their scientists, which was approximately accurate to modern climate behavior today, 40 years later. Back in 1979, Exxon outfitted some of their ships with equipment to detect CO2 absorption in the ocean along their routes; Exxon was, at the time, one of the leading climate research organizations in the world.

Part [2] covers some of Exxon's research and findings in more detail.

Part [3] describes the climate models that Exxon's researchers developed in the early 80s, and some of the early decisions that corporate leadership made to downplay the implications of these models and search for other poorly-founded ideas that might rebut them.

Part [4] is about Exxon's discovery of and response to a major CO2 source in the South China Sea.

Part [5] briefly talks about synthetic fuel technology under development in the 1980s and the impact that early climate science might have had on exploring that technology.

And [6] finally gets to the meaty part where, after well over a decade of their own research efforts were telling them otherwise, company executives began a misinformation campaign through the 90s and 2000s, downplaying the certainty of climate science and its potential effects.

You can also explore a pile of internal Exxon documents yourself [7].

The comparison between energy companies and tobacco companies is apt. There is no doubt that, even as Exxon duped an entire legion of people into believing that climate science was "uncertain", internally they had solid research demonstrating the effects their practices would have on the global climate.

It's fair to say that climate change skeptics have been arguing against Exxon's own research. They just didn't know they were arguing against Exxon's research, because Exxon lied, repeatedly, to the public.

Their executives did not want to accept the potential liability associated with the findings of their own internal research.

Well it's not a lie. Most paywalls you can access via anonymous access or disguised as a search engine or spider. Don't ask me about the legalities of such behavior, however. I'm waiting for some content license authority to start charging 10k per instance of paywall evasion.
Thanks for clarifying! My knowledge of the law is second-hand. Comments like this help a lot!
The Kuleana Lands Act of 1850 is not a racist federal entitlement program from the United States, it's an act passed by the constitutional government of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The descendants who are currently occupying these lands are arguing their territorial claims based on the fact that the Hawaiian Kingdom is the de jure governing body of the lands in question. By acknowledging the validity of the Hawaiian Kingdom's Land Commission Awards, the court is acknowledging the Hawaiian Kingdom's sovereignty over the Kuleana lands.

Kuleana lands are not "indian reservations" which exist at the whim of the federal government; they are properties awarded to private citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the Kuleana Lands Act. Everything about the Kuleana lands, from the size of each parcel, to the conditions of the land awards, are matters of Hawaiian Kingdom law and are not at all dependent on any kind of racial entitlement program in the State of Hawaii or United States.

I am not sure how you mean to conflate Kuleana Lands with "native lands in every state in the Continental U.S." I am needing some elaboration.

Also, about the State of Hawaii's federal tax burden, what about it? Are you saying that it is impossible for a government to profit in Hawaii without federal money? Please interpret the data you provide.
Parser combinators are the way to go. I don't use python often enough to know if such a library exists for python, but I would assume so.

Calling is also archaic. Manually tell them my location and wait to hear a price? I'm on the go, I don't want to deal with that crap.
Change for the sake of change is almost always bad, making decisions without considering externalities is worse.
I see. I was paraphrasing from the article originally, and didn't mean "share data" in a very general way.

Sharing memoryviews lets you share e.g. numpy arrays, so it should be powerful enough for some applications.
Yeah, they're just buying dev-fused devices.
I personally think that the problem with AI today is deployment and not research. You see a lot of very busy lawyers not because AI cannot help, but because it is not deployed. The same applies to health care. Even if we come up with super human models for cancer detection, they are not deployed.

The problem is that in order to deploy AI you need a lot of very costly talent (costing as much as the lawyer itself). This will be solved first by AutoML / Auto deploy.

I.e. once automl is working, and each professional can create and deploy models, than will see the productivity gains.
It is really sad to see Reddit stagnate on spam handling, but the dev resources at Reddit seem to be laser focused on making the new UI & features that ease the transition from Facebook to Reddit.

Most of the subreddits with active mods and communities have yet to stylize and reimplement their custom CSS, sidebar and links on the new UI (or can't due to limitations of the new UI), which means lots of people using the new UI miss out on key features that differentiate a subreddit from the rest of Reddit.
What Apple is doing here is really smart. An under-appreciated wrinkle is that grey-market sales are valued on continuous access; you get paid over a period of time, and if the bug you sold dies, you stop getting paid. Apple isn't just bidding against the brokers and IC in lump-sum payments, but also encouraging people to submit bugs early, before they're operationally valuable for bad actors.
