I wonder why we talk so often about swap but rarely about using zram. I mean, isn't it much simpler to add some zram as swap instead of messing with the partitions and in the end, it should solve the problem equally well, doesn't it?

I have seen this being done on Android devices and wondered why it is being used so rarely in other areas (Desktops/Servers).
Why drive thousands of vans around the UK, hire contractors and spend tax payers money, when the government can ask Sky and Virgin to provide them with a long list of households that are paying for cable tv (~30 million)? It makes you wonder, doesn't it?
"The full $1 million will go to researchers who can find a hack of the kernel—the core of iOS—with zero clicks required by the iPhone owner. Another $500,000 will be given to those who can find a “network attack requiring no user interaction."
Ehhh, whats the point in this exactly? Apple only considers bugs to be significant if the penetration can happen without help from the end user? Thats not how this works in the real world Apple.
It would be helpful, obviously, but it is not necessary and not realistic.

Trying to go to an extreme is counter-productive because people won't follow.

Convincing people not to eat meat at every meal or every day has a much higher chance of delivering significant results quickly.

I came upon this page after an Indian collegue of mine called the '@' sign something along the lines of 'aderate'. I did not understand why, and after some searching an article popped up written by someone who had the exact same thing happen to him[1].

Awhhh you are so kind!!

It truly warms my heart to hear such positive feedback, and personal feedback even!

I really appreciate it. And I am smiling from ear to ear.

The mobile apps are perhaps the most requested add on! I'm currently building out our features as requested by users and ironing out the bugs.

I hope to convert the web app into mobile apps / create native apps very very soon.

Thanks again :)

This is the same fallacy as the UK "being dragged into WW1 and WW2". You just needed an excuse for joining. You joined because you couldn't accept Japan or Germany becoming hegemons of their regions. An united Europe or East Asia can challenge American supremacy.
I don't know. From what I remember of the flame war the problem was that they fairly discriminated against various races and zip codes. So actually the algorithms had to be made less accurate to fit the legal expectations.

But once again the problem was in the customers. They should have said optimize for a, while keeping discrimination in check, not just optimize for a
What I find interesting about your site is that you've updated it at least once to use more modern web standards - that <main> tag was introduced in HTML5 in 2014, and before that you had a PNG image for your name (https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://stefanfisk.com/). Updating a site to give the user a better experience (eg to use semantic tags) is great.
Google has more potential to harm. Imagine if they come up with a technology to replace HTTP and HTML, so that you can't modify web pages you visit. You open up a website and it's like you're looking at a video stream of it, except you can interact with UI elements but can't remove ads. Then they make your browsing history immutable and available to companies that can affect your career and finances. Of course they will leave the option to make it "private" if buy a premium account. Then they become an internet provider and ban VPNs and proxies. Then they make it required for you to consume ads for one hour per week, otherwise you loose access to the internet and your data. Then they implant an electronic device in your brain so that this happy hour of ad consumption happens against your will. Of course you will have the freedom to choose when to engage in it: 15 minutes before going to bed for a few days, or the whole hour right away. It interacts deeply with your brain, ruthlessly rewriting neural connections unlike visiual stumulation by eye. Then the government acquires this technology and they choose to inflict pain on those who disobey or has something to say. Then they learn to read the minds in a crude way. If you plan to do something about it then your brain is forced to experience the maximum pain it is capable of experiencing. It all happpens automatically. Those in control do not wear such devices.

Does anybody have any science fiction recommendations along these lines?

I see Google as a super huge organisation with smaller organisations within (I never worked there so that's just an image).

It would be less surprising to have these kind of disfunctionments within giant corps I think.
As a consumer, Google's product strategy also mirrors that image (the number of messagings platform they released that ironically don't talk to each other is legendary by now)

In particular, a very small company with a lack of internal communication would fail very fast, so it's less likely IMO.
Not mentioned in the article:

The Scottish heroin epidemic started in Edinburgh, the more prosperous of Scotland's two largest cities. This was largely due to the presence of MacFarlan Smith, which was at one point the world's largest producer of pharmaceutical opiates. That initial cohort of heroin users in the 1980s predominantly used drugs that were diverted from the legitimate pharmaceutical supply rather than smuggled from abroad, which led to an unusually rapid increase in the user population and the illicit market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacFarlan_Smith

The majority of overdose deaths in Scotland involved multiple drugs; for reasons that are not entirely clear, Scottish addicts are particularly prone to concurrently use opiates, benzodiazepines and alcohol in an indiscriminate manner. This vastly increases the risk of overdose due to the cumulative and unpredictable respiratory depression induced by multiple drugs.

No answer on the networking forum yet.
I cannot try because I don't have a Pi4 yet.
It seems possible.
An easy test would be to test whether this command will work on Pi4:

raspividyuv -md 7 -w 640 -h 480 -t 0 -fps 90 -o - | nc someIp somePort

and on someIp server service listeing on somePort just storing the data received. Because yuv has 12bits/pixel which is a bit more than the 10bit/pixel of raw Bayer, the command produces a 316Mbps stream of data for v1 camera (732Mbps for v2 camera when recording with "-fps 180"). For testing the service on someIp can be as easy as:

nc -l somePort > foobar

In the Chinese media I've read about this, the CIA usually isn't accused directly. Rather, they cite a Washington Post article [1] where Allen Weinstein, co-founder of the National Endowment for Democracy, says "a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA." Then they argue that the NED's funding of various political groups in Hong Kong [2] is essentially a CIA operation.

Personally, I think that's a lazy argument trying to link the CIA (known bad) to the NED (therefore also bad). On the other hand, it does mean that US government organizations are picking favorites to provide with funding in order to influence the politics of foreign countries.

Absolutely, I never said methane was without effect.

However, its effects on global warming are greatly exaggerated by environmentalists and/or those with vegan ideologies.

In my opinion, focus should definitely not be on meat consumption.

Anyway, as a disclaimer, I follow a carnivore diet consisting of only animal products. You can expect me to be heavily biased.
Quite the opposite. Some of the biggest international corporations are located either on it or on side streets flowing into Friedrichstraße.

It also attracts a lot of tourists due to historically relevant spots.
I'm not sure, but I would eat my hat if it's not the single largest voting block. The influence is not about praise or criticism, but what is easily understandable or what resonates with lived experience.

There's a lot of different people on HN. I don't mean to say we're all the same. It's just that voting is a low-pass filter.
> You need a completely different set of dishes to change that meat eating tradition and IMO tofu sausages, cheap soy steaks and other meat analogues will not convert meat-eaters to vegetarians (fingers crossed for Impossible meat projects to change that).

This is exactly what I was reffering to. The current alternatives are not motivating enough for people to switch, but with good meat alternatives like impossible/beyond meat we should see trend changes.

It feels to me that the approach "just change your culture" has been tried out and has mostly failed because most people in the west have not switched. It requires a lot of political/moral conviction for people to switch. Good meat replacements will I think change this and make it easier for people to eat less meat while keeping their culture.
Given that you're involved with CSE, if you have ideas or results, why not investigate and publish them in a CSE venue, maybe a peer-reviewed conference paper, or whatever the scientific mechanism in your field is?

You say this is important to communicate, and it seems pretty central to your professional field, so I don't understand why you aren't using what I assumed were the mechanisms of that field.

As you said, HN overall probably doesn't understand your field, and, given that: do you think it would be good practice for HN to let its impression of a field be determined by a punchy domain name that bypasses the field's own review? (I assume your thoughts are much better than those of anti-vaxxers and climate change deniers who bypass the field.)

Separate from that, since you think someone has been rude, maybe approach them constructively about it? All of you are just people, who spend your days teaching students, and researching that.
Nothing wrong with this in itself. A zero-interaction attack - like being able to get root on everyone who even walks past your WiFi hotstop with their phone switched on, even if it's in their pocket not being used - IS more valuable than one that requires user interaction, and it's quite right for rewards to reflect that with higher rewards.

Read what this guy is saying. There is also other companies which profit from the SAP ecosystem, selling commerce solutions(Hybris, now bought by SAP, called SAP commerce) etc.

Just do something that is neatly integrated with SAP that other companies would love to buy and you have possibly a good customer base already.

Hm. I might share my personal site with you (I don't operate one anymore) but certainly not my github account. I agree with the site would need a personal touch, but not every programmer is a web developer. There is quite a bit of specific knowledge required to set one up.

That might be different if you hire web developers of course.
If protectionism is good, then why did the world move away from it when it did?

I ask this question in good faith: global trade definitely has its downsides, but one positive aspect it has is that reduces the probability of armed conflict taking place between countries trading with one another. All else being equal, waging war on a customer deprives one of their business, and waging war on a supplier deprives one of that source of supplies.

To your point, cultivating your in-house engineers on a given project means that those engineers are tied up in that endeavour as opposed to working on something that has a higher return on investment.
Thank you :D

I use Blockstack to allow users to create an identity which is handled on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Essentially when Blockstack IDs are created for users during registration, they are saved to the Bitcoin blockchain immutably so that the user him or herself is the only one who can control their ID using their private key. This is the way in which user independence is secured so that neither app developers or Blockstack controls their identities.

Take a look to the whitepaper [1] to go deeply in the details.

This is exactly what is proposed. "It would be beneficial, for both climate and human health, if people in many rich countries consumed less meat, and if politics would create appropriate incentives to that effect". "Appropriate incentives" is a policy, "less meat consumption" is simply the result.
IntelliJ IDEA has plugins for Erlang support and as a beginner with the language it’s been more than enough. Not sure if there are any issues that would be blockers for more advanced users though.
So, they finally decided that the connotation is "tricky" with Hongmen. The transliteration in Pinyin sound close to informal name for black societies. The "Secret Society OS" is not the best pick for an OS name when things happen in Hongkong.

At least partly that is about being topical for their audience. What I am trying to point out is that just because it is written from a different perspective or for a different audience doesn't mean that it is wrong. You and I might dislike things about Hacker News, but by being here we have accepted those things. But when they write about Hacker News, they don't have to fit into the Hacker News narrative like we do. They don't have to avoid calling out what they see as bad or find what we see as good.

That certain topics can't be discussed because they disappear from view is a defining characteristic of Hacker News. But on Hacker News it has always been justified by it not being moderation. "It was flagged by users" is the common explanation. But for someone coming from the outside, that isn't blinded by internal politics, it doesn't really matter as the result is the same. The same is true of other dogmas or faux pas. For their perspective to be damaging it has to go beyond valuing different things.

The other reason I have a bit of a hard time seeing it as judgemental is because they provided a lot of space for other perspectives (and even link to discussions). And those perspective seems consistent with the different positions. The article for example does not only address your perspective on the moderation, but conclude with it. They specifically and at length talk about the style of moderation and mention things like dead comments. You might even say it is the entire premise of the article.

In the encoding examples, I would prefer showing ASCII characters that encode themselves as literals. So for the "hello" (format B) example, which is currently shown as:

55 68 65 6C 6C 6F

it would make sense to me to display it as something like:

<55> h e l l o

or

55 <h> <e> <l> <l> <o>

depending on which version you prefer.

There are many JS libraries that are wonderfully simple. I think the problem is:

- Too much choice; it's insane how much you have to decide before you get started: React or Vue? SSR or SPA? REST, GraphQL, or RPC? PostCSS or Sass? CSS-in-JS? What router? Redux or stateful components? Axios or Fetch API? Client-side rendering/routing or server-side rendering/routing? Webpack, Parcel, Create-react-app, Next.js, or Gastby? And the list goes on... I mean that's just nuts.

- State management is inherently complicated; people don't realize that 90% of the case you don't need interactive / stateful views to build a product. People implement bunch of useless interactive "niceness" that are overkill because React allows them to. If you use React as an HTML template engine then React is actually super simple and super neat.

How awesome would it be to have a framework that has sensible defaults for all these questions. And that educates how to decide certain crucial aspects.

For example:

- Use plain old HTML instead of interactive views if you can.

- Don't start with Redux. Instead, use Redux only after you know exactly why you need Redux.

- Use a RPC-like API (e.g. https://github.com/reframejs/wildcard-api) and only use REST/GraphQL if you need to expose your data to third parties.

- Use server-side rendering/routing if your app is mainly about content (a blog, a newspaper, a e-commerce shop, ...).

- Use client-side rendering/routing if your app is mainly about user interactions (a music player, an email app, a graphical editor, ...).

What if the chip uses asymmetric cryptography for authentication with a private key stored in it, impossible to recover, just like a credit card? In this case it can’t be spoofed by intercepting the comma between the phone & chip, private key can’t be extracted, etc.

Sure, a bypass battery is possible. The point here isn’t 100% security (which as you say is impossible), it’s to make the operation difficult enough that most give up or have to charge more than an official battery replacement.
HRMC cracked down on that recently and sent a bunch of NHS staff bills as large as multiple years of wages, which obviously they can't afford to pay: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/feb/16/thousands-of-w... Basically, they they changed the rules so that the entire "loan" counted as though it was forgiven and chargable as income in one lump sum in 2019, meaning that most of it was charged at the higher rate of tax.

The astounding thing about this is that as I understand it, the nurses and doctors who're being screwed over aren't generally the ones who benefited financially from this scheme - it was the NHS (effectively the government) which did. The companies running it witheld the tax the employees should've paid but kept it and used it to fund the cost of running payroll plus their profita, meaning the NHS didn't have to pay those costs. A bunch of existing employees were forced onto the scheme in order to keep their jobs too. (There were similar schemes for wealthy individuals in other industries which did cut them in on most of the tax savings though.)

The reporting on this has been utterly dreadful, and Seamus Blackley and his collaborators are jointly responsible for this. Just look at the headline:

A Conversation With the Team That Made Bread With Ancient Egyptian Yeast: How a scientist harvested 4,500-year-old yeast and turned it into a loaf of sourdough

Wow, they did it, right? They absolutely, definitively made sourdough from 4,500-year-old yeast! Oh wait:

"And, look, there may not be any ancient yeast in this. This could all be crazy, because we haven’t done all the science, and we’re going to. But it definitely acted different. It was really exciting."

What a joke. Blackley isn't a 13 year old at a science fair, and neither are his collaborators. They knew that publishing this as a tweetstorm with the disclaimers at the bottom would be open to misinterpretation, and it was. Here are a couple of lines from his tweets that would make anyone think they did it:

This crazy ancient dough fermented and rose beautifully. Here it is in the basket, just before being turned out to bake.

The crumb is light and airy, especially for a 100% ancient grain loaf. The aroma and flavor are incredible.

Yes, I blame all the journalists as well for not doing their fucking jobs and, you know, calling up actual scientists and Egyptologists who've already tried similar things.
