Substantial parts of HN think this is something that could be rectified technologically. And there are a few species that are "biologically immortal"; lobsters don't have telomere aging, for example.
Infringement would most likely be detected by reading data sheets and looking for similarities. Armed with that, an IP holder would go through the very expensive reverse engineering process. They're unlikely to do that unless a win in court is likely.
Thanks postcynical, I (OP) feel this pain too. Do you think tandem.chat (YC2019) would solve any of your issues?

Edit: Note that Im not affiliated with Tandem in any way, just curious.
WoW works perfectly on linux with Proton, and installing it is as easy as getting Lutris and double clicking on WoW's icon.

WoW classic also works perfectly, if that's your thing.
The materials scientist Mark Miodownik discusses this and other miracles of modern, well, materials science in his marvellous book "Stuff matters" (https://books.google.com/books/about/Stuff_Matters.html?id=_...). I found it fascinating—though, fair warning, the material on cement was by far the most fascinating to me.

Longer trips would take you to different locations. So, sure visiting Australia from Florida would result in more pollution, but that’s not the same experience as a Caribbean cruise.
Fake news??? What are you talking about? Please take few minutes to search on google before saying it's fake news... My message clearly said there is a 75% revenue tax in france and it's true. Why are you talking about corporate tax when i explicitly mentioned the 75% revenue tax?

Apparently this is a topic you're not allowed to talk about, even if you can prove it empirically.
One of the committers have submitted VHS patches, so there is a community of one so far. :-)

Currently it can decode to black and white I think.

I am very interested also. I bought a high end consumer JVC deck unopened in box, just for this purpose in the future. But the thing is, only the mechanical transfer needs to be good, and the heads OK, the rest of the machine need not be high end at all. It really has the potential to get better VHS rips than any pro lab today in existence can achieve.
I did try but I like more intellij. Quirks I mentioned are important for my workflow.

From the point of view of their principles, the contract with Google is fine as long as it protects privacy. Some people will always be quick to jump to conclusions, but there's a practical problem when such people form a good chunk of your market (and can amplify their outrage via media).

It's a practical problem. On the one hand, you have people turned off by the perception of Mozilla betraying its principles. On the other hand, you have resources to be directed to substitute the analytics backend. The right thing to do would be to pick an option that maximizes the amount of resources available for Firefox development/Mozilla's mission.

My impression is that building and maintaining an analytics backend consistent with their mission would not require that much of resources, so the balance would fall in favor of doing it. But maybe (probably?) I'm wrong about this, and it's better to stick with Google for now.

It's inevitable that children today have more contact to digital technology in all its forms. This may have disadvantages.

But it's certainly not avoidable.

The best that parents can do is to try and teach and encourage children to focus on healthier stuff. To not be slaves to their mobile phones. To have empathy. Easier said than done though.
I wouldn't be surprised if AMD kept some kind of patent license to GlobalFoundries patents when they spun them off.
Good point. I was thinking in the direction of something I'm tinkering with in a similar area. There getting a static snapshot of the current DOM or fragment is key (meaning scripts being stripped out is an intentional feature). Tweaking the document contents for efficiency could significantly impact a lot of script work that may be present.

This does not contradict what I said.
If you use conscious thought as a tool, like deliberately using third person, this can change your perception of your self.

I am talking about the usual thoughts you have that are unprompted.

I feel like the article is not disagreeing with me on that necessarily.

There are also experiments that support that idea:

Most "gravity" batteries don't consider the cost of the weight. So far the only two types of viable gravity based energy storage systems are pumped hydro storage and hydraulic hydro storage since both take their weights from the surrounding environment.

I will admit that the crane idea is at least fixing the flaw of most gravity batteries requiring a separate generator per weight. Doubling the length of the crane arm increases the capacity 4-fold.

GPUs are made to execute a limited set of the same operations operation on on a huge amount of data in parallel. This is a totally different workload than your usual computer programs, that commonly have a long and complicated series of commands. Thus just translating your program 1:1 to your GPU computer would make it way slower. Your GPU runs probably around ~1.5GHz, a third of your CPUs. The GPU does have a few thousand cores that run in parallel while our consumer CPUs does have at best a dozen (that are more capable than any single GPU core), but most of those are often already idle, since it's a lot of work to make your software take advantage of them. For some tasks it's worth it, and those take advantage of e.g. you GPU.

JavaScript Is Bad
The idea of a vertical farm is a brain scam.

They make zero logical sense.

A bit like subterranean levels on a house, everyone loves them because they seem 'free' because of lack of exposure. In reality they are the same as adding a level above a house, which everyone 'knows' is expensive.

Anyway vertical farms don't work because if you add surface area with the same sunlight then it's obviously greatly reduced per plant, nothing is free.

All the, "but, what if", are answered in longer blog posts. IE adding the word hydroponic doesn't change the fact they suck.

Separately, hydroponic are great for high end rich person food. They don't add to food security.

Land is cheap, sunlight is free, what's been happening for thousands of years is still the best, improving yields to these is what matters.

One, if not the biggest issues with developing countries is lack of vitamins in kids 0-2 and pregnant women. This is what needs solving.
Since the technology moves on so fast, shortening the patent expiration to eg. 1year would solve most of the problems.

Companies get 1 year head start (which is a lot), and after 1 year, we all benefit.
Very interesting. Would you rather solve this by having a larger network of local friends, or by having better ways of doing office banter and informal interactions with your co-workers?

Except that until the functionalities of the control panel have been replicated in the new settings, we still need a way to access the control panel. Hiding those functionalities from search in between just doesn't make sense at all.
my only concern about owning the model 3 is what happens when something breaks. However while Tesla gets a bad rap here and in many cases deserves it I have already experienced a similar problem first hand both with VW and Chevrolet. Fortunately for VW the issue I experienced will never resurface because they cannot sell TDI models anymore.

Still I am hoping that by 2021 or at worst 2022 there is a viable alternative to look at. I will be really loathe to give up OTA let alone the simplicity of the interior. Do not under estimate the game changer that OTA is, it is completely contrary to how all other automobile manufacturers operate; one of my peeves that helped convince me to trade my Volt.

Working for the major automotive replacement parts company I am always expecting all manufacturers, from automobiles down to phones, make parts available for third party repair facilities and owners.
I guess the ads in Solitaire may be less about making money off those ads themselves but more about reinforcing the idea that "ads are everywhere and that's OK" to get the masses used to ads (so they accept the other ads everywhere else).
We are using YouTrack cloud and while it does the job, it's not really satisfying to use. We would like to see more and better integrations. My current frustration is the Git integration; it only works with commits (not PRs) and is not 100% reliable. There is also a Confluence plugin that someone wrote for their hosted version 6 years ago, but the company won't enable it for the cloud version.

On the plus side, I've had pretty good interactions with their support team and they seem pretty responsive. Given that they are located in Eastern Europe, the team communicates very well and I generally don't have any trouble getting them to understand what's going on.
"Your private information has value to us" would be a more honest wording.

Yup. You learn that you can easily go anywhere you want on a curved line, as long as you're willing to wait long enough. But making that line point towards where you want to go is a stupidly fuel-expensive process.
> Of course, the downside to this argument is the results if you transfer it elsewhere in the justice system; by this logic, every crime should have infinite punishment - but an automatic death penalty for speeding is an absurd result.

But, the penalty for a crime isn't set by logic, it's set by legislative process, which prevents the absurd result.
> But it's certainly not avoidable.

It certainly is avoidable. The difference between my friends who are very conscious of the exposure they give their children to TV, phones, tablets, etc vs those who don’t is striking.

Case study A: a friend who lives with her 6 year old son in a tiny Paris apartment. She has a laptop for work and an old phone she uses for WhatsApp/basic tasks, and that’s it. When I spent a few days at her place last winter, the kid helped us cook, we played board games after dinner, and he was really excited to go to the park the next day.

Case study B: San Francisco friends who let their kid use an iPad pretty much any time there is any chance the kid might be bored, moody, etc. She is pretty much addicted, and it’s quite hard to get her excited about anything else.
Amartya Sen's Nobel-prize-winning work on famine is probably the best read here. He points out that the problem is rarely lack of food, but lack of claim on food. People end up unable to afford it, no matter how cheap it might be. "Solutions" which involve heavy capital investment and depend on imported items aren't going to make it cheaper.

It's even possible to end up with situations where food is destroyed because it cannot economically be sold, while people are also starving. This is not about food but about power.
I believe they're saying that the requirement of landing after staying in space for a long period of time should constitute a new record, and that they would be excited to learn about plans to land the ISS back on Earth in some capacity as this would place the ISS in the running for this record.
> Well that posits the certain existence of an alternative global economic system that would ensure everyone got fed

The problem isn't that there isn't such a system the problem is how to implement the system without people who benefit from current system trying to destroy it. But we can extrapolate from the fact that even in the most ridiculously unfair conditions such systems have managed to feed people far better than any capitalist country in same or even comparable conditions.

Alternatively, cruises tend to take meandering inefficient routes - comparable flights will always be shorter.
From one angle this isn't so unreasonable.

If your car never breaks down, why fix it when it does. There are already plenty of sealed units in a car. If your 2nd gear went, you'd replace the whole box.

Id be interested to know what proportion of phones actually break (except user imposed damage) before they reach the end of their useful lives, I would guess very few.
IMO Papers Please falls in that category. It has pretty graphics but almost no gameplay. Definitely nothing close to Jeff's games. It's a hit because it captivates you with art and dystopia, but in my book, definitely has no real gameplay that I can bare for more than 10 minutes.
I didn't always thought like that.
I only recognized this after I had a "dark night of the soul" / ego death.

Since then I've managed to not see my my thoughts as beeing all I am, losing most of my anxiety (which was on a normal level) and generally being more happy and motivated to work on myself.
This. I think they removed at least half of the items from "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items" compared to Windows 7/8/first builds of 10. In a few years Control Panel will be removed altogether.
> Otherwise, I'd guess that the vast majority of home consumers have an OEM key that came with their laptop or PC (or upgraded from Win7), and they didn't pay hundreds of dollars for.

They do pay for it, as you acknowledge in your next sentence. Most OEMs explicitly include the price of Windows in their device pricing (which is made clear if the product is customizable to the point of choosing Linux or no OS - that pretty much always drops the price).
Civilizational Collapse, Part 4
Neptunia, Atelier, and EDF all have much better graphics than Jeff's games. The first 2 have a lot of well-drawn scantily clad girls, and all the graphics are nice. They're old-school, but very well done.

Jeff's games do not have that same air of quality. It's not just about techniques or style, it's about artistry.

Personally, that's fine. I value a game much, much more for its gameplay than its graphics. But that is certainly not true for the market at large.

And even for myself, if a game doesn't put in the effort to have good art, I assume they didn't put in the effort for the gameplay easier, as its a lot easier to buy good art than good gameplay design.

People do judge books by their covers, and Jeff isn't acknowledging that.

Having said all that, if I ever played any of his games, it was forever ago. I've looked at them and haven't seen or read anything that makes them stand out. People sometimes say they're great, but they never say anything that makes them sound special.
At a guess, stories of people who manage come out ahead pull in a lot of people who don't.
Mechjeb can help you with the boring parts. First couple dozen launches or orbital intercepts are super-fun. But once your goals shift from "let's land on the Mun" to "let's send a 250 ton ship to Duna", assembling it in orbit from a dozen launches starts to feel like a chore.
derriz, it's $34bn PROFIT in 2014. You can find it here:

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

in table 1, ASI Profit shifted. I can see why you are arguing for this arrangement if you don't know the facts.

The US absolutely taxes every subsidary in the US.
I'd argue that's only valid if you're a small company.

Once you're a huge corporation with tons of stakeholders, it seems inevitable that you will compromise customers in favor of profits sooner or later.
No - it's about $4bn by my calculation. See https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/apple-records... on Apple's Irish tax bill. This is probably a reasonable margin given that the vast bulk of the revenue accrues from low margin logistics and packaging.

France can tax whatever it wants. But it should later complain if this provokes a tit-for-tat reaction from the US or other trading partners if they decide to tax French imports.

I know it's not a popular argument here but I genuinely fear a future world with escalating tarrifs and trade barriers and I think there is a huge amount of FUD spread about how international trade works.
My gf is very extrovert and in need of social interactions to not get depressed. Having an "office room" helps, but not really solving the issue. Now she just feels ignored instead.

She gets it from an intelligent perspective that I need to work, but emotionally its a struggle.
Fair warning, this topic has been beaten to death and is now radioactive and everyone has settled in their tranches. But just Google around and you'll find tons of resources, though the wikipedia page[1] has a good overview of some of the subtleties, and some good examples (the recent Uber study is referenced on the page). And the fact that there are deep, nuanced, subtleties that require context to properly digest shows you that activists are really dishonest whenever they make shallow claims of wage discrimination.

For the sake this next example, grant me that difference in wages is due to life choices, even in that case, you can reach a state where things are, on the surface, unfair, like for example the fact that the pension will be greater for men than for women (or vice versa if we're talking about a female dominated field). You can take a shallow view and look at the raw numbers and assert bigotry. But that misses something, because it isn't quite the same as a government having a policy where, even when all things are equal, women get a low pension rate.

Almost every single explanation or example has this kind of nuance. It is almost never the case that someone just decided that Jane should make less than Bob because he's a man and she's a woman (though I'm sure in a country of 350 million, you can find plenty examples of that too). Furthermore, no company, and no government department has policies on the books that mandate one gender should be paid more than the other, and in fact they all have policies to disallow that - which really cuts against the claim of systematization (how can it be systematic if everyone is actively against it).

Neither is a government, of course.
So the reason they abandoned their 7nm process was because they were going to make money patent trolling instead? Guess it doesn't require as much investment as building fabs.

Actually producing stuff is just a liability for a patent troll, that leaves them open for counterattacks.

Thanks for that! It is very entertaining and puts me in peace with English, which so far I was refusing to give a status of a proper language and was degrading to a tool of communication - actually a great tool and I am happy we have it. But this video finally gives some answers about why the spelling is so weird and why reforming it would destroy so much meaning and etymological history in the writing.

Funny how languages evolve.

From now on I will stop complaining about the spelling in English and French :-D
No, in his previous post he said that better set would likely increase his sales, but not proportional to the increased costs and risks.
Can I ask why? What do you prefer? Genuinely interested.
Unison – A statically-typed purely functional language
To expand on that, this is my understanding: process shrinks used to lead to faster clocks AND more transistors, but a wall was hit and since then they only lead to more transistors. GPU's can use those extra transistors because their workload is embarrassingly parallel (thousands of parallel things), but CPU's can't because their workload is mostly sequential (developers have to explicitly write code for every thread to do something useful, and find this hard to do). You can see the clock rates peaking with the Pentium 4, crashing when that design proved a dead end, and then plateauing: https://i.stack.imgur.com/z94Of.png

IPC improvements are still happening, which is why Intel has been on 14nm for years and still makes CPU's every year that are a little bit faster, but they are hard to do and you only get incremental improvements.

If someone could figure out a way to write regular software that easily parallelized to hundreds of cores, CPU's could also get the same leaps in performance that GPU's have been enjoying. It's a software problem more than it is a hardware problem.
