This is a great observation, and lines up well with something I've been thinking about recently. Some HN posters may be familiar with ASMR; if not, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_re... is a reasonable jumping off point. I'll assume basic familiarity with the idea of "triggers" - primarily auditory, these are actions / sounds that cause the tingly ASMR effect. Some triggers seem to work on really large groups of people (e.g. mouth sounds, repeated words).

From an audio standpoint, triggers often seem to be highly correlated with audio transients ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_(acoustics) ) - quick little sounds with a lot of detail. From an information-science standpoint, transient sounds convey more information in a short time period than does, say, a uniform sine wave, or music, or even talking.

There's a lot happening there, and it's not very predictable; but at the same time, the entire setting of the content is generally predicated upon relaxation. It's possible that the triggering sounds are stimulating that kind of negative / fight-or-flight / sudden-action-required sort of interrupt you're describing. The difference is that because of the context, the listener can immediately return back to feeling safe and comfortable again after the transient is past.

I have personally noticed that the most triggering kind of content for myself is content where I can _almost_ predict what's going to happen, but when it surprises me slightly. Repeated trigger words work really well for this - by the 3rd repetition my brain has an excellent profile of how the ASMR practitioner is going to pronounce a word, but there are always slight differences, unexpected timing, etc. that go into it. I'm not yet sure whether the trigger happens more on a prediction hit or miss; leaning towards a hit at this point.
And T-Mobile trademarked their particular shade of magenta, right?
The checklist for runaway stab trim is the same with MCAS -> but more likely and so a much more critical issue. Boeing should have updated pilots for sure - BUT many MCAS events may have occurred and been saved by the existing checklist which overlaps the issue.
I live by myself and I eat very little. When I have to throwaway food, it's often because I wasn't able to purchase small enough portions in the first place.

One example is eggs. They only stay good for 2–3 weeks, and I can't buy less than a half dozen. If I decide to make pancakes one morning (which I do occasionally, but rarely), that's one egg. I'll maybe find a use for one or two more before the batch goes bad. :(
Naw, it's that the traditional VB has to be "grown" and can't be spray applied, which is what this version is for. Growing the nanotubes makes them perfectly perpendicular. Spraying them... does not, but still achieves much of the same effect.
Dumb question, as I've never used wireless charging before: why can't you just flip the phone over so it's sitting screen down when you have the metal card in a pouch on the back? Will it not charge in that position?
I’d really lough when in the end she isn’t actually related to anyone and they pull a spaceballs-like: “And what does that make us?”
both data validation and model validation are important.

Of course more abstractly you want to validate the entire process - but I was referring to those two, as it is hard to see how to address the latter in a format like this.
This hack is a symptom of a much bigger loss of control. Twitter is an absolute dumpster fire at this point. The troll armies are spreading across borders, creating a self-reinforcing cacophony of hate. Blue checkmarks continue to act with impunity, and when they are given a slap on the wrist, they turn their hordes on Twitter itself. Then there are the blue checkmark propaganda Tweet rings, and multi-admin verified accounts spread across multiple countries, which make a mockery of the concept of a verified account.

Twitter seems incapable of dealing with these issues. If Twitter died tomorrow, or split the platform into multiple namespaces, the world would be a better place, especially since it seems to have a disproportionate hold on the minds of journalists.

> The US is an extreme outlier in terms of gun homicide in the first world

But it's not nearly as extreme an outlier when it comes to homicide, which is what should be compared. I don't care how someone killed me, I care that they killed me.

And when you start comparing demographic groups, the gap between the US and Europe goes down even more. (Approximately half of the total US homicide rate is African Americans killing other African Americans. This is a major problem, but also says that perhaps gun ownership rates are not always the primary factor here. After all, African American gun ownership rates are about 2/3rds that of caucasian ownership in the US)

> Defenders of the second amendment often say it's an opposition to tyranny, but I fail to see how a hand-gun will help to protect you against an Abrams wielded by a tyrannous government - or should tanks, jets and battleships be objects that private citizens should be able to purchase and own for self-defense?

Vietnam. Afghanistan.

Suppressing insurgents with small arms is really damn hard. It'd be even harder in the continental US, since there wouldn't really be a "home" to rotate back to. Not a safe one, at least.
Morality is inherently social. A person living alone on an island has no need of morality. So I don't think the notion of a strictly personal morality even makes sense.

And neither do you, or you wouldn't be here arguing for some very specific moral choices of your own. You claim you're not taking any specific position, but you of course are. Your repeated intervention in the discussion demonstrates that. And your unwillingness to spell out the implications of that position is telling.
Alternatively: have a shared cache. Share / replicate that around instead. It's just a local mirror, and you can even literally run it as a local mirror, so you can transparently convert your not-vendored-anything project into an equivalent-to-vendored-everything project without immensely bloating each git repo with duplicates.
Systemd is acting as the spiritual successor to inetd here (which is, as it happens, the core thing that systemd is designed to do: wire up services to each-other or the internet through activation ports/sockets, and manage access to those ports/sockets.)

Yeah after what happened with Anakin, what's the next big idea? Let's clone him! Wow! Maybe this time things will be different. Oh what happened the last time? We lost an entire generation of Jedi! But this time, we got nothing to lose. I'm not buying this.
From what I can tell 60's and 70's sci-fi and even some fantasy was always pretty progressive as far as those concerns go. Earlier sci-fi was less so, but that era had a lot of writers involved in the counter culture of the time, which tended to be fairly progressive.

One of my favourite authors, Michael Moorcock, wrote a lot of things I'm surprised I don't see mentioned more often. The Jerry Cornelius chronicles were about a character that changes race, gender, and orientation throughout his stories and covers a lot of social issues of the time. It's also just a really trippy fucked up series of books. Same with the dancers at the end of time series.

The issue I happen to be working on right now is: the operating system returns an incorrect value, for a particular function call, in many cases.

I'm reminded of an article I once read about determining whether a large number is prime. There are probabilistic algorithms that are much faster than actually checking every possible factor, and surprisingly accurate. Also, if you run any algorithm long enough, it's susceptible to bit flips (due to a cosmic ray or bad RAM or whatever). Together, this means that beyond some point, you're more likely to get the right answer with the probabilistic test than a perfect algorithm.

What's the "one right way" to deal with a bug in the OS? Sure, in the worst case, I could reimplement that entire subsystem, if I had infinite time and money ... but it's a large enough subsystem, odds are I'd introduce even more bugs in any replacement.

That's the tricky side of engineering. Sometimes "not cost-effective" is so expensive it defeats the entire purpose of whatever you're building. You very quickly get into massless elephants and frictionless inclined planes, and that doesn't help anyone.

I don't believe in "one right way" except in the simplest cases. As Harvey Pekar said, "Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff."
There is one person in the entire series that could be said to have a similar appearance to Rey: Sabé, Padme Amidala's handmaiden, played by Kiera Knightley, who posed as Amidala at various times. I don't know what that means in the end, but I would find it hard to believe that at casting they saw someone who was a previous character's doppelganger and decided to make them a main character without thinking about it.
It's not a correction, because "less" is also correct for countable things [1]. "Less" has been used this way for the entire existence of English, and the mistaken idea that it's wrong is relatively recent.

Technically, he rhymed one word with its homonym, not with the same word.
Interestingly Reis may have made the right choice: Hennies ended up dying in poverty before Reis even finished his prison term.

The only one that seems to have come out relatively unscathed was Marang, everyone else finished badly (including the printer in London).

Maybe, but the Force was never that deep as a concept, and don't forget that it was George Lucas who gave us midichlorians.

> I have been arguing lately that the "well regulated militia" should mean that gun owners should be required to attend militia training at least once a year

If the militia was self organized and this came with a relaxation of all the other gun regulations, I'd be all for it! 'destructive devices' would be rather useful in any sort of real insurgent campaign, but are basically banned for civilian ownership today.

But that's not what "well regulated" meant, and I suspect you know that.

Ask HN: How to deal with negative "tell me about a time" interview questions?
I have interviews next week that I'm very nervous about. I'm excited about the job and know I can do it well. However, I know for a fact that it'll be a very long day of "tell me about a time when you failed" and "what's the worst thing your previous manager would say about you". After a day of that, it'll take a while to recover from the bad feelings, especially if the result is the usual ghosting.

Any advice how to deal best with this awfulness?
There’s an active project to make good trackpad drivers for Linux. I suspect I could get better performance from the x1 given some work. I’ll focus on that one. The dell latitude 7250 I suspect just has a crap trackpad.
I think that's a good heuristic if the product is a startup and if the executive moves on and if I can see that. But I'll note that even that's not perfect. YouTube was an acquisition where all of the founders moved on to other things, and 9 years later it's still doing fine.

I think this is because people don't see the value of data. I've also heard a lot of justification about people saying "well my individual data isn't worth anything" but also being freaked out by ads they get. I'm always confused by this juxtaposition. But I guess there's similar stances in a lot of places in our culture right now.
Penalise is the wrong concept here. What The Google is doing is getting smarter and that intelligence is being applied. Call it a correction if you need a name for it.

Long to short, Google just wants to be human [1], but it wants to do that automatically and at scale. It seeks to reflect what a human would approve or reject. If you look at the history of SEO / the search algorithm this is the nature of the progression. Obviously.

These sites aren't being penalized. Hiding in a blindspot and being discovered is not a penalty. It's simply reality; a reckogning; a day that only the naive would believe was not coming.

[1] Actually, Google wants to be you. The attempt to personaling search is Google wanting to recommend to you if you could recommend to you.

"Religious practices" has always seemed like a coherent concept to me, the way anthropologists use it—but one that doesn't really fit the label we've given it. It's almost a diagnosis of exclusion: "religious practices" are everything about a culture, other than its economy (trade, productive marketable craft), and its politics (tribalism, war, game-theory).

Most art and music in modern culture would fit neatly under the "religious practices" anthropological aegis. Which isn't a bad or wrong thing, I don't think! The category is a correct and natural division, and anthropologists are right to group "all that stuff" together. The label on the grouping is what's silly.
FWIW my Simple Card still looks fine, but then I use an RFID sleeve for a wallet. Just some heavy Mylar, I think.
The addition of Tarnished to the headline is a bit much. I'm not sure what the complaint is. That it was a serious bug? That it took 61 days to fix?
It's exclusively a show car. You can take it easy.
Pantone copyright issues aside, I do understand in this case it's more likely the patent to the actual nano-material itself and the writeup didn't necessarily make that clear, it's just a really strange case of exclusive patent licensing to me. I'd read before about vantablack, but it was only about how it worked, I wasn't aware of the exclusive licensing part of it.
The full context of the quote includes elaboration which makes it worse. There’s so many mess crammed into that quote it’s hard to know where to start.

“Western civilisation” is a weasel concept, meaning different things to different people at different times. You have to pin it down. “Western Civilisation” naturally must include Donald Trump, Karl Marx, and Andrea Dworkin. Their ideologies do not cohere at all.

When they say the patriarchy they mean the patriarchy. When I say I’m opposed to patriarchy I mean I’m opposed to patriarchy. Oh, I’m actually opposed to “Western Civilisation”? Wtf does that even mean?
There is probably much better advice out there, but if they are throwing an oldie "time you failed" or "tell me about your weaknesses" question at me, I generally just reply with the (equally as old) "Once I failed to hit a deadline because Im a perfectionist and X wasn't quite right. I've since learned to better manage my efforts on key priority areas".

The "perfectionist" route is a fairly adaptable answer for any of the "state a negative about yourself" trap cards.

- a cross account CodePipeline using CodeBuild and CloudFormation (you cant do it through the UI)

- configuration issues with lambda, API Gateway, and binary transfers.

- Python/Boto3/DynamoDB and DAX coding issues

- various weird CloudFormation issues.

I work in tech as an engineering operations lead, wife would be in a policy role. Total possible comp for her $400k, mine $250k.

It's just a pithy quote that is obviously false and yet very difficult to unlearn. People with different values can be equally happy. There are tons of objectively crazy people who are happy, and even a few who are rich. There lots of miserable people with "perfect lives". There are many approaches to learning something. There are many ways to contribute to a successful team. There are lots of good programming languages, and lots of different ways to solve problems.

I'm not suggesting that there is no such thing as happiness or that wrong can't be distinguished from right, I'm just pointing out that you'll probably go through life being very judgmental and probably unhappy if you really believe Tolstoy's quip.
The exact details would depend on what they do with the uploads and the specific countries they're uploaded to/from. I'd presume they do this for security and debugging purposes, not to 'steal' the libraries. Like a virus company uploading samples of 'suspicious' .dlls for analysis, this looks like a fair use exception.
If she was Anakins clone, wouldn't she have to look exactly like him ? Just like how the clone troopers all looked like Jango Fett. I can see how she would be a clone, just not of Anakin. The whole clone thing would also explain the reflection/mirror scene in last jedi. Maybe she is the original clone and they discarded her ? And evil rey is like a trained clone version of her.

There are two schools of thought:

1. DNA is the hardware

2. DNA is the software

CRISPR gets a lot of press because it seems to give biologists exactly what they've always wanted - a tool to mess with the DNA - to alter the hardware, i.e. move around transistors

Biologists love CRISPR because they are hardware people - that's how they were trained, that's how they think, and there are millions of them all thinking the same thing, yearning for the same.

Then there are the others who think DNA is software, the genes themselves are "merely" the CPU. For them, the hype around CRISPR is a distraction, and it only sets back scientific progress as it keeps channeling the focus and attention to the mere physical act of cutting pasting DNA as if that would ever explain anything.

In a nutshell, genes are probably not that important, it is the repetitive and seemingly senseless elements in between then that regulate the individual pieces. For an analogy think about how you can run radically different software of the same hardware.

Can there not be a law that states that Google can't just say "Your account is suspended, and the decision is final, and we won't tell you why." This sounds like the type of monopolistic action that we need to break by petitioning our politicians.

Google, Facebook, etc need to be regulated.
No, you can use redaction to reduce classification level also.

Well yes, giving up is almost always the easiest option in any situation. I mean easier than attempting to navigate Google support channels or having the right internal connections.
These only work with programs written using (and linked to) Xt, the X Toolkit, or something which uses Xt internally, like the X Athena Widgets. More modern toolkit libraries like GTK or Qt are not using Xt, since Xt is ancient; modern toolkit libraries are written directly on top of Xlib or the even more modern XCB.
It is shocking how familiar/similar the thoughts/feelings and fears of ancient people are to that of my own mind today. It was such an eye opener when going through Eliade's History of Religious Ideas.
There are numerous exceptions to the exclusive right to copy works of authorship, of which Fair Use is only one case, actually an "affirmative defence" (that is: not a preclusion to civil or criminal proceedings, but a defence which may be presented), based on a four-part test.

There are additional excemptions, including copying which is required in the normal use of software, and possibly other information, on electronic systems. Whether copying to a malware-scanning service may or may not be included in that, though it would seem a fair argument that it should be (transformative, doesn't impact market, does affect the whole work, purpose is constructive and not otherwise served, context is specific to the nature of the work).
Everything solid
I would add that there is a case for ceramic matrix composites in modern gas turbines. And this could also radically alter the ease of manufacturing for solid oxide fuel cells, which in addition to having extremely high combined cycle efficiencies (>80%), can natively use existing hydrocarbon fuel sources, as opposed to just pure hydrogen.
