I'm talking about the specific case where www.mosthated.com is sufficiently hated that people will scan the entire Internet looking for it. At some point, you'd use other intelligence to develop info on which VPS providers someone prefers for their hidden middle nodes, too. Knocking a few random VPS providers offline and then observing if the site goes down might be sufficient.

IP acl is best practice but the absolute cheapest web hosting options don't make this trivial or even possible. Plus, you could conceivably scan close to the hosting provider candidate by jacking a CF more-specific.
For my commute I set the radio to between 91.1 and 93.3. This range tends to be where the default for most Bluetooth and AUX radio broadcasters ends up being set.

Arguably an invasion of privacy, but it turns fellow commuters into DJs. I’ve discovered some good music this way.

Also lots of static.
But burning man provides the infrastructure. This like burning man but with no food, water, gas, place to stay, and folks possibly shooting at you...not exactly a direct comparison.

In addition it has dribbling exercises where you have to practice dribbling with one hand while reaching for invisible objects and accumulating points. Wish I had this capability a long time ago

Not surprising at all. I often follow the first few weeks of a MOOC but after a bit I am satisfied and don't feel the need to push through all 13-17 weeks of material. Isn't that a success? I certainly learned a lot along the way all the same! Much more about a topic than I would reading the wikipedia page or an introductory blog post, because MOOCs (being regular college classes) take a lot of pains to lay out the course material in a logical and structured format, which is itself alone already much more valuable than a single person's hodgepodge thoughts.
Personally, I kind of like it. Smart people choosing not to go into tech or not pursue certain strategies means less competition. The resentment was there for a looong time, what's new I think is it has now spread into tech itself.

I had a very similar problem and ended up in the streets. The solution was to join a bootcamp, cut things from the resume and get a junior job. From here, you can leverage new connections to get a better job or a promotion.

Joining a bootcamp makes it look like you are new to the field and will settle for an entry-level salary. This is a very extreme solution, but might help you solve this problem for several years.

I feel bad for saying this, but my advice is to dye your hair, join a gym and take some years of your Facebook profile.

Try to save some money to buy a car to do Uber, start a small IT consulting firm or get a job teaching. Most people will advice mild patches but they dont know what it's like to run out of money. I feel your pain.

Precisely what Satoshi Nakamoto cited as his motivations when introducing bitcoin on the p2pfoundation forums.

>A currency used worldwide, controlled by a corporation, and under the influence of the US government would be the exact opposite, and is not a thing I want to see succeed.

Completely agreed. The U.S. has been using any reach it has into other countries to push its very peculiar cultural viewpoints into countries that don't want them but need fair access to finance capital.
I know some suicidal people that are thinking it will be fun to go for ending their life. I doubt most people think about how many vulnerable people are going to use this event as their exit. Nevertheless they might just all back out.
Unite the Right is a poor analogy for this, since it was a white-supremacist rally featuring neo-Nazis that included the public murder of a peaceful protestor. It was "serious" whether well-attended or not.

If someone is shot by a US soldier trying to enter Area 51, it will also be serious, even if attendance was low.
This is nicely done. As an aside, there was something posted a while back regarding some of the custom workstations that were used to produce art for NES games. One thing I never really considered, but learned from that article, is how artists back then utilized the imperfections of 'pixels' on a TV set to give sprites more richness. In many ways viewing pixel art on a perfect modern display loses something – a kind of 'warmth' or complexity that becomes too 'perfect' on a high-def display.

Absolutely. That brains can be deconstructed into the presence and absence of ion gradients over space and time, and these ion gradients do not understand, does not demonstrate that brains cannot achieve understanding. Using an analogous argument against AI ever being more than dumb pattern matching is fallacious and a serious failure of imagination.

I'm not an expert on applications of black stuff, but having ultra black coatings can help get away with complex optical designs where you would have flares or loose resolution to scattered light inside your tube assembly. Also an optical design that's difficult to pull off mechanically may be easier to manufacture if you just use this coatings inside the tube and on the baffling.
This is simply not true.

It's interesting how content discovery has remained ad-hoc despite the arrival of ed-tech platforms like Coursera or EdX. People still prefer to ask for best books, courses, podcasts, cheatsheets on Slack/Discord/Twitter etc.

I think this has to do with the conflict of interest. Any platform that creates its own educational content, necessarily becomes bad at content _curation_. For ex, 3Blue1Brown has amazing series on linear algebra and calculus but we don't find Coursera pointing to it.
It's been 10 years since I think the last attempt at UWB failed to gain traction. But I think you can use a rake receiver with UWB to combine the multipath components.

But this behavior is not an example of learning. In fact, as Libra could potentially limits government power and encourages sound money money, one could argue this is the opposite of the dangers you mentioned.

This false equivalence borders on Godwin's law. Combine that with the 9/11 rhetoric in the US hearings and it's really quite telling how they get SO scared. Idk how far it's going to go, and it might not be Libra at all, but there is so so clearly big role for crypto currencies to play.

Oh, about as stealthy as a metal golf ball, painted black?

Put it this way: If you shine a flashlight at a cosmetic hand mirror, does the flashlight shine back and hit you in the eyes? Now tilt the mirror so that the flashlight doesn't blind you.

Stealth surfaces are supposed to work like a tilted mirror.

Now imagine a polished chrome golf ball. If you shine a flashlight at it, you'll still catch a bounce from the flashlight reflection, even if the surface is dimpled.

Compare the chrome golf ball's performance to an icosahedron faceted with mirrors. The faceted platonic solid is less likely to shine the flashlight back at your eyes, depending on it's angle of rotation. And a dodecahedron would perform even better.

High end watches aren't priced like regular consumer goods; you can resell them for close to (and sometimes more) than you paid for them, so the "cost" is much much less than the price.

What's most interesting about this watch is the steel/vanta combo costs the same as the solid gold version without vanta. Apparently just that small bit of vanta costs more than a large chunk of gold right now.
I'm interested in generally applicable rules, too; in this case, the generally applicable rule is that there is no generally applicable default robust behavior—the behavior of detecting numeric errors and crashing the system was the worst possible behavior in this context, but in other contexts it would be the best possible behavior. As I explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20935662, there was no acceptable way to handle such an error if it was detected at runtime. The only acceptable solution is to rigorously verify before runtime that the error is not going to happen, as Rust does with, for example, multithreaded data races. (Well, you can't rule out hardware malfunction, but if you can make it sufficiently improbable you can use the strategy that they did in fact use.)

However, default-ignore vs. default-explode isn't a difference between handling errors with IEEE-754-qNaN-style dataflow-tainting and CLU-style nonlocal control flow transfers, as you seem to think. In either case, algorithms that need data that could not be computed successfully will fail to get that data; in either case, you can write the code to either propagate that failure or to attempt to recover from it somehow. In either case, you will not be able to control the spacecraft if you needed that data to control it. The difference I was mentioning, which is not generally applicable, is that in unusual cases like the Ariane 5 disaster, where the erroneous data shouldn't have been computed in the first place because it wasn't needed, qNaN-style error handling clearly results in safer behavior.

But, in general, real-time control is not a place where there exists a "robust choice" when your software is broken. If your jet engine control software or your antilock braking software is broken, you're likely to die, and no error handling strategy can prevent that, at least not at the level we're talking about. Biological systems manage this situation by having a melange of somewhat-independent control loops using different algorithms that are constantly fighting for control of the organism; while this does seem to produce systems that are more resilient than engineered systems, it's less efficient and enormously more difficult to develop or understand, and it's the opposite direction from the rigorous certainty you and I favor.
I think this is a little bit of hindsight optimism over it all being obvious. It really wasn’t.

You wouldn’t classify the Hololens or Magic Leap as being at least the Newton of AR?

My theory on why they didn't elaborate on U1 / announce the (rumored) object tracking tags: they need better U1 chip penetration geographically before making any promises. Once a bunch of iPhone 11's are out there, they can further test the new product in a more realistic setting, and make adjustments if necessary. There could be some critical flaw that may need reengineering and they won't want a repeat of AirPower.

For instance, if they released the new object tracking tag with iPhone 11's, it would be a bad user experience because U1 is not spread out. Better to wait until the U1 geographically saturates to their standards before releasing it.

They can still talk about U1 in regards to e.g. new AirDrop capabilities, and in other marketing-level generalities.

If you're willing to entertain that many hypotheses, you need a huge amount of data to not be fooled by noise. For instance, there might be 1B hypotheses of the form "temperature in some town is correlated with the price of some stock". You'd need p<0.000000001 to not have false positives. Even the stock market doesn't have enough data for that.

There are several issues here, which you have combined into one:

1) Stallman states: "The word “assaulting” presumes that he applied force or violence, in some unspecified way, Only that they had sex. ... I’ve concluded from various examples of accusation inflation that it is absolutely wrong to use the term “sexual assault” in an accusation.

However, "sexual assault" as a legal term includes many examples where there is no use of force or violence. As I pointed out as a generic example.

This was to show that Stallman's definition is wrong in the general sense.

2) Is it rape in the US Virgin Islands?

Yes. The law is 14 V.I.C. § 1702 - https://advance.lexis.com/documentpage/?pdmfid=1000516&crid=... :

> § 1702. Rape in the second degree

> (a) Any person over 18 years of age who perpetrates under circumstances not amounting to rape in the first degree, an act of sexual intercourse or sodomy with a person who is at least 16 years but less than 18 years of age, and the perpetrator is 5 years or older than the victim, is guilty of rape in the second degree and shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years.

That is, while the age of consent in Colorado is 17 (excluding child prostitution, which is until 18), it is 18 in the US V.I.

Stallman doesn't like that US V.I. definition, but since his complaint is 'it is absolutely wrong to use the term “sexual assault”', his personal views don't really matter. At best he can say it's morally wrong, according to his own morals.

3) Is rape a form of sexual assault?

Yes. Indeed, many states have replaced their rape laws with sexual assault laws.

I cannot find where "sexual assault" is defined, for purposes of US V.I. law. It is used but not defined.

In general, "sexual assault" is "any nonconsensual sexual act proscribed by Federal, tribal, or State law, including when the victim lacks capacity to consent." - https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/34/12291#a_27 (34 U.S. Code § 12291 (29)).

Minors under the age of consent are not regarded as being able to consent to having sex, outside of a few limited exceptions (eg, similarity of age, sex with one's spouse).

Thus, Stallman is wrong in saying 'it is absolutely wrong to use the term “sexual assault” in an accusation' of an old man having sex with a 17 year old woman in the Virgin Islands.

Thanks for linking that as well as your earlier HN posts about Box86:

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19389120

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19400920

I think there are a couple factors that have limited the awareness of Box86. One is having the word "Box" in its title which reminds too much of existing solutions DOSBox or Bochs that already do their job.

The second is occasionally headlining Box86 as an "emulator", taking into account that most of the audience does not get very far into the article. Even if Box86 does use x86 emulation it's important to highlight that libraries like OpenGL and SDL run natively. Compare that framing to WINE, which is so forthcoming on not being an emulator that it's in the name.

I know for a fact that at least one of those certs was replaced with a DV cert - once the team in question had to replace it, they realized there was no point in replacing it with an EV since the browsers are removing the EV UI anyway.[0] I'd bet that a meaningful proportion of the certs in question are similarly being replaced with DV.

This is great news.

I remember a time when/where this kind of knowledge was hard to find and devoured whenever it was made available to you.
I agree. At the end of the day, C++ headers are quadratic. Folks who don't respect that fact are going to end up with files that take minutes to build. Threads won't save them. Linearly increasing core usage can't satisfactorily address an exponential problem. It would also mean make -j#cores may need to be adjusted to make -j#cores/#threads to ensure the system doesn't get bombed if a bunch of boost-heavy files get scheduled for compilation at the same time.

If GCC devs try anyway and end up adding mutexes to all their data structures, it could potentially make things slower for everyone. It'd be overkill too. Last time I checked, GCC doesn't even memoize the O(n^2*m) stat system calls it does when processing includes (where m = # of -I / -isystem / -iquote flags). That would be a very simple patch to make things less bad. But it still doesn't solve the problem, which is that programming practices need to change.
So, kinda like Burningman, only without Flume and Paris Hilton?
"Unfortunately the faster you get, the more energy it takes to maintain constant acceleration."

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You could also say "the slower you get, the more energy it takes to maintain constant acceleration". Constant means ongoing, so as long as it is constant, you are going to have to expend more energy.

Unless you mean that somehow, you could determine your absolute speed by how much you accelerate for a given expenditure of energy, but wouldn't that violate relativity?
