Right, and Buster has Qt 5.11. Qt 5.14 is nearly out and there've been some fairly significant changes in .12 and .13 (and finally a JS native table model for .14 — Qt Quick 2 is really, really immature).

Of course Debian only bundles X11 versions of Qt so if you're looking for an EGLFS build, you're still stuck rolling your own. If the Qt folks distributed pre-built EGLFS binaries for the Pi this would be a huge usability win IMO.

I’ve got a 91 Ranger (EFI) kicking around here and have the exact same experience. It has been nothing but reliable in the last 5 years I’ve had it. A couple small mechanical things that had to get changed, but electronically there has been zero complaints.
Sony's newer models have gotten rid of the headphone jack. I know this because I replaced mine earlier this year after dropping my old one on a bus floor.

I don't really mind so much most of the time, though, since my headphones were wireless anyway. I only really use the dongle if the headphones are low on battery.
> the fact that the pool of [all consumers' discretionary income they'd be willing to spend] is likely a small fraction of the size of [all commercial companies' marketing budgets].

I don't understand this statement. The companies marketing to people with discretionary income presumably get their revenues from that discretionary income. So mathematically their marketing budget would have to be smaller than the revenue from these people.
The name seems very ungoogleable (like "telescope astronomy") but there you are at the top of the results.

I still don't see how that's different.

How would a level 1 person "knock it out the park and look like they will succeed doing higher level work" if not by either doing level 2 work or succeeding in some other area that is technically above his paygrade?
Well, yeah - if you control for performance ratings, then pay is normally similar. The pay bands are wide due to pay for performance. Within a given level, employees with really high performance will be paid much more than those with average performance. At the FAANG company I'm familiar with, there are definitely "Senior SDEs" making ~double the average "Senior SDE" comp, because they consistently get really high performance ratings.
Which is rather silly because he used the correct, non made up, word right there in that sentence. Misdiagnosis.

There's absolutely no benefit to say "they are suffering because of pseudoaddiction" instead of saying "they are suffering because their pain was misdiagnosed as addiction."
Related question: what exactly is the LT in LTE supposed to mean? What's considered "long-term" here? Been confused to see 5G coming out already when 4G was supposed to be long-term.
> Why would you need to explain why someones hasn't got a promotion?

Presumably because they asked you why they haven't gotten a promotion.
No, it does not. The word is not used anywhere on the page. There is a mention about privacy, PII, GDPR, Audit logs etc. and how that's not implemented yet. If that's what you meant, fair enough.

Still a bit scared for your initial beta users running their business on this as mentioned elsewhere.
Beyond the devil's advocacy, my personal opinion is that the industry is currently swung too-heavily towards prescribing opioids. We need to swing back the other way. The trick will be not swinging too far, which is I think the brunt of this article's intent.
An article put forward by marketing. Not sure why many HNr's like this kind of article.

By no stretch Shopify is bigger than eBay, market cap is a game played by investors and this kind of article are used to boost it. If someone is holding Shopify stocks it will be the best time to sale.

Funny enough by this ridiculous metrics SAP's commerce cloud and Adobe's Magento will become the largest shopping site miles and miles ahead of shopify.

This kind of articles I believe are paid for to affect the stock prices to move market, I am sure it will result in large stock sales after increase in prices.

Shopify has consistently been loss making so it's very hard to see light at the end of tunnel given it is similar to many open source platform and commerce platform. It's just trying to outspend it's way to take over SAP, Adobe and Salesforce commerce offerings, let's see how long it continues.

Someone from shopify's marketing might be working to contain critical comments.
I have seen a similar mechanic in a game called [1] "Smash Hit". The free version would basically just disable saving. Once you paid a few dollars for the premium version, you could save your progress. I liked the model.

It may be, but it also has the benefit of being the correct way to think about it. Because the opposite -- promoting someone before they have proven they can perform at the next level -- is exactly how you get the Peter Principle.
> Presumably it was humans who signed off on the premise of Amazon's Choice in the first place.

On the premise, sure. But on the individual items, I've always assumed "Amazon's Choice" meant "Best for Amazon", i.e. high margin, low number of returns (which would reduce margin).

Not necessarily what I would choose.
I don't understand why we don't pass a Terms-of-Use tax. Require every Terms agreement to be filed electronically with the state and the end-user to pay 10 cents for that service. I think we need to force their business model to be non-free, especially when they are making people agree to things that have a monetary cost either explicitly or externally.
I agree with most of your points, but will note a couple of things:

1) Tools like wasm-pack already generate typescript definitions for your WASM targeting Rust code - it seems like it shouldn't be too painful to write just a couple of particularly hot loops in Rust even if the bulk of your web app is in Typescript.

2) Multi-threaded JS is a non-starter, but we're already seeing experimental support for multi-threaded WASM. Admittedly, web workers let you write something similar to multi-process JS...

3) Less GC pressure, since WASM memory isn't garbage collected. While the scale of things you'd put in a website or typical web app really don't care about this, GC pauses in the single digits of milliseconds can start causing problems for games and other framerate sensitive applications if they cause vsync to be regularly missed.

4) Sharing code between a web demo and a "proper desktop app" via WASM targeting languages like Rust imposes a lot less constraints than a JS targeting language like Typescript (where you now need a full blown JS engine, if not a full blown browser engine ala electron, for the desktop version)

I wouldn't suprise me if WASM never gains widespread adoption for frontend development. But it also wouldn't suprise me if it gets used by a node module or two that eventually get popular, in an attempt to shave off a couple milliseconds, with end users being none the wiser.
Isn't it basically known at this point that insufficient pain medication is very likely to encourage addition? Specifically, if pain medication wears out before the next scheduled dose, so that the patient experiences significant pain and therefore is looking forward to their next does for relief from that pain... well, it seems obvious that that would be a perfect recipe to strengthen dependency on that drug. IIRC that was one of the main criticisms of Oxycontin, that it was claimed to have a longer efficacy period than it actually did, so too-long dosing periods were prescribed, resulting in this effect. (Not to mention all the unnecessary discomfort between doses itself.)
Exactly. It lets you get into the mind of the narrator, and think about what they are saying and why. A really great old testament example of that is comparing Samuel and Kings to Chronicles - they are recounting the sam-ish time and place, but coming at it from totally different angles.
Based on the examples he gives, physicians seem to have a disappointingly unsophisticated response to the word “addiction”

That's because the incentives are not in proportion to the disincentives. Doctors are highly trained, yes, but they adjust their level of discretion in response to liability risk. If the current legal regime treats addiction like the black plague then doctors are going to avoid enabling addicts like the plague, even if that means leaving a lot of legitimate patients in severe pain.
Spotify doesn't care whether your headphones are BT or not.

iOS should be doing audio device discovery and notifying the apps that request it when a new device is found. Whether you plug some headphones or use bluetooth or airplay or ... shouldn't matter here.
By [all consumers' discretionary income they'd be willing to spend] I think the parent meant [all consumers' discretionary income they'd be willing to spend on web content] which is obviously a subset of all their discretionary income. Marketers are peddling tangible useful items, and people will pay a lot more for that than for the ability to read given words on the internet.

The value of Dark Lang lies not just in the programming language and the IDE, but in the holistic experience for backend development it provides, since _all_ of the overhead required to actually move to production and make new releases completely vanishes.

Reducing the entire idea of darklang to "vendor lock in, lol naw" is missing the point, but also kind of nailing it.

By reducing options, you gain the freedom to focus on the problem you set out to solve in the first place.

Of course, it's not a silver bullet right now, but it's an interesting bullet nonetheless.
there's also carrier aggregation, you could multiply that throughput by the number of carrier components provided by the telco (rarely more than 2 or 3).
There is some good perks I think:

- Access to inmense resources and infraestructure you will never see in an startup.
- Access to many experts in many areas.
- The Google stigma: you are googler, that counts for your later enterpreneurship projects.
> In my experience, managers who step into a role that someone else has already occupied tend to get stuck. Those who grab territory and take newly created roles as a company expands tend to move quickly.

Sounds like that could just be because the latter case indicates the company/org is growing quickly and making room for people to grow.
There’s obviously no way to predict what your needs will be in 40 or 50 years. If you don’t own a house, what will your rent be like? Insurance needs? Maybe we will get Medicare opt-in or something like it, but who knows. Will coastal cities even be viable 50 years from now? Florida will be underwater.
Thanks for writing this article @webin. I'm about to launch a new startup myself and it is VERY boring tech. :p I'm running Rails with Sidekiq on Heroku, so I think I have you beat in the boring department. I do a lot of fancier stuff at work but I just don't need it for this product (at least not yet).

I am the only engineer but two non-technical friends (a designer and a lawyer[0]) make up the rest of the company.

Actually, that's not exactly what Joe Armstrong envisioned when he created Erlang, the system.

If you read his 2003[1] thesis, at page 36 he quotes a paper from Jim Gray (who worked at Tandem computers and was a Turing award winner)

Although compiler checking and exception handling provided by programming languages are real assets, history seems to have favored the run-time checks plus the process approach to fault-containment. It has the virtue of simplicity—if a process or its processor misbehaves, stop it

and the on page 37

The idea of “fail-fast” modules is mirrored in our guidelines for programming where we say that processes should only do when they are supposed to do according to the specification, otherwise they should crash.

and then on page 40

Error handling is non-local.

When we make a fault-tolerant system we need at least two physically separated computers. Using a single computer will not work, if it crashes, all is lost. The simplest fault-tolerant system we can imagine has exactly two computers, if one computer crashes, then the other computer should take over what the first computer was doing. In this simple situation even the software for fault-recovery must be non-local; the error occurs on the first machine, but is corrected by software running on the second machine.

So actually the VM crash is a signal: something's gone really bad, don't even try to recover, just let it die and let some other non-local process take over (the OS, some `forever` like script, a process on another machine...).

The profits unlawfully gained by Smith, Nowak, and Jordan seem very small, estimating them from the difference of the deceptive orders and the true orders. In the orders of a few hundreds per year, which I would think is close to nothing for JPMorgan traders. How is it worth The hassle for them to learn to spoof prices?

Cocospirator 2 on the other hand seems to have gained around 10k for a couple of years.

This is assuming they kept the whole profits and not the bank.

Can anybody explain what is the motivation behind this very low numbers? Is the DOJ only releasing a subset of the fraudulent trades?
According to the article Amazon owns 35% of online retail in the US. Google isn't the only search engine, but it has a de facto monopoly on search. When does Amazon hit that same threshold?

Show HN: multi-object-tracker
I would say absolutely. You should be able to take over 5% of the total and never dip into the principal. You might be able to take 7-8% even. But it depends on your cost of living which can vary widely. Not owning your own home yet means rent, and that is usually the most expensive part. If you owned your own home with $1 mil then you should be set. But you want to do more research, so I suggest https://www.getrichslowly.org/, https://www.daveramsey.com/, and https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/blog/. These are all financially conservative resources.

Probably not. He didn't do anything wrong, by the letter of the law. He is allowed to make "overestimated" damage claims, demand money and demand money for his services, cite court decisions that are not final yet, and all the other shenanigans he did, sadly. He seems clever enough to walk the line where he is damn close but not yet lying, e.g. when he talks about the criminal complaint stuff.

Essentially the only ways he could lose his license is if he knowingly lied, especially to the court, behaved grossly negligent towards his client or violated client privilege.
Adding to this, in the same way that privacy specialists struggle to convince the public of the supreme importance of security and privacy, it's difficult for superusers to appreciate the general public's feelings about the trade-offs of advertising—in other words, the general public might never care.

> presumably get their revenues from that discretionary income

This is where you made a mistake. Their revenues comes from spending on necessities, not from discretionary income. Proctor & Gamble's $7 billion a year in advertising is coming from our buying soap and laundry detergent and toilet paper, not what you have left over for movie tickets. The $30 billion a year in medical marketing is coming from insulin and blood pressure pills, not your Netflix subscription. Most consumer spending is on necessities (food, housing, car payment, health/auto/home insurance, mortgage interest, fuel, etc) and those companies do the bulk of the advertising. People cannot choose to spend that money tipping websites instead unless they stop eating, stop taking medication, etc.
More like mineral rights.

I would ask them why they think they deserve one. And if the answer is, because they have been doing doing such a good job for such a long time ... well, I think you can guess what my answer would be.

On the other hand, if they point out occasions where they stepped out of their comfort zone and succeeded, there might be a promotion on the horizon already and I would discuss with them what's still missing for it to happen.

Research on drug addiction points to socioeconomic and cultural factors predicting addiction, not consuming the drug.

See the work of Johann Hari. People become addicts because they’re unhappy with their lives and their environment, not because opioids are inherently addictive. Which shouldn’t be surprising to anyone who has experienced addiction.
Qanon is just a parody of widespread political sentiments. Obviously no one with a Q clearance (which apparently includes Podesta) is a decent person.

The actions of various people acting as a result of the Qanon theories is potentially the result of other craziness that no one would acknowledge. It isn’t unthinkable that the person who shot the head of the Gambino crime family was in some fashion harmed by the Gambinos.

I hope the FBI agents doing full time surveillance on the Gambino head spat out their coffee when they saw what happened.

So, if I read this right, they want privacy-focused tech hipsters to vie for $20M a year to create open source fintech startups that will beat global banks and payment companies on transfer fees while simultaneously improving all social classes' access to the internet.

Here's my solution: chargebacks. You surf a site, and see a preview of some content. To get the full content, you click "buy", and the site communicates with your own preferred online payment processor (OPP) to confirm a payment. The OPP checks your balance and replies if you have the balance requested, and the site then serves up your content. At the end of the month the OPP settles up with each site for what's owed. If you want to get fancy you can implement a whole rules engine so each site can set up subscriptions for users so users can limit how much each site can charge them. You support multiple subscription models so users can pay by a monthly contract or per-click. If everyone keeps their money in the OPPs (ala Paypal) the OPPs end up making tons of money by investing the balance that hasn't been transferred out yet.

Once this is implemented, Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft will become the default OPP, because they still control all the platforms. Hooray open standards.
