It's a good time to remember that the vast majority of people never use Twitter. The media has had a fixation with the platform for as long as I can remember, which has helped it gain an unearned reputation as being relevant.

It's not relevant. It's the trash heap of the internet. I can't understand why anyone would continue to spend time on it when it's become universally known that bots and trolls run the show.

Um, money and power.

dang, I don't think sig was pursuing a flame war, I was about to comment I thought he had been half caught by this, beliw

I think sig slipped on, but didn't entirely fall into a implicated reversal debating trap that was abruptly set up and without the supporting conversation necessary to be effective.

the polemicist desires to eradicate from debate certain facts inconvenient to their propaganda, so they construct or try to construct a trap where their opponent appears to be denying incontrovertible facts, whereby data important to the polemic, such as a arbitrary correlation between wealth and white males with the initials, L and B [edit, to add this end clause] typically citing a edge case such as Lloyd Blankfein whom here anothervsignwould be presented as dismissing as irrelevant, and the bias the polemicist aspires to is the audience takes it that the rational debater has inadvertently averred he thinks the CEO of Goldman is not any outlier in socio economic terms that the polemicist will move to frame to so suit, forthwith.

I hope I not of of order I spoke because I didn't suspect sig of ideology or flaming, so I gave my view.

> taught themselves to code long before they even knew CS was a thing

It seems like things are changing a bit, but back when I was in college in the late 80’s/early 90’s, this was almost everybody in the CS program. I don’t think I took a CS course with anybody who didn’t grow up banging on a C64 or Apple II or TRS-80 and hadn’t figured out quite a bit about software development concepts before they even learned algebra.

It does seem like the ubiquity of computers is changing this, though: computers are everywhere, but they’re so much more like consumer devices now that they’re paradoxically hard to figure out _how_ to program.

Serious question time:

Do the auto manufacturers actually have in their R&D pipeline engines that achieve California's 54.5 mpg target that they can bring to market before 2026?

Europe's measuring standards are very different from here and the "80-mpg" economy figures you see touted actually work out to be more like 50 real world...similar to what happens here.

Auto manufacturers aren't set to increase standards for the EU until 2030.

If you're not paying for it with your money, then you have to pay with your time: public healthcare systems, like those in Europe are known for the long wait times for patients requiring surgery, or other costly procedures.

Also, traveling to the US for treatment is still a thing, because new, advanced treatments are developed and first implemented in the US, so all that money spent give you something in return.
I am using mint. Not trying to compare it with Google Fi because it offers only the basic features: text, voice and data (no fancy features like international roaming). But when people say they cut down a lot on phone bills, I want to point out that I spend only $15 on my phone bill, $30 for the entire family (two people).
I never use wi-fi, travel a lot with lots of photos and sharing/viewing videos on Instagram, and have instant backups for everything.
Existing laws allow charging journalists for publishing classified information. There exists no freedom of the press protection regarding such publication. People seem to think that the Pentagon Papers case somehow created such a protection when it did not. In that case the Supreme Court ruled that the government couldn't prevent publishing of such information. It didn't rule that those that did couldn't be prosecuted under the Espionage Act. In fact several of the majority said in their briefs that the government could do exactly that.
> For example, you can always find an obscure website "proving" climate change is a hoax.

But according to the assumption then you check their own sources and their validity. Also while the "climate change is an hoax" is little more than a conspiracy theory in terms of validity, some prediction have been proven false. All together climate change is an undeniable truth, singularly each prediction is far from undeniable on average.

> If you now distrust reputable sources

Considering the frequency of retractions on reputable sources (especially in bombshell articles e.g. the last scoop on Kavanaugh where the NYT forgot to mention that the main witness apparently did not remember the event) you are better off with a weighted average of various source where you try and factor in each source bias.

The officer can read the less visible VIN. But more importantly, cops aren't everywhere, many laws are structured with this fact in mind. Having a visible license plate enables the bystander or witness of a crime to safely report it so that the accused can be located and investigated/cited/apprehended later by professionals.
No, I'm not saying that, evidenced by the fact that I didn't say that, and that saying that would be stupid.

WiMax was the (pre)4G implementation using the old Nextel spectrum (a major reason why Sprint was an investor).

I had the EVO 4G on WiMax, had amazing speed, especially near the highways before anybody else did. Also made for a great hand warmer.

The point is that 5g may provide the product that most people want when they want fiber; have less additional infrastructure cost, and the wireless penetration doesn't matter if we consider a base station -- or a physical install (as required by fiber or coax)
Organizing Skid Row
Well racism connotations permeat everything in US, it's overheated/taboo topic there. Not so much in the rest of the world, see two top dictionary definitions from google:

To punish (a person) without legal process or authority, especially by hanging, for a perceived offense or as an act of bigotry.

(Law) (tr) (of a mob) to punish (a person) for some supposed offence by hanging without a trial.

Nothing about racism here. The only thing that doesn't apply to Stallman is that he has not been hanged. That's quite important one. Though words are sometimes used not in their literary meaning (like "I'm killing it" -- well hopefully not).

BTW from what I've gathered this entire thing happened because Stallman was pedantic and has written something along "let's be precise with words, I think what happened was not rape, but statuatory rape because of such and such".
I have addressed this in another comment. Yes, one can certainly argue that RMS ought to have been cognizant of his social faults, and perhaps his moral failings as well. But there's at least a colorable argument to be made the other way, given how he was (to quote the article) coddled while at MIT. (Keep in mind that until very recently, MIT did not even have a policy on e.g. employee training wrt. sexually appropriate behavior in the workplace, if we are to believe activists' claims! There's plenty of institutional failure to go around in that place. So, no, I'm not going to blame the guy in the absence of deeper knowledge about the actual facts of the matter.)

the mother probably gets antibiotics before caesarean. Does that antibiotic make it into the baby? That would mean that beside not getting the good vaginal mix of bacteria (that mix among other benefits seems to be able to control candida yeast growth which is a big deal on its own), the bacteria set that the baby already possesses gets hit by the antibiotic, a double whammy of sort.
Purely anecdotal, but my experience with Fi has been far less than ideal and I'm about ready to switch to another network.

Right now I'm about a week into fighting with support, so far unsuccessfully, to get back $40 in charges for device protection on a device that was deactivated months ago. Their response: "it's your duty to remove device protection when deactivating a device."

This is after more than a year of struggling with WiFi tethering issues. I've had a ton of problems with the hotspot dropping WiFi connections and other weird networking problems where the phone suddenly stops routing traffic correctly (I suspect it's something to do with the network swap). In the ~10 times I've contacted them about the issue, support has been absolutely terrible. They usually take about 30 minutes before they even figure out what tethering is, only to suggest I install OS updates or swap out my phone for the nth time.

Yup. Super simple. There won't be years of litigation and tons of wasted human effort because of Trump's bad faith temper tantrum.
The federal government has the right to regulate interstate commerce, though, right? Since many or most of these cars are made in other states then sold in California it seems like a pretty clear situation of interstate commerce.

And it seems like it would be a mess if you had "Ohio cars" that could be driven in Ohio but not California, and "California cars" that could be driven in California but not in Texas, etc etc.
"the special rule was put in because California had standards on emissions before the rest of the country"

No, we were granted the exception because of the unique geography of the LA Basin and the pollution that it naturally traps and holds which required stricter standards than the minimum the Federal government was allowing.
Slightly off topic. I’ve been looking to get a Moto G6, a phone available through the Google Fi store ($99), but it is permanently “out of stock”. I assume this is on purpose as Google wants you to purchase a more expensive phone — a bit of a bait and switch. Anyway I did manage to get a “blush” version of the phone yesterday, which is now again out-of-stock. I’ve been waiting to get the black version of the phone with no luck. I even registered to be notified for availability but that evidently does not work since they never notified us concerning the "blush" version of the Moto G6.
Not sure about that copyright argument holding water, especially across multiple jurisdictions - I would think some argument could be made that the data was gathered with a robots.txt that allowed it and as such it can be made available.

Actually as I've noted before other archive initiatives often ignore robots.txt, for example the Danish National Archive ignores it and is legally allowed to for gathering all relevant Danish material.

idk man, I feel kinda ok with dismissing antivax/essential oils/healing crystals theories. Especially considering how many children got harmed (some to the point of death) by "crunchy karens" who decided that they know better than modern medicine and doctors.

While every topic deserves to be questioned and not dismissed, some have been argued to death already, and I would feel ok with not getting into an argument about the merit of vaccines for a while.

The question is, is this the kind of activity China would outsource to this quality? This recklessly on a sensitive topic like HK so close to 80th anniversary. Was it that time-sensitive / desperate to allow something this amateurish to roll out. They're paying millions buying advertisement in foreign newspapers, I'd expect an social median influence operation would get more funding than 100 poorly cultivated bot accounts.

Services for hitting western social media KPIs are dime a dozen, but a private industry for foreign influence campaigns not so much. Maybe those Estonian fake news kids. Would be interesting to see what that tender would look like though, at least they're paying more than 50c.
22GB unlimited and then slower after.
Java devs saw that "abc" + "def" involved expensive String concatenation, so as a performance improvement they pro-actively, and effectively manually, changed to use explicit StringBuffer concatenations.

When the compiler switched to generate StringBuilder (unsynchronized) concatenations for "abc" + "def" nobody benefited, because they had already changed to use StringBuffer (synchronized).

Now they had to go an undo all of their hard, manual, optimization work.

I feel like the same would/might play out here.
DNS Records Part 8: Examining SOA Records
The "Clusters Created" metric seems to imply that every deployed database sends back tracking information to Yugabyte's servers.

I've had to look a bit in the docs to find this page, which seems to confirm it: https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/manage/diagnostics-reportin...

As someone who has seen this tracking-by-default issue play out a few times, I'd recommend having a clear notice on the installation page that includes details on how to opt-out.
I believe the compiler can't do that, since the bounds check panic is a side effect that can be observed - the message tells which index that failed the check! For that reason, non-elided checks will not be reordered.

However, I believe a future Rust RFC could turn that around and validate the idea that in some cases such things could change execution order, even if it has noticeable side effects.

(No idea if it's technically feasible!)
> didn't know their altitude

Presumes they felt they could trust their instruments under the circumstances of the emergency. Asking ATC for your altitude when you're unsure doesn't seem unreasonable?

> didn't throttle back

I think not throttling back when you have an unreliable airspeed indicator (as these flights did) is actually a checklist item. If you don't know how fast you're going, you don't know how far above stall speed you are.

Anyway, this seems really crappy. Saying that the pilots couldn't deal with runaway trim seems very unfair when MCAS placed them in an aerodynamic situation where the runaway trim procedure doesn't actually work because you can't supply enough physical strength to the trim wheels and you've had to disable the motor because it was behaving maliciously.
I've been keeping an eye on GoogleFi for a while now because I really hate AT&T. Every time there's a GFi announcement on HN, I take another look.

It was more tempting when I traveled internationally more. But now I'm down to just a few trips a year, and I don't ever call home. So this GFi unlimited plan isn't cost-competitive with my AT&T plan when taxes are added.

Maybe next time. It seems to be a good fit for certain profiles, and people on HN who have that profile seem to really like it. But it doesn't seem ready for mass adoption yet. It's certainly not the "disruptor" we'd expect from SV.
China should scrap the GFW and unleash them all, I guess the English-speaking world would have to build a GFW to fend off all Chinese netizens then.

Once I started using "request policy", then eventually uMatrix, I found I no longer needed to use an ad blocker.

Especially if one browses with javascript disabled.

I occasionally do occasionally see ads, but now they tend to be non intrusive, and for sites I frequently read, can be avoided w/o the use of a blocker (and the regex engines they tend to depend upon).
Ting is just great. So funny to see TUCOWS - "The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software" from decades ago - morphed into its current form. Great example of the moat from exceptional customer service, I wouldn't even consider Fi for a second, outside of a trying it out on a secondary device.
That looks interesting, but I wonder how accurate the flight behavior is when they are not including any atmospheric dynamics. The wind in the atmospheric boundary layer is characterized by strong semi-random fluctuations that arise from the turbulent interactions of the air with the surface. These fluctuations occur on scales both larger and smaller than a drone, so they should have a significant effect on its aerodynamics.

Someone recently made the observation that we should not describe people who did terrible things in the past as monsters, because it allows us to rationalize away our own action or inaction.
"We could never do <whatever bad thing our ancestors did> because they were monsters and we are not." Better to keep in mind that they were very much human, just as we are, and take the history lesson as a warning. And we just got a shot across the bow.
So in other words these telescopes are measuring "the dog that didn't bark" rather than actually detecting gravitational waves? Much like we infer exoplanets from deviations of their stars' behaviors from what we would expect given no orbiting planets?
I've yet to see any law that requires a specific feature. Usually they're worded like "has a control for preventing unauthorized access to accounts". The definition of unauthorized, access, accounts, and even control are left to auditors and each bank defines them differently. I spent 2 months implementing something with absolutely zero security value, but the bank's auditor was insisting so we had no choice.

I don't remember any data mining projects that weren't explicitly anti-fraud, but that was years ago and things may have changed since. One project I recall was able to proactively reach out to banks and inform them of compromised accounts based on things we learned from other banks. Pretty cool stuff; kinda wish I had stayed there longer.
Here's the original report linked in the article:

Gravitational waves are indeed everywhere. If the early universe underwent inflation, they should be everywhere. Any object orbiting another object emits gravitational waves. These exotic events, however, are the only gravitational waves that are observable using the terrestrial light interference technique (LIGO and Virgo). A space based mission would be sensitive in a different frequency range (satellites bouncing light off one another over millions of kilometers). The primordial gravitational waves from inflation might be observed indirectly -- there was much excitement about the BICEP telescope observing indirect evidence of these gravitational waves, but I believe that other explanations have come forth.

It’s not about rational, every president disagrees with the previous one to some degree. I mean the point of the political system is to make changes they believe in.

However, the world is a chaotic place so no president can actually remove the legacy of the previous one. Revert all policies on day one, and the next president reverts all yours in an endless cycle that’s not a legacy. The actual legacy is the impact of your choices.
Remember when friends and family visited each other unannounced?

I remember when it was considered rude, yes. I don't know where that guy grew up, but Mom's in the middle of making supper, Dad's in the garage, I'm working on homework, and we're just supposed to drop everything because you can't pick up a phone first? No, unlike the video, when I'm in my underwear with unkempt hair, covered in Cheetos dust from a CoD marathon, I am not jumping for joy if the doorbell rings.

Before mobile phones, exceptions were made. "Hey, I live two towns over, but was in the neighborhood unexpectedly...I hope now is not a bad time." But one made note of the fact that it is an unannounced visit.
