Showing VR users awkwardly ignoring friends who are right next to them does run face-first into a talking point I've heard repeatedly from people who reject VR out of hand.

While, I agree with you 100% that it was a poor choice of theme for the video, I've never been impressed with the talking point. It has always been presented to me as if they were arguing that the telephone was an isolating, anti-social device.

"Imagine you were hanging out with someone, having a good time. And, out of nowhere they pull this little 'device' out of their pocket and press it against the side of their face. Then they start walking around, looking around at nothing, acting you aren't even there and having a conversation with nobody! What kind of jerk would do that? Not me! Not ever!"

You would be a jerk if you suddenly cut off a conversation to call someone else out of the blue. That's why people don't do that! With phones, stepping out to take a call is considered situationally OK. But, that's not (yet) a user story for VR. Instead, the common story is that you have some time to yourself, maybe you'll watch TV or browse the internets. But, instead you go into VR where it is very convenient and easy to hang out and do wacky stuff with random people all over to the world. Hopefully, when VR becomes more common, it will be somewhat less random people and somewhat more friends and family that you'd like to see more often but don't because of physical inconveniences (like being located in a separate cities/countries/continents).
That does not seem to be enough to stop it from happening.
> Like, even for giant octopus? How do they get so large, in such a short amount of time?

Usual adult giant octopuses are similar (in weight) to 3 year old humans, so it's not really surprising they get that big over a 3-5 year lifespan.
In Norway, it's not based on the price, but the product type. So TVs in general are said to last at least 5 years. So if you sell a cheap tv that breaks after 4 years, you have to replace it.

This of course means one don't get as much ultra cheap stuff sold, but at the same time most of that stuff is crap, and it's better for the environment to build stuff that lasts.

Top 30 under 30 isnt a meritocracy, its a PR agency circlejerk where they simply are connecting their clients - the “candidates” - with the editorial authorities of the list.

GitHub has one of the worse search experience in the modern history of the internet. It doesn't need fancy ML or DL. Just get the stupid dedupping done, for God's sake. A simple TF-IDF similarity metric would make your search 10,000% better. You even know forks, names of files, folders, number of stars. You have no excuse to so badly that a teenager can beat you by simple handcrafted rules. First learn and do the basics and then come here to talk about your need for ML.

PS: Sorry, I had to get this out. I've spent better part of my productivity in past two years shifting through page number 50 and 100 of undedupped results that GitHub mercylessly throws at you. No one needs to suffer like this.
I got a Lenovo laptop with roughly the same specs, though.
Except of course that possibly the only link between the suspects and the crime is the DNA, they may not have committed anything.

But once such a suspect is lined up the search is over and all that will happen is to look for confirmation rather than exculpation.

So now you are fishing with a net with smaller holes. You're going to catch suspects that look bad because you've selected for that but that still may not have anything to do with the crime you are investigating.

God forbid any of them are minorities and the victim a white person, you're 95% on the road to a conviction.

> I see these DNA database searches as an amazing tool to find criminals and not in any way privacy infringing. And I wish it was more widespread, ideally everyone being required to submit their DNA.

I think I can at least understand the viewpoint of those who favor DNA database searches. But, I don't understand how DNA database searches are not obviously in tension with privacy. Can you explain why you think that DNA database searches are "not in any way privacy infringing"?
Interesting, but I guess that considering that the govt. announced their intention to pass the law regardless of the result of the referendum my question should have been "under what circumstances can you imagine being given a _meaningful_ vote on mass surveillance?"

Teslas have ultrasonic sensors in all directions with about 5m of range. This doesn't help with preventing running into things at highway speeds, but certainly on parking lots. So it has a fallback to avoid collisions while in summon mode.
I am also buffled. Teslas make all other feel like a flip phones compared to a smart phone. After owning a Tesla driving an ICE car feels like going back in time. Even for long trips I prefer to take a Tesla, even though I also own 2 gas cars too.
The recourse is to move to another team or company.
Agree. Instantly felt like "seen it before and it wasn't fun then, so it won't be fun now".

But Dirt Rally on the other hand... That is a different story. VR is great when realism is the goal. Games in zero g environments are cool too.
The thing you're describing where people latch on to outrage in the social media age isn't an effect exclusive to the left. I think that human tribalism and group think in a huge instant forum like the modern internet inevitably lead to some bad conclusions and disproportionate outcomes. I think we have to find a way to give deeply considered and measured commentary the share of our collective attention it deserves. Upvotes and downvotes and likes and shares don't serve that purpose well enough.
I was commenting on the hilariously bad choice of analogy.

Sure, but that’s ultimately a per-capita performance metric whose reduction might be acceptable if costs for remote come down, much like accepting that an open office has an acceptable per-capita efficiency decrease. I am perfectly capable of pairing over video chat, even if it is not ideal.

VGA Output in 7 [Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA] Slices. Really. – Victor Yurkovsky
Requires a whole lot more criminal energy and risk. Laws don't work by making it impossible to commit crime, they make it hard (by regulating what you can do) and risky (by setting up punishment if you get caught).

Adding hurdles won't get rid of the phenomenon completely, but it will certainly decrease it.

Stallman never seemed like a regular guy to me. I’ve met people who are “neurally atypical” and they have weird/bad behaviour.

There was even a case in Melbourne where a slightly mentally impaired man was accused of sexual harassment because he’d try and be friendly to everyone and it came off wrong.

I’d like to think we’d have some amount of compassion for these people and help them function in society.
Tempest prognosticator
>He's harassed and bothered dozens of women in and outside of MIT.

I also saw those accusations, but I didn't see any proof of the harassment except one girl that said Stallman asked her on a date. And bothering? you really think you can go for 60 years on this earth without bothering any person?

To me its a bit tricky to summarize, so its a long answer.

During the build, Gatsby compiles JSX and saves the result in a temporal folder. Some time after, it spawns several subprocesses that execute the mentioned resulting JS files (to render each page in the site).

What I meant with "the JSX code is hard to debug" is:

* The JSX code is actually run inside subprocesses, and NodeJS allows to debug a process if its run with the `--inspect` command line argument. But I did not found documentation in the Gatsby website about how to change the arguments of these subprocesses. Note that this only applies to production builds (development mode executes all JSX in the browser).

* From the text editor perspective, the breakpoints are defined in the original JSX source files, not the built ones. I understand that in theory line/column mapping can be done using map files, but I did not have time yet to investigate the cleanest way to make the IDE, Docker (not actually a Gatsby requirement), the temporal Webpack build directory, and Gatsby subprocesses to work together.
It basically looks like an intro to a Black Mirror episode...

I do all my work on desktop workstations; I have a little burner laptop I lug around to meetings, but all it really does is browsing and outlook.

Having a real keyboard, mouse, and four 27" monitors is something I will never leave behind at this point. All that screen real estate to spread out over helps enormously. I can have a browser with our application pulled up, Visual Studio, another browser with doc, Webstorm with the front-end code, SSMS connected to the database, an email client, Notepad++ with logfiles, all the different chat clients I have to use, and more if I really need to, all on screen and available at the same time. I don't have to alt-tab around, I just look and it's there.

>> Are you self hosting your email now, or are you using a provider like ProtonMail?

I switched to FastMail, and and added an MX record for the domain I already had to alias the mail adres to that domain. So now I could easily switch to some other e-mail provider at any time in the future. But I’ve been totally happy with FastMail so far.

I did consider self-hosting but decided it’s just too much of a hassle to get decent spam filtering and security set up.

Once you are used to highly regularised way of working, anything kludgier is pain.

And you spend half your time wondering, "who would allow such a thing to exist like this, where is the pattern?"

This just further erodes at the stack of items you hold in your head while trying to process all the edge cases and other unexpected crap.

One thing though, and I have no idea if relevant, but many people get anxious or struggle because they don't breath out enough.

Especially when a little confronted in some way, they unconsciously keep on topping up on breath without fully breathing out.

Then they find they can't breath in enough, a little panic starts and goes from there.

The number of people I have come across that were "topped up" like this is amazing, and many did not even realise until it was pointed out to them.

Three deep, push out breaths, and start again - fresh oxygen, room to breath, often calming and feels a whole lot better.
A while back he was blocking things like, a package manager for emacs (that does exist now) and making GCC able to export an AST for external tools to manipulate (in particular for emacs to do semantic editing of code).

In both cases since it would make it easier for closed source software to make use of GPL software.

At every advance in communications and information exchange there's that "this isn't right" feeling shared by half of the people from generations that didn't grow up with it.

Not that I disagree with you. There are going to be all kinds ugly side effects when VR worlds go mainstream (maybe not Facebook's but eventually). Remember the height of MMORPGs when people were dying of dehydration, murdering each other in the real world and other craziness?

But putting the future of the human race aside for a sec... this is some of the most tone deaf advertising I've seen in a while.

It's almost as if they listed all the major issues that turn people off of VR and then tried to make them selling points.

My money is on "partially true". China is killing lots of people, be they Han or not, religious or not. So it's "technically correct", but saying it as if they exclusively targeted minorities is misleading.
> An no, you don't tip in Europe, even spare change

Highly dependent on the region. In Germany and Austria [the only countries that I'm sure about :)], you're not as expected to tip as in the US for example, but it's still customary to do so.

If your service was bad, you don't tip. If it was okay, you may or may not tip a small amount. If it was great, yes, absolutely, you do tip.

> i.e. wages are very high in CH

That's probably because wages in CH are very high in general. Kind of evens out, seeing as the cost of living is equally high compared to most other countries in central Europe.
> You take on the risk when you pre-pay for services you haven't yet recieved.

There are perhaps cases where this is true, when purchases are informed the the sketchy financial state of the company in advance and have the information necessary to assume the risk. It is ridiculous to assert that regular customers, who are purchasing an Airline ticket in the standard way that almost every, has done due diligence and should be treated the same as creditors who are given detail financial information.

> Similarly when you eat at a restaurant and pay at the end the restaurant is providing you credit. Most people don't think of it this way because the transactions go smoothly and the distinction is irrelevant. But it does affect what rights you have if something were to go wrong.

I think most places consider "dine and dash" a crime. You go to jail for theft because it is not a loan. Do you know of any jurisdictions that actually treat this as a loan?

How to Make the Most of Apple’s New Privacy Tools in iOS 13
as an owner and investor in Tesla, i find it best to avoid hacker news threads tesla focused due to the lack of ignorance and closed minded people who think they know about this company from all of the negative press that they read about the company - which generally is either months old, or talking about garbage. It always ends up this way, for tesla stuff stick with the forums ( tesla, module three owners club, etc ) and reddit.

it’s unfortunate because i’m sure there are some cool thoughts and idea out there on HN but it’s always ruined by negativity. in which, watch this comment get downvoted to oblivion.
Telling someone you're going to kill yourself if they don't date you is clearly just trying to be friendly.

I too am autistic, and it does not excuse this behaviour. Yes people should have compassion and patience with neurodivergent people, and everyone has been with Stallman. This is not one incident, but a string of incidents that show an underlying pattern.
> And the disturbing part is that I am not even sure why - on its face value it seems great

And that is exactly the reason why it is not the right direction. Think about it. Why would one choose a virtual world over the new one? Because apparently the real world is not good enough. On the surface the virtual looks better, but if you engage in it, I think you will probably find out that it is as boring and hard as the real one.

People have lived for centuries without it. In those years there have both been plenty of fulfilled lives and unfulfilled lives. Clearly, the shiny happy virtual world is not a prerequisite for a fulfilled live. Now think about what made those lives fulfilling. Whatever the answer, it can be done in the real world. It probably is also not superficial and also not shiny. So trading the current world for the shiny virtual world is not the ultimate solution to whatever it is that you are looking for. It can be a tool, like the telephone is. But not more.

Yes. This article[1], so far as I can tell, contains the full nuance of the story. He claimed (or very strongly insinuated) that if a minor sex trafficking victim presented herself as "entirely willing", then a man who had sex with her is not guilty of sexual assault. I believe that's what I said in my comment.

This is a really good thought and I would be OK with Apple extending the warranty on "professional" products instead of full Apple Care.
It wasn't just a cluster of comments. Stallman not only harassed women and made them uncomfortable, he outright fired a transgender woman from the FSF for reporting her transphobic coworker who kept harassing her. Not to mention his refusal to respect the pronouns of trans, queer, and nonbinary folks.

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth when people leap to the defense of people in positions of institutional and cultural power who behave in a way that disempowers and dehumanizes marginalized people.
