I just watched that and at the end they state that you can't buy it because it's subject to UK export controls. The Vantablack website confirms this:

Assuming it isn't because of it's chemical compositions, why would this be controlled?
Okay, support every CSS & JS DOM/API feature without doing so. Create your own browser, and get people to actually use it.

Not stalling on takeoff is pilot 101. If an aircraft is prone to it I personally do not want layers of software hiding the issue. It's practically a law of nature that software is full of bugs.

Not all locks are trivial to pick, but the common consumer ones are (speaking from experience -- I've been a recreational lockpicker for years).

But recreating through a photo counts as a low-skill attack. Not as low-skill as raking a lock or using bump keys, but it does make low-skill attacks viable on moderately-or-better secure locks.
It's the price you pay when being the first to try something out. You figure out all the issues for the next generation.

For the majority of professional Americans, we receive our pay via direct deposit so we never see a pay check. The working lower-class still uses pay checks since they're paid on a weekly basis. I think when margins are thinner, it's cheaper to write checks than to set up direct deposit.

Ask HN: Swift Without Apple Resources?
I like swift as a language, I like the community, I like what's happening with it, where it's going and I'm especially hopefull about tensorflow and swift. I'm struggling to find resources that don't just teach how to make Iphone apps with it.

I've been learning some, but I don't love xcode, and I think this language could do and be a lot more than just something to make apps with. The thing is though, I'm struggling to find good resources about how to do that. So I thought I'd throw it out there and see what HN knows that I don't.

Thanks all.
I'm mystified that not more people are offering remote possibilities when hiring for Clojure. There are some really great people out there, but the likelihood that they live in your neighborhood is low.

Geography seems like an arbitrary constraint to me. Nothing about it increases the probability of getting a better candidate.
Can't you set it to go to standby after some time? Then it would save energy during the night (or whenever else you aren't using it) as well as at weekends.
People became immune to UAC because they saw it everywhere, and were trained that it was safe to ignore. Users don't ignore novel warnings, at least not when they're sufficiently noticeable.

If you try to visit a site in Google Chrome that Google thinks is hosting malware, they pop up a huge red message saying the site will harm your computer. There is a continue link, but... well, I don't have access to any analytics on this, but I would guess not many people visit those sites.
Ok, we've changed the title to that of the page. Submitted title was "Gaslighting as a Service".
> Many Republicans are non-religious like myself and align themselves closer to the views of the founding fathers. We simply see the rampant corruption in government and propose it is a better solution to limit governmental power as opposed to increasing it.

Surely the nomination of Donald Trump in 2016 should call into question how large of a subset of the Republican party this represents.
>long term subtle effects

The longer term, and subtler the effect is, the safer a substance is. My educated guess is that microplastics are going to cause a lot fewer human deaths and ingury than any of the following natural stuff:

Bees, coffee (see acrylamide), peanuts, mosquitoes, arsenic, mushrooms, and bodies of water.
Because the guy on the plane responsible for the data testified on camera that he was instructed to grab the the "bricks" (specialized hard drives) immediately upon landing and they were then confiscated and quickly flown off of the carrier rather than being stored in the safe as per usual.

None of these brands are known to me but I believe I've seen San Pelegrino in the south of Europe, the balkans.

Iirc their bottle is a thick stiff bottle type, of the same type that my favorite bottled mineral water Ramlösa uses.

Maybe someone could confirm this.

Whenever I see bottled water in american TV it's always that cheap wrinkly bottle. That type is always cheaper here in Sweden.

Depending on where you get it, the difference between a cheap wrinkly soft plastic bottle and a thick stiff plastic bottle of water can be 100%. From 10kr to 20kr.
It's pretty mental that the US still uses cheques for paying employees. I'm 26 and have never been given a cheque and all payments have been electronic.
It's not just the issue of RAM, but that dedupe is only attainable with the online DDT method. There is no offline deduping at the block level, and of course related annoying things like no COW between filesystems.
3. Who had a simulator that simulated MCAS upset?

4. Which is not at all what happens with runaway trim. Also runaway trim that pilots are trained on is a consistent and relatively slow trim. The MCAS upset form is intermittant, and can be but isn't always, aggressive and comes with a ton of other data in the form of various instrumentation disagree warnings and possibly stick shaker going off which NEVER happens in a runaway trim situation.

6. Boeing's design and US-centric expectation of pilots didn't prevent US Air 427 from crashing. Literally everyone in the world expects pilots won't pull back on the yoke at stall. Yet these U.S. pilots did that. Colgan Air 3407, same thing, captain pulled back on the yoke during a stall making the stall worse, recovery impossible. Both accidents, each pilot had more than 1500 hours experience.

In US Air 427, the pilots aren't centrally blamed because the failure mode was a) caused by an airplane defect, a servo failure, b) the airplane's subsequent behavior was so abrupt and aggressive that the startle factor was pretty much not that surprising.

So why is it that the standard should be different for ET302 in particular? But also LNI043 and LNI610? Why would the blame not centrally be on Boeing even if the pilots made some mistakes, just like U.S. pilots have also made some mistakes yet weren't blamed as the proximate cause? And what mistakes did ET302 pilots make other than trusting electric trim being reenabled wouldn't immediately try to murder them?
The problem I am running into with Angular is there is no middle ground.

On one hand, you can yarn install and ng create and you've got a project.

On the other hand, the largest software company on earth uses it.

In the middle is a wasteland. I've worked with it for years and have been waiting for Google to document to the angular compiler (angular/angular not the angular/angular-cli with a million webpack presets). To this day there remains zero documentation other than source code. https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/29623

They need money. They lost around 404 million in 2nd qtr. That's no loose couch change.
I'm sorry, but like I already stated, both tweets you linked were published after the initial story went viral. I'm not saying these people are lying, I'm saying I tend to take such revelations with a grain of salt after reading "trust me, I'm lying", I highly recommend it if you've got a few spare hours. In short, blogs, popular twitter accounts and so on tend to lie and spread misinformation in order to gain more followers. I don't know these people, I don't know if whatever they claim is credible, thus I don't automatically assume they speak the truth.
I don't recall ever saying either of those things.
It has to do around intercepting the response body and resume vs edit wording. I'll try to submit an issue soon with more details.
"Cachet ultimately decided to cancel all of those reversals and absorb that $26 million hit, which it is now trying to recover through the courts."

So for small apps, the final bundle size is significantly smaller since there's no framework "runtime" code included. What about large apps though?
This is absolutely a gaslighting, OP. The linked website even mentioned "gaslighting" several times.
You might've missed this or maybe your original perception of the concept of gaslighting was wrong.
But why waste everyone's time with all that noise?

The scarcity of the coupon diminishes the discount and wastes real people's lives on triviality.

I'd rather maximize profit by delivering more to my customers, not by extracting more for the same.
There were multiple jets scrambled, they all tracked the objects, with radar, infrared video, high-def video, and laser range finding. Why are people so stubborn about this?
Yeah, a lot of places offer direct deposit. Then some employers even offer like some type of prepaid debit cards with your pay loaded on it, I guess for the unbanked.
I was curious if the micro-plastics could be coming from the bottles they are packaged in. The article says...

It's not clear how the plastic is getting into the bottled water — whether it's the water source itself or the air or the manufacturing and bottling process.

"Even the simple act of opening the cap could cause plastic to be chipping off the cap," Mason said.

I think it's easy to assume it's from the water source, & or a low quality filtration process, but it could very well be from the same bottle you are holding.

I suspect it's a combination of both. Is it possible some of the brands with higher counts use a lower quality plastic for the bottle & cap? This also makes sense to me since San Pellegrino has the lowest profile, and often comes in glass.
Oh, I’m sure many a traditional gaslighter had every intention of helping their victim.

The issue I take is with the complete lack of informed consent at play here. I’m not willing to see that as a positive. The toxic behavior in secretly manipulating for “good” far outweighs any altruism in my book.
I'm not arguing in favor of churn, but in fairness TOML is at its core a cleaned-up/standardized INI file. Not exactly the new kid on the block.
Interns and apprenticeships should be paid too. They should be paid a market rate that is enough to live comfortably on.

Not sure how you can argue against the simple fact that people need to be paid a decent, fair wage. At all levels of your career, including your first job. A startup doesn't get a pass just as the government shouldn't get a pass for "mission based" worked. Everything and everyone has a mission, but that is separate from the fact people need to be paid (& treated) fairly.
Another way to think about it is offering sales, coupons, etc allow a retailer to offer a lower price floor for their goods, which expands the market for the retailer.

In other words...

Person A: Price sensitive shopper who won't pay more than $2.00 for an Avocado under any circumstance.

Person B: Convenience sensitive shopper who will pay up to $4 for an Avocado.

The grocery store can price using one of two methods... 1) offering the same price to all shoppers, or 2) offering a higher price to most shoppers so that they can offer a lower price to price sensitive shoppers (via coupons, arbitrary sale dates, etc).

With method #1, the grocery store can only sell Avocados to Person B because their prices are permanently higher than Person A is willing to pay. But with method #2, the grocery store can sell to both people because they've created a situation where a less price sensitive person subsidizes the cost of the product purchased by another more price sensitive person. The grocery store makes more money with method #2 in this example (at least hypothetically).

I think the key is realizing that people value things differently. Some people don't look at prices when they shop. Some do. Some people only shop when they think they're saving money, some don't care. Some people value convenience + time more than price, some are the reverse.

Obviously this example doesn't really apply to the first part of your comment about "Grief economy", just the 2nd part about coupons + pricing.
I would rate myself high on spatial intelligence based on my love of solving puzzles, and anecdotally, my perfect score on that portion of military testing.

However, I will admit that as I age, my interest in arbitrary puzzles has declined. I much more enjoy putting together puzzles of scenes or artwork I find attractive.

Funny enough, I would say I used to do just as you describe - rearrange carloads of things or otherwise challenge myself for whatever reason to come in "under budget" on space and time. It's probably from sheer exhaustion that my drive for doing so diminished.

Your closing thoughts inspired me to search for 'isomorphic projection'; that led me to find 'graph isomorphism' [1]. I have not dived deep into that particular page, but the image of Graph H is very interesting as it illustrates what I see in my head when trying to distill software.

Someone needs to do a good xkcd like visual of the relative energy and carbon footprint of things. You can really see a surge of honest yet weird questions like this from people because there has just really been no good accounting and communication to give people a frame of reference.

Personally this is the one I visualize and use as a mental rubric when people ask about individual behavior options:
https://i2.wp.com/shrinkthatfootprint.com/wp-content/uploads...
but its a decade old and "average american" centered.

I think it would really help both better decision making and better conversations if people understood that there is no one answer to any of these questions. You just have to rank things by footprint and start at your top. If you're doing things that are #7 on your own footprints list instead of things that are #1 - #3 then you're not being an engineer, you're fretting.
Maybe you could say that the are obviously not from this world...as many of the piolets have said.
Alrighty, after tinkering yesterday an opportunity came up to use this for real work! And helped us mock testing for a bad JSON response we are seeing on a remote server, but mocked it locally for better error logging. (gave shoutout to HTTP Toolkit here > https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/vets-websi...)

This just earned a subscription, will get it processed soon! Thanks again, a breeze to use!
Better avoid Airbus, then, because there's a massive control law between the pilots and the actuators to create a "do what I mean" interface with envelope protection and all kinds of characteristics tamed.

Boeing has mostly avoided that. MCAS is kind of an unusual form of control augmentation as far as Boeing is concerned.
Oh yeah... I've also had a few HDDs fail too... Two that were in Raid-1 within a week or so of each other (before the RMA for the first drive came back).

Aside, kernel (5.3) and drivers (mesa 19.3) are all updated, can finally drop in the rx5700xt card I'd been sitting on and play with it. Amazing how many things are working without issue via Steam's Proton (Wine, dxvk, etc)
Neither of the first two are options... at all realistically, nither uranium nor thorium exist in anything below a large planetary size body in any quantity:

And shipping up unrefined ore is also a bit of a ludicrous idea for mass reasons and the rocket equation alone. You do realize you can isolate a nuclear reactor core from explosions on rockets right? What catastrophic failures are you attempting to design your solution of avoiding a nuclear reactor around?
Which leaves us option (a): bar bad communicators from the scientific profession.
Then any media service which lets a user deliver a message enables gaslighting. HN is a gaslighting service because it allowed you to deliver denigrating content to me.

No, gaslighting is systematically disorienting a person by staging confusing events, and blaming that confusion on the target themself. A one-way pipeline of targeted ads is not gaslighting, unless you call your wife crazy when she complains about all these weird ads she's seeing. But that's not what this service is automating.
Why limit it to credit cards, airfare, and car rental? Why shouldn't this apply to every product and service sold, period?
Tell HN: Lite.cnn.com Is Down

It's fine if you ask that question in a way that makes it clear you're asking it in general. But if you're talking to a specific person and you say that, many if not most readers will hear it as a personal attack, so please don't bring it up that way on HN.

Both Lenin and Mao didn't deploy a Marxist system. They did deploy an autocratic system under the guise of Marxism. At best, we can speculate that autocracy is a failure mode of attempts to install Marxism.

That's the problem with all social theories - running experiments on them takes darn long, usually results in piles of disenfranchised and/or dead people, and is in no way repeatable. (Frontier Thesis kind of addresses that by insulating the core of society from the experiments harsh results, but... you still have harsh results)
Distilled water and glass bottles are the way to go. You can get a small distiller for your home relatively cheaply.
The service is fucked up. If a store sells machine guns and lollipops, the lollipops do not make it child-safe.
It's just the best, and only option I could get. You need to be federally licensed.

The bail bondsperson did not even have an office. When I did get out and had to pay her she asked me to meet her in a Harris Teeter parking lot. She pulled up in an Audi R8 spyder. It's ridiculous. There was absolutely no way I could be considered a flight risk. I only did it because my parents were on vacation and I was responsible for keeping their pet alive for 3 weeks. It came down to a dead animal or $9,500.
If you look at diagrams of the International Space Station you'll see they have rather large radiators, so it does work in space. They're always positioned in shade to radiate heat most efficiently.

Amazing! Rust isn't all it was cracked up to be.
You're wasting a fair bit. You can get a qualitative sense by feeling how warm the fan exhaust is: I use my cheese grater Mac Pro to stop my uninsulated home office freezing up in the winter.

However, despite the savings, you may not break even if your PSU fails early due to thermal cycling (probably a rare event, but a PSU for a machine like the one you describe was probably built to be left on in a commercial use case.)
Could this be used to phish usernames and passwords?
People explanations on that thread are weak AF.
There could be a service that does help people, but it would have to be different from this service.

When someone is struggling with something, often the most difficult step is changing habits. Them knowing they have a problem can help, and it is an important step, but it's not enough by itself.
This paper presents a rather interesting idea that the Transformer, an NLP model, can be modified for spatio-temporal prediction. The first work on applying the Transformer to this domain.
In all of this, folks should just go back to this interview with one of the pilots (Commander Fravor) who was one of the 4 people who actually saw the tic-tac thing first hand. Even he calls BS on some of the claims others involved (radar and technicians) have made. So, I would be careful about accepting some of the less directly involved parts of the 2004 story at face value. This doesn't diminish the incident at all, just shows how incidents like this can become twisted over time.

This jumps to some of his comments about the other folks involved in the story:
https://youtu.be/f7XJD_54aNk?t=549

Another part of what he says:
https://youtu.be/f7XJD_54aNk?t=1868

Say what you will of Corbel, but the entire 2 hours of interview are worth watching, Fravor is about as solid of a person to report this as you can get.

Yeah, there were two major factors. First its not cheap to run a professional data center, this isn't even a government thing almost all big companies are making this calculation and moving towards the big cloud providers. Second when you run your own data center you need to plan for the surge capacity. In this case they had well over 10x the amount of capacity they needed provisioned so they could handle a surge of traffic. In AWS we just set up an auto scaling group with a ansible baked AMI and only pay for what we needed.

Its expensive, but in this case the savings were massive ( saved almost 20m per year )
Woah, slow down there governor. Don't you be bringing your filthy verbose Java idioms into our precious JavaScript. My father was a ECMAScript programmer and his father before him was a perl hacker. We don't take to kindly to extra unecessary characters around these parts.
Absolutely not, in space you have the option of jettisoning the core, carrying coolant for a controlled shut down is a waste of weight. You might even go as far as having 4 disposable cores, one for each acceleration stage.

True. And if you decide to re-write the software then you will be eternally re-writing that software to keep up with whatever is trendy.
It's based on remarketing technology. Just like Amazon can drop a cookie on your browser so they can later show you ads to convince you to come back and complete the blender purchase you have sitting in your cart, this site is offering to drop a cookie on the target and then show them ads for whatever message you would like to show.
Haven't they added some notable features for when you're charging your car, though? I rarely charge outside my garage, but the times I have used a Supercharger, there sure are a lot of people just sitting in their cars reading something on a tiny screen. I think this update is targeted towards them. Heck, the sound is so good IMHO that it might be the best place to watch certain movies, especially when the kids are trying to sleep!

ps: You have some pretty high standards for driver-assist technology. What did you drive before and what would you get if you had to choose today?
