Hey, I'm from near there! Go Cyclones!

also my two cents: it's dangerous as all heck doing anything but driving on those roads. I almost got hit by a friend of mine who was texting and driving while I was running about 30 miles from there out in the country.

This is just Forbes blogspam of the original blog post: https://medium.com/@tedlivingston/moving-forward-boldly-with...

It was submitted to HN here, and I noted that it would be unlikely to get attention because of its title: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21055034

HN's strict title rules encourage submitting blogspam that writes sensationalized titles like this (and it's even been dialed back now).
That's a standard tactic. I mean, the FBI ran Playpen, a Tor onion site for sharing CP, for almost two weeks, while dropping phone-home malware on users' devices.

Edit: I forgot to include a link.[0] And this was just one operation. I suspect that there are teams at the FBI that specialize in CP operations.

For some reason, this reminds me of a skit in Kentucky Fried Movie called "Eyewitness News".

The skit was of a couple watching television while the news was on. The couple starts making out, and it's clear that the news anchor can see out of the television. The news crew gathers around viewing out of the television into the couple's living room...

a google search will probably find the skit.
there are 1000s of hinge patents.
Here is the abstract of one issued in 2015

"A hinge device for a door is provided. The hinge device has two hinge members which engage with each other and a hinge cap. A bearing with one or more tapered ends engages with the hinge members to allow easy opening and closing of a door attached to the hinge device."

High index is cosmetic only, it has the same distortion profile.
We have several C dependencies, mostly in two methods:

- Cygwin helps a lot by providing a GNU make that works with CC=mingw-w64 (i.e. no cygwin1.dll dependency) and we can simply link these extra .o by setting `-extldflags "-lxxxx"` on `go build` invocation; and/or

- Put .c files in a Go package and build with CGO as-is (e.g. github.com/datadog/zstd package and others). More convenient but some limitations on CFLAGS for security reasons post-1.10.

All works fine and was not particularly complex to set up. GC changes have caused us to need more explicit `runtime.KeepAlive` calls after CGO interop however.
It can't be the only thing holding you back. You can just not use it if you don't like it.

Just seems like a weird complaint about otherwise excellent laptops.

I have an X1 Yoga and it's pretty good. A little awkward as a tablet, but I rarely use it that way, just as I rarely use the trackpoint.

And for decades before this moment it never occurred to any of the demagogues in chief to look into such mundane matters as trade imbalance, or subsidizing everybody in the world at the expense of our own businesses and manufacturing base, hollowing out large chunks of the country to make a quick buck.

This shows the downsides of electing lawyers who never did anything of material consequence in the real world, and don't understand or care how the business side of things works.
Yeah, I meant that more genetically as something that works with the Arduino IDE, certainly not an 8-bit processor. I'm considering a higher-end Teensy or PocketBeagle. Does Raspberry Pi have any particular advantages for audio compared to them?
I very rarely suggest edits to HN titles but I feel like adding "for two hours" makes the title a lot truer than the New York Times' one, and that after you have the true title with the "Wow, Japan, how charmingly inscrutable" removed from it, there is very little reason to read the rest of it.

Abacuses are a niche hobby in Japanese schools, in the same fashion that e.g. competitive poetry recital is a niche hobby in American schools, and are factually not taught in the fashion that e.g. poetry is taught in American schools.
that's not great logic.

Unfortunately the opportunity cost of those bad investments might sting many in the long run. I'm not going for any trickle down style economics just that smart investment may help a smart company blow up and solve a generalized problem. They can profit but over time that improvement might spread to another industry or company and slowly make many other groups better off sort of like how investing in NASA led to advancements in technology we all use today.

I do think there should be greater checks for private capital but then again it is their money to throw around. I just lament the lost opportunity because a 50:1 unicorn was picked over a 5:1 more generalized solution, failed, and now although billions was put back into the economy no progress was made.
I don't really trust the Android permission system very far.

This is why I run a rooted Android and use a firewall -- applications (and Android itself) are not permitted to communicate out from my device unless I specifically allow them to. I also don't give any a full time pass through the firewall. If I need something to talk to the wide world, I allow it just for that transaction, then firewall it off again.

As a backup, I also run a VPN server out of my home, and firewall off all network interfaces except for the VPN. That way my home network's defenses are also fully in force.
Except it adds context about the child abuse on Kik and some of the issues facing it.

This always catches me out. Places where you don't pay first are an exception so whenever I go to one that doesnt I always find my self walking to the door until I remember "oh wait, I haven't paid yet"
A friend of mine’s father did mental (abacus) math competitions when he was younger. We were chatting about it, and he suggested I test him.

I started off with some easy ones, and he nailed them. I went up to 5 and six digit numbers (different operations, no less), and he still nailed them. He mocked me for speaking so slowly, but my Japanese was pretty fast, especially for something as easy as numbers (not auctioneer fast, but still...).

All I can say is that I was thoroughly impressed. He had the correct answer within a fraction of a second of me finishing my last number every time.

To make it “tougher”, he suggested we do it in English. His spoken English was not very good, but his listening may have been ok.

He nailed the simple stuff, but I was able to break him a few times by going over 10,000. Japanese counting uses base 10k, while English counting uses base 1k, so it throw him off a bit — he didn’t slow down enough to process exactly what I was saying. That said, I’m sure he could have nailed the English version just as well as the Japanese with just a little bit of practice.

If you ever get a chance to meet these mental soroban folks, I encourage you to ask them about their experiences.
I feel you could make an equal case for the government/lenders being the customer.

I think you're probably right about students not being the product, they're more of a raw material?

I'm being slightly cheeky, but I don't think the relationship is best viewed as the student being the customer, certainly not if the degree is the product.
I'm not sure if this is what OP meant, but a year is long time. It was literally some teams job to share CP on kik for a whole year. That's a long damn job.

That kind of tree is stipulated a particular form of compiler (well, parser) writing dogma revolving around C++/Java style OOP. You set up classes with inheritance representing various node types; everything has methods, and "visitors" walk the tree, and various nonsense like that.

If our code walker dispatches on pattern matches on the nested list structure of conses and atoms, we don't need that sort of encapsulated data structuring. The shapes of the patterns are de facto the higher level AST nodes. The code walking pattern case that recognizes (if test [then [else]]) is in fact working with an "if node". That AST node isn't defined in a rigid structure in the underlying data, but it's defined in the pattern that is applied to it which imposes a schema on the data.

If that's not an AST node, that's like saying that (1 95000) isn't an employee record; only #S(employee id 1 salary 95000) is an employee record because it has a proper type with a name, and named fields, whereas (1 95000) "could be anything".
Yes, but what's your control for the placebo study?

To prove the placebo effect exists, you need to have a group that thinks it's getting a placebo, but actually gets nothing...

To be clear, I'm not just making a joke, I think the ideas people have about the placebo effect are deeply incoherent and harmful.

This fermatslibrary.com website is a great idea. I've been looking for a curated list of academic papers to read. They should be promoted like great literature.

The software they are building that augments long form writing works cleanly in the browser. Hopefully they have a long-term sustainable business model to keep this going.
Trump successfully telegraphed US intention to leave the IPU and impose punishing costs on delivery of Chinese parcels in the US, making acceptance of an equitable compromise the only palatable alternative for the Chinese.

Incidentally, every Chinese person I know absolutely adores Donald Trump because he plays hard ball, whereas they didn't quite know what to think about Obama, who was totally inscrutable from the Chinese perspective. Trump lays out what he wants, and then he fights for it, and he usually gets it. As far as I can tell, people who grew up in China view that as the natural, normal, and proper way of conducting affairs.

What profit would companies have made if they'd privatized TCP and the internet as we know it never was able to take off?

A world in which you build an extremely valuable network which benefits everyone, is a world where the profit itself is more valuable, the value of anything is higher.
I think the first generation macbook pro was the best for the keyboard - it was a wonderful keyboard with scuplted keys that fit your fingers. Additionally your fingers could easily detect the edges of the keys and self center because of the concave keycap shape.

It also had a variety of ports. The only downside was the machined aluminum case of subsequent models was rock solid.
> They did add a reference to the original project to the AUTHORS file, so I'd like to believe in a variation of Hanlon's razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by laziness.

This would be all fine and agreeable if they had not contacted me first, see my first comment :) of course I can still do contact them pointing out the situation, but let me say that given the nice project manifesto (https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/e-manifesto.pdf ) and the large amount of open source projects being involved...there must be expectations of this type :)

I do not claim malice - but I feel like the exact bare minimum was done there, which is not that surprising given that I declined creating/maintaining the customised fork that then they created.
More "normal" and "balanced" guy would be eaten alive by the establishment and mainstream press, and would achieve nothing at all.
> I'm going to create a socket connection to our own server instead. It's for internal users anyway, so they won't mind the battery drain.

Wait, what?

This is why this is such a hard process. You're doing something that you shouldn't do, and if apps were allowed to do this (like they were in the past), then battery drain would happen (like it did) and people would get angry and mis-attribute the problem (like you pointed out).

It's a good thing that this isn't allowed, and developers like this are why.

> Screw this. I'm going to tell my users to just use a laptop instead. At least those things work.

This is your real problem, you're trying to apply laptop paradigms to a phone. A phone != a laptop. Let me know when you get push notifications working while your laptop is sleeping.

I have a pair. They’re pretty neat and my general take on them is that they show some great promise for the principle of the technology and North’s implementation works as advertised. I particularly appreciate the notifications and ability to make some quick text messages with it. I look at my phone a bit less now because of it, which is nice.

I’m mildly skeptical of the ring controller and I have had a couple of them break on me. However, their customer support has been great and they replaced them immediately with no problems whatsoever. Overall though it’s pretty solid and I sometimes catch myself missing the ring if I’m not wearing it, but that might just be my fidgeting habit.

North definitely sold me on the concept and I’m looking forward to more advanced implementations of the technology going forward. I’m not completely sure if I would recommend any of these glasses products coming out (like from Amazon or North or Facebook) to my friends at this time, but if you’re curious about them or if you like having the cutting edge, then they’re absolutely worth a look at least. If anything, the display will be a cool thing to experience if you haven’t seen it before.
IMO, no, they are not members of UPU. USPS is cheaper for domestic packages & letters for regular time, but fastest ones are almost same price.
Another unregistered security disguised as an ICO. What did they expect? There was this mindset in the "crypto" community that they'd found a way to make "take the money and run" legal. They were wrong. SEC info on ICOs: [1] The SEC has been shutting down about one ICO operation a week, starting with the really sleazy ones.[1]

It's possible to have a legit token that's not a security, but it has to mostly be used for something like buying music or games, and not primarily cashed out as a speculative investment. You can ask the SEC for a "no action letter" for a legit token.

The latest thing is virtual reality world ICO tokens. See "Decentraland" and "Sominium Space". They're both frantically trying to put enough reality behind their virtual worlds that they can argue that their "blockchain based virtual land sales" are to people who want to use the VR world, not to people who want to flip virtual land.

My son did after school classes in abacus and learned how to use do the maths without the abacus, using his hands or just mentally. Even now almost a decade later her can still do some pretty impressive maths in his head using those skills. Or even more impressive is his ability tally quickly.
Just today we were talking about how most animals have a common, short name and a longer scientific one. As an example we used a spider near us, it's scientific name is eriophora transmarina and he commented in about two seconds that it had 8 syllables in its name, the same as its full common name. I don't know about others but I had to count three times before I was sure it was 8.

Softbank didn’t start investing in WeWork until others had gotten it to a $16B valuation 3-4 years ago. A lot of the investors weren’t SV but some were in its history.
my weight is probably going +/-6kg, on a semi-week basis. When I eat, I eat a lot (fruits at will, legumes, fish vapor-cooked, honey, Camargues rice living in France, lentils). I think it's useless to weight yourself, it's easy to feel how much fat you've built, you then need to consume it first before re-eating (I'm around 60-62kg, 1.83m, with a thin morphology so it's not underweight)

I feel really well with that "lower-frequency" diet cycle, it's of course easier when working remote.

Since he lived closer to the mountains than I did, I was over at his house a lot. Stolen items were all over the house, and it seemed possible that he would be caught eventually. We had both recently moved to the area from several states away (not intentionally, we were both surprised) and it would have been easy for a cop to imagine that we were in cahoots. If I get arrested I want it to be for a good reason...
The alternate app store with a focus on privacy could be a big plus, depending on how broad of a selection it ends up providing. Neither Google Play nor Amazon Appstore respect your privacy at all. F-Droid is great for open source software, but has some big holes (Signal is an obvious one), and side-loading isn't the best option for security reasons (no automatic updates). I have no problem with proprietary software, or with paying for it, if I had reasonable guarantees that it wasn't spyware, and didn't require installing spyware to obtain and stay up-to-date.
I'd love to hear some research on these claims.

Especially this:

> Deflation at some point causes people to build stashes of tokens instead of investing in real businesses with real production capacity.

I am deeply skeptical of this claim. I would still rather invest in a real business than get a 0% return on my stash. If a free market for currency existed, no way in hell would I choose to store my wealth in a depleting asset.

Plus, any argument about hoarding cash should consider the multitude of billionaires that exist and whose presence is not crashing economies around the world. (Yes, most billionaires have most of their wealth in business investments, but they still have bigger piles of cash than you or I can reasonably fathom.)

What you're espousing seems to be standard Keynesian economics but you should know there are other schools of thought :)
Yes they would. The Americans also go to other countries to seek treatment in special cases.

Also, if our healthcare works well to treat rich foreigners in special cases, but sucks otherwise — I say, we should scrap it.

But sure, we can cherrypick metrics all day long.
Because the RPi is a budget SBC where the most common use case is running it off an SD card, and they apparently didn't consider a SATA controller a priority feature. For many users (maybe even a large majority), that assumption was correct.

https://www.ti.com/product/TUSB9261

There's a purpose-specific part from TI that's probably incredibly well supported and easy to source. It instantly adds a little under $7 to the BOM at volume (yikes), and you're not even counting the hundreds of hours of engineering time that would go in to integrating it (double yikes). Trying to do it with an FPGA would be even worse in terms of cost and engineering time.

COTS products don't fulfill every use case, and never will.
Three generations ago, we had a framework in place which minimized these gray areas where, while a reasonable person would infer there was consent to have sex, the partner actually was not consenting to sex.

The framework was this: If the relationship was not a lifetime monogamous commitment, then the sex was not OK.

I have observed, in the majority of these cases (Caleb Warner, etc.), the issue was that two people had sex with each other without first having an established relationship with each other. It’s a simple observation that one can generally avoid a false rape accusation by making sure to only have sex in a monogamous committed relationship.
I like keypads. On a rental you can change them when tenants change. At home you can go out with keys or phone. Though it stands to reason you could put a keypad outside and run a wire inside, or use wireless though personally I'm glad my keypad lock isn't smart or wireless.
