The huge difference is that you can update or add package repos to get the best of all worlds.

Load whatever you want, from wherever you trust, whenever you want.
There are some interesting ideas here. It seems extra risky to involve a second person. Does a second person always show up with him? Maybe he built an app that allows him to read that data on his phone without needing a second person.
DNA teleportation.., the recent discussion on HN about the hydrophobic effect of DNA basically proves it is true... naysayers be damned!

> It would be simpler to say "if you take paid for ads you are not allowed to turn down any ad that does not violate public guidelines". Does this apply to penis pills during kids cartoons? It is not an simpler answer.

Seems to me it IS a simple answer:

"If you take paid for ads you are not allowed to turn down any ad that does not violate public guidelines"
>Does not prove that at all. This particular person is obviously exceptional at what he is able to do. It's a big stretch to imply from his skill that 'TMA don't work in normal fights'.

It's not this "particular person", it has been proven time and again, even in studies
Shhh... don’t force us back to piracy iPlayer is nice.
> You see enough of this stuff and you just start to try and ignore it. But it eats at me. Seeing people every day enduring levels of despair that are completely depraved hurts the soul.

Yep! I stopped going to the office in the Mission in part because of this. And my job before that in SoMa I quit in part because I was stepping over homeless people on the sidewalk every damn day on my way to the office. It was just too depressing, and that place wasn't going to tolerate my working remote so I quit.

The SF bay area is pretty neat, but that city is a total disaster, way overrated and overpriced and the weather isn't even good compared to most of the nearby coastal communities or literally anywhere else on the peninsula.
Interesting. I wonder if you could embed something based on calibre-web in an Electron app. It'd be one way to get a better UI in a more accessible way...
> The same is happening with the wild boar in Sweden.

It’s not really the same. In Sweden, wild boars are effectively an indigenous species, present since the stone age. In the Americas, wild boars are an invasive species and a veritable menace to the local flora and fauna.
I've only seen something like this once: Daniel Hope playing Gabriel Prokoviev's violin concerto.

I don't know what software he uses or how the pages get turned (by the time spent?).
Why does that difference matter? Edit: I mean: they have been multiplying like mad over the past 20 years. Why shouldn't we allow hunters to shoot them in some organizer manner to keep the population at some constant healthy size, like we do with the moose population?

And why shouldn't that meat be used to feed people?
It looks fairly unreliable to me -- it appears that a successful shot requires it to fall just right, and even then it might miss a barn.

I wonder why no exemption was made for leaf vapes that simply cook off the THC leaving the benzene behind.

There are no adulterants in a leaf vape.

The History of Flashlights (2016)
I can't see the US government rolling over either, but him having security or not is not an issue. The US government has means beyond those of the average opposing gang leader if they want to shut the business down.
I didn't say anything about GCP's quality and I don't know why you think I'm demeaning it. I'm just saying I have not seen any IT org that was heavily invested. I have seen a bunch using this or that feature (Firebase or AI/ML services) enough to be mentioned as a client but none that use it as their primary infrastructure. My point being that just because they have an impressive list of clients doesn't mean they're winning anything. And winning is not necessarily correlated to the quality of their product.
Also Mars has less gravity than Earth. This helps.
My thought exactly. Someone should mash it up
It appears that you are misinterpreting the form of my argument because you don’t understand how people who aren’t authoritarian can hold an opinion of their own while it also being valid generally because we don’t need to impose them on others, its authority comes from its truth not who I am, which is why you also fail to understand the retort. Thus, my opinion is good enough for me. Only you think it’s backpedaling to point out what should be obvious.

If you’re so keen on educating yourself then you should start with Orwell and move on to J S Mill.
do they also need the picture of the backside and home zipcode?

if not, sounds like a startup idea.
I found that it's easier to do it yourself than have someone else do it -- my wife and I measured mine, hers was off from mine by 6mm (2mm on one side, 4mm on the other, I have no idea how she was nearly half a centimeter off, maybe my eye moved), I ended up going to an optician a few months later, and my measurement was exactly the same as what they measured with some device.
Creating More Meaningful Interactions

That's the risk with open-source work though, isn't it?
Most recruiters have no clue what the fuck they’re doing.
The difference is that a non-invasive species is not usually a problem for the local environment. There is no reason to believe that wild boar suddenly would be multiplying massively in their native environment, since the wild boars should have natural predators and environmental factors keeping the population limited. If those are missing, the natural (and often relatively easy, compared to the alternatives) response would be to re-intruduce those natural predators and/or environments.

In short, there is probably not that much to worry about wild boars in their natural environment. To Americans, though, who are used to thinking about wild boars as a unadultered horrifying menace (which they are where they live), describing Sweden as “the same” is misleading at best.
Are you people hackers new
Ada has been on the way out, at least in recent U.S. DoD flight system developments (and likely NASA as well) for a long time. I don't see this trend reverting any time soon.

On the other hand, we can, and I hope will, move to much more rigorous approaches, such as the use of Rust, for flight software implementations. As you say, Rust was not specifically designed to compete with Ada, but accomplishes a number of similar goals and ultimately strives for correctness-by-construction, as does Ada.

We will be better off in flight software using newer, safer languages employed by the software community writ large instead of trying to mandate niche languages.
Am I missing something? This study just seems to say that smarter people have more income stability. Doesn't seem all that surprising.

The study doesn't make any mention of doing tests throughout their lifespans so it's hard to claim that income stability impairs brain function.

At best there is a correlation and it makes more sense to me that impaired brain function leads to income instability, not the other way around.
There's that, but there's also the cost of manufacturing and distributing the physical media. It needs cover designs, labeling, menu design, people expect features like commentaries, etc.

Or, you can invest nothing extra, and the majority of your audience will still engage with the product.

The cost/benefit analysis doesn't point to physical media as worth it.
WeWork plans to cut 2k jobs after failed IPO
If Sen. Sanders succeeds in enacting such a tax, the target population would move much of their wealth offshore. Stock-wealthy entrepreneurs such as Bezos would probably relocate company headquarters to safer countries. Wealth is a fluid thing. Probably better results could be achieved by cutting wasteful government spending, freeing billions of dollars for other purposes.
What happened to magic leap?
I think a more apt analogy is that the doctor gave you your blood test results (just as they'll give you your prescription without the PD), but refused to characterize the color "A deep shade of crimson with a touch of scarlet", which is something that you can do yourself with a little knowledge.

So you're still getting the information that requires special training or licensing, and you can get the other information yourself if you really want it.
> we should keep our infrastructure to ourselves.

Hilarious, now that we know amazon builds better infrastructure. How they say it? „don’t buy your own hype“!
It is the law of large numbers. It goes with the theory that if you buy 100 billion lottery tickets you asymptotically approach 100% chance of winning. In the case of abiogenesis, if you can show that the conditions for this effect were possible, and that those conditions could persist for millions of years, the probability that the "special" one occurs, approaches 100%.

It doesn't explain everything, it is just a link in the chain of things that increases our understanding of our world.
Fascinating thanks, sorry I should have searched it up.
My theory is that the more variable weather in New York helps. While it's great essentially not having any rain in San Francisco for ten months of the year, moisture helps in removing feces and urine from sidewalks.
The Derail of Desires
I'm not saying Cloud Flare committed a crime.
It's too slow unless n is at least on the order of several thousand. Big-O notation doesn't always tell the whole story.
Was it an article about how there are 64 possible encodings of 3 bases (codons), but some of them are synonymous and only 20 unique amino acids are synthetized? And how this redundant encoding appears to be unusually resistant to mutations, as replacing one base with another would often encode a chemically similar amino acid? I remember reading something like that, but I couldn't find it either.
Is this the same feds who all have Facebook accounts, including their families, children, relatives, bosses, and so on? Including everything they buy, everything they look at, their location, and complete profiles of their personality, photos, photos that were taken OF them by other people, likes and dislikes, dirty secrets, and so on?

It sure would be a shame if FBI directors in charge of such an investigation were cheating on their wives or were illegally getting kickbacks from contractors. Would be absolutely inconceivable that Facebook might even leak that information to their friends at the CIA or NSA and call in a favor.
I was just having a conversation about the probabilistic craziness of abiogenesis this morning with a young christian who was out proselytizing, this is a step toward the real deal (though I think the title goes further than the research here).

Glad to see chemists are still trying to answer this beautiful, burning question. To those in this thread wondering: yes, there are people so flabbergasted by abiogenesis that they turn to alternative answers.
Unless your mom seriously understands the security implications of sideloading, she should probably just stick with the App Store.
I simply don’t deal with them anymore. The few times I’ve actually taken offers from them, the role has been misrepresented or ended up being in a rushed org that torpedoed their own culture.

More recently, I had a recruiter sabotage my interview process by telling me an interview was “non technical” (it ended up being 100% technical) and another time deliberately setting salary too high and pissing away a good opportunity.
Have a comma.
Because enterprises take it for free. The way you can prevent this is to use AGPL licensing and charge money to use it under a comersial license.

The problem is now no one uses your software because there are endless amounts of more permissive open source software available that work just as well.
Social Media Could Make It Impossible to Grow Up

There is an interesting theory that humans are descended from pig and primate hybrids. This may sound bizarre, but there is evidence of pig primate hybrids in the wild and so-called humanzees have been bred. This theory is also one of the few alternatives to the aquatic ape hypothesis that can explain why humans have skin that is more common for aquatic mammals.
Do you still have that GTO solver kicking around? How'd you build it?
> Any life form that has reached the cognitive capability to reason about itself will be amazed by the sheer "coincidence" of their habitat. "wow, isn't it amazing that our planet's atmosphere is composed of the very ammonia we need to survive in?"

Isn't this a non sequitur? Whether any life form would wonder about its existence (probable or otherwise) has no bearing whatever on whether it evolved or was designed or specially created.
It varies a lot from street to street, block to block. Living on a steep hill helps a lot where it's difficult to push a shopping cart up. The flat Tenderloin is a human health disaster zone but once you get to the rarified air above sutter street the problems disappear. That's only 8 blocks away from mid market. The rest of the city that's on flat ground has significant or seasonal problems.

A while ago I read somewhere that the odds of life creating itself via basic chemical pathways are so miniscule, that there must be quite a few instances of mechanical clocks creating itself by rocks beating together over the aeons in the universe before the first dna based organism appeared.

Might be very wrong but still a beautiful picture.

It's fixed and updated.

But this demonstrates how much advantages open-source software has, this transparency does pay off with users who are gradually paying attention to the technology and security landscapes.
> There is now. Prepare to have your bags checked, and hotel rooms inspected at least once, if not multiple times per day. It's a ludicrous settlement, and I'd love to see an explanation from the judge(s) that let the suit(s) proceed instead of throwing it out.

Because someone has to be held accountable for the tragedy, and since we can't hold politicians, or the gun manufacturers accountable for it, you find the next person in line.
I might be scarred for life as a long time Debian Testing user, but I found that this worked approximately never. There was always some sort of dependency that was only in Unstable, and installing that would cause libc to need to be upgraded, and then your entire system broke. Even if it wasn't that severe, it probably didn't work. Windows, Mac, and iPhone users certainly don't have the problem where if they install FooUtility, it causes their computer to not boot anymore. (Unless FooUtility is malware, of course, which I didn't get a lot of installing out of Debian's repositories. Except of course that weak keygen bug... Hmm.)

(Of course, the underlying problem is that shared libraries are actually a bad idea. They were a hack for days when storage and memory was very expensive. But for some reason, Linux still uses them. New languages just compile everything into a statically linked binary, which is wonderful. I can write a Go program on my Windows machine, and with one command, compile it for a Raspberry Pi. Copy it over and it just works. Snap is also a thing that appears to work well.)

Is it in PayPal's interest that Libra succeeds? It seems that they would be competitors. They might just have backed it strategically to somehow have a stake in it if it takes off big time. Given the pushback they could now bank on the whole thing failing instead.
With the variety of systems in place that tend to reject this sort of "old world" architecture, I too find it sad.

That said, if anyone knows of an architecture school or architect that is investigating "modern" community housing that is people focused and not 'car' focused I would love to look at their work.

Uploading is a criminal offense. Downloading is just civil (for now, that is).
The licensing is not the issue. It is the middleman charging fees for simple transactions that they will totally skip. Building that before was hard but the blockchain solved that
I'm guessing this is a religious view (Christian or Muslim maybe?).

Where I'm from it's both common and normal for people to never marry their lifelong partner and even raise a family together.
I'm not quite sure if I really agree with the premise of this article. This isn't some type of Uber vs. Lyft analogy. WeWork dwarfs all the other coworking spaces. Customers aren't going to leave WeWork because they fear it going out of business (after-all that's the point of month-to-month). The turnover happens from unhappy customers.

This also seems to imagine given all their recent troubles that WeWork isn't going to dramatically improve operations. WeWork has never gone back to make things efficient since inception, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if there's a lot they've left on the table. WeWork owns so many leases from landlords; the landlords might be strong-armed into concessions.

It's not unreasonable to expect a lot of their metrics are going to improve (and cut costs drastically down), especially with a new set of management.

I just signed up for WeWork in Lima, Peru this week. There's definitely customers. Everything is clean/organized. Although, the music is definitely a bit distracting ...
Thanks! It's manually laid out using a drag-and-drop editor. I've never met an automatic graph layout algorithm I liked the aesthetic of.
Library author here: As I have added more features to the library, compile times have definitely suffered. Fortunately, the latest version of the clang compiler added `-ftime-trace`, which reports where the compiler spends its time. I am currently going through and optimizing the compile-time performance of my library. However, I expect the largest gain to come in the next year or so once compilers + build systems implement C++20 modules so that you don't have to compile everything every time you use it.

For run-time performance, yes, you definitely get a hit in your run time if you have all optimizations off. However, I have found that the practical benefits of things like this library, combined with run-time sanitizers, is worth much more at finding bugs than a debugger, so I typically debug and develop with `-O3 -fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize=address` and release mode is `-O3 -flto=thin -DNDEBUG`. This is an area where it's not possible (yet) to satisfy all use cases. I am hopeful that in the future, it will be much easier to tell your compiler "this is the code I care about debugging, optimize the rest".
Is there something about this design that makes it inherently more efficient? Or do the weights come to a stop because it is better tuned (or more tunable) than most traditional trebuchets that one sees?
So what you're saying is we will go raid unrelated folks? Where would you stop, would you also seize assets of people running non-mining nodes?
The bug tracker requires javascript, transcript for anyone that doesn't want to enable it:

There is a logic error in Signal that can cause an incoming call to be answered even if the callee does not pick it up.

In the Android client, there is a method handleCallConnected that causes the call to finish connecting. During normal use, it is called in two situations: when callee device accepts the call when the user selects 'accept', and when the caller device receives an incoming "connect" message indicating that the callee has accepted the call. Using a modified client, it is possible to send the "connect" message to a callee device when an incoming call is in progress, but has not yet been accepted by the user. This causes the call to be answered, even though the user has not interacted with the device. The connected call will only be an audio call, as the user needs to manually enable video in all calls. The iOS client has a similar logical problem, but the call is not completed due to an error in the UI caused by the unexpected sequence of states. I would recommend improving the logic in both clients, as it is possible the UI problem doesn't occur in all situations.

To reproduce this problem on the Android client, replace the method handleSetMuteAudio in the file WebRtcCallService.java with the following method.

private void handleSetMuteAudio(Intent intent) {

Log.e(TAG, "SENDING MESSAGE");

this.dataChannel.send(new DataChannel.Buffer(ByteBuffer.wrap(Data.newBuilder().setConnected(Connected.newBuilder().setId(this.callId)).build().toByteArray()), false));

intent.putExtra(EXTRA_CALL_ID, this.callId);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_REMOTE_ADDRESS, recipient.getAddress());
handleCallConnected(intent);
}

Then build the client and install it and make a call. When the call is ringing, the audio mute button can be pressed to force the callee device to connect, and audio from the callee device will be audible.
