Yeah, the fact that any appearance of US military assets requires Pentagon to approve the script means that Hollwood is unable to record a movie depicting modern US millitary in any critical or non-heroic manner. Is you look at the records, you can see that the requirements are very strict, to the point where many movies aren't even allowed to depict US millitary losing in larger combat operations.

This obviously shifts the tone of any war movie to the point where we could almost call it propaganda. How can movies be true to history if they're not allowed to ever show a major player in a bad light?
This is mind-boggling. The pace is unsustainable for normal humans...

Ask HN: How often do you vote on posts in the “new” tab?
I am curious how posts from the "new" tab ever make it to the front page. Most posts there have 1 or 2 upvotes only and the posts disappear within an hour. With such low votes on the new posts, how do they ever come to the front page at all?

I see there are many interesting posts in the "new" tab. I vote on them but they don't stand a chance to come on the front page because I am the only one voting.

Do HN members really look at the "new" tab to see what interesting posts are there and upvote them? Or do you only see the front page and upvote posts there?
Red looks interesting. Though I don't like the mapping of tables to "model". In general, I find that a model should be a consumer of an ORM, not the ORM itself. Otherwise, you expose to much to the business layer and it's harder to refactor.

For example, if you have a column on table A and you later need to move that to table B, a clean model can encapsulate that change. Hard to do when the ORM is being treated directly as the model.
Apps to Help You Travel Through the World
> It wasn't obvious at the time, but I think in retrospect the case can be made that Apple's ability to innovate effectively (both in terms of time and quality) died with Jobs.

Oh stop. Apple's effectiveness was entirely a product of its time. You had designers building the Zune and calling it competitive but really there was no competition for the products Apple was building for a market that was screaming for a better balance of form vs function.

This picture of Apple's innovation includes no part of OSX, which was always an OS that was technically capable but superbly messy and extremely behind on the times.

Innovate effectively? For a long time of Jobs' tenure, Cocoa was being supported on BOTH Objective-C and Java, and when they ripped it out, they actually chose Objective-C, not Java, as their platform of choice (in retrospect: wow), only to have to build yet another platform (Swift) just a few years later (Swift of course, based off of MacRuby, which they initially tried to build Cocoa on top of internally, so I hear).

Innovate maybe, but effectively no. There is a whole host of broken, abandoned, and outright bad decisionmaking in the OS layer at Apple. Apple's success has everything to do with their success with industrial design, UX design & marketing, and just a bit of being at the right place at the right time.

IMO this interpretation fits the timeline much more cleanly: Apple was churning out the same iPhones and Macbooks long before Jobs left, just as they had been before with the iPod. The butterfly switches, the thin above all else, that's all part of Apple's MO dating back years. Lack of FM radio on the iPods, lack of IR sensors on their early phones, removal of removable batteries, headphone jacks, USB-A, etc, is all part of the DNA. A $5000 screen is not surprising to anyone who saw the Powermacs of the last generation. Butterfly switches look an awful lot like bendy iPhones, which look an awful lot like DOA Powerbooks.

I'm really not sure what part of this is new post-Jobs, but I have a good feeling this is a great case study of confirmation bias. If you believe Jobs was a one-of-a-kind irreplaceable visionary who was single handedly responsible for Apple's success, then you have no choice but to interpret any action Apple makes post-visionary as a failure, otherwise you were wrong about the one-of-a-kind irreplaceable visionary.

And it would be a pretty big blow to most to be wrong about Steve Jobs.

The other interpretation, of course, is that Jobs was not a magical visionary, just a smart guy who made a couple of right decisions, got lucky on lots of others, while still getting it wrong on plenty of occasionss (Macintosh TV cough Apple TV cough Apple TV2), just like most fallible humans.

I've got to wonder if Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, Stripe and others got involved with this on the principle "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"? Facebook is too big to just crush, so you need a smarter approach.

By initially supporting Libra, they got to find out FB's plans, get access to a bunch of market research and see what kind of hurdles they would face if they wanted to launch their own version of the same thing. Then by backing out at the 11th hour, they're able to undermine Libra's credibility before it gets started and make it look like a doomed project.

105 men are born to every 100 women. The men die more quickly. In pre-industrial societies men out number women till age 45, then women outnumber men. The ratio is 2 to 1 at age 80, 5 to 1 at age 100.

Right now, Sweden is the nation with the oldest crossover. Men outnumber women till age 60, which is amazing.

Brilliant summary on the state of invention at Apple.

I think Steve really did give them the edge with design and innovation. Right now there's just no leadership with that kind of bold intent of any one thing in particular. Apple have sort of blended into other premium brands as well as premium brands copying a lot of what Apple do (Matebook X, every phone that copied the iPhone notch).

Are they re-architecting MacOS to be more secure as they've currently pushed for? Or are there middle managers at Apple who are measuring engineering by the number of commits their engineers do per sprint. Only time will tell - If they don't do this right (as with the butterfly keyboard) they really risk damaging their reputation as a premium brand with high quality.
Yup. It's like how many religious people differentiate between "evolution" and "microevolution," with the latter (basically) encompassing whatever evolution happens to have been experimentally witnessed, no matter how drastic. Generally anything involving bacteria gets lumped into this latter category.
That's a crude approximation of what Mathematica can do. Not all (in fact, very few) irrational numbers are computable. Yet among the computable numbers, what our computers can represent in any language is but a small subset of them. (Although computable numbers are equinumerous with the naturals.)

If that had happened in the context of any other unimportant country, where no launch of a mobile game is planned, and which is not in a habit of crying and shouting down foreign press and companies, then Blizzard would have done nothing.

In fact, the language used here, about openness and 'feeling welcome' (cf hurt feelings) comes close to the CCP phrasebook.
CCP, to remind you, has publicly stated that opinions on China affairs from foreigners and utterings that make people feel unwelcome ot hurt feelings, are not free speech.

HK people are fighting for their freedom and their lives. They need public support in the West to have a chance. Blizzard sanctioning them or others for this shows abundently clear on which side this company is!
> Yeah, the fact that any appearance of US military assets requires Pentagon to approve the script means that Hollwood is unable to record a movie depicting modern US millitary in any critical or non-heroic manner.

Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon ... There are probably more movies critical of war than promoting it. Actually, the general theme is to display the senseless of war than to glorify it. To say hollywood is in the pocket of the pentagon is to ignore most of its history.

China on the other hand, won't approve a movie if winnie the pooh appears in it.

The Julia language is very lispy at its heart, giving you access to the AST and having "true" macros. The surface syntax however is akin to Python or Matlab. Granted, doing AST manipulations in Julia is more cumbersome than in Lisp, but AFAIK the language creators actually discourage the (over)use of macros, as the resulting mini-languages can make it difficult for outsiders/newcomers to understand or maintain the code.
Mathematica / Wolfram language. But I'm stretching it to say that it's a mainstream language, I guess.
Perl 6 sounds like a successor of Perl 5 but in reality it is a totally new language. Many long time Perl 5 users think a new name for a new language would have been better.

The name Perl 6 was damaging to the popularity of Perl because beginners were confused whether they should learn Perl 5 or Perl 6. The same confusion existed in Python: Python 2 vs. Python 3 but the Python Wiki was always very clear. Until a certain point, it recommended Python 2 and after Python 3 became very popular, it recommended Python 3. That sort of clarity was missing in Perl. Due to the number of new programmers learning Perl decreased rapidly and finally Python overtook in popularity.
As a test, I'd used the iPad Pro as a self-imposed "daily driver" instead of MacBook and Surface Pro for some time now.

As a content creator, the changes in iPadOS unblock the sense of being constrained within a modal UI. It now feels multi-tasking, yet without being a distracting clutter of unrelated tasks.

Once past the natural "something is different" discomfort, the removal of several constraints feels like a big step to a new kind of mobility: upgrading from tablet, making a laptop into an appliance.

PS. On the couple of your notes that aren't just bugs:

- There's a setting for the short or long press timing, try lengthening it.

- Apps (and their windows) are now organized into the concept of workspaces. Idea is that for a given kind of work on a primary window you'd most likely typically have a given set of correlated windows. Different mental model from the prior series of app cards, and fixed set of overlay applets.

While I appreciate the new capability, I struggle with this newness too, unclear when I'm shifting spaces vs. windows, for instance. Haven't yet found a well done summary or reference on interacting with the new model (Spaces + Expose) holistically.

From the linked wikipedia article:

"female contribution to subsistence does correlate significantly with matrilocal (as opposed to patrilocal) residence in general; however, this correlation is masked by a general polygyny factor"

If you account for polygyny, the more women are involved in creating food the less likely they are to leave. A simple way to look at it is that parents invest time to teach one gender to support them at old age. If you invest time and energy to teach your sons the local methods to create food then you want them to stick around. If you invested same amount of time to teach local knowledge on both and one left then not only have you wasted half the time and effort but that local knowledge might not even be useful for the party that left.

polygyny add an other layer on it as an increase in the female contribution to subsistence also increase the the probability for polygyny which in turn increase the probability for patrilocality. A bit of cynicism would explain this by saying that if women account for the majority of creating food then fewer men is needed, resulting in polygyny, which create an power imbalance as those men will be a blood relative to a significant larger number of children compared to any woman.

To apply this then to vikings, if the men left to pillage then it must have been the women that worked the land and raised animals, which mean the they likely invested the time to teach their daughters to do the same and relied on them for support at old age.

There are newer services like Revolut proving that it can be done.

All you need is somebody's phone number and the transfer is instant and with no taxes. You can also exchange currency at the interbank exchange rate during the week. And transferring that money to your local bank account is also free of taxes.

Not sure if Revolut will last, but I've been very happy with it.

I find it weird to even try to bring the ICO (which are the engine of fraud and should be anonymous, or otherwise you get to jail anyway) into legitimate space. Someone apparently lost their sense of limits. It's really difficult to comment on someone trying to make a fully legally compliant ICO and get surprised that it's difficult.

Cryptocurrencies exist to move money out of China by circumventing their currency controls (pay miners in RMB locally, get crypto, send it to Hong Kong, exchange into USD). ICOs are a byproduct of that process and exist merely for scam.

Again, i am not against scam. Scam is fine as long as you aren't getting caught - nearly everything in software in scam directly or indirectly. It's just trying to do scam in the open and getting surprising it's hard is what crosses my mental limits of acceptable chutzpah.

Why do you conflate the two? Is it intentional or due to lack of understanding? L. is trying to make money on ICOs because it does not have anything to lose with regular financial markets.

> I think that was a very reductive and inaccurate comment on a multifaceted topic

And I think that was an attempt to intentionally complicate a simple topic.

Crypto can be used as an investment in a form of an ICOs and that should be registered.

It can also be used as a currency instrument for (mostly illegal) transactions. When used as such it does not need to be registered.

Their entire account is clearly dedicated to toeing the CCP party line, but HN operates under a veil, and you sometimes have to just ignore the slight Chinese man underneath and respond in good faith.
Regulators have very little to do with how law is meant to work in theory, especially in the USA. Financial regulators are pure extensions of arbitrary government power: they can make up new laws on the fly without Congress, and many rules are phrased vaguely enough that anyone could be violating them if they want it that way.

Basically financial regulators can fine or imprison anyone in the financial system at any time for any reason or even no reason, unaccountably so. Not surprisingly this power gets abused. These firms were told they would be attacked and punished for working with Facebook, so of course they baked away.

Why is reversing the transform hard ? It's just about computing back values by following the transform definition, it should be even easier than doing the original transform.

Unless the hard part is doing that

1. Fast

2. with Discrete values

3. inverse discrete transform( discrete transform( discrete values ) ) should be almost equal to discrete values with high accuracy

is that right ?
