> If you believe that Australian newspaper is also a "politics website" that is a "source of misinformation" then justify that.

I don't want to jump in on the rest of your conversation but I saw this and thought I could chime in. The Australian is our only national broadsheet with a long history of fairly good reporting, good commentary from all sides of politics, but a definite conservative editorial slant. Unfortunately over the last few years its reporting in general and environmental reporting in particular, have veered away from good quality conservative aligned journalism towards the more typical Newscorp produce. On reef issues in particular Graham Lloyd is well known for cherry picking sources even if they have little expertise in the area or have already had their views discredited in the scientific community.

So to answer that statement, the Australian is definitely a source of misinformation on environmental issues and if its not a politics website, it has a strong political agenda.
> The government is a firehose of money, and only government (academic) research gets reported on by the media. So yes it's entirely possible for private sector research to simply disappear, relative to the output of academia, whose papers utterly dominate the conversation.

Corporations are just as capable of pumping money into universities as anyone else. The University of Kentucky let the coal industry buy naming rights to their famous basketball team's new dorm (now the "Wildcat Coal Lodge") and erect a "tribute exhibit to the coal industry," against furious objections from students and community. https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/watchdog/article44078883... Or for the opposite approach, right now the pro-oil governor of Alaska is eviscerating the University of Alaska's funding because it's a center for climate research that produces results he doesn't like. https://www.hcn.org/articles/climate-change-research-threate...

If there was solid evidence against anthropogenic climate change for universities to research, they would have been persuaded to do so.
NATO was formed as a deterrence against Russian aggression. To then buy weapons from them is a pretty big conflict of interest.
Your words exactly describe my struggles in childhood and career. The only difference is I did Tae Kwon Do and my schools cracked down on bullying after Columbine because they were scared one of us nerds might snap.
I wasn’t suggesting that they would. I was warning against over-application/interpretation by giving an example of something one might not expect if one interprets the theorems too broadly.

First upper management has to realize there's a problem. Often they're so insulated from the day-to-day operations that they're clueless.
>I dislike this description of things existing in two places at once, this is because I believe that objects exist in one place, then they move to the next place. The interference pattern only highlights the probability of where the particle will be when it's next observed, or "where it moved to".

No, that would just be regular motion -- and QM would be no really different from throwing a cannonball (for example) and running the ballistic equations.

Remember the classic quote as a guide: "If you think you understand QM, then you don't understand QM".

Even more so if what you think it all is, is a classic quaint motion description. That wouldn't be any mystery, wouldn't explain the two slits experiment results, and wouldn't perplex scientists and have different interpretations for a century.

>In another way, in my mind, the object exists here, then it exists there, but it did not exist at the time between here and there, unless you happened to have observed it. Then of course "there" would be where you have made the observation because you have given it something to interact with.

That would still not cause interference, of explain the experimental results.

It's just like regular solid body motion but with added intermittent existence of the object.
I was actually refering to Soong not Gradle. Soong has been replacing makefiles since android 7. Given that incremental builds are more of a "hopeful aspiration" rather than "something that actually works" in Android 6, I can't blame them too much for doing a major reworking.

Isn't it a pretty good reason? gRPC is terrible in a datacenter context without Google's internal TCP fixes that Linux won't adopt (and which have been advocated for in numerous conference papers since at least 2009). If they are steadfast cavemen what other workaround exists?
Caching depends on a correct model of the dependency tree. If a dependency isn't included in the model, then a non-hermetic tool will silently succeed, incorrectly while a hermetic tool will do the correct thing and fail the build. Keeping the model accurate is too hard for humans, so in practice, non-hermetic build tools can't cache correctly.
I agree that Apple's stated rationale for removing the HKmap.live app is embarrassing and the removal is a capitulation to China's government.

The reasons China's government has decried the app are bogus, but those false reports and allegations do not originate with Apple.

However, Apple appears to be accepting those reasons at face value and probably because Apple is kowtowing.

Regarding whether iMessage is free from backdoors, Apple has given no reason for anyone to believe they are outright lying about the technical features of their software and hardware or their position regarding privacy.

In other words, Apple appears to be caving into pressure from the Chinese government and Apple are openly admitting this surrender.

However, Apple has not to date lied about what they are doing and we do not yet have a reason to doubt their representations about the security of their encryption.
I believe mine is a gen 6.
It would be better if we took geohash and transformed it into words organized from a dictionary. Because the closer things are the more they share a common prefix.
A lot of the implementation bugs will get worked out eventually, but I don't really see how the more fundamental usability issues around port capabilities (Video? Thunderbolt? USB-PD? Quick Charge? Data rates?) or cable capabilities (USB2/USB3 speeds, current/voltage limits, TB support) get worked out over time-- all that seems to come with the territory when you try to build the "one connector to rule them all" (so to speak).
Don't you need to be really careful with which chargers you use with each device, regardless of the cable type? Pretty sure USB-C headphones shouldn't be charged with a USB-C Macbook Pro wall charger.
Supposedly, though Nintendo's USB PD implementation in the Switch is a little jacked, as long as you use a charger that implements its PD support with an actual dedicated PD controller, you should be safe. The Nyko travel dock that infamously fried Switches faked it with a microcontroller which could sometimes overvolt one of the pins and fry the Switch's PD controller, rendering it unable to charge... at least according to this analysis by an engineer working on a third-party dock: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ckaiiv/an_e...
Not seeming to affect anyone else seems like an insufficient condition. It should be predictably not going to affect anyone else with high reliability - and I strongly suspect this was not the case.

Yeah let's not forget that mirrors are supplemental to begin with and already can fail. The failure mode is that you have to look around you more. As long as a manufacturer can't use this as an excuse to add more blind spots I don't see a huge difference.
Human beings don't really share the same habitats with orcas?

That makes sense. What doesn't make so much sense is that the documentation indicates that Python 3 is supported, but everything I've tried and everyone I've spoken to have indicated that it's just broken. In any case, I hope I can use it eventually.

Any idea if deterministic wheels is on the Python project's radar?

EDIT: Quick Google search answered my question--the first result is an issue you filed here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6505
My understanding is that third party chargers work fine though may not charge the Switch while under high load, but most third party docks don't implement PD correctly or at all and that is what can cause issues or bricking. There are also some issues with using A to C cables since USB A chargers will only provide 5V, so if the output amperage isn't high enough the Switch can't charge because it will only use a fraction of the available amps regardless of voltage.

>If you think it's still strong enough to affect brain function, I don't really see how the power being "pretty low" really makes things less scary.

Drinking a cup of coffee is "still strong enough to affect brain function", and yet we do it every day. In fact several times...

Using electricity that's "still strong enough to affect brain function", but small to have any major effect (they've tried this thing tons of times in clinical settings) is not that different...
This is actually a fairly standard way to design a clinical trial, called the "stepped wedge" design.

Everybody gets the control arm, followed by the treatment, but the time of the switchover is randomized, often in steps (hence the name). If people consistently recover at the same time relative to the treatment, but at different absolute times, then you can conclude the treatment works well.
It's kinda applicable in a philosophical sense, obviously not in a literal sense. There is a lot of discussion of logistics in the book FYI.
> are these stickers part of the rituals of compensation?

Are weird-looking caricatures of dangerous animals "rituals of compensation" for US sports teams?

No. In both cases, they're about threatening the enemy and bonding the group. A lot of things in militaries, both modern and historic, were about that. If you look at the patches of various military units across time and nations, you'll see plenty of things that are meant to signal dominance.
Energy use is more than electricity. Fusion does not solve climate change.
> His only complaints seems to be the lack of evidence

That's seriously disingenuous. His complaints is about how what Tim wrote doesn't make any sense, not about evidence. He only ask for evidence because he is logical, he knows that he may have not thought of everything and could be potentially wrong.

> The first allegation is that “the app was being used maliciously to target individual officers for violence”. This makes no sense at all. The app does not show the locations of individual officers at all. It shows general concentrations of police units, with a significant lag.

How could you explains this? I don't even need evidence, just a way for that to be possible (without outside coordination, that would be just absurd, simply use the same channel to coordinate instead).
Apple's supply chain is China-based. If Apple doesn't pull app, then China's leadership probably shuts down that supply chain. China's leadership doesn't give a damn about Apple or Foxcomm or even the NBA. It's probably a real blow to Tim Cook since he is famous for setting up such an amazing supply chain. He put Apple in such a dangerous position. He caved and made up an excuse.
> Pretty sure USB-C headphones shouldn't be charged with a USB-C Macbook Pro wall charger.

That should be fine. There's a protocol for the charger and the device to communicate and decide what power to charge at.
Ask HN: How would you build a search engine in 2019?
So, I was wondering how to build a competitor to Google. We have Common Crawl and Internet Archive. Distributed systems is pretty well understood. How would one go about buiding a search engine in 2019?

Would you do what duckduckgo did, which is to use some body else's index and ranking or would you just build your index from commoncrawl? How are Ecosia and Startpage.com able to stay profitable without doing either?

Does that mean we can have many niche search engines? Can we crawl CommonCrawl and build an index for less than $10K (what one individual can do out of pocket.)

So could another camera in the car that watches the drivers head and adjusts the view based on movements. It could also be better too as you can now be comfortable and not contorted to get a proper view(even better than adjusting the mirror). It could also be disabled to provide a stead view. With a touch screen we could stay focused on a target too.

Camera's provide more options
> If it was applicable to modern war, it would talk about logistics and technology, whereas it talks about merely tactics.

This is simply factually false; chapter 2 of tAoW is nearly entirely about strategy at a level which subsumes logistics, logistics itself, and economic considerations of conduct of war and their impacts on logistic concerns.

The work says more about tactics, but that seems to be not because tactics are viewed as more important but because they are viewed as more amenable to detailed generic advice; the higher level rules are simpler to describe (but not necessarily to execute on effectively.)
Just say you've been asked by the authorities in the territory to remove the app, and you've complied. Full stop.

There are lots of apps missing from the China app store.

This whole thing about removing the app to protect users strains credibility.
agreed that it is true for a lot of "high art" too. but much of it can still be appreciated at face value.
Nothing. PDFs still exist; they haven't gone anywhere.

If you're asking why the Go team doesn't use PDFs for presentations, that's probably a question for the Go team themselves or one of the golang-* newsgroups on Google Groups.
Absolutely not. It only takes one idiot to fuck up their body horrifically for the technology to get banned for all the non-idiots.
While I have no experience with System76 and the quality of your devices, I doubt you can make any claims about the number of incidents with confidence. I have owned many devices that have had various quality issues that didn’t rise to the level where I felt it was worth going through some warranty procedure that may or may not alleviate the issue after spending an unknown amount of time & money on it. I don’t like the idea that the manufacturers of those devices take the absence of a complaint as confirmation that the computer has lived a long life without any sort of incident, major or minor.
Well, the motivation as identified in the article is aerodynamics. Side mirrors mess with that. So they would argue that side mirrors aren't "working fine", or rather there's an advantage to removing them.
> With that move he protected both.

He protected the Software Freedom Conservancy by accusing it of violating the Software Freedom Law Center trademark? You're going to need to explain that more clearly.

> I've just asked for a clarification, that you refuse to provide.

I've clarified as much as I can. When there's no other public evidence available, what do you want me to do?

> The different opinion was a minor difference though.

It really wasn't.

> Is this enough to fire people?

Evidently.
Even if the alleged crimes allegedly abused the app (something certainly not endorsed by the app makers), the same can be said for a lot of other apps. Thieves use facebook to look for people who give details on when they are on vacation for example. Snapchat and Skype and kik and whatapp and every other social messaging and social media app and service is abused by pedo criminals grooming their victims. etc

But those alleged crimes could not have possibly helped by the app, as has been pointed out: you don't get to see individual officers' locations and it does not show areas with no police at all either, just police hotspots (and technically, most areas even in a dense city like Hong Kong are without immediate police presence most of the time, anyway).

But even if we played devil's advocate and took the allegations of criminal activity that abused the app at face value, and assumed Tim Cook is not free to share specifics as the information might be confidential, he could at least answer what local laws were allegedly violated by the app itself. Those laws certainly are not confidential information.
Did you actually manage to break that tiny wafer or it's more of a theoretical concern? I admit I had the same concern as you, but I'm not a mechanical engineer, and I'm sure a lot of thought was put in the mechanical design of the connector.

It seems to me that the outer metal sheet on the connector will prevent a "wrong" angle on the wafer.

They were named 'killer' for some reason, but the only known attacks on humans are from Orcas in captivity. They're not innocuous and sweet, of course, but they got a bad rep for a couple decades and so weren't a 'charismatic' species to save, and their populations suffered greatly as a result. See "Blackfish" the documentary.
> Nothing is really secure anyway, except the stuff that matters.

This is the key, I feel. Just enough CYA while still doing BAU (which includes security agencies snooping on people). Governments think they will be able to secure their important stuff. Everyone else can have the illusion of security, without actual security. When there is a master key leak, it will be someone else's problem, and can be blamed on bad actors.
> I'd be really concerned about failure modes here.

I'm so happy failure is being addressed. Because to me (as a former engineer) this is one of the most important factors. In addition to failure due to snow, what about it just breaking? A small rock or crack is not going to greatly obscure a mirror's view. More annoying, but you can still get most information. A smaller lens does have the advantage of a smaller target area but more potential for complete failure. It is also more complex and with more complexity there are more modes of failure.

For example: I used to drive an old truck. The mirror adjustments just did not work, but I could manually move them. Dead simple and the purpose of the device is still achieved even when something broke in the device's chain. With a camera you have the screen (which can seriously affect your night vision! I'm EXTREMELY annoyed about this in my current car), every point of connection from screen to camera (software and hardware), the camera, and the lens. I'm under the impression that not much can go wrong here in the product chain and you still have a functioning device.

BUT the camera does have clear advantages! You can use IR so you can see at night. No glare. Better angles. Software that can do object detection and help you avoid accidents. It is a matter of trade off. Typically in machines that can easily lead to fatality we tend to me more risk adverse.

It's already known that iCloud in China is operated by a state-owned telecom (GCBD) see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21217920 so they could use the data to track the protestors.
