You can take a company to court, but not a government. Imagine being a legitimate venezuelan businessman with an account in the US for example.

Money is sort-of fundamental (it's one tool), and that's more so because today's fiat money is powered by guns. In the past, europe would have a multitude of coins being used concurrently with some of them dominating like the Florin. Its a recent development that governments crack down on the money that people use.

I love the last paragraph. It's nicely pessimistic:

> Ten million years from now, humans went extinct—give or take a few thousand years—10 million years ago. Huge grazing herbivores and cursorial predators move carbon and nitrogen around the landscape. These unfamiliar creatures evolved from survivor lineages that timidly emerged from some long-forgotten disaster now deep in their evolutionary past. A herd of grazers moves to the next patch of grass. A rainstorm comes and goes. Monsoons wobble about the equator, as the planet does so around the sun. A million more years go by. The waves beat against the shore. Humanity has as little to do with this world as Megalodon does with ours, and nothing remains of us at the surface. Though no one is alive to tell us what epoch it is, these creatures have nevertheless inherited a planet forever diverted by our legacy—as surely, in Faulkner’s words, “as Noah’s grandchildren had inherited the Flood although they had not been there to see the deluge.”
In all the vastness of the universe, “we were the first” is a stupendously implausible hypothesis compared to “we were the only”.
The recent Salazar scandal proves otherwise, i.e. that a lot of today’s athletics-related performances are reached based on same old drug cheating. Too bad, athletics as a competitive sport used to be an event that genuinely filled up big stadiums (like in 1993 in Stuttgart or in 1999 in Sevilla), nowadays we’re left wondering which results will be wiped out in 5 years’ time, while the recent 100-meter World Champs final only attracted 8,000 people in Doha.
of course it is somewhat staged for optimal conditions, but still an amazing achievement. It's not an official world record and everybody is aware of that.
Well the first 4-minute mile was achieved in a similar manner and for some reason it is well known in the popular imagination. To be honest I think these arbitrary marks of achievement are all very artificial and more about good PR more than anything else. Personally I think the 2 hour marathon is slightly less arbitrary than the 4-minute mile but breaking it was only a matter of time.
It s possible that the benefit would outweigh the risk - after all they are already in the payments busines and know how AML works etc. They 've done it for bitcoin. So, i would assume they were threatened a little less politely than i imagined.
I'm wondering what happens before all this -- how is the OS loader even notified about the new thread? Is it the thread entrypoint itself that tells the OS loader about the new thread's creation (and destruction)?
Quite intrigued with your approach; will look into trying something similar for visualising an embedded system.
Every crime is unique, but I think a lot of criminal behavior boils down to the inability to constructively interact with a world that often feels like it's fighting back. I wonder if prisoners participating in the design of their spaces would in itself have a rehabilitative effect.

By that I mean, instead of pre-installing shelves (which soon becomes an entitlement) so they don't have to build shelves out of cigarette cartons (which is a small way of working against/around the system), keep prisoners in the loop while improving their spaces over time.
I d certainly download whatsapp if they did. It's just mad that there is no such service in the west. It makes a lot of sense really, they 'd avoid the whole negative publicitly and they could have released it as quietly as they did with facebook credits long ago
Hi,

Honestly, I wish I had made a throwaway for talking about "political" topics. This account was meant for my more professional stuff. For various reasons I gradually "came out" and rebuked a few hate and war mongering posts. And your comment sounds much like one I believe I made days ago about the rise in anti-China/Eastern smears getting attention on HN.

Please do respect my privacy, but I am an actual, verifiable person who has no affiliation with reputation management, psyops intelligence groups and so on in any country (neither private nor state groups btw).

What I've posted is true, and many others have expanded on it. Some of their supportive posts I'll try find time to research and confirm myself!

"Facts as a weapon", well that's flattering--"pen mightier than the sword" sort of vibe.

But having my history looked into, my identity found, employers contacted in efforts to have me fired, that is scaring me. That's a weapon governments use to squash dissent against their use of fascism, and I don't see it as good use of facts as a weapon.

My immediate thought is to delete all my posts, change my usernames everywhere and shut down professional accounts. But then the pushers of Chinese occupation, invasion, suctions, proxy-wars or general weakening of a state I admire (at least above others) get a gold star.

Anyway, I'm going to stop posting. Hopefully I can find another username I like when I want to post about product releases.
This is deeply weird for the conversation, IMO this should have been two separate stories.
Most of them aren’t self-replicating.
Whenever I see a new programming language, this list of questions by Frank Atanassow comes to mind:

1. What problem does this language solve? How can I make it precise?

2. How can I show it solves this problem? How can I make it precise?

3. Is there another solution? Do other languages solve this problem? How?
What are the advantages of my solution? of their solution?
What are the disadvantages of my solution? of their solution?

4. How can I show that my solution cannot be expressed in some other language?
That is, what is the unique property of my language which is lacking in
others which enables a solution?

5. What parts of my language are essential to that unique property?

Do read the whole post (http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/687#comment-18074), it has lots of elaboration on these questions.

From a skim of the Bel materials, I couldn't answer these questions. Maybe PG or someone else can take a stab at the answer?
It isn't mechanically executable but it does present a strong heuristic: resist all attempts to dismantle the discussion. You want the structure to remain even if you lose an individual argument.
That's only for products being sold in India, to avoid import taxes. And of course, it's only products from more than a couple generations ago, e.g. the iPhone SE, the 6S. I think the newest phone they're planning to manufacture in India is the 8.
I wonder how everyone would react if Facebook did that with their biggest open source framework.

I think most men could pull 12 minute miles (26 in a row, that is), so maybe a factor of 3?
Question: would you continue using chrome if you had to do it without ublock?

Right now the only thing that requires you to have a copy of chrome around is, funny enough, Microsoft Teams.
Both the loader and thread management are part of the OS. It's an implementation detail, but I'd expect CreateThread to do it - perhaps by delegating to the loader, perhaps by navigating the loader's list of loaded modules, whatever.

As a long time Android user I bought in May iPad Mini for CPU speed, high DPI screen and OS updates. I was shocked to learn that it was impossible to increase the text size in Safari. So I wasn't using my iPad Mini as often as I intended. After OS upgrade a few weeks ago you finally can increase the text size. Only in Safari, Brave and Chrome are not yet updated.

However I often read web / watch YT lying on the bed so I have to lock the screen orientation. And to switch from portrait do landscape mode you have to:
1. open quick settings
2. toggle lock screen orientation
3. close quick settings
4. position iPad correctly so sensors cen detect orientation and switch screen mode
5. open quick settings
6. toggle lock screen orientation
7. close quick settings

Huawei recently added a feature to EMUI which automatically sets correct screen orientation using a selfie camera. I hope that Apple will copy that feature. But how many years it will take?
A similar article for Kafka would be great :)
Given that I don’t see ANY large companies that don’t manufacture or assemble in China, especially electronics, I don’t see how one can claim it would not be economic suicide.

Consumers have chosen their priorities, and they’re only able/willing to spend a little bit extra for a better product. They’re not going to spend that much more for more expensive labor too.
> Every world power worth the title forces trading partners to treat it like a delicate flower or otherwise lose the opportunity to trade and even though the US is the current largest economy in the world China is on track to surpass it so US companies have almost no choice but to appease the heavy-handed Chinese government.

Yes, but what China does is go one step further by making extremely clear that Western corporations who want to do business with China don't disparage the Chinese government publicly, don't talk about Tibet, don't call Taiwan a free country...

And every company has the choice, it's just that they chose to abide by Chinese rules, that's all.

I mean the bill always comes due, always. For 30+ years the west has depended on China to produce consumer grade products such has high tech, toys, and what not, looking the other way when it comes to human rights, and now people are complaining that a bloody dictatorship behaves like one? When trade agreements were signed, why did no other world power imposed ethical conditions on China? Because building our stuff in a bloody dictatorship to drive down cost is what all the west wanted, that's all.

It's a bit easy to wake up 30+ years later and act all surprised that there are political consequences to this.

Look at Hollywood, the biggest propaganda tool in the world, bending over backward not to offend China because of their cinema market. All these "actors/activists" so vocal about everything, you never hear them talking about China curiously, That's the bill I was talking about earlier. Now they work for China.

Hah, I forgot about it. So here's an upvote to the reminder.
That's a good call. I have listened to it a couple of times and it is indeed very good. To any Dune fans who are not normally audiobook listeners I would say it would make an excellent use of a free Audible trial.
Even with HN not allowing downvotes on posts, this has a surprisingly low vote score. Maybe put something against Apple in the title?
At the moment its only web-dev related! :)
What organisations should control a standard if not those that develop implementations?
Maybe it's just a difference in how I look at it, but knowing what group law is doing is not a useful clue to me.

From being able to apply group law you couldn't predict the properties or (most of) the vulnerabilities. (or even performance, since these things don't generally cover projective coordinates).

At least the way I see it is if you asked about how a spell checker worked, and then I set out and explain how a digital adder circuit works from the gate level. You can't build a spell checker without adders yet you wouldn't be informed. :)

This sort of thing also strikes me as the sort of thing that more "feeling of understanding" without creating much understanding. I seldom think it's good to do that, though it isn't always harmful.

But learning styles is certainly something that differs a lot between people, so I certainly don't think my experience is universal by any means.

I can say that personally learning to ignore the machinery made my understanding grow 100x faster and directly resulted in constructing more than a few publishable (and widely deployed) designs.
I think main point is that "wave" does not have any agenda, it does not have any purpose. By itself atoms cannot "decide" to cause chain reaction. All of this is just "programmed".

Really liked this book.
There is not a “banking union” in the sense of deposit protection, but the Single Euro Payments Area means transfers between any two Eurozone banks are no different than between banks in the same country.
I can't sprint that fast nowadays. When I was in the Marines 20 years ago, my 3-mile pace was slower than that, and I still had a class "A" run time. This is amazing.
There is no CUDA API in the standard language. The tools for automatically generating CUDA code from Julia code is the CUDAnative.jl package, which at this point is pretty stable and has fairly widespread use.
The thing about CreateThread doing it is that then a thread created in a different matter (CreateRemoteThread from another process, RtlCreateUserThread, etc.) would cause a missed notification. I feel like it has to be the entrypoint, but not sure...

It is "inconclusive" at best.

You can vote on things? Thanks for letting us know.
The essence of any organised belief system, religious or otherwise, is that some behaviours are virtuous and some are not to be tolerated, the nature of this intolerance may range from scolding to ostracism to execution. Is is this latter thing that is the only variable.
It also depends on your definition of live.

The best broad test to look for life would be to look for an entropy source.
Taurus ! Yours?
There were packages I wanted to add features to last week that I've used daily for years, and when I went to go check them out, I noticed they hadn't been touched since the 1.0 release which is now over a year ago. So I think the stability of 1.0 has worked out well since, in contrast to pre-1.0, these days core packages don't even need maitanance and will still continue to work perfectly well for years.
I think it's because when it is actually alien life the expectation is it will be obvious. If we are splitting hairs to find it we probably haven't found it yet.
You (username Rounin) don't have enough “karma” yet to vote.

However, there exists or has existed one planet with the first civilization ever.
The Uyghurs.

HK is getting most of the China attention lately but right before that it was all directly about the Uyghurs. HK gets more attention because they have more ability to broadcast their struggle. Videos of people fighting police are more entertaining than satellite photos of bland looking buildings.

That China is forcing abortions and harvesting organs from people in concentration camps is what gives the HK and global business capitulation stories their edge though. A country slightly reducing the independence of one of its cities isn't all that big of a deal, unless that country is evil incarnate. Businesses working within the framework set by, and cooperating with, the governments they are working under isn't a big deal, unless that government is evil incarnate.

It turns those things in to the equivalent of Poland being swallowed up by WW2 Germany and allied countries fueling the German war machine. Yes I am making a Nazi reference, of which I consider the CCP to be within the ballpark of.
If that's the case, then what you gave is the reason, is it not? A post made 1 minute ago will have 100x the score a post made 100 minutes ago, and this boost in score at a young age will cause a young post with only 1 or 2 upvotes to hit the first few pages for a short time, giving it a chance to get more upvotes if it's a good post.

It doesn't matter if something is forbidden by directly via law or via indirect pressure of money. The result isn't all that different.
The author is not claiming that he knows for sure. Based on his involvement in the project, he has strong reasons to believe it. He is calling for more research in this area. It's similar to NASA's claim that life on Mars is likely to be found by 2021.
While Scientific discovery would never stop, a milestone like this would be significant. And it would warrant awe.
You know I thought apple’s innovation is a hype part of jobs reality distortion field.

Then I compared iPhone and android the ux and form innovations start with Apple and are borrowed by android.
Same for OS X and windows, specially the gestures and form it’s flowing from Apple.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, this is an actual observable thing e.g. https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-30/bilnd-recruitment-...
it's very good sound track, with some late 80's Tangerine Dream influence.
The game was marvelous. They should do a remake, with some open world sandbox gameplay too, so that fans who already know the story can still quite enjoy it
> How is this different from saying “only people who have never sinned can speak out against evil.” With the added dollop of whataboutism?

You can't make a moral argument ("China is evil!") without being on moral highground. Having your own moral highground questioned when you're trying to paint youself as better is not "whataboutism".

There's two way how you can go about this argument:

1.) You can debate purely realpolitik - where morals don't matter and only the benefit of US or China hegemony is taken into account. This can be a hard sell though, mostly due to how current administration relentlessly attacks even their historic allies.

2.) You can debate on basis of keeping a free and modern society and how US keeps Chinese totalitarianism at bay. But then you will have to accept having your own morals questioned. Screaming about Chinese totalitarianism when the current US president actively avoids and attacks the US justice system trying to keep him accountable is hypocritical.

Hm or maybe for APIs just replace the whole thing with sinatra and sequel. Most of advices still apply in the article still apply though.
But if a huge chunk of major global currencies go belly-up at the same time the world has much larger issues than Libra taking a, say 20% dive - the volatility in all kinds of sectors would dwarf that.

All other aspects of the design strike me as either dumb, redundant or dangerous, but this would be the one part of the system not to worry about.
Would extra terrestrial bacteria have any chance versus generation after generation of earth specific bacteria in life forms on earth? I mean, wouldn't it be like a baseball team showing up for cricket or maybe slalom?
For the non-imperial unit folks amongst HN, he ran his last km in pace 2m40s. That’s very fast after 41km.

This is a brief description of the API. It worked fine for us even for complex models.
2:21 is not even in the same ballpark as <2:00. 2:21 is a very respectable time, but not even international/national standard. It's a chasm.
His pace was an incredibly consistent 2:50/km which to someone who casually runs with a workout tracker and runs far less distance than a marathon is absurd. I know his official race time is barely slower and this was about shaving a few seconds per km off that, but that pace is just insane.
The article makes some pretty bold claims, especially those regarding home/consumer use I find pretty doubtful.

> With time, we all are going to have a Smart Mirror in our homes sooner or later, in light of the fact that the cost of a typical mirror will be similar to a Smart Mirror,

The only way I see that to be true is for a large manufacturer of smart assistants subsidizing them in order to gain any relevant market share. Smart mirrors are neither new, nor more "AI" than smart assistant displays.

From a privacy perspective, 75% of my mirrors are in rooms where I would want to avoid a corporate controlled camera at all costs (bathrooms, bedrooms), immediately disqualifying any augmented reality features.

Smart mirrors will likely see more use in point of sales and outdoor at tech, sure. But that doesn't make it more interesting than what it is, a display behind a mirror.
Each of these is certainly a complication, for example standard discrete-time Fourier transform is O(n^2) while the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm manages to do the same in O(nlogn), but I think the main difficulty here is that the direct transform is an integral (or series, depends if you're using continuous or discrete one) over time, which is a single real variable. The inverse is an integral over the complex variable, a+ib, and you need a whole 2D plane to represent it (the complex plane indeed), a single 1D line is not enough. So how do you take an integral of a complex value over a 2D plane? And here you start delving deep into theorems and convergence regions.. stuff that's quite difficult to grasp without having experience with complex calculus (and I don't)

The inverse fourier trasnform, on the other hand, is limited to the imaginary axis of the complex plane (the exponent is a purely imaginary number), so you're restricting it to be monodimensional, hence the relative simplicity in reversing the transform

Also, keep in mind that all of this assumes you have infinite samples, so you need to use some form of windowing which doesn't distort too much the signal
Ditch you phone/tablet/computer/watch/fridge and every product you have that was produced in China or has components sourced in China would be a good start.
Every movie studio that wants a blockbuster movie has an eye on whether it will be accepted in China.
Doing it fast and accurately is the hard part. This paper touches on some of the numerical accuracy improvements they made to the algorithm to help out. It involves some rather large numbers, so numerical accuracy of the floating point calculations matters.
I don't think that microscopical life in Mars is the biggest discovery in human history. It's more like an interesting trivia. But it doesn't change people's lives any more than the discovery of water on Mars.

This is a fair rant all around, but in my opinion your righteous anger is misplaced.

Apple, as other nominally American "multi-national" corporations, was and remains subject to government policy and plans.

Which institutions, centers of power, and influential individuals determined that the de-industrialization of United States was such a hot idea and pushed that to its extremes in the 90s?

Apple simply operated in the stated and promoted policy regime. They are not alone.
