> A big problem with gestures is that there is no clear affordance as to what kinds of gestures you can do, or any clear feedback. For feedback, one could couple Soli's input with a visual display, but at that point, it's not clear if there is a big advantage over a touchscreen, unless the display is really small.

For the Google Pixel 4 that they are using in the video you already have a big display. It can instruct you how to gesture so that you learn it and later it can let you gesture without instructions.

> The second is what's known as the Midas touch problem. How can the system differentiate if you are intentionally gesturing as input vs incidentally gesturing?

Either an activation word like you said, or it could use the front-side camera to see whether or not you are looking at it.

This is a divisive topic, but the story seems to pass the interesting-new-phenomenon test (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). If you comment, note this guideline: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

We've changed the title in accordance with the site guidelines, but if anyone can suggest a better (i.e. more accurate and neutral) title, we can change it again. Edit: I took "won't exclude customers on moral grounds" out of the title above, since they apparently no longer have that policy.

> Because they have so many socialized programs, the implication seems to be that this is not a capitalist country, but this is simply not true. Capitalism, again, is the engine.

I'm curious how you've concluded that capitalism, alone, is "the engine"? Norway has a market economy but that doesn't exist in a vacuum. Surely their strong social safety nets provide a great deal of value or else Norwegians wouldn't spend the time and money administering them.

I feel like there's too much focus on the price here, and the thing I am concerned with is that the original comment was about how services shut down and they didn't want to invest in the unknown. Paying for that seems doubly risky to me.

That said, I get your point that if you can create a model that gives you a good sense of future profitability, you are in a better position not to die as a company.

Are you referring to the Cherokee Nation as alien, meaning that the US is the native nation? How warped a world view one must have to say something like that with no sense of irony.
Once in a while I don't downvote a well-deserving comment (and I am not saying parent(s) are one of those) because a child comment would get buried. I think parent comment is sketchy at best, but this comment is a nice perspective that makes it worth wading to.

DMT occurs naturally in a variety of plants in high-enough concentrations for economical extraction.

Traditionally you would do an acid/base organic extraction. But for most purposes, you can STB (straight to base) with a bit of lye (i.e. canning supply) and an organic solvent like naphtha.

Obtaining powered plant material is easy, usually available on eBay or else independent sites.
Actually, we need to do one of two things:

(1) Treat the natives like any other citizen, so no special land reservations etc, or

(2) Grant them completely separate sovereign nation status and end this ridiculous quasi-sovereign state of affairs we find ourselves in. No person deserves special rights or recognition because their grandfather (or grandmother) was of a certain race. That is antithetical to a free society. The easy solution here is to cede all land back to them, and establish proper international relations.

Understandably, natives want their own land. That's great, but they can't get that if there's another government in their way. Understandably, states want full sovereignty over their own land, but they can't get that if there exist quasi-nations in the way. The obvious solution is to allow them actual self governance.

It does. As a consequence, AWS would have to share the source code of MongoDB with everyone.

> It will take a stroke of a pen for the US Government to require that exchanges do not accept any coins that have gone through a known tumbler after <certain date>

Assuming they can actually identify it as having gone through a tumbler, sure, but it's not like tumblers advertise the addresses they use. Especially not distributed systems like CoinJoin. These are just ordinary transactions that happen to include inputs and outputs from multiple, unrelated sources. Following long-established best practices, any given address will only be used once.

They could ban exchanges from accepting coins that do not come directly from another authorized, compliant exchange, but that would be tantamount to banning cryptocurrencies altogether. It wouldn't stop them of course, just drive them underground.

Exactly - Kodak was the first with high resolution digital SLRs with the DCS series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_DCS_400_series

I was there in 1995 - installing computers and supporting a organization with a group of photographers that had 5 of those cameras. We had 100mb PCMCIA micro hard drives - made by IBM - by the dozens (over $1500 a pop if I remember right). It took a minute and a half per picture to import the raw images into Photoshop on the highest end Mac Quadra. Somehow I stumbled on a company that made a DSP accelerator card ($5-$6K if I remember right) that cut that import time to 20-30 seconds, but it would still take a day for a photographer to import all their photos from shooting a day or two in the field.

The early days of digital photography were not pretty. I can do 10 times on my phone what we could do after spending literally 10's of thousands of dollars - and 1/4 the resolution we have today.

And yet with the right people it still managed to look really good :) One of the best things I learned was the strength of mastering the fundamental basics of any craft. I was working with experienced film photographers where developing film had a high cost in both time and materials so they were very deliberate in thinking about and composing shots before they shot. With digital I pointed out you could take a lot more pictures more quickly, and correct things in photoshop - but an old crusty photographer responded he'd rather spend his time on the front end of the process in the physical world with the camera then spending hours behind the desk in front of photoshop - and even as a computer geek that really resonated with me.

The old every hour of planning saves 8 of execution and all that.
Good advice for almost all pages.
They killed off all of the chat rooms on a mid-December as well. In fact, December 14, 2012. Curious. Watching Yahoo wither slowly over the course of so many years is fascinating in a morbid sense.

I am told that they had some very interesting technological endeavors, but this was not sufficient to save them, apparently. One clue has been watching their home page and the frantic amounts of "partnering" they've done, to the extent that they pushed much of it even out to the chat clients. That isn't the whole of it, but it does seem to point to a kind of desperation on their part.

Makes perfect sense to me. I used IV ketamine infusions to treat anxiety and OCD. The effects I felt are very similar to what the patient in the article (and many other commenters on this post) describes; it's like my brain rewired itself in a way that allowed me to break out of negative patterns. I was suddenly able to consciously tell my brain to stop when I could feel myself going into a familiar anxiety spiral - and it WORKED. I had a sense of clarity about myself and my life that I had never experienced before. As a bonus, I went from being a frequent binge drinker to having literally zero desire to drink at all. It's not like waking up with a hangover and never wanting to drink again; I feel like I did as a child before I'd ever tried it at all and wasn't capable of craving the feeling of being drunk.
I think it's going to be far worse than that. The economics of self driving cars are so biased toward taxi-like usage that the city streets won't just be filled with cars taking up a lot of space. They'll be filled with cars moving at a glacial pace because the streets are all gridlocked by pickups and dropoffs. Every street will look like an airport or elementary school pickup/dropoff zone.

And even where there aren't commuting clusters, the fact is that cars will actually obey the laws, meaning pedestrians will finally be free to cross at unmarked intersections, and cyclists will be able to share the lanes with cars.
I believe OP is referring to how Indian nations are governed and the laws that apply to them. They're outside the scope of US law (so they're alien). The word choice is ironic historically but it's not incorrect and it further isn't as though OP was implying natives are not legitimately native.

Except for white collar crimes. Someone actually did the math on this and it's actually positive for white collar crimes and often those people can have good lawyers and punishment for white collar crimes don't often carry huge sentences. The combination of a high payout plus good lawyers and light punishment makes white collar crimes net positive in terms of risk vs. reward.

Yup - having started with early Mac's and PC's in the late 80's and 90's, running into VMS in the 90's and experiencing a "real" operating system was an eye opener. The versioned file system was so cool and obvious I can't believe it never caught on with other platforms. Much nicer than snapshots since it was at the file level (different solutions for different problems!)

I bet VMS's versioning could have been the foundation for a fast, powerful and reliable de-dupe too. Hmm...

I would post a counter argument: this is inevitable. Anything stored on someone else's machine, especially for free, is subject to disappear at any moment. Even if Yahoo wanted to keep Groups active, a hardware failure or natural disaster could undo all of this in the blink of an eye. At least this way Yahoo is giving people the opportunity to archive and move things.

It should be the expectation that irreplaceable, valuable information should be archived somewhere that offers the hope of long term archival.
roughly 85% of the population worldwide is already covered by 3G or 4G networks.

Consider the reverse.

As internet access becomes a staple service for modern living, one’s options for location are restricted to where internet is available: 3G coverage at a barely functional minimum.

Want to solve the housing crisis? poverty? Bring at least LTE performance (100Mbs better) everywhere at a competitive flat rate. Today, many options are untenable for want of a decent data rate.

> This is orthogonal to whether the verb or noun comes first. I've just reduces the number of verbs by collapsing many of them into a single multi-purpose "use".

Right! When reading the article I had a bit of a feeling of hesitancy: the ubiquity and general-purpose-ness of functions in FP is the whole point!

Creating a single "use" is like using polymorphism to write a generic function, in a sense. You might imagine `use :: a -> Action` or something. As opposed to the article's take, which calls for `readScroll :: Scroll -> Action` and `openDoor :: Door -> Action`, etc.
I analyzed 10 years of my Amazon Purchase History
The little known feature allows you to download your Amazon purchase history as a CSV file.

Here is what my data said:

- I spent about $44k on Amazon purches over the last 10 years. I expected it was more.

- The spending accelerated over the years with $114 spent in 2009 and $12k spent in 2018.

- I spent most money on Books (18.5%), Sports (15.9%), Kitchen (10.4%) and Electronics (9.9%)

- I bought total of 913 items over this period. Felt it was more. 391 of them were books.

There is much more - wonder what machine learning could do with it. Looks like treasure trove for any ecommerce startup.

I think alien and native are orthogonal terms. If we landed on an inhabited planet we would call those inhabitants aliens, not to imply that their planet is our native land, but to state that they are different than us. In the same way, the parent comment refers to a nation different from the US as an alien nation.

I don't think "alien" is the most common way to refer to foreign nations, but it's not wrong or rude to my knowledge. Your comment seems uncharitable and insulting though.

I am not sure politicians are especially noted for their connection to the real world. Quite often very much the opposite. Recreating the panopticon seems to be becoming too appealing to our rulers.

Are you claiming that the Cherokee nation is subject to the US government? That's arguing in favor of a form of colonialism. It is your worldview that is warped. The Cherokee (and any other native nation wanting their land back) are best served by granting them status as fully sovereign individual nations, as alien to the United States as the United Kingdom and Canada. Can you imagine if we tried to impose our law on Canada? Why then should we allow other nations which ought to enjoy sovereignty to remain subject to the United States?

If, after being recognized as a separate nation by the United States, they would like to seek entrance to the Union as a separate state, then they can petition Congress for that right, as any other sovereign nation is allowed to do.
