I have the uneasy feeling that police will never look into cyclist accidents very seriously. Way too many cyclists disobeying the rules, weaving through traffic, wandering from sidewalks to street and back again, ignoring signals, and on and on.

Sure I bet we all obey the rules. But there's that overwhelming mass of cyclists that don't, it will be hard to interest police in trying to separate the incidents.

How does NAT not block incoming traffic? I'm genuinely confused. Let's assume my laptop is behind a typical home network NAT with public address 123.45.67.89 and internal address 192.168.1.123 . What sequence of commands do you type to send traffic to my laptop?

Slight reminder:

- they have been saying this for a long time

- they have also been saying that they won't have a 7nm untill 2021: https://newsroom.intel.com/news/2019-intel-investor-meeting/...

It seemed that they had internal problems which caused the delays ( experienced people leaving).

I think they got spooked by TSMC mentioning 3nm for 2023 with 19,x billion in investments.

Samsung was also mentioning 5nm.

I'll see it when I see it. Currently, I'm not convinced.

Ps.
Great timing for the financial results of AMD fyi. Guess when that is :p

Also: yes, I believe in AMD ( = stocks), because they had great execution in a short timeframe the last years. It's amazing.

For the rest, I'm curious to see what arguments will come here because of financial investments or because of being "true?" believers :p

For those wondering, this is what the resource at hand says about the matter:

"To be precise, when this mean is calculated, the sum of the squared deviations is divided by one less than the sample size rather than the sample size itself. There's no reason why it must be done this way, but this is the modern convention. It's not important that this seem the most natural measure of spread. It's the way it's done. You can just accept it (which I recommend) or you'll have to study the mathematics behind it. But, that's another course."
The Schenck case, which created the "yelling fire" line was overturned over 40 years ago:

"In 1969, the Supreme Court's decision in Brandenburg v. Ohio effectively overturned Schenck and any authority the case still carried. There, the Court held that inflammatory speech--and even speech advocating violence by members of the Ku Klux Klan--is protected under the First Amendment, unless the speech "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action""

According to case law and Supreme Court decisions, "Free Speech" is much more absolute than most imagine.

I can’t use a laptop on my lap or a table for an extended period of time. I had similar terrible neck pain, which went away after switching to a few monitors on a stand that brought their centers of the screen to eye level. I never really use my laptop as a laptop aside from airplanes a few times a year, the pain for me totally went away. It was very depressing until through trial and error I resolved it.
Finding medical advice online is always hit or miss, but I had severe upper back pain for quite a few years that matched many of these characteristics. To my astonishment, the problem turned out to be gastric and related to stomach acid. After lots of tests that ruled out lots of things, it was eventually solved by an doctor who had a similar issue himself, and suggested that I try a high dose of Prilosec just to see if helped. I was extremely doubtful (since the pain was not in my stomach) but since like you I was desperate, I tried it. Behold, it helped almost immediately, and within a couple days I was almost pain free.

I eventually figured out diet and sleep position changes that let me stop taking the Prilosec (mostly sleeping with a wedge and allowing several hours after eating before sleeping) and now I mostly have the problem under control. At the least, knowing the cause and how to fix it makes the occasional pain a lot more manageable. While this might not be your exact problem, consider that it might be. And if nothing else, have hope that maybe you'll eventually find an equally unlikely solution that gets you past this current pain.

That's right! Here's the source code, with meticulous comments explaining how it works, since it was meant to serve as a programming example to help people learn how to use TNT / OOP / NeWS / PostScript.

https://www.donhopkins.com/home/archive/NeWS/pizzatool.txt

I even wrote a manual entry (it shipped with Solaris 2.0, so documentation was required):

https://www.donhopkins.com/home/archive/NeWS/pizzatool.6.txt

I just posted more here:

PizzaTool was written in Sun's "NeWS" dialect of PostScript (which James Gosling made after Emacs but before Java), which it has all kinds of extensions for multiple drawing surfaces (canvases), events, light weight threads, networking, object oriented programming, etc.

So for example PizzaTool would fork off a light weight thread to handle spinning the pizza, and another one to draw toppings, and the user interface had its own thread of course. So the user interface would not freeze up while it drew toppings and spun the pizza, all at the same time!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS

>NeWS was architecturally similar to what is now called AJAX, except that NeWS coherently:

> - used PostScript code instead of JavaScript for programming.

> - used PostScript graphics instead of DHTML and CSS for rendering.

> - used PostScript data instead of XML and JSON for data representation.

You don't have to look at specific data. You could glean a lot simply from the fluctuation of the aws bill of a competitor. Oh look, the AWS usage went down by 10% after we launched 1 day shipping. Or look, some competitor's Black Friday usage didn't spike as much as it did last year, etc.
There was a thread [1] here a few days ago about the book "The Body Keeps the Score", which examines the link between emotions and physical pain.

I posted the comment [2] that is still top of that thread; basically I've been living this for many years. I've certainly found that chronic back pain (which I've experienced) responds to deep emotional healing.

Physical exercise is important too; I'm not claiming, and you shouldn't accept anyone else's claims, that emotion-based treatments will magically heal the pain without exercise or physical therapy.

But the reverse applies too, and the subconscious mind can certainly keep muscles tense and joints out of alignment for a long time, in spite of any exercise or physical therapy you undertake.

I'll repeat the offer that I made in that subthread: I'll be writing a document or perhaps rather starting a discussion forum, so that I can explain everything I've experienced and learned, and allow others to take what they need from it.

Feel free to email me (address in profile) to be included.

Be assured, there are things that can be done. I know how you feel, but trust that you don't need to suffer like this forever.

The thing that really helped for me was Alexander Technique. You have to find a good teacher - there are a lot of cranks, unfortunately - but the good ones are amazing.

My teacher helped me to work on my underlying habits around movement and posture. Once I had worked through that, I was pain-free enough to be able to start doing weight lifting. The lifting helped a lot, but it was only possible because of the Alexander.

> At least we should never run out of IPv6 addresses.

This is true in terms of the raw total number of IPv6 addresses.

Everything I've seen discussing them assumes they'll be assigned hierarchically, though, which is a great way to ensure most of them are never used. Block assignments through a hierarchy can chew through any number of addresses no matter how big the space is.

IMHO there is one killer feature for decentralised payment systems: it allows people who can not get a bank account with reasonable terms to make monetary transfers. People who are born into rich first world countries don't realise how difficult it can be. In many places in the world you can not get a bank account unless you have an address. You can not rent a place unless you can transfer money. You are stuck. Even when I first moved to the UK, there were many flats I couldn't get because 1) my bank account in Japan refused to let me transfer money internationally (because I'm wasn't a permanent resident of Japan) 2) I couldn't get a bank account in the UK without a permanent UK address 3) Most letting agencies wouldn't take cash. I eventually had to make a 5 month deposit (think London prices!!!) to get someone to take cash so I could get a bank account.

There are lots of these kinds of catch 22s in the world and they are much, much, much worse in developing countries that have a large disparity between haves and have-nots. There are places where you are basically locked out of commerce of anything larger than pocket money -- because that's the way the large institutions want it. If they allow you to do business as all, it comes with a really hefty price tag.

The potential Bitcoin for me has always been one of 2 things: 1) a potentially convenient way to do online shopping 2) a way to enable commerce for the poor or disadvantaged. For years and years, I was unable to to get a credit card in Japan because they were unavailable to people without permanent residence status. Even now, the only bank that agreed to give me a business account for my consulting company refuses to allow the business to have a credit card. I can not buy any business related supplies on credit. I can not make online purchases for my business in most cases. This is insanity, but there are no banks who care where I live and they have a monopoly.

This is the advantage of something like Bitcoin. It breaks the monopoly of the banks. Of course, that comes with a whole raft of problems, but it really is frustrating when people in privileged positions just refuse to put the effort into seeing that their privilege doesn't extend to everyone in the world.

Edit: I should actually add that patio11 does actually understand the banking difficulties in Japan, and has written a bit about it before ;-)

To make matters more complicated, the primary reason the UK isn't part of the Euro is because Britain crashed out of the pan-European exchange rate controls in 1992; if it wasn't for the "Black Wednesday" crisis, the pound sterling may have been abolished, again without popular referendum.

Both predicting and contributing to this crisis was George Soros, who shorted the pound sterling and profited immensely from it. This is one of many reasons he is a controversial figure in some circles.
I’ve found great relief from my chiropractor. My chiropractor will first use an electrical stimulator to relax the muscles, adjust the spine to restore movement, and... nothing else. Repeat a couple times a week until the issue is resolved, and.... nothing. Return if the problem returns.

Other chiropractors are trying to lock you in to a treatment plan, x-rays, etc. whatever they can do to bill your insurance for more and more.

Yet another type of chiropractor will sell you crystals etc.

There are major problems with chiropractors. Find a good one.

It’s changed my life, but I expect you’ll find many who have employed the other two types and aren’t as complementary.

Good luck.

Did you doctor at least prescribe some prednisone and cyclobenzaprene? That seems to be the standard treatment when I take three hours to crawl to the bathroom and finally make it to urgent care.
Your link gives me a 404, but it looks like you're referring to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1469835/ right? This article does not mention krypton at all, by name. Do you have anything that talks about this statement you made, in particular?

My ISP offers IPv4 only. I've used Windows, various flavors of Linux, macOS, iOS, FreeBSD, Playstation 4, Apple TV, and Android, and they have all "just worked" flawlessly without me ever having to manually tune anything. I'm curious what issues you are running into.
Agreed. Remember any story coming from the CIA is going to put them in the best light.

If there is a civil war and the CIA backs one side with weapons, and that side wins, it doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t have won without CIA support.

Using AWS backup service for backup and recovery
Yes, but that's an entirely different and complicated can of worms.

Due to its 'highly secure nature' it was sought after by individuals within regimes that had known surveillance and BB was way ahead of FB/Google in terms of attention by national powers around the world and having to 'deal with them' - at very least because it was actually used by entities in the first place! One of the drawbacks of Barack Obama using your device is that it's 'front and centre' and 'widely used' by every relevant 'agency' in the world.

It was a hugely difficult issue; hackernews tends to be 'anti state surveillance' in all forms - personally, I'm not as long as there's judicial oversight/applied properly (though sometimes it's not the case even in 'good' regimes) - the fact is basically every country you can think of wanted some type of special deal, the details of which I'm not at liberty to go into sufficed to say it was complicated on every level.

I can say however that Venezuela specifically was never going to get any help from us, and that BB was huge in that country due to it's effective protection from federal sources. Several countries like this were 'big blips' in sales due to the networking effects of this and other things. Penetration of BlackBerry around the world was very irregular, not like other platforms.

The payout is not negative. ISPs, especially mobile ones, are rewarded for turning on IPv6 because IPv4 addresses are expensive and CGNAT causes a host of issues for customers.

This could be an excellent way to convert those who enjoy the command line (including me). I get awfully sick of google's garbage, "We've detected automated traffic from your systems." I don't scrape stuff, but if I did, so what? This is worse on things like tor or if I can't use JS. Why can't I just type in a query and get back a result?

Now, please make this an actual CLI. I want to type `search "performant c hash table"` from my command line and get back results. I can open the resultant link in something like lynx, as all I need is probably textual. This is perfect for development use cases.
> 2) surely we'd have noticed if there was a space fuel depot

> 2b) if there was, why would it need to find it at a lower altitude?

Well, it's a space plane, so I was thinking of a more exotic variation of conventional air refueling, but upon further thought that seems very unlikely as if it was that easy to get from land to the refueling point and from the refueling point to space, we'd see that as the usual way to get to orbit instead of rockets (or rocket attached ships). I don't spend a lot of time thinking about rocketry and orbit unless in a discussion about it, so this wasn't immediately obvious to me initially.

That said, it's possible that some satellites actually contained extra fuel for future use when deployed, either in them or as a separate attached payload. In that case, there wouldn't be one large space fuel depot, but possibly many small ones.
I thought maybe this would be an actual terminal client, as in a way to search DDG via the terminal.
> But the public gets time to evaluate it before it's blasted to users.

I believe I understand the implied difference between sequestering a video somewhere where it can be evaluated by the public and simply "blasting it to users" alongside content they are consuming, but I wonder if sequestering videos in this way would have the effect you think it will have. It's a system that would reward highly provocative videos with the potential to immediately go viral regardless of their intrinsic merit or truthfulness.

> A lot of people got triggered by the term "journalist."

Right. The issue with the system you're describing is, entirely too many people will react to an online story from the NY Times pointing out a dozen untruthful things about the latest, newly introduced and sequestered angry political ad from whoever by delighting in the distress caused by the lies in the ad, joking about how the libs have been owned, passing links around to the video, and generally spreading falsehoods about the critiques of the ad and the people doing the critiqing. If the whole trolling effort is successful then it will become a meta-story about stupidity and falsehood among the people who aren't dumb enough to believe whatever is being asserted in the ad, but the one thing that will not happen is everyone joining together to condemn the falsehoods in the ad.

> I'm using that term broadly, to include anyone from a hobbyist with a blog to the mass media.

Right, and as nice and democratizing as that can be, the practical effect is often to legitimize bullshitters and put them on the same level as serious people. I am afraid in the example above that is part of how these ads would go viral.

Or maybe it's not all that bad. I guess I hope not. I do think your idea is interesting.

Copied from a thread comment I read years ago which changed my life.

>I suffered from chronic pain that was starting to seriously interfere with my life for a couple of years. I could find neither a cause nor non-invasive solution till I read The Mind-Body Prescription[0]. It quickly and completely fixed my problem.
I actually learned about the book here on HN: I'm usually a very skeptical person, but enough self-proclaimed skeptics (who were embarrassed to admit they even read it) claimed success with it that I decided to check it out.

I highly recommend reading it (with an open mind) if you're suffering from a chronic ailment that lacks an obvious physical cause. I used it for chronic pain, but the author claims success with just about any other type of "catch-all" diagnosis that doctors make when they're stumped, like IBD.

BTW: the doctor is an American psychiatrist with a long career, so it's not your usual alternative medical book. But I consider it "alternative medicine" in that it's based on similar principles as some other alternative medicines and the theory does not seem to have any sort of acceptance in the western medical community. (The author cites his evidence, and provides his explanation for why the medical community rejects that sort of evidence.)

He's getting downvoted for excessive self promotion often without a disclaimer. If you look at his comment history, he's non-stop spamming his own product, gun.js. If you search for gun.js, almost all mentions are made by him: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

There's only a small handful of HNers who upvote OT/CRDT/sync/realtime database submissions. So by now everyone is tired of seeing him promote gun.js again and again without contributing any other relevant technical insights.

Which is a goddamn shame. There aren't that many others who have first hand experience implementing these systems successfully. The other regulars who always appear in these threads get upvoted to high heavens even if they aren't saying much because we value these first hand accounts so much (josephg for share.js, raphlinus for xi editor's crdt, etc). But unfortunately after seeing gun.js hundreds of times I still have no idea how it works and his code is completely unreadable.

I don't think he realizes that if he had just explained why gun.js is amazing in a relevant way, others would help promote gun.js for him.
