Yes there is an advantage. US investors could be assessed at long-term rather than short-term capital gain rate by using such type of structures. I simply argue that this is not a core part of a quant fund's business. Any capable hedge fund could hire lawyers to set up such structures.
Duckduckgo claims to use 400 sources [0], so you’re probably not totally spot on.

Edit: However, that includes their Instant Answers feature, and the numbers are outdated, it’s 1600 sources, most of which are catering to an specific and tiny niche (like angular.js docs, or a dictionary of accounting terms). Main sources are Bing, Yahoo, Wolfram Alpha and their own crawler (according to Wikipedia).

Brisbane, Australia is one place that should really be on permanent "daylight savings time" relative to Melbourne and Sydney, or to put it a different way, be UTC+11 rather than UTC+10.

Sunrise tomorrow morning will be 4:57am and by the solstice - 4:45am. Sydney on DST will be a much more civilised 5:57am. That's sun shining in your window being on the East coast, it's actually getting light much earlier!

If Brisbane was permanently UTC+11 it would be on the same time as Sydney through summer (DST is 6 months of the year) and then an hour ahead for winter. The latest sunrise time in winter would then be 7:38am which is the same as Melbourne's and 1/2 hour later than Sydney. But given it's the dry season and rarely overcast, daylight will begin more like 7:00am.
Are you sure? Sometimes the title of a page is the url (or they use the url when the title is missing?). I see titles mostly.
Yeah, definitely. A layout that’s slightly worse for your fingers, but significantly easier to remember, might end up being superior overall
I think it's more "test with users but keep programmers/power users happy". Old accounts (or maybe accounts they deem to be 'power users'?) still see the green http/s links, and my search for "mortgages" doesn't show the favicons like the reddit suggests.

In my opinion, micropayment is more or less a solved problem these days, at least on mobile.

I'm an old fart, I never understand why free games can make a lot of money from selling "powerups" and even vanity stuff like "skins", but as we all know, it's big money.

I even don't understand people buying scratch cards/vouchers from convenience stores with marked-up price.

TL;DR: Lots of free apps/games, yet people pay, sometimes at premium/need to literally walk to a shop.

And, not only Google Play or Apple AppStore, WeChat and other super-apps are also enabling micro payments.

Some issues are still valid though, such as monopoly by the middlemen.

I think you would generally have the same issues as running a general data center on-prem. I have not seen any resources yet for running one specifically for k8s. I managed a beowulf cluster for a while for running one. It was a complete pain.
Ask HN: How do you spot a classic book before it becomes popular?
In the world of software engineering and programming, there are some books that are widely agreed as classics. E.g.:

- "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture", Martin Fowler

- "Refactoring", Martin Fowler

- "The Practice of Programming", Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike

- "Code Complete", Steve McConnell

- "The Pragmatic Programmer", Dave Thomas and Andrew Hunt

- "The Mythical Man-Month", Frederick P. Brooks Jr.

Outside of software engineering, there are books like:

- "Getting to Yes", Roger Fisher and Tahl Raz

- "Never Eat Alone", Keith Ferrazzi, William L. Ury, and Bruce Patton

I'm sure some of you have bought some of these books before they ever became popular and you at least had a gut feeling that the investment was worth it very early on.

My question is: can you tell, maybe in retrospect, how you spotted such classics?
> According to Sargent, 45% of Macmillan's e-books were being borrowed from libraries, a number he says is growing rapidly.

That sounds like a big number. I don't know how much an author makes from a library borrow compared to a regular purchase, but I'd wager increased library borrowing is a net bad thing for author paychecks. So MacMillan is trying the same tactics movie studios use (I sure can't borrow a DVD from my library when the film is in theaters, let alone buy it) to throttle free access when a book's value is highest (new release). This seems reasonable to me.
This is equivalent to sitting three people back to back and they can only tap each other as a form of communication. Left hand for rotate left right hand for rotate right. The Eeg is not amazing we know they can be used to estimate intent and play games. Tms has a physical feeling to it and in this case a visual phosphene cue. You haven't introduced thoughts magnetically you've introduced a feeling.
Then just adjust the time you do it instead of forcing everybody to deal with DST.
The Two Bobs: A Note on Cults of Personality
Tup runs what is effectively a bash build script, but does so under ptrace (or equivalent) so it knows about every file that has been checked (and IIRC even those that were missing). So you basically write a "from scratch" build script and that's it.

To rebuild, it will rerun the script, except that it knows which file it reads (and which mustn't exist), so if nothing is changed, it can skip that stage. There is no inherent difference between the compiler binary (say, /usr/bin/gcc), the system include (/usr/include/stdio.h), and the project source.

It makes for a super simple build script, which, after one successful build, gives tup enough information about dependencies and parallelization opportunities, while at the same time also tracks toolchains better than you can manually (does /usr/bin/gcc shell to /usr/bin/x86-gcc or /usr/bin/amd64-gcc ? did one of them change but not the other? was it the one we need? tup knows)

Unfortunately, it is nontrivial; it can uses ptrace or fuse to trace file access on Linux, IIRC has some other hack on Windows - and little to no support for other systems. Also, the overhead is in the single digit % last time I checked.

Why would they. People who break DRMs for fun and profit look with disdain at their whitehat counterparts.

Same with ad fraud. People in that particular business take pride at being able to fool boatload of best and brightest computer scientists who work at bot detection

> We crack down on 'illegal immigrants' and make legal immigration all but impossible - and push the desperate into the hands of real criminals that then abuse them, e.g. by stuffing them in a sealed container in which they freeze and suffocate to death on their way to their enslavement in the UK.

Another take on this is that, by making uncontrolled immigration illegal, we make the potential immigrants think twice before coming here and potentially becoming a slave etc.
Another factor to consider that I don't see brought up much is having the sun in your eyes while driving. It seems to me that this is more hazardous in the mornings, when you're still trying to wake up and (possibly) dealing with fog/frost on your windshield as well.

Also, I have no issues with going to work when it's dark out, but going home after dark has a more forlorn feel to it. I think permanent DST - in many latitudes - would alleviate the worst effects for drivers.

> And you're continuing to argue as though the vast already thoroughly corrupted institution already doing that is somehow better.

No, I'm arguing that that institution should not be given vast new powers to determine what can and cannot be said, based on what it deems to be true and false.

> I'm saying exactly that laws to police speech can be done right.

The right way to do it is to not give the government the power to censore "untrue" speech in the first place. What you're proposing is incredibly dangerous, and would be a clear break with the 1st Amendment - the bedrock of American democracy.

> Is this prediction based on something besides your own biases?

It's based on a simple analysis of what would serve the interests of those who wield great influence in government. Since November 2016, I've heard lots of liberals argue for censorship of "untrue" or far-right speech. They seem to imagine that they can create a system in which they will determine what is true or acceptable, and that those definitions will be imposed on the "bad guys." I think that's incredibly naive. Lots of conservatives call Black Lives Matter "hate speech" and the like. If you give them a tool to suppress speech, they'll turn it against BLM and other causes they dislike.

> I said no such thing. Please read my posts if you intend to respond to them.

You're arguing against the 1st Amendment. You want to impose an official government standard of what is true and false, which can be used to muzzle speech. I get that you want this standard to be objective, but the obvious direction that such laws will go is towards wide-ranging political censorship. The 1st Amendment is central to American democracy, and one shouldn't play around with it. Leave it alone. You can't ban people you think are wrong from speaking. Try arguing against them, convincing them.
This is assuming a lot. What about low income people that don't have smartphones?

I seriously doubt anyone would love time changes like this. If you want to make a schedule 6 months in advance, everything is shifted by a couple of hours.

I switched to Ecosia a while ago and most of my searches return relatively solid results. For the ones that don't, you can type a #g at the end of your search term to continue to use google. They claim to not maintain search history profiles, they still have URLs, and they implement more search features regularly from what Ive seen. Not as private as DDG, but its definitely a step in the right direction. Oh and they plant a tree for every 40 searches or so.
I used Cray and huge CDC mainframes way back when. Fun stuff.

That said, my Linux laptop with a 1070 GPU and CUDA does about seven trillion float operations a second. For modern times, the old mainframes don’t seem useful.
Why don't you go to work an hour earlier?

Now, of course not everybody gets to choose their working hours; but chances are, with the loss of productivity in the early and dark winter mornings, those that don't get to choose get their shifts moved an hour later, negating any supposed benefit.

Some people take for granted that they can wake up and function in pitch black just as well, despite never having tried that. Where I'm from, if it were permanent DST year around, at the end of this month the sun wouldn't rise until 10 in the morning - and I'm as close to the equator you can get in this country! (Now of course it's not pitch black right until the sunrise, but if the sun rises at 10, it is pitch black at 8).
Long story short, WASM must be removed from browsers before it reaches wider adoption. And along with other completely unneeded APIs.

Parties opposing that must be expelled from standard bodies.

PJON (pronounced pigeon as I have just learned) looks exciting but it seems like it’s trying to provide globally addressable devices, as well as local ones?

In the case of global addressing, don’t we already have an open and free protocol in the form of IPv6? Some quick googling found LWIP which provides an IPv6 stack in “tens of kB” which seems comparable to PJON’s “4kB to 8kB” but maybe that size difference really is important?

You don't like "doing things outside in the summer after 6:30pm".

You like doing things outside in the summer when the sun is at a certain point.

That seems a bit harsh. If I own a building and somebody sprays an antisemitic or jihadist message on its wall, am I now complicit for spreading racial hatred (assuming in Europe, in US it's probably protected by constitution)?
To add to this, whether you like it or not, life has generally shifted towards the evening hours. In the morning people commute, and they get up so early that DST versus wintertime doesn't make a difference anyway- it's dark in the winter.

Personally, I get depressed for weeks every time we shift from DST to wintertime. I just can't stand the fact that after the shift the evenings are suddenly so dark. I'd appreciate DST the whole year round, too.
I think you mean cube.

A most interesting paragraph for those who may not read the whole article:

"Since the first atomic tests in the 1940s all new steel is contaminated by the radioactivity that is present in the air and is drawn into the furnaces during production. When uncontaminated steel is needed for medical and scientific instruments it can only be obtained from metal produced before the first atomic test. So it is that small amounts of steel are occasionally salvaged from the Koenig to make instruments. Some of these instruments are used in the space program and part of a WWI German battleship has been to the moon."

I don't understand what these people are complaining about - that's great and there should be many more such cities.

The second-largest cryptocurrency is about a year away from a sharding system that multiplies scale by a factor of 512, with room to grow as hardware improves.

That's for purely on-chain transactions. There's also a partly-offchain solution called "zkrollups" that uses zero-knowledge proofs to reduce the storage for a simple value transfer to 11 bytes, without introducing any unpleasant security assumptions like requiring the user to be online to receive payment or prevent cheating. Combining that with sharding gets to about a quarter million tx/sec.

If that's not sufficient for micropayments, it's fairly straightforward to extend zkrollups to make payments probabilistic: e.g. to pay one penny, send a 1% chance of paying a dollar. There are some potential doublespending issues here but for voluntary tips that's not a problem.
This maybe the straw that’ll break the camel’s back.

I’m each day more pissed off with AMP. It’s taken over the web to such degree that it became essentially a first barrier to whatever content I’m accessing.

The experience is so terrible that I refuse to use it, so there goes another tap reload to access the real thing.

And sometimes the site refuses me. For whatever reason, I get stuck on a poorly implemented Google paywall even though I’m a paying customer of the site.

And now this. Wrapping the original URL on search results wasn’t enough it seems.

Add that to Gmail’s general suckiness and I can see them bleeding the advanced users that got them where they are pretty fast.

The poll in Spain also had a huge majority for permanent DST, but the government says they lean towards standard time anyway, because "experts".

In my case, the search did not stop, the circles just found new dimension.

Ciao gorgoiler, take a look to PJON's address space:
https://github.com/gioblu/PJON/blob/master/specification/PJO...

"The PJON protocol v3.1 in local mode supports connectivity for up to 254 devices, in shared mode supports connectivity for up to 4.294.967.295 buses (groups of devices) and up to 1.090.921.692.930 devices."

That means 32 bits for the bus id, and 8 bits for the device id.

Another interesting side-effect of the address-space scheme and the dynamic meta-data inclusion in the packet is the overhead:

"It supports interoperability between systems that use a different configuration and provides with high efficiency including only the protocol's features used and the overhead effectively required (5-22 bytes)"

In terms of minimum requirements PJON is uncomparable to IPv4 or IPV6 needing only in the most limited configuration: 1 IO pin, 16MHz clock frequency, 4144 bytes of program memory and 46 bytes of RAM

Value is absolutely fleeting and has no sole or permanent definition.

Gold is valuable because it's the color of the sun, keeps its mass for large periods (doesnt oxide) and is rare enough to not be found in any idiots garden every other week.

A rocket or an airplane are much more valuable than their weight in metal, sure, but they wear over time. After 200 years, go fly a rocket or a plane, same for food. So their value drop with time.

I'd much rather own a fun book today than a gold coin, but one I read the book it lost so much of its value to me I'd be totally ready to give it to a friend, who'll consider it low value therefore. What if I had bought the gold coin instead ?

If I had to attempt a definition of absolute value, I'd say objects with the most value are those whose attributes stay the same over time. Land keeps producing food, gold keeps its mass and color, culture keeps influencing or entertaining people, etc. Food and machines, meh.
