Bullshit.

There's a limited pool of talent that can generate something like this. If you make is sufficently toxic and/or difficult to work for a company that involved with flagrantly violating human rights (like NSO), you'll substantially starve them of talent.

Worst case, you'll significantly reduce the quality of their exploits. Best case, it'll be effectively unavailable.
I am sure there will be all sorts of (correct) actuarial arguments that driving my car to work is more deadly than flying in the v2 737, but I still don't want to ever fly in a 737. It's got the mark of Cain at this point. I doubt I'm the only one that feels that way.
The fact that electric cars are now 1.9% of the market is astounding! That's a lot of cars!

As the article states, these cars are expensive in the short term. But the technology adoption curve applies here, too. The early adopters that are buying right now are paying for the capacity to make future electric cars at lower prices.

The nice thing about the 11 was it was an interactive system with a terminal, not one where you submitted jobs on a card deck. The "computer room" was air conditioned with a false floor under which ran cables and the cooling system. There was a line printer to get the results instantly. There was a coded lock on the door, which is why I needed the sysop to give me access.

I later bought a Heathkit H-11 so I could have my very own PDP-11. You can see it on my twitter picture https://twitter.com/WalterBright
Once Southwest gets over the hurdle of flying something other than 737s, it'll have transatlantic ambitions.
With $7m comes an army of VC endorsed people. You need a board, because what company doesnt have a board, right? New CEO is a no-brainer. New CEO means rebranding! because he needs to leave his mark and the name is obviously wrong, you pay $50k (bargain!) for a new one, its too important to make one yourself. Bumblebloggel sounds great, has great emotions embedded in its core. Dont worry, 3-5 months down the line you will be renaming the product again because CEO is bored (or you got a new one in the mean time) and you didnt run out of money yet. You need managers, to manage. Managers need something to manage, so you hire a bunch of people. Colors are important, so you pay another $50-100k to pick a right color for you. Etc

For reference how Andy Rubin, silicon valley darling, runs his VC investments:

I'd rather he talk about why he works for a con artist who will never create self driving cars (not that anyone else will in the next few decades) but keeps promising to do it.
So what you're saying it's the sales guys that overrode the engineers. That sounds even worse.
Yes I think Mozilla would agree with both the marketshare figures, and that iOS is the only effective check on Google's mobile web dominance.

How has allowing competing browser engines on Android helped the web ecosystem? Non-Chromium browsers are a rounding error on Android.
> This seems to be written in mean spirit, but is essentially true. America is supposed to be founded upon an ideology, and deserves scrutiny whether this ideology is upheld.

This is why I admire China, and think they will win, even if they had to tie one hand behind their back. This Western notion that we have to uphold certain principles, without actually upholding them, is one of our many Achilles heels. We have to struggle with all this theoretical and historical baggage that people take soooóooo seriously, regardless of whether it really matters, sowing social discontent, and they just continue to do what's pragmatic, sowing social harmony over time as those slighted see that it is for the greater good.

The ego of the Western mind is a force to be reckoned with, for the West.

Boeing fucked up, not the FAA. The FAA is the one preventing Boeing from flying these planes because they're not safe!
They definitely did. They said they did contact Gfycat and they said that they would extend the deadline a bit. They took that as them being okay with the archive and went fully forward at the speed to be able to get the archive done in the amount of time left.

First, this is an exaggeration in my opinion. Second, this is only peripherally related to tabs and how they are used.

Oh, you'll let me? How magnanimous.

How about:

* Nobody asked you.

* Who do you think you are that I would need your permission?

* I wasn't asking permission. I was asking for a indication of interest in genuine conversation. Something you clearly lack.

* What opinions I hold regarding controversial issues are my own. What I was offering was examples of (potentially) prohibited things some people believe that are more nuanced than the cartoon bigotry.
Sigh. I mean, they have a point, but what do they really expect tech companies to do? There are some obvious cases where Google obviously does something stupid and Microsoft is more than a little oblivious as to what is going on on their search engine.

It's not like this is the first thing someone thinks about when building a product however like Dropbox or AWS and AWS is vitally important to quite a number of businesses.

Sure, they could have moderators scour through all of that, but how many trade secrets and private documents will they see in the process? Insider threat and corporate espionage is a real problem, could anyone trust them after that?
There have even been some cases where classified documents from the Department of Defence have turned up on AWS (there are a few news articles which attest to this), although perhaps it should not have been there in the first place.

There are also all the personal photos and all sorts of embarrassing things on someone's Dropbox account, unless they plan on getting some sort of warrant, then they really shouldn't be rummaging through all of that.

There are a lot of people who dream of being a musician, or an actor, or an artist, or an athlete, or some other prestigious and fun profession. It's the same thing with startups.

There is virtually zero chance they will be successful. It's not that they have time and money to burn. It's just that they are living a dream/fantasy.
> And if it is true that deep learning is stuck on just expanding what it's already doing, it might be the fundamental next advance might come from one person with one machine rather than a massive team with a massive machine. Consider that neural nets as a theory had been around since the 1990s if not the 1960s but the fundamental advantage of DL came when grad students could use GPU in the 2010s, not when massively parallel machines came into existence (quite a bit earlier).

One thing that I can't help wondering, however sci-fi it sounds, is if model simplifications like in this post might lead to models humans can fully understand, which then might lead to new styles of traditional programing - opening up whole new ways of doing things.
In general, people don't ship oil around the world for no reason, which is why US oil tends to come from the Americas.
It was pretty clear looking at the numbers from the beginning. A high percentage (I think it was 88%) of the people admitted to using black market THC vape cartridges. The other people were probably teens too afraid to admit it. I understand they can't give the all clear, but the headlines and statements by the CDC were vague and pointed toward nicotine products.

As an example, look at https://cdc.gov. The hero points to https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/basic_information/e-cigarettes/s.... Why is "THC" buried here?

The way this entire thing was handled makes me not trust the CDC. The fear-mongering was/is on par with clickbait farms.

My wife and I fit that scenario. I was on the card beta. She applied (well, I applied for her) as soon as it went wide release. Exact same credit limit, she got a five percent lower interest rate. Applications were filled out identically, I did them both.

The US has no particular interest in Saudi oil, as it doesn't provide a particularly large or irreplaceable amount of US consumption.

What binds them to the US is their dependence on weapons and military cooperation to maintain power, and conversely, the American defense industry's need for foreign markets.

The reason we hear so much about dependence on Saudi oil is to engender a false sense of helplessness and keep the latter relationship stable/unthreatened.

You're comparing life with non-existence. We (as a vegetarian I include myself in those making this "odd" argument) are comparing a more happy life or non-existence with being a slave, having your offspring forcibly taken from you, living only a few years in often terrible and freakishly unnatural conditions to then be slaughtered, possibly in another freakishly unnatural way, just so that someone who might not even pay any attention while they're eating your remains, can eat lazily, often in a suboptimal way for taste and nutrition.

I doubt ours is the odd position in all of this.
Well, someone that finds speech offensive/upsetting/etc can pretty much call it hate speech. So in the end, hate speech can be anything that upsets someone.

I mean, you can reasonably define hate speech as something any reasonable person could agree is actually potentially harmful (like promoting some kind of prejudice in some dangerous ways), and I presume that's how it's defined under legal terms, but colloquially people most likely won't be doing that.
lol i just did the interview and failed. had to find shortest path between tesla chargers. all in C++. completed it but failed
Erm, it's pretty obvious something was wrong at the FAA, in that it seems fairly clear they let Boeing dictate terms to them on multiple occasions, and effectively overrule them.

Also, the FAA were the last aviation regulator to ground the MAX.
Do you actually believe it doesn't carry other connotations which have become universally recognized?

Your argument is as naive as pretending to not recognize the swastika's association with nazis.

I don't see how it's productive to deliberately ignore how the same president that introduced the term openly supports the violent extremists that use these hats and similar symbols at demonstrations and more. You should know what it symbolizes by now.
It’s presumptive of you to call it an exaggeration and it’s wrong to say it’s “only peripherally related to tabs.” JavaScript-heavy web apps came along well before Firefox could deal with them well. Leaving Google Docs in a background tab while somebody else was editing the same document would faceplant Firefox for years. Making a tab-centric workflow viable with complex applications by isolating them in their own process space and minimizing their impact on the UI process was revolutionary.

Firefox is awesome now. We can celebrate that without rewriting the past.
Sjw and free speech are not "alt-right" terms. Both predates the existence of the alt right. The fact you believe so tells more about how indoctrinated you are.
Do you use this kind of formulation to wonder why you or people you know don't go out raping and murdering?

If not, why are you worried about what other animals do? You are a sentient being with the greatest ability to reason and empathise compared to any other species on the planet - their behaviour has nothing to do with your choices.
I mean this in the kindest way possible, but do you think it's appropriate to teach such new CSS selectors? I just bounced around the slider on your featured video and I'm seeing stuff that only hits 85-90% on caniuse.com which is unacceptable for the apps I typically do. I still have a lot of IE11 that's used in large corps, etc. I'd LOVE to use things like grid-template but I can only imagine the fallout - I've only just been able to start utilizing basic flexbox.

It may just be different audiences/userbases, idk.

In my estimation they're already there. I'd be interested to here how you measure the level upon which you gain the right not to be killed for food, as we obviously measure it differently.

Seriously, how would it be measured?

I just wish that LineageOS just picks couple of devices that they can support. So, me as a "not highly technical" user can just buy that specific device. The current at https://download.lineageos.org/ where they list every device is confusing and hard to track which is the phone most are working on. Pick one and work on it. With enough people using it, hardware makers will have a strong case to sell device that is "Lineage OS compliant" even if it's shipped with Android.

Like how GrapheneOS has focused on Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

* whatever. Didn't say I consider myself as some benevolent dictator. It just means it doesn't seem bad enough on its own to require proactive intervention.

* see above

* your misinterpretation of my comment almost seems deliberate, so "no u"

* while they surely are your own, you don't get to demand that other people must ignore their own concerns if they belive your opinions make you untrustworthy or dangerous to them.

I am allowed to base my own opinions about you on what opinions you say that you have. And I am allowed to refuse to associate with you.

If you openly tell people that you want people like me dead, I will never let you do any job for me where my life might be at risk (like medical jobs or similar). You don't get to demand undeserved trust.

I'm not sure what you're referring to but I'd be interested if you shared more. I don't know the references you make, though I do know the Alan Kay nano-Dijkstra quote.

I contest your second point, by definition my pensil and paper are not executable environments. My brain is, but this gets us into the game of "how much computer can you simulate with your brain."

Why do we play the game of simulate-the-computer? We've had computer environments for at least 40 years now that do that thinking for us, that answer our questions about control flow or definitions or alternate scenarios. We have them, they were thought up, written up and delivered. Yet as a field we value this stupid idea of working alone without help and don't teach these workflows using the computer as a partner. No, in 2019 if you can't do it on paper you don't know it. That's bullshit, yet here I am and I can do it on paper. I'm just sad for those who come after me and have to go through the same wasteful hazing.
Ask HN: How many “formal” deployment patterns exist?

Seems to me that life is fundamentally different from y = f(x). It's more like an imperative x = f(x), where the output keeps getting fed back into the input. That inherently produces more interesting behavior, even when f is relatively simple.

And the thing that is missing in AI today is the back-and-forth conversion of correlations to causal relationships, which, yes, humans are not that good at, generally don't consciously do, but have a built-in mechanism for.
Tons of people have non-demanding jobs and no children. In fact you start out life with neither of them!

Solar and wind require a huge geographic footprint to generate significant energy. Because of this constraint, the cost of wind and solar is almost entirely opportunity cost, not the mere accounting cost of producing an extra panel/turbine. The basic problem is twofold: First, as you keep adding solar/wind capacity, you inevitably get diminishing returns from worse wind/sunshine conditions, so additional installation is less productive. (Think about solar panels in valleys or windmills in low-wind areas.) Second, as wind and solar cannibalize land area to provide energy, the price of that land increases substantially as other uses are displaced. For example, let's say that a country had to displace 40% of its productive arable land in order to install wind & solar. Then the price of its farmland would skyrocket as the country continued to deploy wind & solar. In both cases, solar and wind become much more expensive per deployed panel than simply the cost per panel, which is indeed pretty inexpensive. FWIW, the article attempts to make this point, but it frankly isn't very well written, and so the point is a bit hard to understand.

As to your point about countries situated for nuclear vs wind+solar, what do you mean? Do you have any metrics? If I were to guess, wind and solar are extremely sensitive to the geography of a country (including physical and political-economic); I'd guess nuclear is mildly sensitive to political geography. Splitting the atom is not significantly harder in Indonesia or Peru than it is in France. The fact that much of French land area is rural might make nuclear marginally more useful there than in a place like e.g. Germany or the UK, with several major cities dotted across the relatively densely populated landscape. (Based on this inference, I'd imagine that the US, China, Canada and Russia would be the top four countries for nuclear, and Monaco or Luxembourg might be the worst?)
