I have made long research and comparison about this. My budget was $1200 usd. My need basically browsing, sending email, write docs and coding. Nothing fancy and i have small working room.

Finally, i bought 38inch curve ultrawide (was huge 25% discount). I found it amazing and been using it for 1 year now. I have 34inch flat screen at office, but i prefer 38inch.

I tried more than 40 inch screen at office but i got neck problem for that.

You’re asking me to prove a negative. That’s not how it works. You’re the one trying to advance a theory.

My counter argument here is simple:

1. You have outlined a pattern of behavior that in your opinion indicates that someone is a paid shill.

2. However you yourself have engaged in the exact pattern of behavior you describe.

3. Therefore we are left with two options:

A: Your theory is correct, and you are a paid shill for renewables.

B: You are not a paid shill, and hence the pattern of behavior you describe is not actually strong evidence of shilling.

Which one is it?

I think you've misread my comment. Also, of course theory could be used to make judgment given all the necessary context, but the context, in this case, is much harder to obtain than the theory. If we knew whether a language's type system being sound is greatly positive (for some metric), slightly positive, neutral, slightly negative or greatly negative, then the knowledge that a certain language is sound or not could be valuable in making certain judgments. But PLT does not even attempt to ask that question, and it seems to be a much harder question than the ones PLT does ask.

Don't get me wrong -- I think that PLT is a valuable theory, but people are often confused about what it actually studies. PLT most certainly cannot tell us whether certain language designs are desirable or not as that is not what the theory studies. It can't even tell us if certain language designs lead to more correct programs or programs that are easier to read. It does tell us that if certain typing rules are used, then, say, all types in the language can be inferred, or that a system with certain typing rules is sound.

The initial question was whether cryptocurrencies have the capacity for consumer protection measures, not whether those measures are ready for prime time. I'm just arguing that when they're ready, they'll be more efficient than what we have, so we should encourage their development in the meantime (though maybe not in Libra's particular case).

Also, there are limits on how old a transaction can be when a bank goes and rewrites history. In my experience the limit is about six months. Transactions older than than are considered settled.

If this is a feature that people want in a cryptocurrency, it shouldn't be hard to achieve with smart contracts. The problem right now is just that you need a solid settlement layer before you work on features supporting the politics of rejiggering unsettled transactions.

Also, provided there is community consensus (this differs based on whether your currency is proof of work or proof is stake) blockchains can be altered after-the-fact to undo a threat. It happens:
https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/telecom/internet/ethereu...

It's just that for most currencies, it's currently a political affair that occurs at a risk to the stability of the overall system. But there are (what appear to be) good technical solutions to that (decred, for example, has a neat approach to post-fork-attempt stability https://medium.com/decred/detailed-analysis-of-decred-fork-r...).

As far as deciding whether a transaction ought to be settled in the first place, people are experimenting with some really interesting approaches (https://particl.wiki/learn/market/mad-escrow for instance).

It's probably not time to forget your bank password and switch to crypto, but if we want to eventually have good solutions to our fraud problems then we should be working to shape crypto into the system we want, not dismissing it as inflexible.

Congress should bring back the "FCC fairness doctrine"[0] and tie it into tax deductible for news outlets. If you're willing to be an unbiased source for news, you get tax benefits, if you want to be partisan you're a private company.

Problems solved by computers are easy to scale. So the bigger the company gets the more profits it will make. The entry costs are high, eg. pay 10 engineers for 3 years to build a product that you are not sure people want. And even if its better in every aspect it will be hard to get people to switch from products they are already used to and solves the problem good enough, and is also free.

Shader language programming is one of most fascinating environments I know. Everything tells me that reading and writing data via texture coordinate lookups should be orders of magnitude slower than "normal" programming, yet it often is orders of magnitude faster.
To the best of my knowledge, no deployed banking system relies on immutable ledgers. They all rely on detection and revision of ledgers. Libra has chosen to do something fundamentally different, and the author is asking why.
> Yeah, and that means (at least for me) non-coherency of the platform.

Then don't install old apps and you'll get coherency. This is much better than outright blocking those old apps for everyone.

> FYI: the reason Microsoft can’t remove this control panel stuff is because some legacy apps (mostly designed for enterprise) installs DLLs that adds a control panel item

If I were Microsoft, I would remove the "Control Panel" as a program the user can open, but keep the underlying framework. Then, if a legacy program adds a control panel item, I'd place a shortcut to that item in modern Settings. It might not be 100% visually perfect, but you'd get most of the way there.

If there's some technical reason Microsoft can't do that (I don't understand how there could be—we're talking about shortcuts), at minimum the legacy Control Panel shouldn't appear until a 3rd party item is pushed to it, and it shouldn't contain any Microsoft settings. The current situation is completely unnecessary.
I did not. However, her continued attacks on real science did upset me enough to make a new account to comment (I forgot my old password). But if I had made an anonymous account to bash her it would make sense, considering the irrational rabid behavior of her fan base that ignores all of the reproducible studies in favor of her feel-good frauds.
I think OP was speaking of the userbase + what the users submit. It's the same problem when you want to switch to a "privacy-oriented" chat client. What's the point of being alone to chat, when most of your social network is elsewhere and doesn't want to move a toe?

Your wallet can be stolen and when using crypto so it doesn't solve 3 very well.

Credit card fraud is regulated such that the consumer is protected after a manageable amount of theft, $50 in the US last I looked. If you use a bank you receive some protections but at that point the implantation is abstracted and not that relevant.

IMO Cryrto is significantly worse in case 3.
What do you mean by "fucks over"? People want to reduce CO2, they want a greener Germany, a greener world and more importantly reach the climate agreement. Subsidizing electric cars is one step towards it.
If you understand data structures and algorithms then, in my view, it demonstrates that
1. You recognize the importance of understanding the principles and foundations of your field.
2. You understand that knowing the fundamentals isn't about "writing algorithms everyday", it's about growing your ability to think deeply and creatively about a problem without constantly flailing around in ignorance.

I often hear that learning algorithms / data structures is pointless these days because it encourages reinventing the wheel or it wastes time. I believe the opposite is true. People who are ignorant will keep reinventing the wheel, they just won't realize they are doing it and how poorly they are doing it.

Learning algorithms and data structures will enhance your ability to write software because you will have a deeper understanding of how things work. When you understand how things work you can build interesting things.

Of course, if you just want to be a non-contributing faceless code monkey at a corporation where you don't matter and get a decent paycheck well, you probably can skate by in mediocrity.
If you want to be able to build things that don't rely entirely on the work of others that actually understood what they were doing then you need to put in the time. The return on that investment lasts a lifetime.

Doesn't sound as leadership were scared of them then. Dismissal processes for things that aren't gross misconduct frequently take a while as they go through various warning stages.
No, they are utah based. Utah has a very specific mindset. Its neither better not worse, but distinct from the nation, and neighboring states, in a way hard to pin down. Yes, tons of mormons play a large factor, but does not encompass the whole distinction. Not every implication is nuanced or implying something large, often we just see something is going on beyond the normal noise.
I really don’t know that much about Mercedes. I know more about BMW because they published some info about their autosar implementation. There’s a lot of technical debt, that I think most automakers need to pay back before they go fully autonomous. They can’t just do what they have always done and just add an Autonomy ECU, connectivity ECU, and a EV ECU. And even if they could, they realize they are going to give too much value to their suppliers if they did.
> All a blockchain is, is a Merkle tree with a third party that ensures there is only one “main line”.

No. The "wasteful part" is also part of the definition of the blockchain.

Just because the word "blockchain" seems to describe only the data structure, doesn't mean that's the case.

The innovation was to couple a Merkle tree with a proof-of-work system. Both existed before in standalone forms. The Merkle tree in many, many applications, the proof-of-work for example in Hashcash to combat email spam.

Only the combination of both reached a level of novelty that deserved a new name.

(That we still haven't found a single compelling use case is another matter.)

What you mean is indeed succinctly and correctly named "Merkle tree" or "hash tree". It would have been wasteful to coin another word for it.

Why the Fuck Do We Exist: Five Years
Hi everyone!

I recently launched a digital marketing agency that will only work with companies in the technology space (a few industries).

Our main point of difference is that we hire marketers, content writers AND engineers so we can really go in-depth on various topics, not just scratch the surface like most marketing writers with no technical background do.

What do you think? Is this point of difference solid enough?
We gave up on farms in the 80s. Agriculture is just another industrial process now.

Since we subsidize growing vegetables in the desert and abroad, the market for stuff like vegetables, dairy and meats is hyper-consolidates. There are viable farms on the fringes, but they cannot get capital to grow and cannot compete.

I grew up in an area of upstate NY that was a breadbasket at one time, with a rich, diverse agriculture market that is dead. If you're a baseball fan and drive to Cooperstown on US Route 20, you can see the communities that you drive through rot away a little more every year.

In my town, 12 dairy farms operated in the late 90s (down from 30+ in the 60s). One remains today. Across New York, 60-70% of remaining farms will be bankrupt in the next couple of year.

The farm I worked on as a teen was about 750 acres and operated continuously and profitably since an ancestor received a land grant from the Dutch colonial government in the 1600s. Today, they were forced to be hobby farmers -- they board horses and hay to pay the property taxes and work elsewhere. (Due to limited water table, they can't subdivide the property enough to make enough money on the land)
Nice! I'd pondered using this technique for a while; since each shader compute element is a fairly powerful processor on its own, this can effectively run one copy of the emulator for every pixel.

Unfortunately since emulation is an "embarrasingly serial" problem, it doesn't go particularly quickly.

Banks and insurance companies tends to disagree with you.

Maintaining software is just like maintaining buildings, if you don't they fall apart, but mainly it's just about checking that everything is still the same it was when it was built.

You don't change elevators in a building just because the old model is not supported anymore.

There's no conceot of "not maintained anymore" for elevators.

So maybe the poster was trolling, but it is true that you cannot rely on Macs if your software has a predicted life span longer than a couple of years.

> Business needs change

Again, many established businesses work because they don't change much over time.

They just keep doing what they do best.

> that code should’ve been updated.

That code worked, why in the hell risking to introduce new bugs?

I worked on software packages made by millions of lines, you don't just update them because your supplier won't bother supporting your workflow for at least 10 years.

Even Github, a modern fast changing company, was running on Rails 3.2 that was released in 2012 until September 2018, they switched to 5.2 and it took a tech company with some of the smartest engineers around and Rails contributors one year and a half.
If you want to be pedantic, macOS and variants.

I didn’t say that MS isn’t good at maintaining backwards compatibility. My mom in fact uses my old Mac Mini 1.66Ghz Core Duo introduced in 2006 running Windows 7 and I just retired a Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz laptop introduced in 2009 from running my Plex Server running Windows 10.

I’m saying that it hasn’t been a sound business strategy as the rest of the tech industry has moved on. Windows (not Microsoft) has failed in the cloud, the web browser market, and mobile.

I feel like a much simpler correction might have been “you meant application ID instead of key handle”, given that the application ID is based on the individual server (it’s generally partly the URL and a server-provided challenge), and is combined with the token secret key to create the full handle.

Nothing in my comment implied that if google betrayed you, it would leak your facebook token.

You don't feel bad for them because you've speculatively determined they're all hypocrites? Glad to see casual bigotry is acceptable on HN.

LTSB/LTSC isn't an alternate version of Windows per se. It's a "branch" of Windows 10 that gets security updates but not feature updates.

As far as I'm concerned, LTSC is _perfect_. I want security updates, but I don't want the rest of my OS to change out from under me. And, because the security updates are much smaller, they download and install far more quickly.
To be clear, this particular emulator is a lot slower than an Apple I emulator on a normal CPU.

>> MacOS variants - iPhones, iPads, and Macs

As an outsider, it is very difficult for me to understand Apple's story on whether these devices are, or are not, on the same OS; what its/their "root" was; and what's the future direction (separate OS, or convergence, and if latter which one will form the core and which one will transform). The newest "iPad OS" or whatever it is called does not help matters - again, as an outsider, I cannot tell if this is a marketing differentiation or a true one.

All that being said, I rather thought that iPhones & iPads run "iOS", and Macs run "OSX", and that they were different.

If Googlers want to shoot their own feet off, I’m not seeing a problem with that. This isn’t improving their image as a tech company, and all they are doing is creating gaps in the market for someone else to go in and fill. In the long run, Google will probably lose a lot of business if they continue to give in to these protests.
