I don't know if this building was intentionally built in the Brutalist style, or ended up that way because of the requirement that it survive a nuclear attack and budget constraints.
Yes, but we don't have empiric data on people living in a third of Earth gravity, only 0G from space stations. A third may be enough and no centrifuges necessary.
This is exactly what Chrome on iOS did: they embedded their own networking stack, but reused WebKit and JSC.
That's exactly my point. The Mozilla Corporation executives want money for their left-wing causes, so they are basically stealing it from Firefox's pockets.
No. It's not designed for that. It was designed as a minimal lanuage focussing at the bare essentials required to implement a minimal operating system with graphical user interface.

I find it funny that brutalist buildings always remind me of Nineteen Eighty Four. It is amusing then you find out it may be a hub of mass surveillance.
The 10th avenue building Google also shares with the FBI (top floor). I've always thought that the FBI taking a floor in E-Corp's building in Mr Robot was a dig at Google because of this.

But does that need to be a problem for ML-applications? I’m theory the training should be able to compensate for some broken hardware by simply moving weights around.

Anti-trust? Or have the lawyers for Apple (and Google) found the legalese to prevent this possibility?
A notably omitted section: “use cases.”

Seriously, the whole blockchain industry reeks of technologists who don’t understand business needs and business people who don’t understand the technology. Having worked in the industry myself for long enough to hit this realization I’d highly recommmend others to steer clear and not try to base their career on this stuff.

Conflictingy, I do think it’s worth most programmers’ time to at least read up on how blockchains work, as it is certainly an interesting and worthwhile academic experience in applied cryptography.

Hi. Yes, I am affiliated with Career Karma.

As far as I can see in the posting guidelines, I am not prohibited from posting links to content that I am affiliated with.

Clickbait? Maybe—if by clickbait you mean something I think people might like to click if they are interested in the topic.

I admit, I am new to Hacker News, and if I have violated any guidelines, it was not my intent.

I was proud of the work our team did on this post, so I decided to share it—much like the other links I’ve posted in the past.

Again, I honestly want to know if I have violated any rules, and if so, I will absolutely refrain from doing so in the future.

I’m sorry this one link was so offensive to some.
There is academic effort that has been working on a similar concept for 8+ years. A recent paper that also discusses some of the challenges (routing around defects, ...) is https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2019.0120... . If you dig into the publications and PhD theses conducted on this system, you will also find partial answers to some of the issues raised here in the comments (how to interconnect reticles, power supply (the first prototype had really scary centimeter thick copper bars that supplied the wafer). There is a second generation system in development..
Wrong. It refers to how many studies Rand included that support the hypothesis. Note they dont list studies they excluded.

You are _literally_ making stuff when you pretend it's a consensus. "Every single one" than Rand included.

Odd how "consensus" and "every analysis" about "concealed carry" (your words) actually means "a single study" (or is it 2?).

The meta-analysis you hold in high regard disagrees with your conclusion. Your first comment is would be more accurate if you had said:

"They simply noted that relaxing gun laws like allowing concealed carry leads to an increase in violent crime under a single analysis that Rand picked." (it could be 2, but I'm still holding out hope that you will list them:)

Anyone can look up violent crime stats in "gun free" zones like the UK or Mexico (UK link: https://americangunfacts.com)

It makes sense though, since you admit relying on a faith in Rand. You could buy the book and hold it high.

I've heard that you can't even donate any money for Firefox. All donated money are going to other projects.
Perhaps if people try to send feces or anything that is detectable and dangerous. I doubt the mailman will be impacted by a glitterbomb.
Which is a lesson they learnt well. So they’re treating Servo as a research project, chunking it into libraries, and retrofitting those libraries into the Firefox mainline.

The reason that they get shouted down is because every time they have tried to make money in other ways it has been done in shady ways. Like giving away the browsing data of their German users to Cliqz (would probably have been illegal post-GDPR) or running guerilla marketing for Mr Robot in Shield Studies (which reduces the trust from people who enabled Shield to help Mozilla with studies).

Almost nobody complains about the them taking money from Yahoo and Google for higher placement in the search engine list. And if their other revenue streams had been as transparent I think people had been fine.
Ask HN: How do you manage corporate formalities for your companies?
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. The title says it all – how do you guys manage formalities (e.g. minutes for BoDs/shareholders meetings, resolutions, annual reports, etc) for your corporation?
In my previous company (sold 2 months ago) I took care of the legal formalities, however I whished I had a little more support/ guidance to make sure our processes were compliant (our accountants were mostly focused on tax filings and didn’t have their support on this). We didn't use Clerky ourselves, I believe they may be taking care of this with one of their packages. Curious to hear what others founders think of this subject/ how you guys handle this
I wonder if users of non-RPM distros would be eager use these tools. Even if these tools are a little better (maybe they are), my guess would be only medium sized K8s users may find it worthwhile to switch.

Large users usually build their own, and small users are lazy to chase incremental improvements (if they do change they'll move to public build services).
Of course, but wouldn't that effectively defeat the purpose of removing
BREAK/EXIT in the first place? With something like:

WHILE ~(lastIteration) & ~(Found(haystackPart, Needle)) DO
(* Advance the haystackPart. *)
END;

I can at least say that after the loop if lastIteration is true, then
the needle wasn't found in the haystack. While something like

WHILE ~(found) DO
(* Stuff. *)
END;

Conveys next to no information. To say nothing about the fact that the
body of the loop will probably be full of:

IF ~found THEN
(* Stuff. *)
END
In addition to what the other replies said, feel free to eyeball the code required to embed SpiderMonkey in Firefox at https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/tree/master/dom/binding.... It's rather large and complex.

Facebook does have code that dynamically compiles arbitrary input to machine code.

That's the part Apple is not allowing in third party apps.
"Despite dropping the app in these regions, Cortana itself remains “an integral part” of the company’s business model to incorporate “conversational computing and productivity” into its products according to the spokesperson, so Microsoft doesn’t appear to be closing the coffin on it entirely."

Don't make a girl a promise... if you know you can't keep it.

Other than avoiding magic strings by swapping them for upper-cased vars, I'd love to see what you mean because it sounds interesting.
Write websites with Wasm, render UI with WebGL or something similar. Implement JavaScript as a compiler to Wasm (which runs on Wasmitself), implement HTML+CSS renderer as a library which runs on Wasm as well. So basically your browser need to implement Wasm and WebGL which sounds reasonable task. Well, that's simplification, of course, it need to implement some HTTP API like XMLHttpRequest, local storage API and so on, but it's manageable.

Here's an example of website written with Rust and rendering all UI to canvas: https://makepad.github.io/makepad/ it works right now and it's very fast and smooth.

IMO tech for next generation web apps is already here and it's great.

I imagine if you fail in your 20s, you might have to work longer before you can retire.

Though, if you fail at an older age and you are in the situation where there isn't much margin between your salary and mortgage (and supporting family), failure isn't as easy.
That's not a likely explanation when it comes to Assange. The Guardian has been terrible, and even its previous star reporter Glenn Greenwald (who won them a Pulitzer on the Snowden reporting) has been extremely critical. See for example https://theintercept.com/2019/01/02/five-weeks-after-the-gua...

Brought up again earlier this month: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1191681248453943296

That piece of fake news from the Guardian has been shared more than 25,000 times on Facebook.

I don't agree that honest reporting on Assange simply won't get clicks. But sensational fake news certainly does.
I guess the OP found out about it through Half as Interesting's most recent video:

What's life like for a young Iranian?

"With the sexes segregated at school and boys and girls discouraged from socialising together, trying to get to know members of the opposite sex is a huge preoccupation for Iranian teenagers. They hang around shopping malls, in cafes and parks, parade up and down boulevards and spend lots of time cruising around in cars."[0]

I once saw a TV doc on life in Iran. The night-time cruising reminded me a lot of the film "American Graffiti". I imagine Iranian youth would not be happy with any increase in the price of fuel.

I take your point though that widespread protests signal more than just the discontent of youth.

The corollary is that sales is appearance management. So a sales driven economy is superficial and at least one step removed from tangible value and product quality.

It's all about politics and persuasion - i.e. rhetoric, narrative, and social relationships of various kinds. Tangible value creation - in the sense of making products that reliably get the job done with low friction and consistent customer delight - plays a secondary role at best.

Which is why social media is qualitatively different to mainstream media. Access to valuable relationships, and information about personal relationship patterns (cultural, professional, social, not especially romantic) and preferences, is the product - because they can be used to amplify the effectiveness of persuasion.
Hi cofounder at Cooklist here.

Our small team has been working for nearly 2 years to build an one-in-all tool to make meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking an easy and seamless experience.

We've aggregated millions of products and recipes that you can add to your plan and then compare prices and order groceries from grocery stores across the US.

Thanks for checking out our project, we hope you like it and that it can help you save some time and money this Thanksgiving.

Happy to answer any questions.
> One cannot have writeable executable memory on iOS (apple can, we cannot).

> Thus one cannot make a JIT compiler for js and thus pages are slow.

Lack of JIT doesn't slow down pages much. I believe the difference is so small that it might even be possible to be faster without JIT for most pages, especially on low power devices, it's only computation heavy pages that are going to suffer and even then it's not like you can't optimize common patterns statically ahead of time.

It doesn't mean that it's a good idea to invest into it, you are still under Apple's mercy and they clearly don't want competing browser engines.

Pretty much. Click metrics like this might become the death of journalism.

Sure, I presume I too clicked on more news until I one day stopped reading entirely.

The Guardian website is horrible when it comes to tracking. They don't tend to mention that in their privacy-focused articles.

Here's a tweet that sums it up:

> Before science fiction became respectable—indeed, inescapable—any fan could still tell you that Robert Heinlein and Theodore Sturgeon, and before them Stanley Weinbaum, wrote circles around Arthur C. Clarke or Isaac Asimov.

Asimov has obvious technical shortcomings as a writer but his strengths more than compensate. Meanwhile much of Heinlein is so bad it's unbearable. Argue if you like, but don't claim that this opinion is unanimous.
Your comment made me even less hopeful we can colonize Mars.

What are the benefits that would drive such colonization? On Earth there were rich resources driving human expansion into new areas. This Mars expansion would be like humans repeatedly trying to live in the Atacama desert but orders of magnitude even more harsh. Mars is constantly trying to kill you, and is fantastically expensive due to the distance to Mars and cost to transport things there. What reason would we have to make us attempt it?
Yes, over billions of years the atmosphere will be stripped away. But the process is way too slow for us to worry about.
Too bad they built Brave on Chromium instead of Firefox. Which of course given that the company is run by Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich is a bit of a shame.

Firefox is showing that they are more than technically competent to keep up with Chromium and deliver great performance and functionality. With the work they are doing rewriting Firefox component by component in Rust, Google will have their work cut out keeping up in terms of performance using their C++ implementation. Competition is good.

My main question with the happiness surveys is whether what you're really getting is the answer you want to hear.

So for instance if you're Scandinavian you're expected to say you're happy. This is pretty much one of the first things everyone says when it comes to the region. And if you haven't thought too much about it lately, perhaps you are inclined to just tell the researcher a stock answer.

How do we know that people are not just saying what is expected of them? I think there's at least some evidence that people tend to do that when asked a question.

SRAM tends to use less power per bit than DRAM does since it doesn't need to be refreshed, especially with 8T cells. Well, less power when not reading and per bit read. The difference in speeds is high enough, though, that SRAM running at max bandwidth will use more power than DRAM running at max bandwidth. And there are cases, possibly even the Cerebras chip, where the cost of getting the bit where you need it to be outweighs the cost of reading it and the greater density of DRAM might make it more efficient since you don't have to spend energy transporting it so far.
Ask HN: Go to grad school in US to study CS without an undergrad degree?
I was wondering if it is possible to go for grad school in the states and study CS or any other degree (if CS program not available) without an undergrad degree. I did went to undergrad in my home country and studied generic business program but never actually finished it because of my lack of interest in it and pursuing a startup during college. Now that I want to get out of my home country I want to see if it is possible to jump the hoops of going through an undergrad and straight-up enroll for a grad school. I am 27 y/o based in South Asia.

Just some feedback:

- Show me your product. Maybe it's just me, but before I sign up for anything, I certainly like to see a glimpse of the Dashboard, a video, or an animated gif showing what your service actually does. Your site just has a bunch of fancy stock images.

- When I click on Free Trial, you take me to the login page, requiring an extra click. If I'm going for a free trial, wouldn't you want me to register for an account? Just put a login link on the menu bar so any users of yours don't have to click on a free trial link just to login.

"Free Trial" => new customers only, "Login" => not new customers only.

- Not sure if it's "just the day before", but consider options -- most people don't even remember the day of when they get a text the day before, so consider reminding an hour before or something like that if you're not going to offer options for the user to choose

- For any business or product or service, it's always good to write out a Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, especially where money is involved. I even write them out for my free products -- basically telling people not to abuse my service and just how much information I have (always good to be GDPR-conscious)

- Consider the font colors on your side where they are a "lighter effect" -specially under How It Works. For headings, certainly #000, but you still want your points to stand out, so rather than making it look dark like the headline, try something like #121212 because while gray is good... some shades can be too light for the eyes

- "Click Try Now and sign up to get 15 days for free."
I'm not here to tell you what to do, only think about the words of "click here..." but it might look better with something like this:

>Nowadays, life is hectic. We spend all day on the go. Sometimes, we may not even answer a phone call. We might be in the middle of a meeting, talking to a friend, ordering food, etc. The world demands a new way of reminding customers about appointments. Surprise your customers and friends with a friendly reminder via text message. Free up your time to do more meaningful work rather than calling every appointment to confirm.

>Sign up and get 15 days for free! No commitments! Give it a try today and see what you've been missing in your life!
