Satellite (you probably mean "aerial", commercially avaliable satellite imagery just doesn't have enough resolution) is perhaps map imagery, a supplementary source for maps; but not map data at all: maps are an interpretation of the world, imagery is "just" raw pictures.

For example, my city gets aerial imagery taken ~yearly, with resolution better than 1 ft/px. This is very precise, and the updates are frequent; yet, still insufficient to answer typical mapping questions, such as "can I get there from here, using this vehicle?" That's what a map should be able to answer: both map and aerial image can tell you "there is a vehicular track", but only the map will tell you "and it's private, and even if you don't care for signs, this gate over here is locked, so no, this does not route; you can't go over that road here, as it has a bollard in the middle; that bridge is too flimsy for you; that street is one-way but opposite; you need to go that way, but there's toll collected; otherwise, there's a lengthy detour."

Only some of these features can be inferred from an image. (Of course, the map needs to be kept up-to-date with all this data, but that's a very different story)

I don't think F5 is going to lie down and let some shady hucksters take nginx for $$$ from them. They would have already looked at the copyright situation when they bought nginx.
Thanks!

I certainly appreciate the work that’s gone into it and the new design/strategy is an excellent improvement.
This is exactly what it wants. 30% before any tax, without counting rent, etc must be spent or you face 22% tax on the unspent amount. :)
I wonder if this kind of behavior is connected to the etymology of the term "murder of crows".
I've been using OsmAnd+ on F-droid (Android). It's great and has many options. Everything works offline. It takes a bit of time to get used to it coming from Google Maps but it's worth a try.

Search has been improving recently but still lacks behind Google. Public transport and reviews are missing too.
And crosswalks are great, as when the light changes, they have the chance to eat it without getting run over.
Try listening on 0.0.0.0 which will listen on all IPs on the machine and is required for running on remote environments like repl.it. When you do that we automatically detect the port open and show you a web view.
"a bunch of protocol stuff that would be problematic once being payed for."

And there lies the rub. It is not that NN means ISPs aren't allowed to manage their networks and have to let it all melt down into a cesspool of fully congested non yielding packet spewers (which is a strawman the industry likes to portray).

If network traffic is shaped transparently and non-discriminatory (for competing services types, e.g. buffering all latency robust VoD traffic while letting all eSports gaming packets skip the queue to increase overall Quality of Experience (quality as experienced by the end users rather than pure IP level QoS is not a problem) to provide a fair playing field for service providers (favoring a YouTube packet over a Vimeo packet because the former cut you a deal is not OK) and customers (dropping Anna's Instagram packets because she did not order the 'social' option for a few dollars more, or more likely, Zero rating Instagram packets against a volume cap whereas TikTok traffic is not excused) , there is no NN problem

Intents in regulation are a thing. Disputes on interpretations and compliance are a normal part of the process.
> Project Mission: 'People are local experts on the small slice of the city they interact with daily -- the one left turn lane that always backs up or a certain set of poorly timed walk signals'

100% of the intersections I see that get backed up are backed up because someone blocks the box. Can we get more enforcement for that? They don't even need a patrol car. Just have an officer stand at the corner of Mercer and Westlake from 4pm to 7pm, and each time the light changes, walk out into the intersection and ticket the guy who's blocking it. You could write $1000 in tickets an hour, every night of the week.

Many intersections have threatening signs to this effect, but they don't do any good. I've never seen or heard of anyone getting ticketed for that.
Ask HN: What are some simple, clean, off-beat, and self-hosted blogs you follow?
I am looking for some new blogs to follow. Let me explain the three criteria in the title of this self post.

- simple: not blatantly self-promoting, focuses on a topic, discusses that topic, and the post terminates cleanly without discussing too many other distracting things.

- clean: clean design, does not hurt the eye, does not have ads, does not try to get me to click on other posts and readable both on desktop and mobile.

- off-beat: not one of the mainstream blogs like TechCrunch, Wired, etc., not one of the famous blogs like Paul Graham's, Norvig's, etc., one of the less known ones that has hidden gems one can learn something from.

- self-hosted: not hosted on a popular platform like medium, blogspot, wordpress, etc. hosted by the blog author on their own, could be hosted on GitHub pages and similar places. As long as the author is in full control of the pages, content, layout, etc. that's good enough.

My reason for asking this is twofold: I will get some good blogs to follow. I will get some inspiration to start my own blog. When I start my own blog, I would like to learn how to keep the pages simple and clean from others who have been blogging like this for sometime.

It is quite possible by simply using the "Network" tab of the browser's developer tools to save a local copy of the ZIP file that the in-browser emulator downloads. The legality of doing so is questionable to say the least.
It's interesting that you say the only data being collected is what you play and when.

Why do you think that? They have a lot of lose and movement data from you I bet theyve been spending a lot of time trying to develop inferences you can make from it.
Are there any good guides for setting up private networks? Google results are overwhelmed by setting up VPNs for private browsing.
Yes, there are subtleties here that are missed by the headline. Water ice on Mars is not new, particularly in the polar ice caps. What is new is that they have produced a map of (very) near surface water ice at lower latitudes (within a few centimetres of the surface). This isn't exactly a surprise, but it also hasn't really been shown before. It shows that the water is there and widely available.
Do you mean written 'academic' poetry?

Because poetry had a more day to day use than that. The rhythm and the rhyming is a mnemonic device. It makes it much easier to remember a text than when spoken in prose.

I can't imagine even our early ancestors not making use of that. In fact the earliest literature was passed from generation to generation as an oral tradition.
It will also have ripples. What about all the small truck stops and diners that will slowly have less and less customers. These long haul runs will be pretty easy to automate away with automated refueling stations. All metro or major warehouse areas will have depots where the automated trips start/end and people will handle the last 5% of more difficult local driving and delivery.
Are you saying automated scanners can't find your other pages? You can also put a submission URL with a captcha in the security.txt file.
I got that impression. At the first shop, the people I met didn't seem like they would be employable anywhere else.

The hiring manager also spent some time whining about the state of the developer market and said they couldn't afford the higher end of the range they had posted on their website.
You committing a lot of crimes these days, killer? I could care less about "misuse" for criminal reasons. The US military already has my prints and blood as part of MEPS intake and Tricare.

I'm more worried that DNA companies are going to use my DNA to raise my insurance rates, raise them for all of my family, or use them to predict models that fuck over other people.

I also expect them to NOT release any useful data and to hoard that as long as possible.
But was the goal to actually force people to spend money? Not just force it to be tracked electronically?
We put all our fill will into the geese, then send them south for the winter to let it all out. It's how we maintain our niceness.

That seems like copyright problem, which is really important.
Sure, after spending hundreds of dollars on a device, it only seems fair that the vendor exploit your personal information so that credit companies and anyone willing and able to buy the data can compile a dossier on you.

> I'm quite sad that accessibility is not mentioned at all...

Yes, there isn't a specific accessibility category mentioned, but they did include a lot of accessibility items indirectly. "Good contrast", "Automatic contrast of text if I pick a dark/light background", are mentioned in color, those are 100% accessibility. And some are mentioned in UX, "Support touch gestures and mouse", and "Keyboard shortcuts".
As mentioned elsewhere, F-Droid hosts a version of Maps.me that is ad- and tracker-free.

Good news! China has solved the problem by watching everyone, finally giving us what we all want - crushing levels of omnipresent surveillance, without any diversity-harming biased sampling. Because that's the worst part about surveillance - not how it's (often legally) abused by power, but how it's not fair for diversity.

I don't know that they actually are. Like most of the S&P500, Intel is actively participating in billion-dollar stock buyback programs. These allow for these companies with scrooge-mcduck-scale money bins to maintain vanity stock prices while their fundamentals are on fire.
Facebook does not sell data.
The self appointed technical lead, while management was announcing a new project, stood up and said "this project is a bad idea." It probably wasnt the time and the place, even if the technical person was correct. The entire company moved forward and left this person out. There were other better ways to handle dissent.
The point is the second order effects. You a may pay taxes, but the shops you spend your taxed income might be lieing on their taxes. Any electronic spending you made will not give the shops room to under report. In turn that shops electronic money forces the shops to force their employees to take taxed money, otherwise the shops could not claim the wages against the income.
It feels like an intelligence shakedown. Nginx has a rather large install base. FSB would love to have an entry point in it I'm sure, or maybe they previously had one and are trying to gain it back?
>This development happened after the war, when supposedly no "revolution" happens

I don't think that's fair, both atomic weapons and long range rockets to carry them only existed due to wartime research. WW2 definitely lead to very much accelerated developments in a whole range of areas of technology, but 4 or 5 years just wasn't enough to bring them all to full fruition.

Radar, rockets, jet engines, autonomous air vehicles, helicopters, guided munitions, nukes, computers, assault rifles were all first developed as effective systems during WW2, but for the most part only fully matured and became widely adopted afterwards. Even to this day we are largely fighting with weapons technologies originally developed during WW2. The US civil war and Franco-Prussian war looked nothing like WW1, which looked nothing like WW2, but Operation Desert Storm looked exactly like an updated version of WW2.

Having said all that a full-on existential 'total war' conflict between the USA and Russia would look like nothing we've ever seen. It would look like something military planners in 1945 were trying to achieve though.
I mean, really, isn't this kind of a moot point from a dedicated criminal's perspective? Does the government actually have any power? Sure, you'll catch the idiots operating over a compromised channel, but it doesn't matter what laws you pass wailing about "the children" and "criminals" if the criminals are rolling their own or even just using PGP.
> If the 404 is due to the client calling the wrong URL, rather than trying to access an entity/record that doesn’t exist, the client code will incorrectly assume the entity/record doesn’t exist when it actually does.

There's the root of your error: the entity is the URL; the URL is the entity. If the client requests a URL which does not exist … that URL does not exist.

If the client requested a URL which does not fit the expected schema … that URL does not exist.

Once you embrace RESTfulness & HATEOAS, life gets so much simpler. Also, every time you return errors in a 200, God kills a kitten. If for nothing else, think of the kittens!
I read through the article and the argreement between the twins is about what you'd expect. Twins don't truly have identical genomes, and these are estimates, so there is going to be some variance around the estimated value. A few SNP differences can explain this.
Mostly because they find it more profitable to maintain their exclusivity on the data itself and sell only ad placements.
A shameless plug for corememory.io, which includes a blog. I'm happy to make my GitHub repo public, if you want to take a closer look.
I've been recently following f3fundit.com, I used to read it back in 2009/10, but it disappeared around that time. One of the guys who was running it back then picked it back up and is reviving it. It's mostly startup focused business commentary. Longer-ish form articles. Pretty insightful. I've postem them to hacker news a few times. Would like to see more people reading indepentent blogs, vs the tech crunch's and norvig's.
You might want to consider proposing a sub-tag for military=danger_area specifically for mines. Eventually maps can choose to add rendering like a mine icon in addition to the danger area markings.

I would suggest adopting hazard=minefield (in addition to the other tags you use) for use on paths/roads/routable objects going over or skirting the minefields as well. The hazard-tag is a proposal, but has been used in the field a good number of times (coincidentally, a few times in Serbia).
Rambler claims exclusive rights violation on Nginx
I've some kind of reflex to say "come on, it can't be that bad over there", but then I read a thread like this and it's like a slap in my naivete's face.

>Mac is kind of not there in the developer community, unless you're talking about shops that deal primarily in the iOS space.

Not in the West. Go to any conference, Java, Rails, JS, Rust, etc, and the share of Mac is widely more than its average market share (like 40% vs 5-10% of the overall market).

And when it comes to presenters and "star devs" it's way too much Mac share...
Its very possible for one person in a meeting to be ahead of everyone else, and that they need to sit back and let the rest of the room organically catch up. Sometimes it feels like its your place to either "get everyone on the same page" or "move forward because we are stuck in a rut" but actually youre just being disruptive to everyone elses learning.

Nothing at all to do with feelings.
> Starve the beast.

Because that worked so well ...where?
Sure. They know I play Beat Saber and move pretty quickly while doing so. Maybe they'll try to sell me exercise stuff (though I rarely interact with Facebook and my browser setup is kind of aggressive when it comes to them).

They also know I'm shorter than Darth Vader. They know the size of a couple of our rooms.

I acknowledge there is data they can attempt to extract value from, but that data just doesn't concern me. As VR expands, particularly with Horizon, I will be a lot more wary.

Do we know the first thing about how brain waves correlate to any real world properties of a person?

Are you seriously saying draconian taxes are acceptable because you can decide not to pay them? This isn't how a democratic government is supposed to work. That's just pure anarchy and probably points to why Greece came into this situation in the first place. Citizens do not face the consequences of the government they elected and therefore they have no incentive to actually vote for politicians that want to solve the problem. Instead everyone is trying to break the rules in every way possible and then once a rare and naive guy gets into government and wants to suggest a real solution your little raft made out of discarded PVC pipes that you have carefully built over the course of your life isn't good enough anymore. Being forced to upgrade to a kayak is going to be painful but it will be worth it in the long run.

I am not sure what is the big deal here.

When WhatsApp improved its popularity by claiming "privacy is important, no ads" etc and then did a U turn it was actually noteworthy and newsworthy.

I don't think Oculus ever made such claims. They were happy to "sell out" [1]. If anything, they seem to be proud members of the Facebook cult [2].

If you bought the Oculus, you knew exactly what you were getting.

Also, a side note: I just suppose that everyone who supports Facebook at this point benefit from Facebook's profits in some way (e.g. FB employees, FB ecosystem consultants, close partners such as Microsoft etc) and automatically discount their opinions about Facebook.

What do you actually suggest we use instead of lists?

Which from my ancient memory of prolog, are just the equivalent of cons cells, so come naturally to prolog.

Edit: from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog_syntax_and_semantics#Da...

"Lists are defined inductively: The atom [] is a list. A compound term with functor . (dot) and arity 2, whose second argument is a list, is itself a list. There exists special syntax for denoting lists: .(A, B) is equivalent to [A|B]. For example, the list .(1, .(2, .(3, []))) can be written (edit: cut for clarity) as [1,2,3]."
These particular ones have no lights. But people are still more careful around them so still good idea I guess.

Do they need to own the apparatus? I search for a product on Google, I click on a search result, navigating to a retailer's site. That site knows not only what I'm looking at but what I was searching for. By way of third party cookies it knows who I am and it sends that info back to FB and the next time I'm on Instagram I'm getting ads from that category. The retailer I visited didn't have to own the FB ad network to play a role.
