Central Bank 'Parental Controls' Obsolete for Crypto: Bank of Lithuania
The Bank of Lithuania said that central banks’ “parental controls” are obsolete when it comes to crypto assets, but that should not prevent them from entering the space in order to understand it. Bank board member Marius Jurgilas said in an accompanying statement: “It is fascinating to follow how fast the area of digital assets and currencies is evolving. The preferred approach is to face the risks and gain hands-on experience in a controlled environment.”
No numbers, but you might have seen the SpaceX proposal / video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqE-ultsWt0
Having dealt with police throughout various stages of my life(never as a suspect,or offender),all I can say is that they lie,cheat and misinform people. I'm sure there are plenty of decent people out there but the force has plenty of those with broken moralle compasses.
Testing? like that time their internal tests showed iphones 6/6+ had substandard integrity bending 3-7 times more easily and they still released defective product while loudly denying any deficiency? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/a3a3gg/iphone-6-touch-dis...

What good is testing when you release defective product anyway?
What's the logic behind the current pricing model? Shouldn't you derive much greater LTV from a subscription model?

Also, isn't it too early to monetize? Don't you want to accrue users before introducing premium?

For a Show HN I would have expected the ability to create tasks out of the box.

Also, instead of discouraging users from sharing code, you should embrace it via curation -- let people see other's solutions after they've submitted a solution of sufficient grade, let people code review each other's solutions, lots of low hanging fruit there that could be as simple as some automation on top of a private Github organization.
None of the political and military requirements that burdened the Shuttle, which the article details at length, apply to SpaceX. These design constraints lead the Shuttle to be much bigger and heavier than necessary for the missions it actually ended up flying, and this increased weight and size meant it was too big to launch on the top of a first stage booster. Hence the side-mounted design.

In addition to subsequent technological advantages, Starship can get away with being much lighter for the same payload than the Shuttle.

Finally one factor that isn't often mentioned is that automated vertical landing capability is a real game changer. early plans for vertical landing systems would have required manual pilot control, as early computer systems weren't up to the task. The automated systems capable of hoverslam landings that SpaceX has developed are dramatically more efficient than manual control would be, and I strongly suspect it's this difference that really makes it viable.
Thanks for your reply tanseydavid!

Yeah, probably the not planned work escapes control and it probably produces most of technical debt.

It could be measured in some way by stablishing goals, perhaps?
Although some media seem to suggest that this could be the first step towards a more broad porting of Office to Linux, at least two factors would suggest otherwise.

First, Teams is based on Electron, so releasing for Linux is almost trivial. Second, it would seem that this is a move only to compete with Slack, which already has a client for Linux (electron based as well).

So while in short this should not get hopes high for those that are waiting for Office for Linux (myself included), once again it looks like a move of MS to copycat Slack.
Funny thing that you mention it here as one of the authors of security.txt found this exact issue on several sites: https://edoverflow.com/2018/logic-flaws-in-wot-services/ section "Attack Vector Two – Namespace attacks"
Skaffold's focus in on automating the build, push, apply part of the development cycle. Okteto's focus is on moving development to a Kubernetes cluster, abstracting away Kubernetes and the container from your inner developing loop. (I'm one of the creators of Okteto).

+1, 204 is underutilized for no-result cases.
I’m very interested in the area you’re working in so I checked out The Factual. Heads up that the “About OwlFactor” page gave me a 403.

From clicking around it seems like you’ve built a cool system for ingesting and scoring articles. I would say that you’re methodology and it’s bias against “highly opinionated” journalism seems to be committing the Argument to Moderation fallacy.
Oh please let there be pi on the menu.
Can you give some examples of people being (widely) labeled climate change deniers for 'questioning anything about the politics or economics' of climate change? In its standard use the phrase refers to people holding or spreading doubt about consensus or near-consensus conclusions of climate science.

It's arguably a necessary 'smear' because we've seen the same pattern play out as happened in the case of tobacco: there's a lot of money at stake, and people and organisations with a lot to lose and a lot to spend are not above spreading FUD, laundered through any scientists or 'public intellectuals' who either already hold a conveniently contrary view or are willing to be convinced by $. We'd be naive and foolish to let this happen without pointing out the pattern and calling into question the reputations of the contrarians.
That is a practice adopted by some, yes.
Ok, we've changed to that from https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-1972.... Thanks!
I am not a physicist, but one can definitely come up with thought experiments about testing the multiverse. One could imagine creating a universe in a lab "from nothing" since there's a hypothesis that the energy of a universe could be zero (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-energy_universe and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation_(cosmology)).

Now, we might not be 2000 years but perhaps 20,000 or 20 million years away from coming up with the technology and breakthroughs required to do this. In the grand scheme of things, even 2 billion years is not that much.

One big difference with Aristotle's apples, steam ideas, etc is that there's very solid mathematical foundation under string theory/multiverse that to a great extend agrees with existing well tested theories like quantum mechanics and general relativity. That does not make string theory/multiverse true but it at least leaves the possibility open. Aristotle's ideas that turned out definitely wrong were born out of pure philosophizing and were little better than pure fiction.
He is projecting his personal preferences on the human race. The idea that all the people in the world handle criticism exactly the same way is absurd. I have come across many people in my career who needed criticism to be broken to them gently. Others (evidently highly represented on Hacker News, but not from my experience in the general US population, maybe in some other cultures) prefer that it be direct.

Other comments in the thread were along the lines of "it's not good criticism if it's not delivered the way I like it" which is basically just saying that you enjoy shooting yourself in the foot.
4G was faster by DSL but the mobile companies sold it at insane prices, if 5G is a repeat of that it won't replace anything, unless the mobile companies start selling flat plans.

I think some people are more sensitive to these things than others. If you aren't then it's probably worth getting someone who is involved in the project.
I heard an interesting theory about intelligence while watching a documentary about jumping spiders.

Good eyesight tends to evolve first. In the case of jumping spiders, it was vital for safe landing. As a consequence, jumping spiders have the best eyesight among spiders. Anyway, initially brain gets a lot of extra information but is unable to take advantage of all of it. It's just for safe landing. Then those animals that find way to exploit the extra data become more effective.

Jumping spiders are devious, for example they can lure prey by mimicking gestures the insect uses.
If that's most of what's holding you back, you should try to power through that anxiety, I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised. Most people who bother to write in are very kind, and if you're this anxious about negative feedback, I'm guessing you're not the type to try the obnoxious stuff that pisses people off enough to write in with negative feedback. Making it very easy to cancel will help too.
I thought this was prevented by brake fluid being hygroscopic?

However n1 and other instance classes have different sku pricing for custom vs predefined pricing.

E.g. n1 predefined machine bills $0.031611 / vCPU hour. Whereas a custom sized n1 machine is $0.033174 / vCPU hour

Strange evolution: The weird future of life on Earth
True.

But also edge cases for which mass-market development would likely be infeasible.

The reality of market-capitalist R&D orientation is that if you want to support legitimate-need edge cases, at reasonable per-unit cost, a mass-market deployment is all but inevitable.

A reality I'm less than gruntled with.
I understand this isn't a perfect world and problems happen but we also shouldn't live in constant fear that a deployment will break production. There should be processes in place that prevent broken code from even getting to the point where it's merged into master.

The biggest extreme that I've faced was a team where there was a 36 hour window between Wednesday and Thursday where deployments to production were allowed and it was a nightmare getting any code out especially with most deployments involving 10-20 new commits so if something did break we had to rollback a lot and rack our heads to figure out what went wrong.
Yeah but what about oil companies ? You know, the people who care the most about humanity.

Burning kerosene also delivers water to high altitudes - the result is contrails.
The large wings are specifically to support a particular Air Force mission profile. They wanted to be able to do a polar launch (requiring a bigger rocket than equatorial launches to start with), grab a Soviet satellite, then land the vehicle after just one orbit.

After one polar orbit, the Vandenburg base would have moved east about a thousand miles, so the Shuttle would have to fly a thousand miles cross-range to get back to it's runway. Hence the big delta wings.

The Air Force never managed to get the Vandenburg facility commissioned, so the Shuttle never few any polar missions. If those requirements had been ditched, the Shuttle could have been small enough have been built on a vertical stack with a lot more flexibility in abort modes.
Fancy Charts with Victory
Spot on. I have to wait for the actual feedback and suggestions which to my managers credit are often useful and insightful and on point. But what precedes the feedback can be mind numbing.
There's basically no compression when an engine isn't running at least at hundreds of RPMs.

It's a non-issue for the gears. You can turn a 4-cylinder crank with your bare hands. There's very little load, you're just overcoming the static friction of bearings, piston rings, and compressing valve springs. At the static to creeping rate we're talking, the cylinder fluids leak right through the piston ring gaps.

If you want to worry about something with regard to statically loading everything, it's a lack of lubrication that should worry you.

The engine isn't maintaining oil pressure when stopped. So you're leaving the crank bearings loaded in one spot while oil slowly squeezes out. "Frictionless" oil film bearings are made of relatively soft metals, so this isn't exactly good for the engine.

Also the gearbox isn't dispersing oil as it does when driving. So the gears are slowly drying up while loaded. I'd be more concerned about the engine bearings though.

I never leave my manual vehicles loaded in gear when off. It's pointlessly hard on the bearings. Starting is already harsh enough in that brief moment before oil pressure builds. Why add insult to injury?

There are oil pressure accumulators on the market in part for maintaining oil pressure when off for friendlier starting of high compression race engines:

Thanks Chris! Do you mind if I bother you via email and ask you some questions about W3C stuff? Just trying to find the best way to navigate everything sean @ siobud.com

I have been able to start conversations, but would love your advice on how you see people really be successful with it.
I thought I set up the thought experiment in such a way to separate the question of whether machines can be conscious from the question whether you'd feel any different if multiple concurrent and non-communicating "yous" would exists, with the purpose of engage in a discussion about Wigner's friend scenario.

From your answer it seems you're also ruling out, a priori, the possibility that cloning a conscious being is not only impossible in reality, but absurd, regardless of any concession that would allow consciousness to still transcend matter (provided it allows for cloning).

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how you derive such strong conviction about the non-cloneability of conscious beings.
The Internet Archive is great, but it risks becoming a single failure point if we rely on it too much. Also it would be good to take some of the server load off of them. One possible solution is for smaller archives to exist. So if you're interested in archival, and you have some spare time and cash, consider not only donating to IA, but also setting up your own archive site with content on whatever category or topic that you found interesting enough to archive.
You would also need to factor in how many deaths per year are avoided because of cars. I'm thinking specifically of emergency vehicles (ambulances, police cars, etc) but I'm sure other the argument can be made for other vehicles as well.
EST is a new one to me, and yikes!
It’s not. Some of us disable Siri on our phones too.
If you think about it, it is clear that Amazon and Google put a lot more R&D into the microphones than the speakers in these things. Yet they insist on calling them smart speakers, not smart microphones.

It would be like if you took a device with a camera and called it a portal or something.

Actually there's no need for this comment, the mock-indignation on behalf of others.

A funny aside is always welcome in an otherwise substantial comment, and no, this is not considered racism or offending by 99% of Earth's population, including most Irish.

There are reports of crows in South America using traffic to crack hard nuts. They wait for cars to stop at a traffic light, leave the hard nuts out, wait for the green light — and then collect the results on the next red.

The same birds will fly up and drop nuts to crack them. What is notable is they will fly in diminishing lower arcs to drop the nuts. It’s a precise conservation of energy.

Remarkable stuff.
Local flavour is all about stereotypes. It's all about the common characteristics, seen time and again, in a locality and its inhabitants.

Thanks for checking out our site! We rebranded from OwlFactor and I forgot to update my HN profile! Doh. Fixed.

You're right that our methodology encourages moderation in news articles. But it doesn't penalize far right or far left outlets. Rather, if the style in which an article is written is inflammatory or opinionated then it is dinged. So it's not so much that viewpoints should be moderate but rather that the case for any viewpoint should be made without undue hyperbole and emotion.

The real test of our technology is if regular news readers like you and me like this selection bias. So I'd be grateful if you checked out the selections on www.thefactual.com/news and commented further.
Is this is a one person show? If so bravo! It looks like there's a mirror at google though, is this like a mini-google project?

I thought it was a Tesla that somehow completely failed to see a pedestrian and then to stop when it made contact, which would have terrible implications for the rest of the fleet.
I have a vivid memory of seeing this. Post-Hurricane Gustav in Louisiana, I was wading in nearly waist-high water toward my former car. I then see several of these fire ant rafts floating within about two feet of me, each several inches across. The thought of the fire ants crawling onto me in such large numbers, had I not noticed and waded into them, was terrifying.
See, although I can't really identify with your attitude, I can respect it because you seems to _really_ care about it and are thorough about it.

What I really cannot stand are the people that will complain about an Alexa being in the room, while at the same time posting three Instagram stories a day, having their phone assistant listening constantly, maybe played around with tik tok ... at that point, you really don't care about privacy, you're just cherry picking. I think a large part of it stems from the fact that a "always listening smart speaker" is something where even the most technologically inept can add two and two together and figure out how it could be "used against you" so to speak. That their phone could technically be doing the same thing, and that throwing massive amounts of personal data at Facebook willingly could lead to similar privacy concerns, doesn't even cross their minds.
Given the year of the vehicle, this is probably an after-market remote starting kit.
These are simple radio devices hard wired into the ignition, and can be purchased for $100 on Amazon. There's little to no software involved at all.
Similar as we devs like to use grep on text files there are uses that want to manipulate data in Excel, so they want your app to output into CSV or import from CSV if it can apply for your app.
Classic handbrakes use a braking wire and don't use the hydraulic breaking system (so it's somewhat redundant, actually). Also, the brake fluid is inside the system and can't prevent the brake cylinder or the brake pads from seizing.
Parrots get mentioned all the time in animal intelligence research. Normally the experiments take different forms: you keep one parrot in captivity and teach it to speak, while you observe the behaviour of groups of crows in the wild.
with C++, you often wonder why some things are done in such an ugly way (or haven't been cleaned up). The standard reply is frequently "backward compatibility". But if you investigate the backward compatibility, you find C++ is not really backward compatible with C at all. FWIW 'restrict' was introduced in C99, so after the big rift. But you can use '__restrict'
Nope, the anthropic principle does not imply that probability is 1. It's not even really a principle, just a post-factum observation. There may have been no one on Earth to write this stuff on a smartphone, ever. There might have even been no life in our Universe, ever. We shouldn't take these things for granted.
Back even I used to live in the Netherlands, it seemed even if you did go to prison, you'd basically be living in a hostel. They had cable TV (something many people at the time didn't have due to prices).

I'm imagining the average workload within GCP VM's to be 95 percent idle time. From oversized VM's, to machines sized for peak loads, to machines where the developer has just used a standard machine size for a 3 seconds per week cron job, to machines that are forgotten about and idle, to machines spun up as a hot spare, to machines part of build infra which are idle between builds and every weekend. There's a lot of idleness.

If machines really are idle 95 percent of the time, why is the price only discounted 30%?
>This article focuses mostly on problem solving, planning, and tool use as the primary hallmarks of intelligence. But what problem does writing a poem solve?

The problem of expressing yourself to a specific, deeper, degree than with mere talk? And/or (in olde times, when poems where meant to be accompanied by music/oration) creating something people can be entertained with and sing/dance too.

>Do you have to be intelligent to write a great poem?

Yes. Mind you, it doesn't mean it's technical intelligence, the kind that solves math problems etc. It's intelligence with words, wordplay, expression, feelings, ways of seeing, etc.
Stick of cheapest 1tb nvme is around 115 EUR (qlc) where I live, so even if you have to change it every 2 years it still worth it.

And i measured disk usage on my desktops (home, job) and laptop, and my main dev "server" (xen, with bunch of vms).

Surprisingly my desktop had most writes to disk, but even then it would take me 6 years on the cheapest (qlc, kingston 1tb) before wearing it out

So i don't think that is a big issue, especially with how much you can improve your life, with faster swap.
It's very difficult to tell which is the smartest animal - or whether an animal is intelligent or not - because intelligence is a broad concept and there are many kinds of intelligence.

If you're interested in this topic a good book is "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?", by Frans de Waal.
Yep, which makes it even more annoying when package manager-sourced apps still bug you about updating. For example Chromium on my arch install today popped up a dialog saying ‘there is an update but this Chromium install can’t update itself’. Yes thank you Google, that is intentional!
>My point stands: Would humans without poetry not be considered intelligent? Hardly.

They would be considered less intelligent than humans that have developed speech, and later poetry and other refined forms of expression.

The same way humans that painted their caves are considered more intelligent than the humanoids that proceeded them, that weren't as able to express themselves.

Why would you want to marshal a nil slice to json as non-null? That just hides the fact that you had a nil slice. In fact, that's the exact opposite problem; representing nulls as empty arrays.
