> Norway has a trillion dollar sovereign investment fund and they seem to be profitable and uncontroversial?

You're comparing apples to oranges. One is a sovereign wealth fund managed by citizens, for citizens. The other is a wealth fund managed by royalty, for royalty, with the main goal being to keep said royalty in power.

> The idea behind the staging area is that you obviously need this all the time, because reasons, so let's force you to go through the hassle for every commit you might want to make.

I do need it all the time, and simulating it with commits would be horribly unsuited to getting work done. (The funny thing is that what you mentioned – `git commit -a` – doesn’t accomplish that, but it does skip the hassle you just said was forced.) It’s also a clean place to handle conflict resolution state, because that shouldn’t go in commits.

Jisei: The Japanese Death Poem (2013)
A b-tree grows and shrinks gracefully because each update modifies O(log n) pages. And the base of the logarithm is pretty big.

A typical hash table is not graceful in this way, because while each insert is O(1), you occasionally need to rehash everything into a bigger table, and that is O(n). As I noted above, linear and extensible hashing avoid this problem. An insert that forces a reorg just reorgs one bucket.
The monitor, yes, but also the case, the keyboard and mouse, the OS, and the luxury of you not having to build and image the machine. Depending on how you value your time that could be a huge savings.
I'm no expert, but from what I imply from general coverage I've seen is that a lot of the cashflow is spoken for in operating Saudi gov't, public basic-income like payments, and family / ruling class payments. Again my guess, but making the case you need to cleanup the company finances for external investors and public accounting purposes may have been easier than trying to separate it out outright internally - either for the purpose of better long term diversification or, maybe, for the more cynical interpretation of gaining more family control of the asset of Aramco.

Norway was pretty unique in that early on they decided to route most of the cashflow into their fund. They're an (the only?) exception to what has been called the resource curse. Oil riches usually don't work out as well as in Norway.

Show HN: A bookmarklet to remove clickgates on New York Times, Medium, etc.
Recently i stumbled on too many clickgates on the Medium blog Towards Data science. Considering that most people publish to share knowledge on Medium and are driven into putting their content behind a paywall, without actually getting paid for it, including myself. I felt like Medium is running the academic publishing scheme. Get free content and get paid for it. So I decided to create a small script to bypass the paywall on Medium, it turns out it also works on other newssites. Heres the website: https://sugoidesune.github.io/readium/

You have the qualifier of "probably" - but money may not be the only thing holding someone back.

For instance, I want a 220 outlet in my garage so I can have a proper welder out there. I don't have an electric car (and even if someday I do own one, it won't fit in my current garage, due to various reasons - chief one being it's a conversion from a carport).

That all said - I am not sure I can get such an outlet. Money isn't the issue - but it could become the issue.

Because I would need an additional 220 circuit added to my existing circuits in my breaker box. But the panel is full. So I would probably need to either get a larger panel, or add on an auxiliary panel (likely the latter). But that also depends on my service from the main transformer.

I might not be able to get an extra circuit if my service isn't large enough to support such an extra circuit. The only way to change that would be to have a larger capacity transformer installed. That transformer is shared between my house and the neighbor's house. I don't even want to contemplate what it would cost to change that out (thinking somewhere in the 5 figure range - but where?).

So money isn't an issue - until you have an electrician come out and tell you that to run an additional line is going to require major changes to your current electrical service.
Facebook isn't the best example of anything really. There's plenty of services that encrypt messages end-to-end without the ability to "unlock" the message by the service itself. What I don't understand is the argument or case being made that giving anyone the ability to break encryption is a good thing. Smells to me more like ulterior motive to just get the backdoors put in. This isn't actually going to protect anyone any better. Governments have already long had tools to subvert things in various ways regardless of the need to actually break encryption. Why are we arguing for a larger surveillance state?

A time span of 60-100 years make for bad extrapolations period - let alone in complex matters with feedback responsive systems. Not to mention most papers are supposed to be narrow in focus as opposed to the big picture. Even if a theory in itself is right it may not pan out entirely.

It is a fact that CMOS uses twice the transistors per logic gate. It is proper to say that it would fit less processing power in an area than other doping options. However when power dissipation is the defacto limit then even higher power hardware will use CMOS.
It took me a while to recognize that wooden chair. At first I tought it was a wooden hammer on top of some squared background, but then I realized it was a chair seen from above.

It seems to me that double ratchet is really to blame here. Without it, you could simply share a single key across all devices. With it, your choice is to either deal with this sort of complexity or to set up a trusted proxy in the middle.

It's a bit strange actually. There's this constant mantra of having to pick either security or usability. We now have readily available means for usable _and_ reasonably secure E2E, but the crypto nuts go and add additional "must haves" that once again make it difficult for the average person to use.

An aside: Instead of authenticating with a central server to add a key (as you've described Wire doing), why not handle this client side via X.509 certificate chains? This is very mature crypto and seems far more flexible. It would enable use of standard PKI token hardware for managing your root identity, allow fully offline enrollment of new devices, and provide cross signing for various purposes (changing your root identity, setting up a web of trust with a group, integrating with a corporate environment, etc).
They are pushing macOS Catalina pretty hard, but this pop-up is just pushing you to the Software Update control panel.

There, you'll find that while the most prominent option is to upgrade to Catalina, there's a teeny tiny link to install other updates, which is where you can (and should) get critical updates for macOS Mojave.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210788

Today's Dec 10 update addresses a kernel vulnerability, CVE-2019-8847. All users should get this update, but click carefully to make sure you don't accidentally try to upgrade to Catalina.
Why would a child sign up for an E2E app where it’s easier for paedophiles to anonymously groom them? Sophisticated organised criminals don’t use Facebook Messenger, but this article isn’t about them.

This turns off MacOS upgrade notifications, instead of turning off all notifications.
Dodgy Middle East money and Western intelligence people wanting to take it goes further than just cyber security. There are often times when Middle Eastern money competes to flow into and lock up various prestigious private (mostly human) intelligence companies. Ditto with close protection.

C definitely doesn't require bytes to have 8 bits - it only requires them to have at least 8 bits. And there are architectures on which C char has as many bits as int (SHARC).

The question, though, was about whether it's the minimum addressable unit of memory. In the C memory model, it is, but by implication - you can't have two pointers that compare non-equal, but differ by less than 1, so a type with sizeof==1 is by definition the smallest you can uniquely address. However, the C memory model doesn't have to reflect the underlying hardware architecture.

Unions require a moral justification for the legal protections they enjoy because they are a cartel of employees who use the threat of financial harm to prevent employers and individual workers from freely entering into mutually beneficial work arrangements. Generally speaking, some special justification is required to curtail the freedom of an individual or group in order to benefit some other individual or group. In the case of unions, that justification is that some employers held so much power in their relationship with employees that they were able to make the employees suffer to an extent that we find unacceptable. The justification was not merely that there was an extra 10% of salary that could be extracted from the company.

> But it's a risk you're taking buying a product from a fledgling internet-based startup.

This is my problem. It is not reasonable to expect a purchase of a product online to be a gamble, a risk that you will get nothing in exchange for your money. No matter whether they're internet based, no matter how old they are, if a company offers a product for sale, it should not be "risky" to purchase it.

The comment I replied to said we shouldn't burden the courts with taking the people behind such companies to task. But if we don't, there's nothing stopping them from doing it again and again.

Classical economics is something different -- think Smith and Ricardo. Marginalism is sometimes called neoclassical, but is distinct from classical economics. The neoclassical synthesis was macroeconomics from the 1940s until the stagflation era. Micro-founded macro was later. I don't think neoclassical has a very clear meaning -- I would call any kind of Keynesianism non-neoclassical, personally.

Anecdotally, it's because so many people are bullshitting when they claim that something is a foundational hypothesis of the mainstream. People prefer to argue against a caricature rather than the real thing.
I don't think this is an insane question. My take:

#1 -- gated communities are way bigger than a bungalow court and are much easier to isolate from the community around them. I think this correlation is a misapprehension. Here's a highly renovated example: https://seattle.curbed.com/2018/4/4/17200290/pine-street-cot...

See how it faces the street like any other house, but there's a little private shared area in back? It's not self-contained like a gated community can be.

#2 -- yep, there's the potential for abusive relationships. There is no rental model that works without strong protections for tenants and, yes, landlords. So that problem isn't inherent to rooming houses. However, the power relationship is usually tilted towards the party with more money and that's likely to be accentuated in this type of housing. You gotta be careful.
No. Maybe it was just a select-paste glitch. Fixed now!
Highly recommend YC startup school. Latchel went through startup school during the infancy of our product. The accountability and direction put us on track to predictably drive sales every week.

Even if you don't intend to apply to YC, you'll be able to apply startup school's concepts to help grow your business.
