Actually, Dutch export most of their food and turn around and import cheaper food from far away (Spain and Brazil being two common sources).

> The project is built around a shared belief that smart home devices should be secure, reliable, and seamless to use. By building upon Internet Protocol (IP), the project aims to enable communication across smart home devices, mobile apps, and cloud services and to define a specific set of IP-based networking technologies for device certification.

Yet I don't see any mention of making those being able to work completely offline/standalone.

We rely too much on cloud services that ultimately get turned off after an undetermined about of time.

There is no way I am buying home automation equipment I cannot control myself, especially in a situation where the giants like Google could simply decide to terminate my account because I said or did something they didn't like and take down related systems with it.
For the second point, can you differentiate how much of the impact was from the diverse signals generated from the trade war and the impeachment process, and how much of the impact was from his tweets alone? The fact is that the news from the trade war and impeachment process create signals even without his tweets, his tweets only changes the timing of the signals (or not).
n-tiered architectures were born during the transition from "workgroup" to "client/server". This upheaval caused an industry-wide loss of programming lore.

It wouldn't have been too bad, except the ODBC interface inadvertently led to abandoning schema-aware programming models like VB's ADO, Paradox, FoxPro, etc.

At the same time, object oriented became fashionable.

So we ended up with ORMs, ActiveRecord, and various offshoots.

Mostly because no one remembers life before client/server.
Well someone did wrote all those automated banhammer scripts, right? I don't think DMCA requires automated ban system, Google invented it voluntarily.
I think Zigbee is in the uptick. Philips Hue works with it. Ikea is aggressively pushing products. There is (was? website recently went down, perhaps it has something to do with this announcement) DotDot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZigBee#Cluster_Library) based on Thread. Which is used by Nest/Google.
Has this become just a commodity war, or are there major sustainably exclusive technology/IP advantages that define the competition (e.g. processor, hypervisor, database, CDN, OS license)? It seems like third-party suppliers are chipping away at leads in each of these. Is UX or lock-in a significant differentiatior? What is it that defines this business?
Yes, part of it boils down to trust. Another part of it boils down to common sense. You could argue that common sense is: "Human behavior too insignificant to have any impact". Or you could argue that common sense is: "If you take too many shits in your environment, they'll come and bite you back sooner or later." I actually think the latter is more reasonable. It's quite tangible.

Do you even realize how exchangeable your last 4 paragraphs are? See:

What you and climate change deniers don't seem to understand is that a lot of people don't trust the institutions anymore. And rightfully so.

I suspect a lot of the rage is actually about this: people who can't stand the thought that the institutions they trust can't be trusted, so fighting any challenges to their world view [that they are actually responsible for pollution] with tooth and nails.

And people who feel betrayed by the institutions they used to trust [so they pick obscure papers, obscure individuals and claim that they are right and climate change is not a real thing, or at least not caused by humans].

> But it makes it harder to find the truth.

For sure, but as an individual, you don't need to find the absolute truth. There is a very simple idea in protecting the environment: If you try to be resourceful and protect your environment, it probably has more benefits than exploiting the environment and polluting it. It simply doesn't matter whether climate science is right or not. Reducing pollution is always something worth fighting for, no matter if it has any effects on the global climate.
No, they weren't.
My impression was that Kostka and Payne is fairly light going, with lots of examples of how the concepts are used in actual (classical) music. There is an accompanying workbook, and as far as learning went that was where the real action is.

This transfer was elsewhere in downtown Brooklyn, closer to Brooklyn Heights, but yeah that's another likely place.

Most such transfers would be billed as two fares if paying per ride, since only a few specific subway to subway transfers are officially free, but most people who routinely commute by subway have a monthly pass and don't need to care about that.

(The monthly price is wisely set just slightly above the fares one would incur in a typical routine commute over a month, meaning anyone who makes a small handful of personal subway rides each month on top of a routine commute is financially better off buying the monthly pass.)

Firefox is doing the correct thing here. Firefox cannot read /etc/hosts without breaking some applications since NSS is a series of black-box modules that Firefox can't assume work any particular way. There's nothing special about /etc/hosts on a modern Linux system.

The files module on your system could read /etc/dns or the blarg module could read /etc/hosts but in JSON format.

The thing you're annoyed about is that Firefox with DoH enabled doesn't use NSS at all when performing requests but there is absolutely no way that Firefox can do both -- it either can send requests through the NSS gauntlet and use whatever it returns or not use it at all -- "respecting /etc/nsswitch.conf" is impossible to do correctly.

Linux systems don't provide the right facilities to supplement application level DNS in the way you want. If you want to do DNS in your app you must ignore libc DNS.
This is true, but the issue I was concerned about is that memorizing datasets is not fun, so games should be designed so that dataset memorization provides no advantage, so that competitive players aren't forced to waste their life memorizing datasets.

Solving this issue also naturally solves the game variety issue.

As for variety, there is still the risk that chess engines might be able to produce a single long consensus main variation for each 960 position, and so that even if people can only memorize one variation, everyone could memorize and play the same line.
What Zigbee devices can you buy apart from Hue lamps? ZWave has been dominant for many years because there are hardly any Zigbee devices, be it in the US or in the EU. FWIW I'm in the Netherlands and have all ZWave, and when you look at e.g. the symcon.de forums, there are plenty of ZWave users in the EU (and Germany specifically).
I personally have seen more Z-Wave devices than Zigbee in the wild.
If your device supports opentherm (which is not as open as you might think, btw) you might want to look into OTGW [0]. It probably works with Nest to if the Nest allows to run without internet at all.

Believe me, they will it will never find adoption. How to say, they are free to make whatever standards, but they will not matter much if nobody will use them.

Their entire ecosystem together have less devices shipped than even some OEM nonames, not to say of Xiaomi or Huawei or Tuya who tower over them.

All kinds of "smart assistants" like Alexa end up in drawers very quickly after initial novelty passes, and it creeping up you in the middle of a conversation gets annoying. From data I have, sales of those smart speakers is already starting to taper off.

In Russia, there is an idiom "to divide the cake before it's baked." And those guys are doing exactly that: people don't even know what those "connected home" devices are and which ones sell well, yet they are already eager make up standards for them.

> It's standard industry practice for companies to claim ownership of everything a software engineer comes up with, even "on their own time"

No, it's standard industry practice to claim ownership of everything a software engineer comes up to that relates to the company's business. It's certainly not standard practice to claim ownership of, like, a young-adult fiction novel you write on weekends.

The unusual thing here is that Google's business and potential business is approximately everything to do with computers.

> Also unique to Google is there is a process by which you can get permission for you to out-and-out own the work done on your own time, as opposed to Google owning it and releasing it under an open source license. If you take that option then it really has to be done on your own time, and must not use any company resources, meaning not on a company laptop, or on a company network, etc. This is rare, and I'm not aware of many other companies that give employees that option.

I think this is perfectly normal. I've never worked somewhere where it isn't true. (Also, isn't this basically required for the common Silicon Valley practice of "working on your side hustle while employed at your FAANG, and then getting investors later" to not be fraught with IP dangers?)
P.S. I’m an idiot who can’t keep orders of magnitude straight. “10 million LoC” should be “100k LoC.”
The old vision (brain = neurons => memories, rest of the body = organs which execute single or multiple functions, synchronized by the brain) is slowly fading away.

We have a lot of active neurons in the digestive system, which is in fact a second brain.

Same can be said for the heart which contains an autonomous neuronal system to control the cardiac function independently if need be.

Notions of distributed systems apply : redundancy, parallelism, coordinated autonomous systems, synchronization.

So why wouldn't memory storage be distributed too ?

Why wouldn't some memories stored in organs be retained after transplantation ?

No idea how many data points you'd need in order to get a reasonably good model but the task at hand would be pretty daunting. After all you need to consider individual risk posed by employees all the way up to systemic and political. On the other hand if successful you'd hit a home run.
I think there’s a differentiation here between a local DNS cache (which does exist on some consumer operating systems) and a local recursive resolver.

The former lets the system reach out to an upstream resolver and caches the results. By contrast, a recursive resolver is responsible for starting at the root zone and recursing downward from there to resolve the requested domain (so when processing a query for “foo.example.org”, the recursive resolver queries “org”, then uses the NS records returned to query “org.example”, then uses the returned NS records to query “org.example.foo”)
Trivia: I had never seen this Apple logo used before, looks like the name of the company using a San Francisco font.

That's a pretty narrow view of the teachings to be gained from SICP.
There's a few aspects of successful communities that I've seen. First, there is a clear articulation of a problem/challenge that people can quickly identify with. Second, there is a urgency of action that draws people in, that if this problem is solved the world will be a better place. Third, there is an approach articulated that addresses the problem and has a reasonable chance of success. Fourth, there's room for engagement, and engagement has two parts: there must be enough structure so that a participant isn't overwhelmed and has a path they can follow; however, this path must afford quite a bit of creativity and freedom so that people can have a meaningful engagement on their own terms. Finally, and this might be obvious -- the community culture has to be fun and welcoming.

Should have picked a different platform >_<
You could deal with this by splitting requests based on the domain to be looked up on a deterministic basis, so that the same lookups always go to the same server. You'd ideally do that in such a way that related lookups (eg everything under google.com and all of Google's other related domains) also go to the same server.

There was an explicit "or", it wasn't just two clauses in a list. And "or" vs "xor" doesn't make any sense here, if it were "xor" then Google would own anything you did by actual default (i.e. that had neither anything to do with Google's business nor resulted from work done for Google), which makes no sense. It is explicitly an "or" and clearly means inclusive or, not exclusive or.
AWS is always bragging that they have twice as many Windows VMs than Azure.

All of AWS services treat C# .Net Core as a first class citizen.

- CodeBuild has prebuilt C# .Net Core images for building apps. For licensing reasons they don’t have prebuilt Windows/Framework containers but their instructions are so clear that I was able to build one before I knew anything about Docker

- Lambda has native support for .Net Core 2.x and the C# SDK for AWS has a template to build a custom runtime for C# 3.x

- Speaking of which, the AWS SDK and plug-in for C#/Visual Studio and the corresponding Nuget packages are excellent and fully featured.

- The CloudFormation Developer Kit supports C#

- There are CodeStar and ElasticBeanstalk getting started templates for .Net Framework and .Net Core

What are they missing?
> Will you add support for the newer 2FA options anytime soon?

We've added Yubikey support for the web client and for 1Password for iOS.

We don't comment on future plans because they could change, but we would like to at least see feature parity here in all of the clients, but I can't comment on when that may happen.

2FA doesn't add the same level of security to 1Password as it may with other services so we need to be mindful of bordering into security theater.

> Is there any roadmap on when the newer 1Password X becomes the default plugin for use in browsers? As a Linux user I believe my options to use 1Password are somewhat limited.

I believe that's the direction we're heading but as I mentioned we don't generally comment on specifics. We've done the whole comment publicly and say "yes, it's coming soon" enough times and then had to backtrack and say "sorry, no can do" that we just don't say anything specific anymore for fear of upsetting users.

We always tell people buy for what the product is now, not what it may be in the future. And outlining future plans gets people to buy based on what it may be in the future, and those simply aren't promises we can always keep. So we do the typical under promise, over deliver when it comes to talking about future plans.

Hopefully this doesn't come across as pushing your questions off, that's not at all what I'm intending but clearer answers just aren't something we can comment on at this time.

If you do have any questions moving over though feel free to get in touch via our support page and I'll do my best to get you answers.

The reconstructed Middle Chinese pronunciation for 日本 is /ȵiɪt̚ puən/. In some languages, such as Japanese, the ȵ became an n. In others, such as Mandarin, it denasalized to a fricative like ʐ̩ instead. The etymology for English "Japan" /dʒəˈpæn/ is apparently Portuguese "Japão" /ʒɐ.ˈpɐ̃w̃/ via Malay "Jepun" /d͡ʒəpon/, via Min Nan 日本 (Ji̍t-pún) /ʑit̚⁴⁻³² pun⁴¹/ which itself is probably a loan (using Min readings of the characters), since the Min languages split off the Chinese branch before 日本 came to be used for Japan.

There is a chance that such a storm could happen tomorrow. But the chance is a very slim one and since the Delta works the rivers have been a much bigger problem than the see.

The worst possible conditions for Zeeland/Zuid Holland would be springtide, storm, the initial sea level would be relatively unimportant. The problem is that the wind drives that water ahead of it and will cause the water to rise up because it can't flow away fast enough, in part because the channel is constricted to the South, in part because such storms typically come from the South West aiming directly at the weak spot in the shore defenses. Hence the Delta Works and the storm surge protection near Rotterdam (which is an absolutely amazing work of engineering by the way):

The scale of that thing might not be readily apparent but think of it as two Eiffel towers on their side that can move to close off the river.

Its a bit like law enforcement. Certain kind of police only care about arresting people, and will just summon any law necessary to justify the arrest. The question becomes on how we perceive the majority of cases, if the rule of law still function, and if the amount of energy to defends one own rights is justifiable in order to not leave the community and find a better place.

In the case of Wikipedia I usually find that significant contributions require some energy in order to convince others that it should be added to the project, but in the majority of cases the enforcement is done in good faith (like most of moderation here on HN).
“ You can make a lot of money working for FAANG, but you are going to be working hard and for long hours. It's not an easy job, and it's fairly pointless to have money if you work away all your best years. Programming is a service industry, and real money comes from owning things, not from doing things, because things you own make you money even when you're not doing anything. ”

Except the principal you earn from your FANG job can then be used to purchase income generating assets (equities that produce dividends, real estate, etc.)

It’s not uncommon to save $50-100k+ per year which can then be put to work making money for you. This is still one of the few industries where if you start working at 22, you can achieve financial independence by 35-40 years old with fairly high probability.

If you have any capacity for those things though, they're far easier to learn and practice with. It takes years to become good at building products, but I've gone from almost no knowledge to being good enough to manage a product's marketing/advertising in just a few months. But I disagree, I think having technical skills is the most important part to starting a business. You can test as many things as you want before committing, you can build a project you're committed to for "free" (no cost out of pocket, just your time) until it's ready, etc. I don't want to understate the value of the non-technical roles, but I don't think you can overstate the value of being able to own the entire tech stack yourself.
