"can't tie a knot? Tie a lot!"

I should learn more knots, but I so seldom need any. I look it up, generally get confused by the diagram, eventually work through it, and then forget it. I joined two pieces of rope last year and secured one tarp. I've tied up laces on my shoes a few times last year too.
I think what you're looking for is a constrictor-type knot. There are a few options here: https://www.animatedknots.com/?s=constrictor
It's legitimacy for the connection, not for the domain. Who trains people to trust every domain?
I suggest you go and talk to people outside your normal tech bubble. Recognising which parts of a URl mean what is tricky for most people.

Here's some examples I've collected of people clicking on links in suspicious texts:

That's a great attitude, and one I have adopted.
Do you happen to know what's different between the model in the Netherlands vs the US?

Is the insurance provided by employers? In the US, most plans are provided and heavily subsidized by the employer (because the tax code makes that palatable vs paying employees more).

Do you have co-pays or deductibles? If so, how large are they? In past decades in the US, good plans had fairly low costs to the consumer ($20 GP visit, $50 ER visit was common). These days, because costs have gone up, many plans have converted to high deductibles with dedicated savings plans ($5000/year per individual OOP, but the person is allowed to save into a tax-deferred account that's a lot like our 401k retirement system, just used for health care).
Too bad domain names are generally written in the 'wrong' order. These issues would have been preventable if domain names were written the following way: https://org.example.www/index.html

The domain referenced would have been: https://info.billing-update-jan02.uk.co.ee/ vs https://uk.co.ee/billing-update-jan-02
This will work well as long as it's a niche captcha and creating automated solver it's worth the effort. Hardcoding something in JavaScript what will be injected to all form submits is even simpler and doesn't require anything from your users. It will work as long as bots don't execute JS or someone is willing to spent some time on modifying the bot.
Does this proposal have any support?

At first it seems nice, but is it realistic to add so much new syntax to the language?
Per capita is the only metric that makes sense for carbon emissions since the effects are not going to be confined to artificial nation boundaries. So no, no need to multiply anything.
I run a bike and scooter sharing company in Europe. We see that plans like this are in the making in most big european cities. Regulation on air quality is a huge driver, as officials may be personally held responsible if nothing is done.

The example you mention in Barcelona is called the SuperBlock. The first one was Poblenou. Although it's true it was first met with fierce opposition, it is now a massive success, and local communities are not against it at all:

Here is a relevant quote for the guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/sep/10/barcelonas-ca...

When the first superblock was introduced in 2017 in Poblenou, in the north of the city, it was met with opposition by car owners and also those who claimed it would be ruinous to local business.

However, opposition has faded as residents have begun to enjoy the benefits of a traffic-free neighbourhood. There are also 30% more local businesses than previously and the area has seen a significant increase in the numbers of people making journeys on foot or cycling.
> (Implicit destination followed by mov is free, because of register renaming.)

There is no need for an implicit destination register, just do it explicitly and you get the same result but without any magic and with more control.
Register renaming can do the same job with an implicit or explicit register destination, there is no incidence on register dependencies.

> r31 = (rx<=ry)? ~0:0

Reading your first post I know that you want to use 0 and ~0 instead of the traditional 0 and 1 as the result of condition statements.
I don't think that's a particularly great idea because:
- there are so many places where you need 1 instead of ~0;
- translating 1 into ~0 only costs one "SUB" instruction.
If this feature is required for a specific domain, it's sufficient to add an extension with this feature or - more drastically - to add a macro-operation fusion step to detect this pattern.

> Decoding the RISC-V compare-and-branch instruction is a whole project.

RISC-V encoding is made to keep decoding as simple as possible. Have you ever checked the RISC-V encoding?
It looks a bit confusing at the beginning to a human but if you think about the implementation, it immediately becomes clear.

In RISC-V ISA, we can criticize: the absence of a standard SIMD extension (with a big abstract vector extension instead) or the fact that some extensions require 3 read ports on the register bank instead of 2, which can make the implementation more complex.
But it's trade-offs
Sounds like a true believer in the free market; 'if everyone is as greedy as they can be, the market will self-balance into ethical system'.
My big prediction is in physics:

Thanks to Einstein we live in a 4D reality, 3 spatial dimensions and the dimension of time.

In the next 10 years I predict our understanding of physics will evolve (with a confirmation through observation) from us being 3D beings living in a 4D reality to...something more.

If I could personally lead the charge on any changes in the next 10 years...I would eradicate all new cases of childhood type 2 diabetes. Sadly this has been achievable and avoidable since the first case of childhood type 2 diabetes was diagnosed in 1983. Unfortunately, I don't expect or predict there will be any gains, only more and more children diagnosed with this terrible disease (my prediction: many as 25-50% of children) by the end of the next decade.
> For a more direct comparison.... The answer, that requires you to turn away people seeking clean water, is that if you dont raise prices the water will likely run out because people who didnt really need it were buying it just because.

I mean the guy literally says why they're doing it (there's available needy-people margin to cash in on), and it's not to ensure they don't run out of a limited supply. But keep carrying that water for them for free if you want, I guess.

> why are we using these devices designed to be immediately thrown away?

I mean, the answer is pretty easy: people have a strong preference for options that help reduce their cognitive load.

People prefer restaurants that provide take out containers rather than require they bring Tupperware.

People prefer grocery stores that provide bags rather than require they bring their own.

This isn't true of everyone - conscientiousness is normally distributed - but it is true for most people most of the time.
As if the deception about the online distribution weren’t cruel enough, apparently the operators went out of their way to send the videos directly to the participants’ families and social networks, in a sadistic attempt to drum up viral interest. They’re even suspected of setting up their own version of Wikileaks to specifically dox the women:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/amateur-porn-company-girls-do-...

> In trial, the women argued Pratt and GirlsDoPorn deliberately leaked their identities and personal information by sending the footage to their friends and families, much like a direct-marketing promotion, to ensure the footage “went viral” in the actresses’ hometowns. The judge found that, at best, Pratt and his colleagues both knew that harassment was “inevitable,” directly profited from it, and hid it from the models they hired.

> “At worst,” Enright wrote, “Defendants encouraged and facilitated this outing process and even participated directly.” The judge went on to point out that the models’ names came out in a manner that “strongly suggests” that Pratt was involved. For one, internet history records showed that on multiple occasions, several models were “outed” at once—revealing their names, pictures, email addresses, social media, and other personal information in one dump. For another, after Pratt purchased the domain for one of the most prominent forums, Porn WikiLeaks, he didn’t remove the doxxing pages for seven months. The forum only came down eight days after the class action lawsuit was filed.
Yes it is and it's a human right. The trans-Atlantic slaves certainly wanted it. It's super simple. Support free speech OR you are a literal Nazi.
It's not targeting the general purpose OS market it's purpose built for specific kinds of customer use cases. Once you get past that it makes a lot of sense. Well not as in "it makes a lot of sense for you personally to go out and by" but it makes a lot of sense why it exists and sells so much.
> Money and technical expertise used to be strong barriers to prevent people from registering scam domains.

Cannot confirm. I registered my .de-Domain in 2005. That was 15 years ago. It wasn't that difficult, and quite cheap (imho 12€ for a year). So the tech barriers vanished a long time ago.

Fun!

1) European countries become increasingly poor and economically irrelevant relative to the United States and Asia. EU breaks up.

2) Climate change is surpassed by ground water depletion as the most important problem, ecologically. Not that the former gets any better...

3) No world wars, but many violent internal movements.

4) Most governments triple down on surveillance. Nothing useful comes of it but practical consequences turn out to be pretty rare.

5) Disney starts making high budget live or Lion King style CGI adaptations of anime

6) Social mobility grinds to a halt and more and more people are employed in increasingly personal attentive service jobs

7) Liberal coastal states push for a modified governing system which allocates more power to states that generate wealth
The exciting part of this is the gradient. The addition of 1keV in 30um is huge!

For reference, in a typical electron microscope, accelerating fields might reach a 1 MeV/m gradient. In these cases, it's usually an anode (-200kV) and cathode (0V) closely separated. High vacuum is required, it's large, power supplies are enormous, etc.

Scaling the results of this paper, especially after a working prototype, will be more interesting to the general population. But the key discoveries are already here. Scaling becomes an engineering concern.
To your point on 7: Fully autonomous Electric cars.

I predict we will have electric cars widely available by 2030, IFF car manufacturers stop trying to make them autonomous at the same time. Consider the Chevy Volt [1]: it's just an electric car. It does not include any autonomous capabilities. Furthermore, electric charging stations will be more common. Existing gas stations will have charging stations added, or they are abandoned all together and new charging stations (maybe "refuel" stations) will be built.

The world surely needs electric vehicles sooner rather than later. This will help climate change due to reduced emissions from vehicles.

However, I don't think the autonomous part will be figured out by 2030. I predict progress will slow. More government oversight will be applied due to the 737 MAX issue [2] and self-driving cars killing people [3][4]. Due to these issues, general distrust in computer-driven-machines (airplanes, cars) will increase. People will go back to non-connected / offline / "dumb" devices, including and especially their vehicles.

I agree with the age metrics of the article, but not so much the suggested reasoning. I think obtaining and managing a sufficient capital becomes far easier as you get older, as the experience managing money and investing wisely is usually already there.
This seems so much more clear to read, with less typing.
The way the slices render in the image examples reminded me of TerraGen and setting my computer to render a simple animation overnight while I slept, and hoping it didn't crash.
Pricing doesn’t fix the scarcity problem in a shortage or short term emergency. Rationing is the best way to address it.
To be honest...I think this is a secondary concern. Your primary concern should be assigning the values correctly.

For example: If i select work from home, it returns Intuit, if I click apply, it takes me to their ATS...This is good, but it seems they are not offering work from home, so this result is false.

The reason why Key Values is enjoying some success is due to marketing. Right niche, good promotion, good design, good sales. (but even then, not that many companies have signed up. why not? They are probably aware of it.)

This format might work if you go after a different segment of the software industry (maybe?).
I am currently doing something similiar in a unrelated industry, it helps if you can talk the lingo, know some people etc.

P.s Unlesss the companies have already paid to be listed? Then, well done.
Anecdotally glass screen protectors seem to have grown a lot more popular. When you buy your phone at a store chances are they will tell you it's a must-have addon (and they are not entirely wrong).

Screens also get more shatter resistant all the time, but at the same time the industry seems to constantly find new phone geometries that look very prone to fall damage, so that probably balances out.
Moving on this info is competing with the big players.

It was possible to gain by trading on this info when it was news. For the big players, that was 18 months ago, so by now the opportunity to meaningfully trade on this info is exhausted.

For any new information, you can trade on it if you get it at the same time (or before) as the big players, and you can't if you lose in the competition of timely analysis.

I don’t think you implied otherwise, but people say some crazy things on this site, so I wanted to be perfectly clear.
> if you dont raise prices the water will likely run out because people who didnt really need it were buying it just because.

I think one of the true challenges in front of us is figuring out a way one can signal how much they truly need something in a trustworthy, reliable way, without having to burn their own resources. Because that's what your answer is - prioritizing the need by checking who can afford to burn the most money. It's not paying for water, it's paying for a place on an ordinal scale.

And it's great if that works. If it doesn't, you have no recourse, even if the device is only just over 2 years old (or whatever your country's mandated warranty period is).

As happened for my HP laptop whose firmware put the GPU in some high performance state, expecting the Windows driver to clock down as appropriate.

Sadly, Windows upgrades (7->8, 8->10, all the 6month updates to 10 except for the October 2019 one) are "full installs" that run in what is essentially Windows' "safe boot" mode with stock drivers, so there was no clock down.

The result was that I could only update the laptop outdoors in winter when it was freezing, otherwise the laptop powered off mid-upgrade because it ran too hot (which then leads to the upgrade being rolled back, repeat ad nauseum).

Compared to that, the 5-8 years of Chrome OS support cover a really long time (the upgrade path and new OS version are actually tested on the very model I'm running), but it's a trade-off: If you're lucky about the configuration and what newer Windows versions expect, a Windows laptop can be usable for 15 years, but there's definitely luck involved (even though I guess Microsoft is also doing some rather arcane testing on their own, but things slip through and they certainly don't provide any guarantees for what's essentially third-party hardware).
I don't know enough to speak intelligently about this, but my gut says that people predicting a recession simply because we are 'do' is short-sighted.

I wonder if High-Frequency/Algol trading has anything to do with our current bull run. Maybe removing some of the human response from the equation has stabilized the market to some extent.

That being said, I'd be VERY surprised if a recession does not occur within the next few years.

The funny thing is that each generation of Gorilla Glass is much stronger than the previous one. And what do phone manufacturers do? They make the glass thinner since it's now stronger. The end result is that the phone is as easy to crack as with the previous generation glass.

I almost feel like there are 2 parallel industries in web development. One based on solving problems and using the right tool for the job, and one based on bullshit, overengineering and including more and more complexity & tooling to make up for huge downsides in the language and to justify their entire careers (can you really advocate against using a tool when your entire career depends on using that tool?)

The former will keep going and keep solving problems, but it'll be relatively quiet in the grand scheme of things just like it is now. The JS ecosystem will continue to thrive in the latter world where there's more VC money, hype & RAM than common sense, so we'll keep hearing about it. As long as there's enough VC money to fuel the fire this situation will keep going (along with NPM's storage expenses growing alarmingly) but the second the VC money dries up and hype-driven startups die off, companies will mostly come back to the first approach and the majority of "React developers" will be out of a job.
How do you contend that overweight people are going to gain weight by not having leftovers?

The article did not suggest that the restaurant forces people to eat everything on their plates. They just compost whatever food is left behind and don't throw it away.
> If you can't get an audience, that means no one cares about your content.

If someone has 5000 followers on Twitter, is then banned, and then sets up his own platform, do you actually believe one can logically conclude that those people not finding him on the new platform is because they all simultaneously became uninterested in his content?

It fascinates me how certain topics seem to be able to disable the logical capabilities of even HN folks. Perhaps I should add this notion to the 2020 Predictions thread, I can't imagine others aren't going to start noticing this phenomenon eventually.

I would love to know if you are able to realize that this is a distinctly different situation.

Its seems all languages are just copying each other at this point. I know C++ hates to be left out of anything so maybe this is appropriate, but to me its really destroying the ecosystem.

It was great to have different languages having different paradigms but now you can do everything in everything and code bases I'm working on are a confusing mess.

This repo helped me when I was implementing my own 2.5D voxel engine. I definitely recommend tearing through it for anyone interested.
I was thinking that exact same thing. Rails was hitting its peak in 2010, and the idea that programmer time is more valuable than CPU time suggested dynamic languages were the future.

I mean, that’s not entirely wrong — Besides JS, Python is arguably the most dominant language across all domains. Python is also faster than Ruby, though, and 3.x added static-like features to the language. It doesn’t seem like there’s much appetite for languages any slower than what we have now.
I think you mean $20m/year.
I believe there will be L3 available in the next decade. A consumer-owned car which can take over driver-responsibility in limited settings. What Teslas autopilot promises although it currently is L2.

The interesting question is which company is bold enough to do it first and if it will survive the law suits afterwards. Tesla is the most likely.

L4/5 will realize in limited scenarios (senior communities, hub-to-hub trucks) but not as taxis in dense cities. In other words Waymo will still use safety drivers in ten years or close down.
