Isn’t the core of the issue more that Huawei defrauded some US banks by promising not to use their money to do business with Iran, then went ahead and did it anyways, leading to the banks in question being fined by the US?

Your characterization seems a bit misleading.

I don't really know either, I'm just pedentipointing out that the security of one of these things is an actual number, measurable in bits and this fact makes Aumasson's argument possible to begin with.

The 'security' of any program even in relatively constrained cases is woolier. Is a C program that can't write to executable memory at all but can allow the interpretation and execution of some language it happens to interpret vulnerable to RCE, etc. So if there is a parallel of some sort, it seems to me it could only be a narrative one.

I prefer bright screens with the full light spectrum. They are easier to read with less eye strain. They don't cause me headaches and I sleep just fine regardless of how late I use them.
So do employees think Google would support politicians that are actively looking to break them up? Like it or not, Republicans support laws and tax rates that are good for Google's business.

As a counter point, I am put off by practical applications to mathematics and even avoid such physics based exercises in math books. I prefer pure mathematics. I find it interesting because of its abstract beauty and that motives me to want to learn more.
Very cool piece! Maybe I should try fairy chess at some point. Thank you! The explanation why it is possible to checkmate using 2 nightriders and the king is also immediately obvious, which makes them even more interesting.
This is very interesting. This might just replace the raspberry pi connected to my VT220, I could even use a Bluetooth serial transceiver and make the whole thing wireless.

Yep, thanks. Reading more about it, the "immutability" of the append log seems like a convention rather than something that is enforced programmatically (i.e. you can always write over the persisted fragments since they're objects in blob storage), which is what I was concerned about.
Doesn't work in mobile Safari
This advice is badly out of date. Crawlers no longer respect the fragment meta tag, so unless the pretender is actually served, this service does nothing
thanks for sharing! are you available to consult on fb/social media campaigns?
I'm a huge Tesla fan, but it looks like Rivian has made some very smart moves, and I hope it's a massive success.

Why do I say that? Because to save the climate we need to move off of fossil fuel vehicles as fast as possible, and that can happen only if there are lots of car companies all doing it at once.

Now the problem is so many big car companies don't have their ev programs very well developed, so it is great there is a pure ev company that is licensing its well-developed technology out to them so they can get up to speed years sooner.
1. They use external auditor - KPMG. "KPMG has been Huawei's independent auditor since 2000".

2. "and comply with GAAP" - they don't. Accounting in China is IFRS based, as far as I know.

Yes, but this was also 15-20 years ago. Plus most people live and work in cities. I'm sure that every western or industrialized country has these capabilities in their major cities now.
That's how all sensible machine learning systems are deployed, as assistive tools with a human in the loop so that they can improve with usage.

This stuff will be used to do initial screening to prioritize cases and provide an initial analysis for the radiologist to confirm. Once they're deployed it won't be too long before they're as good as the top practitioners.

It will be a long time before they completely replace radiologists in America but we'll probably see them on autopilot in third world countries where there's a shortage of doctors and data privacy laws are not as stringent. I've met a Chinese guy doing medicine in the states who claimed to have access to all medical data for a bunch of hospitals back in China.
All about My New Ring from Zeno Jewelry|Zeno Jewels
I bought the Three Stone Emerald Cut Engagement Ring of ZENO JEWELS on their website. It was the 3rd day I received it. I plan to record my feelings in the form of a diary. I have been wearing it for a whole day. It has 7.95CT and worn on the ring finger.The ring sparkled very much. I like it very much and looking forward to more discoveries.
It might just be an accommodation for people who know little about typography.

I couldn't have done it if I'd been able to adjust the overall length because I had no intuition about how close the characters should have been in the various fonts, I took my cue from the total width.

I’ve got a VPN server on a machine which gets a public IPv4 address via DHCP. Once in a while it changes. Instead of using something like DDNS, I just have a script running via chron to get my public address and send it to a GitHub gist.

If VPN stops working, I can always check to see if the address changed. May not be the best solution, but it works for me.

This is definitely not required but can be wildly helpful. This is largely true of any climb. The more people you know who are able to pull you up the faster you go. Easier to go from rich => ultra rich than poverty => ultra rich.

Realistically you can't control something you don't already have. To make up for it, you have to either put in the work or have a long lead time. Usually both becomes the requirement and don't forget to sprinkle in some luck.
Can you share which tool are you working on. Would love to evaluate it up.

P2P things just interests me.
There was a story on here a few weeks ago [1] where retired grand master Vladimir Kramnik advocated for getting rid of castling. He worked with the Alpha Zero team to investigate the ramifications. They re-trained the network from scratch on the rule change and Kramnik claims it’ll lead to way more interesting games at the top level. It remains to be seen whether this plays out in practice, given that humans are more risk-averse (particularly in sharp positions) than Alpha Zero.

Hey, droithomme. I'm the creator of Programmable-Air. Happy to tell you that the crowdfunding is fulfilled and extra kits are available for purchase.

The price is high, I agree. But that's mainly because the BOM cost is about 60$, the kit is large and expensive to ship, and it was fully assembled in New York. I'm looking forward for someone to make a cheap knockoff as much as you are!
This story has been run for a long time now. The best refutation I know of appeared in 2015 in an essay called The myth of the dark side of the Energiewende [1]. I'd recommend reading it for critical balance.

Despite the apparent similarity in English, and that they both now use the kanakana セイコー in their official names, it appears that this Seiko (正興, "revive justice") has nothing to do with the far larger Seiko (精工, "qualify craft") group of watches, Epson printers etc fame.

I'd experiment - set up a cheap camera in a window and then feed it into a small test wall construction made of cardboard or foam board....

From my views in simulation (using second life) you can get a good effect by putting the display in the back of a shadowbox with the (front) window "frame" being smaller than what is being displayed, so as you walk around you see more of the background revealed from the obscured edges thus making it appear like it's a wide open space, wide angle might also help the effect.

I mean, shouldn't we assume that our phones, TVs, laptops, bedrooms, and bathrooms are bugged and monitored by every major government? Isn't this what governments have always wanted? It's for our safety, I thought.
Just so you know... some of us are still fighting the loss of the headphone jack: I am now on my third first generation Google pixel phone, 90% for the headphone jack (which I use often with my Shure SE 425s... and actually used today while sharing with my daughter via a $4 3.5mm aux splitter while on a plane) and 10% because today's "regular" phones are all LARGER than 2016's "XL" phones.
I type very very fast, and yet I know I can speak faster. Not all typing is careful crafting, and even to the extent to which it is seeing it printed out and then erasing parts and replacing them is a very effective way to test things out and save state. Most of my typing is just conversing, where typing notably slower than I can speak, as opposed to merely a bit slower, would be crippling. (And even if I am in a situation where I am waiting on someone else, well, then I can type fast enough to talk to two or three people at once.)
Yes, Dex can more or less do this. I didn't realize my Samsung phone could do it for six months after I bought it, so maybe it's not well advertised. It does work, but I haven't tried to get actual work done with it.
Ask HN: Suggestions for a text-to-speech software/service?
It should work with inputs like web pages, plain text files and PDF files.
However if it's worth it, results-wise, I wouldn't mind manually doing a copy paste of the content.
Not having particular constraints on text length would be nice but not mandatory.

Practically I'd be using it on English text only.

The output format isn't particularly important, the preferred target is MP3.

Ideally, for privacy, I'd like the tool to be usable offline.
Nonetheless, since I'd be using it on publicly available content, this too isn't a particularly strong constraint.

I'm fine with paying.

Output quality is what is most important to me.

The F is a classic; I did time one one. Not sure how important lights are.

Remember that back then there were lot's of things where caps were meaningful. In early Fortran (and as I recall Algol and COBOL) reserved words were all-caps, so it wasn't weird to hit the caps lock and type for a while.

The goal isn't to get a magical promotion from IC to VP because some "elite" "gave you a chance." It doesn't work that way. Really you have two options if your goal is to run a large organization:

1) Climb the ladder. IC -> Manager -> Senior Manager -> Director -> VP (precise steps will vary by company). You only have to impress your boss and maybe their boss at each step along the path. You should have plenty of opportunities to do so.

2) Go work for a small company that gets bigger. There are a lot fewer steps to the top at a small company. And then, if it goes well, it will grow under you. The extreme example of this is to found your own company. You'll be the boss from day one. Of course then you'll have to convince other people to come work for you. Which isn't easy.

Neither of these paths have much of anything to do with country clubs or marinas.
Highly recommend the audio book, if you're into that.
In the case of Microsoft its a training and mentorship program. Building connections is a goal of the program. Here's probably the most public info you're going to get on it: https://www.bluepointleadership.com/client/microsoft/

Why would an American government database ever need access from outside the US? Under what circumstances couldn't a simple IP rule prevent such a silly transfer of data?

I could never wrap my head around government databases (that need to be secured) using using AWS or other cloud with default security.

Can we not have links to articles behind paywalls, even if there are websites that can extract the text. In a side note statistically the best thing you can do for your health is have one primary care physician for as long as possible and do many checkups. This will give the best increase to life expectancy.
That is what the US wants the core of the issue to be. The actual core of the issue isn't automatically set because the US has a preference. It seems completely reasonable that the Chinese would see a different core issue related to the US throwing their weight around.

This isn't a case that is being put through the Chinese court system. That suggests that the Chinese government doesn't see a problem with Huawei's actions. The US banks getting to have a legal say beyond that is a very questionable position given that they presumably knew who they were lending money to. The fact that under US law nothing is out of the ordinary is cool and all, but Meng Whanzhou isn't meant to be subject to US law. She's a Chinese businesswoman running a Chinese business from China.

Call me crazy, but she should be subject to Chinese law. And I can easily see why Chinese people might think that.
Seriously! I find backend work unintuitive and colorless. Others on my “full-stack” team have about as much love for the frontend as I do the backend.
It's a cool package for sure, perfect for one of the projects I have envisioned, but $175 is a bit steep for my use, sadly.
No, the misapplication of basic statistics is yours in concluding that one data point in a small sample size must be significant. The opposite is true.

Anecdote: one time I was visiting a friend in Singapore, they were busy when I arrived so I loitered around their apartment building's elevators for a bit, waiting for them to finish so they could push the intercom button to send me up. I tried the fire entrances, but they were all locked. Anyway, later that evening, some people from the government came to my friend's apartment and demanded to be let in. They demanded ID of everyone in there, including myself, as well as my address, and also checked my friend's lease. They even barged in on my friend's roommate who was showering.

To this day I've got no idea why it happened. Singapore may be very modern, but deep down the government is still very authoritarian. Funnily enough, I lived in mainland China for a couple years but never experienced anything like that there.
Cost-saving.

Governmental contracting is a lowest-bidder game, and budgets are variously limited.
As I recall, the Sun keyboards (and OS) had many other features and advantages that I miss.

While many keyboard of the time was limited to two "Meta-" keys (Control- and Shift-) the Sun keyboard had 5 meta-keys, so you can type A, Shift-A, Control-A, Alt-A, LeftMeta-A, RightMeta-A, or any combination, like Shift-Alt-RightMeta-A, etc.

I think one of the possible uses was to have a Delete key to delete a character, Alt-Delete to delete the last word, Control-Delete to delete to the beginning of the line, and if you added a Shift key- the delete works in the opposite direction - if you wanted this type of key binding.

Another of the ideas I thought great was having dedicated keys for Cut, Copy and Paste. You didn't have to remember Control-whatever - the name's right there. A second advantage - having a dedicated key didn't ever conflict with a program that already had bindings for Control-whatever.

Third, you could add Meta-keys to these, so that you can have variations in cut, copy and paste.

One action I used frequently was a quick insert - I saw characters in another screen that I wanted to paste into the current window. I pressed the copy key down - and held it down, and then moved the mouse to the second window and double or triple clicked to select a word or line. Then I released the copy key and the words were pasted into the the first window.

Also - you could move the cursor around - using the keyboard - while holding down the copy key down.

Crazy stuff, but flexible.
Pneuduino and Soft Robotics Toolkit are both compatible with a home air compressor, albeit running at a low pressure(<50PSI).
While I love this article for what it stands for, it's like school vs the real world.

It quantifies what we... or at least I, personally want in my CEO. Someone who cares, takes responsibility, leads, knows the product, intelligent, listens.

They exist for sure, but they far and few between.

Reality, it appears, the driving north star/metric of CEOs and aspiring ones is making money for the business. If you can consistently do that, you will move up and have the best shot. Any cost - legal edges blur-able.

Sadly, that's not what necessarily makes the best CEOs or even good for the business long term. I think we're seeing this play out with Boeing right now.

Philosophically I call myself agnostic. But colloquially I call myself an atheist. Also while I'm agnostic about there existing _any_ powerful being (god), I'm pretty dang confident that the gods described in religious texts do not exist. So in that sense, I am atheist (towards human religions). And it is in this last sense that I could see someone going from agnostic-to-atheist by reading the Bible or in other ways learning more about religion/psychology/history.
OTOH, UNIX tradition is the reductio ad eruditionem of every recurring expression.

This is not the perfect consonance with recent idolatry of UNIX keyboards that I imagine a number of proponents believe it to be.

Has there been a study of the ergonomic and productivity effects of various keyboard designs?

I type in the region of ten thousand words every day and I have no adverse physical symptoms, after almost three decades of continuing typing. Not continuous. I suppose continuous typing is inadvisable.

I hope you don't take my comment as derogatory, it's merely suspicious of the whole rigmarole that keyboards are involved in, and I have spent many more days in search of the ideal keyboard,myself. I have serious doubts about my chances of overcoming the importance of screen input devices, so far as my own use is concerned. Really, I can't believe it is impossible to produce a superb quality mechanical keyboard, even inside the tolerances of a laptop. Business margins are desperately short sighted in this regard. I will tell anyone unfortunate to be within earshot, how the first manufacturer of such a laptop will take my programmatic heart until I am thoroughly retired.
