Also have to factor in the opportunity cost of drinking...going for a drink after work instead of the gym? What comes next? Bar food with your beer and maybe a pizza?

I'd rather have the work out, good meal, hydrate, and get good sleep. It's obvious that good habits snowball into more good habits, while bad habits snowball into more bad habits.
It appears images and PDFs are the currently supported document types. If so, is there an opportunity to support web pages? We have quite a few verbose legal documents that consist of auto-geneated HTML that average 100 pages. A tool like this would be helpful in automatically dividing these into their respective section heading. It would also be beneficial to detect / remove extra info such as page numbers. Thanks for posting this!
do they have a roadmap for charging infrastructure? What if they sell millions and it takes 20min to charge knowing that most people will charge at similar times when going to work?
Electromagnetism is a U(1) gauge theory. If you take the accompanying classical geometry at face value, there's hidden state at each point in space, like some sort of dial. The absolute position of the dial is irrelevant, but the gauge potential tells you how the dial turns as you move from place to place. The electromagnetic field strength is something called curvature of the corresponding 'connection'. The mathematics are a bit involved, but morally speaking, I would say it tells you how the turning of the dial varies across space.
An "interpretation of a theory" is not an "explanatory story, it's a way to map the equations ("shut up and calculate") to reality.

It's not a contested notion that every theory needs an interpretation.
Dev says game started selling 400% better on Steam after releasing torrent
AI in the Announcer’s Booth
Yeah I'm not deploying this, pretty much ever.

I'll gladly eat the overhead of TCP to be able to avoid the reflection and spoofing issues of UDP.
This criticism of the dev team seems naïve, "It should not have taken 11 years to get to where we are today." Core developers can make tooling available, but they can't control adoption. That is a user decision. Users switch-over on a timetable governed by their own individual cost-benefit analysis.
Please tell me more, I'm genuinely curious. I've heard of other people that dislike it but never got an answer why.
Universities have dozens to hundreds applications per available seat, good jobs have more. So competition here is relatively moderate.
Government benefits in the US are not shit, at all. They are very generous if you qualify. The issue is qualifying, or lying to do so.
Out of Band. Registrars cannot intercept whois searches?
Interesting comment, but for those of use who don't do infra but are curious, what is the problem with NFS, and what do you use instead? My ears always prick up when someone says ... or implies ... to not use something in production!
The problem is balancing two parts of human nature. People like to be rewarded for their effort, some people get horribly depressed without this. The other is that people get their happiness from their wealth relative to those around them. It doesn't seem to matter how much wealth people have if inequality is high.

How do you build a system that rewards the hard working but limits inequality while allowing some not to work?

And how do you do this in such a way that self regulates. Those who choose to work will gain power and influence. If those start to resent those that don't work conditions will likely worsen for the non working.
Is this rendering Markdown to HTML on the fly in my web browser?

Just render the markdown to HTML once on the server and upload it for the love of God.

That being said, the article is entirely correct.
I don't think anyone was arguing that. We obviously have to cover distances that are not practical for walking, so public transportation goes hand in hand with a walkable city.

That is still a tremendous improvement over having to drive everywhere. The quality of life is so much better, it's almost indescribable.
For whatever accounting/asset/tax reason, corporations seem happy to spend vast sums on monthly costs such as AWS, yet loathe purchasing physical computers to do the same job.
Cause engineers are bad at math because you don’t really need to be good at math to write good code.
As I recall, Assembler was the first "no-code" tool. After all you could get rid of all those pesky programmers who knew all the number codes for instructions. Anyone could write "ADD R, R2". See!
Hm, then I suspect that soon enough those benefits will go the way of the LL Bean return policy.
uBlock Origin is the only blocker running right now. Is it evil and I should run naked? All the rest were disabled for "could not be verified and was disabled" after my last browser update.

Is this site heavy on ads and other malware and won't display without totally naked openness to exploits?
I'm surprised this was mentioned at all. There's even newer research that basically shows any amount of alcohol regularly is bad for you.
Or none of that happens, and it ends up looking like when Sweden assisted the US in extralegally black bagging some of their residents, and then blamed it all on someone who could no longer defend themselves with everyone else having plausible deniability.
And man there is a hell of a lot of fake news in there.
What male socialization?

Who are our teachers in the United States? Over three-quarters are women, less than a quarter men. And given that recent studies indicate that women teachers tend to rate boys (unfairly) lower than girls for the same performance, that's women's socialization teaching boys how to behave in schools.

Societally? Go on, search to see what doodles Google made for Father's Day.

Which parent seems to have the final say in the courts? Again, we seem to default to Mother Knows Best.

What about relationships? US society seems to have ceded the ground entirely to Venus. So very, very many "men are stupid" posts on Twitter and it does not seem to have an end in sight.

Men's clubs? Legislated away wherever possible, on the grounds that it granted men an unfair business advantage. Meanwhile, an organization set up for women in business and creating a co-working space for them had members complain that men are showing up, with a startling lack of self-awareness.

Perhaps this is female socialization not working for boys and men.
IP law has many problems, but one of the GOOD things it does it limit the risk of engaging in expensive research projects. If you find something, you get a monopoly on that discovery for X years.

If some country or company ignores your monopoly, then why should you make the discovery public? Why should you spend hard time and money researching something that you'll never see the profit from at all? That hurts everyone. IP law encourages research. And specifically, it encourages you making that research public in order to get a government monopoly on it.

Now, we could argue about nuances on how long such a monopoly should last, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find people willing to throw good money after bad in order to get someone else rich. Researchers would keep as much as possible as corporate secrets, and medical research would slow down significantly.
Maybe this was the whole point of the author's post.. but I'm fairly certain the reason the author's use case is not easily workable is because the OEMs mentioned are deliberately discouraging the ability to play anything that is not inside some sort of DRM control. They don't want you to just be able to play any URL. Its not a technical problem, its a content management problem.

Yeah, and they start in the $300+ range. The others are paid for unremovable bloatware, which lets them come in at a lower price point.

The Xiaomi Android One line does manage to price in the $150 range without bloatware, and I'm not sure how.

My Nokia Android One had only a support app (visibly) installed.

It was still slow and updates took longer than I wanted to arrive.

I bought the cheapest new iPhone I could get last black Friday (around $600) and for the first time since my Galaxy SII in 2011 I got a phone that I have actually enjoyed.

FTR, phones I have not enjoyed:

- Samsung SIII (two, one was terrible, probably a defect part, luckily it bricked itself so I got a replacement, the second wasn't terriblę just disappointing),

- Note (at least one, can't say for sure which),

- Sony Z3 (screen detached from body - this might be my fault for disconnecting the charger half asleep many times, but more importantly installed Amazon adware during Android upgrade),

- Samsungs S7 Edge (slow, microlag, generally disappointing)

- and finally Nokia 6.1 Android One (slow, updates took long time to arrive even if in was Android One certified, spyware concerns - I'm not sure if mine was affected.)
Everyone had huge anti-semitism at the time. The US had extremely common "No Jew" rules for clubs and such. We didn't end up gassing jews.

I was not referring to the Great Depression. I'm talking about the War Guilt clause of the Treaty of Versailles. It left Germany with a huge financial burden to other countries, and did nothing to actually address any of the issues that had caused WWI.

Yeah, the Jews were a convenient "other" to blame. The playbook is pretty straightforward - blame the status quo, the economic pressures (fair or not) that the poorest are facing (which only works if those feeling they're poor are sufficient in number), while doing nothing that would actually benefit them, and blame some 'other'. You've seen it repeat time and again.

The point I was making is that the status quo in Germany at that time -was- onerous. Being economically liable for the entire cost of a war, both the damages inflicted on both sides, AND the financial cost incurred in waging it for both sides, is going to be felt. And people are going to chafe; after all, the country probably had a reason for going to war in the first place, even if it was just public sentiment. And forcing such a treaty on Germany was the decision of the Allies.
I hate smart TVs with a burning passion. They accomplish literally the bare minimum to keep people happy and sometimes not even that.

Samsung’s Tizen OS is the most genuinely frustrating experience I’ve had with a consumer device outside of printing. Advertisements on my home screen that can’t be disabled, dubious privacy, bugs that require me to reboot my TV, and of course security so bad that they recommend installing a virus scanner? Yeah, that’s great. It’s got a web browser at least, though that’s the only positive thing I can really say about the web browsing experience.

Can it run software? If you can find it! There’s no app ecosystem here, just the big apps it absolutely had to have to be worthy of shipping. If you want to watch Twitch.TV streams for example you are SoL. There was an unofficial Twitch app, but it was removed from the store.

I tried to set up development for Tizen. Yeah not gonna try that again. I always thought getting started with development on Android or iOS was a little cumbersome but it really doesn’t compare. Even getting into developer mode was challenging since I had trouble finding the instructions that were pertinent to my model of TV, and that was the last thing I accomplished successfully.

So I’ve got a desktop computer hooked up to my smart TV and now I am contemplating paying more for a TV so I can get one that doesn’t have any of this dumb crap on it. The only downside? You can’t really run many 10 ft versions of things, and there’s not many good casting solutions. Lame, but every time I run into a new pathological case with the TV OS and its set of subpar apps I reconsider how much it’s even worth to have fancy 10ft interfaces and smart phone integration.

(If you are looking for a casting solution for an HTPC running Windows, I tried Reflector 3 briefly and it looks pretty good. But I personally do not run Windows on my own HTPC, so I’m stuck in the dark.)
Here's a fun trick Comcast is now playing with in Chicago. For unlimited data, it costs $50 a month if you're using your own modem, but using Comcast's modem, I get a "discounted" rate of $20 a month including the modem rental.

It's their way of charging me to use my own modem (which I believe is illegal), hidden behind the ruse of it being a discount to rent theirs.
I worked for a lab ran by a Chinese national at an Ivy when I was in graduate school. He would go on frequent trips to China touring major Chinese universities. He was something of a celebrity. He did not do this at US universities FWIW.

He had a pipeline and dedicated spots in our lab for Chinese graduate students who wanted to do a "postdoc" in the US. He was talking to one of his non-Chinese postdocs (with me present) who was considering taking a tenure-track faculty position at a university. He says, "You don't want to work there." She says, "Why do you say that?". He says, "The majority of students there are white. You won't get any quality students."

On another occasion, I was speaking with a S. Korean member of the lab who was well recognized at our university and in the field. He said to me, "When I first got here, I was bullied heavily. I was told: Koreans are stupid. Koreans are lazy. At least you're better than the white students."

This is all anecdote. But I personally saw that a lot of what we learned, discovered, developed, or otherwise worked on in our lab was taken on the road to share with Chinese Universities. I never once learned of something that was brought back to help us. I was told by a couple postdocs, actually, not to trust papers published by Chinese journals unless the same finding was corroborated by a non-mainland journal.

We did not share this kind of information very frequently or at that kind of volume with any other lab or university in the US. As a matter of fact, when I discovered a variation of a protocol that was much more effective and when I also had some preliminary findings on my own research and wanted to share this with another lab in the US that was doing similar work (to help them, and to learn from them - respectively). I was told I couldn't even tell them I was working on this because we didn't want them to beat us to publish.

Science is supposed to be about collaboration. It shouldn't know borders. But I have never seen such shady, unethical practice. When I raised concerns, I was told to keep my head down. I'm not in that field anymore... and it's always just a "Can you believe this happens..." story that I like to tell. But every time I see reports like this... I expect to read my old PI's name. Odd stuff.
Seems like a lot of deep-pocket tech cos are investing in building "future cities". What does it look like when tech companies start burring lines with government? What does "privacy" look like in this future?
No, I'm running with uBlock Origin and NoScript (but temp. allowing top-level domains). Works for me. Must be something else.
Not without an IDE. It's still extremely possible (in all text-based languages I'm familiar with) to write the program with a typecheck error; the typechecker will gleefully catch it for you. At typecheck time. Often (depending on my toolchain) minutes after I've written the offending code and mounds of code depending on it.

It's possible, with many languages, to write IDEs that will make this hard, but I've yet to find one that makes it impossible. Certainly not in the same way that, for example, Scratch will simply refuse to let the offending blocks click together. I certainly don't advocate transitioning from text languages to Scratch, but I think there's meat on the bones of asking the question "Why, when I'm editing code in text-based languages, am I even allowed to reference a variable that is demonstrably the wrong type? What benefit is that gaining me?" Because I think the answer in a lot of cases is "No real benefit; editing, typechecking, and compilation have just historically been disjoint concerns with no feedback channel because writing those is hard."
> People who are very well versed in UK law heard these arguments from Assange's excellent lawyers and decided otherwise.

Well, people who are well-versed in UK and international law have opined that Assange should not have been extradited the Sweden, that his request for political asylum was a worthy one, and that the UK was unjustified in demanding to place him in custody during his time at the embassy. So, I'll want to see the actual argument to change my mind.

> the Swedish prosecutor requested the interview whilst he was in Sweden ... and he responded by leaving the country

Ok, now you seem to be intentionally mis-reprenting the facts.

Assange had already been questioned about the case, denying the allegations. Later, Assange _asked_ to be interviewed by prosecutors before leaving Sweden. He was told (through his lawyer IIANM) that he could just leave, without having been interviewed.

> the Swedish prosecutor requested the interview whilst he was in Sweden in order to formally charge him and arrest him

You realize this does not even make sense, right?. There is no need for a second questioning (and probably not even a first) to be able to charge or arrest a person for suspicion of having committed a crime. If the charge or arrest is contingent on the suspect providing certain information, then - the prosecutor can't know in advance whether or not they will charge or arrest.

> The Swedish authorities closed the case and [publicly] reopened it after at the request of the lawyer acting for the women

I believe you mean the closing and re-opening while Assange was still in Sweden? Or are you talking about the events of 2019?

> the argument that Swedish prosecutors were desperate to pin things on Assange for foreign policy reason

I never made an argument about desperation. However, the Swedish authorities were certainly conflicted. The police officer who first looked at the case decided it didn't merit investigation; the courts at different times denied some prosecutorial elements what they were asking for, and they had to take alternate routes. Add that to the timing of the 2019 actions, the refusal to interview Assange in the UK and the excessive interest by high-ranking officials to pursue what should indeed have been thrown out given the available evidence - and you get a strong suspicion of external pressure. Add the UK authorities _known_ external pressure as far as the extradition request is concerned and the suspicions lead towards joint US-UK interests.
Ask HN: Are US cellular networks this poorly secured?
I've been thinking about xfitm3's recent comment[0] about work by Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek on remote exploitation of motor vehicles.[1]

They report:

> "It turns out that any Sprint device anywhere in the country can communicate with any other Sprint device anywhere in the country."

And no, they don't mean by placing calls. They used a femtocell (miniature cell tower) that had been exploited to allow console (command line) access. In particular, a Sprint Airave. Basically that gave them direct access to Sprint's WAN. So then, just as with Windows PCs in the early 00s:

> "To find vulnerable vehicles you just need to scan on port 6667 from a Sprint device on the IP addresses 21.0.0.0/8 and 25.0.0.0/8."

But this isn't limited to baseband radios of motor vehicles, right?

So using the same approach, adversaries could find open ports on Sprint smartphones and other devices with cellular connectivity. And perhaps exploit them, given that cellular baseband radios are reportedly not well secured. Also, the baseband is privileged over the GUI operating system. And given that baseband firmware is a closed-source blob, it's basically impossible to fully assess any of those risks.

Or am I being overly alarmist?

Has Sprint since reconfigured its cellular network to better isolate devices?

And are other US cellular networks as poorly secured?

Quite surprising for me too. Or rather, I don't understand the unit they mention. From the article linked:

also collected alcoholic beverage consumption, including red and white wine separately (4 ounces, increasing to 5 ounces in 2006), beer (one glass, can, or bottle), and liquor (one drink or shot). We multiplied the amount of alcohol in grams per specified portion size by servings per day, determined the midpoint of the frequency category, and summed across all beverages to estimate the average alcohol consumption (g/day). We defined moderate alcohol consumption as 5-15 g/day for women and 5-30 g/day for men

Surely it cannot be 4 bottles of beer daily (or 4*7 bottles on weekend).

Maybe in the state in which you live. I am currently on state (CA) disability.
> Both rust and go decided to go with Unicode support that is largely based around utf-8 with free transmutations to bytes and almost free conversions from bytes. This could have been Python 3 but that path was dismissed without a lot of evidence.

Both of those are newer languages that happen to take a stance from the day 1. So not quite comparable.

That said, UTF-8 is one of the best pragmatic solutions to this Unicode problem. Most engineers I meet who throw their hands up in the air complaining about Unicode haven't read the simple Wikipedia page for utf-8.

Python 2 was already half way there, they just to had to tweak a few places bytes are converted to strings. Of course this is easier for newer languages to solve. We can't blame Python for having to provide backward compatibility.

PS: I also blame all the "encoding detection" libraries which exist to try to solve an unsolvable problem. Nobody can detect an encoding, at least not reliably. If these half-assed libraries did not exist, people would have finally settled on UTF-8 and given up on others by now.
it's difficult, because friends have different time preferences and location preferences.

my solution is working out alone. It's fine, because it's also a good time to do deep thinking.
We plan to support HTML as an input (its in our backlog). If possible you can DM me one of your document and we can make sure it work.

This sucks! I have no idea how people let Apple get away with such hostile practices and policies towards small ISVs. Developers should be with pitchforks and boycotting the platform after all the crazy changes and requirements.
