Marketing this kind of product directly to consumers is a fool's game. Consumers will always ask inconvenient questions like these when they're forking over their own money.

Pretty soon Ring will shift to working primarily with security and insurance companies who will bundle this into their own service offerings. The end customer will never even know what gets recorded, where it's stored or who has access.

That depended _very_ heavily on your graphics card at the time. In 2001, I could get X to crash on my work computer if I shook my mouse too fast. At home on my matrox card, yes, it was rock stable.
Empty homes is not a problem.
Thanks for your comment. The answer is that I am still hoping to trim the tree like other engines. The simplicity of my engine lies solely in the evaluation function. What I hope to save in CPU cycles on the evaluation might enable me to go deeper on the tree. That's the idea at least.
I've had this same scenario happen before, and since then I just issue a `whois` from the command line to bypass any potential frontend interception. Not sure if that is 100% full proof either though.
Agreed. I've concluded the reason there's so much disagreement about the "right" level of tooling/abstraction is because there's a such a wide variety of "web applications" and developers with varying amounts of experience building complex applications.
It seems like insomnia is still open source, and the paid features are just cloud services.
It's because Wikipedia is edited by anonymous people. sources is not to say "this is true because this is written in this source" but "this is true because someone with authority said so". Citing sources is is a form of argument from authority. It is a a fallacy if the source has no authority but a completely valid argument if the source does. Wikipedia has no authority because of its anonymous nature. There's no one to hold responsible and no one who'll lose credibility by publishing bullshit on Wikipedia.

Also, most Wikipedia articles worth citing contain really bad factual errors. Since most readers aren't topic experts they don't notice such errors. But they are there and they are really bad. I only have some math education but I've found lots of mistakes in proofs on Wikipedia. Imagine how bad it is for higher-level math that is beyond the reach of most visitors to the site.
I've always just assumed the increased surface area from expansion results in more light getting absorbed, not unlike how more particulate in the air (dust, smoke, sand) reduces the amount of light hitting something.

Yes just like the "Blue Zone" diet areas were found to be curiously poor parts of countries. It turns out they weren't the places with the most residents over 100, they were the places with the most... poor record keeping and fraud.

As a child (Italy) I was taught that the temperature measured outside the body (armpit) would be usually 0.5C lower than the one measure inside the body (rectum, mouth).

The threshold for "fever" as reported on all old mercury-based thermometers was exactly 37C and that was referring to the "inside" termperature.

So 36.6 outside would definitely be considered onset of mild fever, not normal. 36.6 inside would be a-ok
Wow this is actually fairly close to my prediction for the HN Next Decade Prediction post.

The headline is misleading, but they immediately follow up with a qualification that makes the headline technically not wrong. They're saying just market value of the equity. That can be very different from market value of the enterprise, which includes the market value of all financing: debt as well as equity.

The metric they're using is not necessarily a meaningful way to rank the "biggest," or even "most valuable" auto making operations.
I think it's a funny coincidence that he says "Light acts as a medium of information transfer here.", because IMO this article is only a medium of info transfer from the source he links at the bottom (to be fair, at least he links it) without adding much.

I don't think there's anything wrong with making personal blog posts about learning well established concepts, but promoting them is the reason we have a million Medium/etc articles that are just regurgitating a paper without adding anything of substance.

It really depends on the dispensary and state. If they have actual third-party testing data from an accredited lab, then it is most likely legitimate. But many dispensaries don't have to check the CBD products for label accuracy. They also do not have to worry about high THC levels, so you could be getting much higher THC than you wanted.
I do like that you have to “sudo” a program to allow it to access certain files. Even if I am the only user, it stops malicious programs from modifying certain files without me noticing.
Foreigners cannot vote, so it seems odd that the city council would pay that much attention to them.

My point is that there's a small but persistent current of thought regarding the housing crisis that wants to pin the blame on "wealthy foreigners buying up all our real estate", as sort of an 'out' for taking a good, hard look at local housing policies.

IBM also failed to lock down the IBM PC hardware standard.

I think you mean that B points to D mutably because C is mutable. The pointing from B to C is locked in place because of the immutability of B. However, C is free to change it's pointers to some other D.

Why is Ruby on Rails' default_scope bad?
The problem is one of culture. A reliance on complicated tooling requires specialization to these tools, which slows down team building time.

I've rescued several projects where more time was spent on making the lives of the developers "easier" than actually solving the problems of the user. Bike shedding and navel gazing is a huge problem in our industry, even if we don't like to admit it.
Huh, it's a waybill stickered to the device; in the picture with the man, you can see the shipping sticker on the front left of the orange cube.

Which makes the device boring. If it had secrets inside or it was for military use, they would not have sent it naked, using DH-effing-L!

At first I thought they sent something to the fisherman, and since he was complaining about his fishing net, I thought the article was about to tell me that he got a replacement fishing net straight from "NASA", as we can see from the DHL package he got... but sadly that wasn't the case.
Yep, and Ring has already proven its model. If privacy were an actual problem, Ring would not have made it this far.

Correlation doesn't equal causation. How would parking money in a depreciating asset benefit a foreign investor? They clearly aren't cashflow positive, so some other outside influence is causing this and it is limited to a few specific cities, so it has to be some localized effect.

Some look at the situation, question what's different about SF that might be causing this, and point to the highly restrictive development laws the city has. These prevent new comers from entering the market leaving only those who are primarily playing the long game and looking to build wide moats. If investors who required a much shorter return could compete, it's assumed the situation would normalize

If this isn't the case, then what is the underlying issue? Simply attacking wealthy people for doing something that is a) completely legal and b) obviously providing them some sort of benefit doesn't solve the underlying problem. To look at it another way, SF has clearly been trying to "solve" this problem through increased regulation for many decades now. Where are the success stories we can point to that show the direct approach is working?

> We're not talking about a compressed archive here

I think we have two camps. Mine is considering "copy", "backup", "replica" to be broad categories that are distinguished by simple mathematical or technical properties. For instance, I'd consider a device that copied a single bit to be "copying," even though it's arguably just a wire.

The other camp has very specific products and tasks in mind. A replica is associated with distributed computing, while a backup is something a systems administrator makes as part of disaster recovery.
Your comment history shows an interesting grudge against OSS. Do you genuinely think we'd be better off if all software were commercial? I'm asking sincerely.

Yes and no.

Nitrogen deficiency is the factor that would promote the most growth, but at the same time, it's fair to think of all plants as constantly CO2 starved.

Side question -- on the guy's map, what's the meaning of the segmented ends of certain lines? It's where the lines appear to have divisions between stations in the line segment, such as the Z line in Brooklyn, A line in Rockaway, the 5 or B up in Bronx?

Is that designating express service? Seems very counter-intuitive to me to illustrate it that way.
I guess we’re just plugging our own apps. Our company has spent a considerable amount of time optimizing our site for PWA compatibility. We have a lot of users so these kind of optimizations are worthwhile financially but also substantially ease the load on our front end and back end servers.

https://tracker.gg/tft

PWA features:

- Installable

- Offline caching

- Push Notifications

- Server side rendering

- Heavy use of edge caching (JS, CSS, images, JSON from our API), HTML caching coming soon

- Auto WebP Images support

- Preload/preconnect

- WebShare, Web Payments (Apple/Android Pay)

- Automatic image optimization using a custom edge-cached image manipulation service

- Self updating: despite being cached it will immediately upgrade itself if a new build is detected
Is $10,000 in RSU over 4 years significant, in comparison to what the FAANG gives out?

This sounds like a pittance. It’s only an extra $208/month. It doesn’t even pay for your average monthly gasoline expenses.

And it’s even less than what some companies give out for annual Christmas bonuses. It sounds like these companies give out these fake RSUs in order to avoid having to distribute a meaningful annual bonus.
It also specifies that the warrant must be specific in describing the list of things to be turned over, and specifically prohibits overly broad warrants without cause.

Never mind that that Amendment technically has nada to do with this, because technically speaking, 4th Amendment for the person in question stopped applying due to Third Party Doctrine.

This is purely a procedural issue between Google and the government.

Read that and take it in for a minute. You're only as secure in information about yourself as you can say that you alone are the chief facilitator of your day-to-day activity, and that where you aren't, those who are hold government to the proper standard of access.

Furthermore, I"m fairly sure that Google has far more detailed information hoovered up with regards to everyday people than they wish to go on the public record as having. If this were a fishing expedition, and they handed over replication tracks for 2 months for instance. That would become verified public knowledge that they collect that information, and store it in queryable form.

Google is acting very shrewdly to disclose as little about their true data collection capabilities as possible. Likely because of the backlash that would occur if people were aware of just what they were sitting on.

There was a Jeffrey Deaver book that somewhat touched on the dangers of sitting on reams of correlable data, even if measures were in place to ensure none could be written down or physically exfiltrated from the building. The Broken Window I believe it was.

Either way, it should disturb everyone that the government has essentially got a one-stop-shop for just about all the detail about what you're thinking about, all enabled thanks to the requisite tracking for ad targeting.

Heck, If I had more spare time, I'd start building my own search indexer. The balance between personal privacy and government access to reams of metadata about your every day life can't be reconciled with Third Party Doctrine. Period.

It’s your point of view. From my point of view ruby looks much more like pseudo code than python. It reads almost like English. And the closures syntax is way better and much more powerful given that it’s not sillily limited to one expression.
BeOS was as UNIX like, as Amiga was.

Surely it had a cli, UNIX like directory navigation and a couple of UNIX command like utilities.

But good luck porting UNIX CLI software expecting a full POSIX environment.

Potentially. CBD is being looked at for stress and is thought to even be beneficial for public speaking for those who are phobic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28553229). If you are looking for the quickest action, then smoking or vaping will be the way to go. If you are trying to avoid inhalation, taking a tincture sublingually will probably be the next quickest method.
It didn't kill them, though, which was my only point. I guess HN didn't think it was as funny as I did.

That more or less puts it out of reach for homeowners, condo dwellers, etc. You need a big expensive coordinated project to get that built.

Meanwhile, as an analogy, solar panels are within reach for a homeowner. Seasonal thermal storage will need to be more modular / modest sized for it to be widely applied. The potential for storing heat by forcing endothermic reactions (where you later extract it by running the reaction in reverse) has a lot more potential to be "homeowner sized".
Hardware transcoding in Plex requires the paid Plex Pass or lifetime pass. I'm running Plex/Jellyfin on a 7th gen Intel CPU and until recently had a Quadro card in for hardware transcoding (Picked up a 7700 over the holidays and nixed the dGPU). The server also runs a few VMs and things as needed like PiHole.

Plex will default to a dGPU like the Quadro over Intel Quick Sync on the iGPU and on Windows can't be redirected.

Jellyfin has free transcoding out of the box and you can point it to a GPU of choice like Intel Quick Sync over Nvidia. I'm not 100% if that actually uses the Intel iGPU over the Nvidia card as I removed the dGPU before testing. So far both applications are happy with a few transcodes running on the iGPU with maybe 8-10% CPU usage for each.
If you apply where you have no clout; if I get an invite from my network I assume no hurdles aka based on that they know what I can do for them and that the CTO (in my case) simply removes this requirement.
I’ve never heard anyone say Windows is a problem because it’s proprietary. I have heard that having to pay to upgrade is a pain because you (the company) have to budget for it. Even then, you would also need to budget for the downtime and time to verify that it works before deploying the update, and both those have to be done on Linux too (it’s why LTS releases are a thing).

Anyways, Windows 10 may have its problems, but Microsoft the company is doing pretty well. Their stock is up about 50% this year (200% over the past 5). And that’s not to mention the fact that they’ve open sourced .NET among many other things.
> the likely placenames you'd see

In the UK, you can use the "primary destinations"[1], which are the significant places given on the green signs. The purpose is to know (for sure!) that you can follow "Manchester" north from London until you see e.g. "Bolton".

They were highlighted somehow in road atlases. I started driving in London and after GPS, so I don't have experience actually using the system.

This is a reason behind the E-road network [2], at least for long journeys across countries, but naturally Britain doesn't bother with it.

Agreed!

What strikes me as particularly interesting about Silicon Valley and some techie circles -- as opposed to Nostradamus -- is that many of these people self-identify as hiperrational, agnostic, atheist or wary of traditional religions, yet here they are, building their own religions under a more palatable technological guise (I could list ideas like the Singularity, Super AI good or bad, immortality, "we're living in a simulation", "every problem in the world can be fixed with the right app", etc, but if the list of absurdities goes long enough I'm sure to hit some raw nerve, so I'll stop here).

These modern day Nostradamuses also tend to overinflate their own importance in the wider world. Outside of techie circles Kurzweil is a nobody, and the notion that his theories are some bar that other theories must somehow pass is laughable.

I am a mobile dev and use a plethora of iOS and Android devices all the time, often on many different software versions.

It’s not unique to any platform, and seems to be most often affecting the keyboard input, but occasionally seems to affect the rest of the UI as well.

Software updates will oscillate between breaking and fixing these things on and off between different devices.

I’ve been doing app development since iOS 3 and the first version of the App Store and used an ADP1. There’s no method to the madness I can see. Especially with the keyboard input.

Lord help you if you happen to be using a 4S or 5 or iPad 2/3. I often wait for up to 10-15 seconds for text input to catch up to itself, only to catch up to itself all at once - I can type whole sentences knowing by the time I wait for them to finish it’ll be the same 10-15 seconds to wait as if I’ve typed a single character.

I think there's truth there, but housing distribution solutions never seem to be very elegant.
The way it tends to boil down in my mind is more general philosophical concepts. Starting with the price and cost of housing to me isn't very interesting because market dynamics are what got you here. You want a different city. I want to learn more about what people think that city looks like, and then think about solutions from there.

How do you decide who gets to live in SF (or insert city here)?
Prioritize people who were born there? Whose family has history?
People who have jobs there? What about self-employed people?
People with kids? A lottery system?
