Some reports suggested that two missiles were launched. It's possible that the person noticed the first one or was otherwise made aware of the launch, and therefore started filming.

But yeah, if anything out of the ordinary happens today, it's very likely that it's being captured.
There are hundreds of portable blood pressure monitors. Many of which are wrist based devices not much bigger than this Omron device. And others which are basically just the size of an upper arm cuff, which is much more accurate than a wrist based device.

I wouldn't say this is a huge win at all. For some reason it can't even store more than 100 measurements, which makes no sense for a fitness watch.
I think pretty much any university could provide proof that Scihub uses phished credentials to proxy articles for their users. It's no secret in HE.

Here's the first Google link. It's far too alarmist but should at least give the gist.
https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2018/09/18/guest-post-th...

One other point I missed that we have to often deal with : when phished accounts are used to mass-download PDFs, many publisher sites auto-block the IP of the requester, which in this case is the University's Ezproxy server. This then means no user at the university can access the resource till the block is lifted (or they could just use Scihub in the meantime :~D ).
Plenty of languages don't need it, even some older than C.

This all comes down to C designers ignoring the security best practices of other systems programming languages, and UNIX clones having mainstream adoption.

Morris worm (1988) wouldn't have been possible in regular Modula-2 (1978) code, nor Ada (1983), Mesa (1976), ESPOL/NEWP (1961), PL/I (1964), PL/S (1974), BLISS (1970), just citing a couple of them.

Yet C17 still doesn't provide language features to prevent another Morris worm, and the security Annex was made optional instead.
I just clone my dotfile repo from github into ~/darkrc and include the config files I want on each system, so my ~/.bashrc will have a "source $HOME/darkrc/bashrc" at the end, ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf will have "source ~/darkrc/ranger.conf", etc.
> Those professors write the textbooks and will lose out if you pirate them.

I don’t know how it works in other countries but here in the Netherlands most professors write those textbooks during time they are already paid for by their employer, but pocket the revenue of the textbooks themselves. In the meanwhile they actively discourage the use of second-hand textbooks by requiring students to buy the latest edition each year.
Good idea, tx :)
I started using the mi band 3 last summer and recently upgraded to the mi band 4. Usually battery life is three weeks (!) give or take a few days, I use it to control music volume when in the shower (it's waterproof, I take it swimming) and have it track my sleeping habits. It's incredibly inexpensive and the Mi Fit app also works well for tracking runs or cycles.

My only wish is that it would have better support for different Unicode characters. It displays English and Chinese just fine, but it doesn't work well with Korean or Japanese characters (which you may encounter in notification texts or when controlling music).

A closer look at Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘next decade’ manifesto
This headline is clear evidence of the usual pervasive daily media manipulation by way of talking points issued from a mouthpiece, and echoed by toadies.

We know that the 737 itself has been around for a long, long time.

We know that its main selling point was that it's still the same plane, because they wanted to skirt the dreaded type certification regulations.

The primary design change was installing bigger engines, such that they changed the center of gravity.

They then tried to solve for the altered fulcrum with minimized software assisted flight control.

They tried to hide it, because they were trying to sidestep the possibility of type certification costs. The key benefit of purchase being that there was no need to retrain.

Looking at what the sensors and software did in order to affect flight control, yes, we see the glaring errors.

Nonetheless, it doesn't mean the quote was informed, prescient or salient.

That comment leapt out to me to. I would wager that the same sentiment has been expressed about any sufficiently large project whether it's successful or not. There's always going to be someone in a company who thinks someone else is an idiot.
I suspect the software has an effect too. There's certainly some neat stuff you can experience with VR headsets now, and apps have been made for it, but none of the things released so far have been a big enough hit to make people want go out and buy the systems to experiece them.

They just don't have their Super Mario Bros/Tetris/Wii Sports/Minecraft/whatever equivalent yet, the thing that'll set the world on fire enough that people will be all like "I'll have to buy a VR headset now, to experience this product everyone else is talking about"
Yeah, my Pebble Time Steel, 10 day of battery time, always on screen, shows me a map and/or directions while biking, allows me to answer calls and control volume/play-pause on the phone and Sonos at home, indicates the next train home, allowed me to set alarms and was a comprehensive stopwatch. Allowed for standard answers to any notification, allows me to filter for only important things to come through... It was the pinnacle of smart watches. Now all I see is trackers. I don't understand where Casio is in all this, give me a G-shock with notifications... I'd be very happy with it, even with just a monochrome screen.
It only shows the charging display when plugged, so it's not exactly a match for your use case.

What I like is the battery life, and the price point. I usually charge it during the weekend, and wake it up by touching the face. Also I did scratch the screen when doing rough work, and didn't even bother: if it troubles me, I'll buy another. The price is literally less than the price of a screen protector for a normal smartwatch

That's a coincidence this surfacing right now. There must be something in the air. I was an enthusiastic BeOS user back when it was a thing (ironically, I switched to it because I thought NEXTSTEP didn't have much of a future left), and I used it for a few years, quite happily. It left me with a legacy of several BeBoxes, and over the holiday period, I was vaguely inspired to dust them off and wonder about what to do with them. I got one of them booting perfectly, here's a link I posted to reddit showing it's first POST

Your statements broke my brain... "The plane got approved, it must have been good enough, however grueling it got during the design process".

But all evidence shows it wasn't good enough (the design killed some 300 people!), but it got rubber stamp approval.
It is not the OS, not even the software ... Apple would still be a failure if it is all desktop OS. And the first thing he did is to do sos to Microsoft and ask for office license for 5% Apple share for a reason. That is done.

I think it's the same issue that's happening with electric cars. People remember only the disadvantages of old technology and aren't aware of new tech being much better and more user friendly. With VR, people think it's cables, bulky PC's and complex setup, because that's their first and only experience with it. With electric cars, it's range anxiety, slow charging and degrading batteries. Meanwhile, the media tends to strengthen this bias with articles like this one and reporting every single incident with a Tesla.

The only way to change people's minds is to let them experience the alternative, I see this both with my Quest and my Tesla. We recently had a game night at work, where multiple people brought VR headsets, but mine was the only tetherless one. I let people play Tea for God, which is a procedurally generated game that lets people walk a long distance in a restricted play area. Many of them had played VR games before, but nobody experienced anything like this and many people asked me more about it, even days later, because they weren't aware that the technology existed.

Ask HN: I am at crossroads in my life. Pursuing my own idea or a full-time job?
11 years ago, I started working as Jr. Web Developer in a startup. Founders were close to my family and they gave me chance to work there. I can say that we started company together because when I got hired the company was 1 year old and there were only founders, no one else.
Two months ago I've left the company(There were some specific reasons for that). I was the director of development for 2 years and I've been always close to the management. After I left, now I understood that that company became my identity because for 11 years I slept and woke up with that company. I sacrificed my nights and weekends for it. Now I am stuck, not sure what's the next? Actually I am close to one path but I am looking for advice.

I've been always interested in startups. I began my tech career in a startup and I know what exactly a startup is. I read articles, books and watch videos, movies related to startup. I've always wanted to start my own company one day. Besides that, I am a full stack developer and I can build a product from idea to product.

Options for me:

1. I can apply to a software company and I can get hired with a good salary. In my free time, I can start building a side project. When I reach the ramen profit, I can quit my full-time job and focus on my project full time.

2. I have my savings. With minimum expenses, I can live with these savings for two years. So I can now start building a project and I bootstrap it with my savings. If I fail, I can apply for a full-time job.

I want to go with this second option but I have a problem. I have many ideas but I have an analysis/paralysis problem. I am not sure what to build. I am not a big risk taker and I don't have a business partner. So I want one man bootstrapped business. All the ideas I have are already existed in the market (as expected). I can choose a specific niche and build a product for that market but I am stuck at choosing the niche too. Please give me some advice.

That’s a good point. In my experience in studios (from around 5 years ago) windows is just about as prevalent as OS X at this point. I’m sure whatever niche you’re in does affect this however.
Have a look at hybrid watches: Analog time pieces with Bluetooth, a small display, vibration alert etc.

I like my Withings Steel HR, they are maybe in your price class and you can easily ignore the fitness stuff. Battery runtime around 20 days.

Use Peak-End Rule to Craft UX
I understand why people like Sci-Hub, but basically it will not exist without work of journals that they scrape. If it will consist of unvalidated papers that everyone can submit it will be far less usable, it will be bloated with false research and non-science papers. I don't think that this format of work is vitable in a long term. As far as I see it should be converted to format like Apple Music, when new big player will come with some nominal subscription fee, like 10$/month and will open everything it has, or to Wikipedia format, when there is some comunity that can moderate open source articles and publish them.
Agree. Iran has been sanctioned for a long time, But PayPal would almost certainly would be overly cautious given recent events and maybe more edge cases are getting denied than a few months ago.

Anyway, either way we clearly agree here
Consider Amazfit Bip/Bip R/Bip S. The original Bip has 2-4 weeks of battery, GPS, heart rate monitor and always on reflective color screen. Bip S and R are next generation with better screens but shorter battery life (1-2 weeks depending on usage). I used by Bip as a regular watch due to long battery life, heart rate monitor (every 30m) and replacement for my phone during runs (though not that well operating in a city, better to use on open spaces). Bip costs less than 70 bucks.
Sigh! Where to start? OK, let me give it a shot.

Luddites complained about the automated loom as well

Now that's a really bad case of whataboutism. I'm not complaining about technological advance. I'm complaining about tech, which is a massive invasion of privacy. Have you ever been lying on a beach and some asshole lets his drone flying around? I don't know about you, but I really don't fancy to be half naked on some cretin's social media feed without my consent (which, needless to say I didn't give and would never ever provide).

Those bars and strip clubs already have plenty of CCTVs, you are being recorded.

I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that if such an establishment uploads the feed to the internet they'll go out of business mighty fast. In addition I don't have cops hanging around semi private places constantly recording what's going on in such places.

Those establishments may have a justified use, namely security, for such tech. You don't.

almost every phone has a camera capable of taking video

That was one of the more stupid arguments used by glassholes. When you whip out your phone and start recording that's obvious as hell. Not so, when you do it by a wearable.

people are worried about the potential for privacy abuse, but in the end these fears don’t come to pass

Actually they are very much. There were umpteen stories about glassholes using their gizmos even in places that explicitly banned their use. They then had the nerve to complain publicly about "ludites" that deemed this unacceptable.

Here's a search for you:

"privacy abuse google glass"

It yields 53’900’000 results. If just one procent of one procent involve actual stories of real privacy violations that's a massive invasion of societal privacy for ones own gratification. And that's exactly what's completely unacceptable.

You're free to believe in your techno utopia and that it only leads to progess and betterment of humanity.

I think you're wrong and believe my arguments to be sound as proven by the last 20 years and the rise of those tech behemoths and their constantly shitty behavior.

Calling me a ludite and using tech, which truly benefited humanity to make your argument makes you, in my opinion, intellectually dishonest.

And that's where I'll close my argument, since it's pretty obvious that we'll never agree.
Google Scholar still gets its PDFs from preprint servers and author's websites. I suppose you meant to say that Google Scholar's web indexing is how many people got their PDFs pre-scihub?
> they just don't have the quality or framerate to really send home the "future of gaming" VR has been sold as

Have you actually played with the Quest? I've had many people use mine, also people who used Vive or Rift before and nobody was disappointed with the quality of it. If realism and frame rate were the most important part of gaming, then Pokemon Go and Candy Crush wouldn't be as profitable as they are. The majority of people want simple, arcade style entertainment, not hyper realistic sagas that take hours to finish.

Even if Bitcoin only uses CO2-free energy, they hog energy that would be available for other projects, so those projects need to use more coal power in return, hence it creates pollution.
Major work as in making this a proper cross browser standard that results in people actually being able to use it instead of just talking about maybe using it some day when it stops sucking this much. The sad state of PWA is that if Chrome were to drop support for it tomorrow, very few people would even notice this and very few applications would stop working.

My impression is that devloping and testing this stuff is unnecessarily hard. The UI experience around this is flaky/inconsistent even when it works and the difference between this being broken/misconfigured or a user error is basically very hard to pin down. IMHO this is completely unusable in its current form and that's probably the main reason basically most people that ought to be getting some value out of this are either unaware it exists because they've actually never seen a real world example on a real world website adding any value whatsoever; or have made the conscious decision it's not worth their time (because of all the above). I'm in the latter category. I would use it but in its current form that's not something I can sell to a product manager.
I also recommend looking and Withings. Though I moved to Apple Watch I can only say good things about Withings watches. Nice products.
Go for #2, but first spend a month or two seriously investigating potential startup ideas. Make it your job, 60 hours a week, to brainstorm ideas, research competition, create simple MVPs, etc. You likely haven't put as much effort into potential startup ideas as you have into your regular job, so don't feel inadequate or hopeless if you haven't stumbled upon the right idea yet.

In my experience, #1 never really works, especially if you are unsure of what the project will be in the first place. You have two years, which is more than enough time to build and test at least a half-dozen serious projects. If none of them work, go get a job with an awesome new portfolio.

I would love an alternative that is free/and or possible to self-host.

However, I do not see how this compares to Notion. How do I edit this HTML file on my phone? How do I add bookmarks to it via a hotkey? What is the equivalent of Notion's databases? Does it have Slash commands? This list of questions could go on for much longer. I really don't want to sound like a Notion shill, especially since I also use other tools (e.g. GitLab) for my knowledge base, but many of the suggested alternatives lack basically all the features that I describe in my post.

Pros and Cons of Using Symbol() in Keys for React Elements?
Because the FS can be deeply integrated with the RAID implementation. With a normal RAID, if the data at some address is different between the two disks, there's no way for the fs to tell which is correct, because the RAID code essentially just picks one, it can't even see the other. With ZFS for example, there is a checksum stored with the data, so when you read, zfs will check the data on both and pick the correct one. It will also overwrite the incorrect version with the correct one, and log the error.
It's the same kind of story with encryption, if its built in you can do things like incremental backups of an encrypted drive, without ever decrypting it on the target.
I'd say very useful for a 50+ demo that wants to check easily
It’s just a different style. After using kdb+/q for aoc2019, I quite like the no space one-line style. I find the code easier to read and remember. I think most people who have tried an APL derived language also agree.

Here in the UK we don't seem to have this problem for some reason (possibly strong student unions?). I have studied at 3 different universities, and none of them required me to spend more than £100 total in course materials for a year.

For mathematics, all of my course materials were available in PDF format for free (which I could then print myself if I wished to). For Philosophy, the majority of readings were available through the library system. Some courses did require a textbook, but use of older editions was encouraged, and often a photocopied "pack" of the relevant chapters would be made available for a small fee (<£15) by the faculty office.
