We have straight up told extended family either not to buy big gifts for birthday/Christmas, or, alternatively, have said that they can buy those gifts for their house so the kids can play with those toys when we visit. It's been pretty helpful. We've also suggested getting the kids things like yearly memberships to local museums or the aquarium in lieu of gifts.
Google is independent from the two parties in any dispute. I don't really care about your pedantry about terminology. We're not in court.
Apologies re: name assumption. There’s always a lot of throwaway accounts with blank profiles and they’re impossible to tell from genuine content with any certainty. I’ll not comment about account names in the future, it was a bad call.
This stuff always makes me nostalgic. I wonder how feasible it would be to build a search engine specifically for 90s era websites. Ignore all modern stuff.

> WW2, Korea, Vietnam were all unavoidable ideological wars.

None of those were ideological wars. If WW2 was an ideological war, then we would have fought britain, soviet union and china as well as germany, japan and italy.

Wars are fought over wealth, not ideology. There has never been an ideological war and there will never be an ideological war. "Ideology/religion/etc" are used to rile up the masses and send them to die in wars. But they are never the cause of war. Wars happen when the elites feel they can steal wealth from other elites by sending the masses to fight and die.

Two of our "closest" allies - Israel and Saudi Arabia - aren't exactly ideologically aligned with the US. Don't see us going to war with either anytime soon.
That site is cute, but I don't think anyone would seriously claim YouTube is built with "Vanilla JS" in the sense of not requiring a heavy framework to make changes even if the millions of lines od non-vanilla code (guess) they build off of isn't public. And Reddit certainly isn't anymore.

The absolute definition of heroes. It blows my mind to imagine ever having that sort of selfless dedication to helping others. For all the crappy things in the world these days, it's stuff like this that gives me hope for humanity.
A friend just emailed me and told me about San Diego. Somehow I can't get to love the place. I don't know why.

Santa Fe: never been, on my list. Sandia and Los Alamos are two things that I never considered about Santa Fe.

Boulder: love it there. My wife and I even have a favorite restaurant, Frasca. If you happen to go, try it out. The owner is super kind.
One of my biggest things is weather - everybody says so, but I know it's 100% true for me. How's the weather there?
Yes, I think people do. I don’t get European vacations or work trips in first. I don’t get Hawaiian off sites or bonuses or a free phone or a massage. If I’m lucky I get two free drinks at the Christmas party.

> Who is supposed to decide which ones get a notice and which ones don't?

The ones that change a feature after the phone is sold when that feature was prominently marketed to consumers is a safe minimum threshold for what you need to notify your customers of.

If they changed it after 6 months because of a battery design flaw, there would be a class action lawsuit for false advertising. Natural processes that all batteries exhibit that cause them to degrade are fine, and nothing to get up in arms about, but a third party "fixing" the problem for you without letting you know they did so (or giving you the option to opt out) is both not expected, and for many people, not wanted.

It's like buying some high-end car with a supercharger, and a few years later you take it in for a service and the service technicians "helpfully" disable your supercharger because it can sometimes cause problems in some circumstances now that the engine is more worn and the tolerances aren't as tight, but decide it's not worth telling you. That might be something you want, but ultimately you should get that choice.

LoL, wait till you hit 50. I hope it doesn't come as too much of a shock. Do what you can to save up as much money as you possibly can in your 20s, 30s and 40s because it becomes a lot harder to find gigs when you hit 50 (even mid 40s in many cases).

I'm in my mid-50s. Took me 9 months to find a gig a couple years ago when I was looking. Now to be completely honest that's also because I can afford to be pretty picky at this point and I was only applying for stuff that looked really interesting. And if it looked like there was just too much bullshit I wasn't interested. When you hit your 50s you've seen a lot of bullshit in your time and can smell it a mile away. So yeah, it works both ways. There's definitely ageism, but many of us who are aged have saved up enough so we are also picky about what we want to take.

I'm currently between gigs again (previous contract may come back when they get funding so I'm kind of biding my time because that was a good place to work and good places to work can be hard to find). I don't want to call it quits and retire just yet, but I'm finding less and less that's non-bullshit out there these days. And the way interviewing is done these days... well, let's just say it makes me want to retire. I like the work, but I hate the interviewing.

The 6502 is a very constrained CPU. It only has 6 registers, only one of which (PC) is 16 bits. The stack is fixed at addresses 0x0100 to 0x01FF, and the two index registers are 8-bits in size. So is the accumulator and the stack register (hence the fixed address for the system stack) and no stack-based addressing modes. You'll have a severe penalty in doing any 16-bit arithmetic. There is no general multiply or divide instructions. I think the architecture is about as hostile to C as you can get and still be popular.
Intriguing! I’ve always wanted a sampling of fully documented people with video and commentary to get a better idea what others lives are really out there. I understand this isn’t that, but I like the idea of sharing the best of our routines.
I think that this illusion is based on low-contrast change when brighter bus moves in to a brighter stripe (and vice versa). Your eye can’t tell yellow from white as much as it can tell blue from white. If you’re driving on a non-striped road that doesn’t work.

But I’ve read that if you look at a darker car moving at you, you’ll perceive it is a little less threat than e.g. red or neon-colored one, because dark contours “grow” slower. (Similar thing, but can also be a stereotype bs, learned lots of these before debunking via internet era came)
Statistics I saw indicated that 2% of women smoke and 60% of men. This may account for a gender-linked differential between more serious outcomes for men, it could be a selection for smokers. I agree that the air pollution may push even non-smokers into the risk category for smokers in other countries and push smokers into a deeper level of risk.

Ask HN: What are the best strategies for a new grad engineer to build wealth?
I know about a few finance blogs but most don’t address folks like me - single, no debt, but crushed by high rent and a mediocre 401k match.

I currently put in 28% of my pretax income into my 401k and have been for 4 months now (only started using it in December 2018). So far it is not much and I have a similar amount in my mutual fund portfolio, but I’m concerned I bought in at nearer to the peak of the market.

Since my net worth is already pretty mediocre, what can I do to increase it more quickly? I’ve considered switching jobs but I’m resigned to the fact that I can’t get into Google or FB, and my current total compensation is unlikely to rise even to new grad G/FB levels.

Is it hopeless for me or should I keep pressing?
> Who is Ryder? Is he a mad scientist? How did the Mayor get elected?

These are all questions I have asked myself after the second or third consecutive Paw Pareol episode/story. I'd also ask why Adventure Bay has no leash law and why it would allow anyone to carry around a chicken as a pet (not to mention stored in a purse).

I still can't figure out how Mayor Goodway got elected unless either Adventure Bay has hereditary rule, or the producers are trying to prepare kids for the reality of government incompetence.
Caixin is based in Beijing, no amount of personal integrity will give them the freedom to report sufficiently on any matter that has the potential to embarrass the CCP.
To me, building a charger with a CPU that couldn't make it to the moon is a sign of old-fashioned quality.
My wife is mainland Chinese, and she has been saying that it a worse than what the government is saying. Also, since Li Wenliang died, well, frankly a lot of people are pissed at the CCP.

Anyway, I feel like it’ll be an epidemic ( it already is, I believe ) in China, and be much better controlled outside of China.

Unfortunately my wife is also stuck in Chongqing; Taiwan is essentially closing up its borders and we don’t know if she’ll be able to move here to Taiwan to live with me. At least not until things blow over ( I assume summer time ).

I live in Taiwan and they’ve been very good at containing this, afaik. Just this morning they released a map of Taiwan with nav-points where all the cruise ship people were at in Taiwan before they went on the ship, and released information on what to do if you experience certain symptoms. 13 people have been diagnosed and quarantined.
Good job you! I wish that many more principled folks were willing to actually stand up for what they believe in. I think it would make this entire democratic+capitalism system work much better.

People who profess to have "strong beliefs", but are unwilling to back that up with, potentially scary economic, action are big giant hypocrites. And liars and other hypocrites aren't helping anyone.

P.S. I'm pretty sure googles' response starts with "don't let the door", MEH! let them swing.
As a young child, I can remember coordinating Christmas present requests with my peers. This was before the era of internet video.

It may just be that the kids are convincing each other of the ideal request(s).
Actually, so there's a very good chance that this particular optimization is happening due to MIRI, which allows very sophisticated constant evaluation of MIR (a rust intermediate representation)

That's really fascinating. Multiples of 20 give the stepping effect, while the other offsets of 10 grow and shrink. Stuff in between do a strange shrink and stop and grow. I thought 20 looked the best though.

> As I stated in my original post I understand the musician not knowing the difference; however, a professional reporter not knowing the difference or being able to do enough journalistic research to discover the difference is unacceptable.

This is in fact the norm. Journalists write about things they know nothing about under deadline all the time. They have next to no incentive to be accurate since most readers don't know anything about the area they're writing about. People who show through their reporting that they really know what they're talking about in areas where people actually make money tend to get offered jobs that pay better than reporting too.

That reporting is generally awful isn't new and it isn't an accident; it's a feature of the way news is made and paid for.

Specifically in the category of news media companies.

There are many stories that they simply can not publish, being based out of Beijing. These stories, at best, will be published to social media by individuals in the thick of it.
There are two independent timekeeping authorities in the US, the NIST and the Navy, which maintain the official civil and military time respectively. By policy the civil and military time are synchronized, and the precise offset between civil and military time is monitored by the NIST as a form of quality assurance. The offset between the two is generally less than the error in the comparison method.

The Navy offers a similar online time service although it is clearly far less developed from a design perspective (https://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/time/display-clocks/simpletim...). However, what's perhaps more useful is that the Navy continues to offer a telephone time service (202-762-1401) while NIST does not. Additionally, the GPS time, while operated by the Air Force, is precisely synchronized to the Navy time plus or minus a known offset (due to the decision to no longer apply leap seconds to the GPS constellation to avoid leap-second-related problems).

There is some history here. The NIST is interested in timekeeping from a metrological perspective since it is important to many commercial and scientific pursuits. The Navy, on the other hand, has long been interested in accurate timekeeping because it is required for celestial navigation. The transit telescope maintained at the Naval Observatory comes from the legacy of the Naval Observatory as a tool to correctly adjust the clocks used by ships at sea for navigation. Similarly, many of the most significant advances in mechanical timekeeping were spurred by the need for compact and reliable clocks for use at sea.

The Navy operates master clock equipment at Schriever AFB for closer proximity to the NIST equipment at Boulder, but the primary means of comparison of the two time bases is by observing the GPS time. Because of the simplicity and low cost of GPS time sources, GPS is as ubiquitous for time measurement as it is for navigation.

Gross mischaractarization, that applies to individuals. The executive branch has the power to resist a subpoena.

The real solution, at least in metro areas, is using public transport instead of driving. And that is another reason not to buy a Tesla, because of the Musk empire's ongoing crusade against public transportation. Dollars spent on Teslas are dollars available for advocating/subsidizing Loop-type and Boring Company projects that drain the public coffers for transportation infrastructure. I'm sure different people have different opinions on ethically how the anti-public-transport conflict of interest stacks up against the good done by making electric vehicles sexy, but for me they approximately cancel out and there's little virtue in buying a Tesla instead of a very efficient ICE or hybrid.

It's both, it's just complicated by the fact that LLVM is optimizing it to a known formula.

The zero cost abstractions are the fact that you get the same output, special optimization and all, when you do the original loop, or when you use the "(1..n).fold(0, |x,y| x + y)" variant, or "(1..n).sum()" variant. Rust is converting those to intermediate code that is the same, or close enough, that LLVM is able to apply the same optimization.

Would it be better is some sample code was chosen that wasn't special cased to the degree that the entire algorithm was replaced wholesale? Probably. It doesn't invalidate the premise though, just slightly obscures it.

LOL wow, I totally forgot about that! I had more than a few pages with "under construction" including black and yellow striped image.
Bottom line: The car dealership and / or new owner have a case here.

Since Tesla itself sold a car that had autopilot features, it is expected that those features would remain. The dealer bought the car and the fact that it had autopilot features (auto park I suppose?) when the dealer bought it, they were able to test the car and use the feature to assess and market the car's abilities.

Basically it was what it was at the time of the (original) sale. If Tesla wants to be more careful about this in the future that's OK, but they need to remove those features before any party is accepting it in a sale.

I think the owner needs to send a lawsuit to Tesla that offers court, settlement of $8000 or the features to be turned back on - and that's being nice - since at this point the owner has probably gone through the wringer of social media nightmare scenarios at this point.
Is there some historical reason East Texas is a rubber stamp mill for patents and troll suits or is it just something they decided was a good way to make money?
