I don't really buy it, the general public is more clever than they're often given credit for. Editing photographs became widespread due to Photoshop and now people are correctly skeptical of photographs. It's mainstream to wonder if outlandish or startling photographs have been manipulated.

Sure some people will believe the bullshit, but I think "want to believe" is a big part of that. The sort of people who think Hillary Clinton eats babies believe it because they hate her, rather than hating her because they believe it.
The audience here is too young for that.
Agreed. And it's not even due to proximity to the fridge (I work from home, distance to fridge didn't change) - but all the stress from watching the entire human civilization being dismantled by the coronavirus is making me hungry more often.
HN can be a very contrarian community when it comes to popular trends or common practices in the tech industry.
Except that "lack of technical knowledge" will have no effect on the outcome here, nor would an abundance. These thugs are terminally lacking anything of any kind of value, and it hinders them no more than their pallid saggy jowls, which jiggle and wiggle tirelessly with the effluent of eternal nonsense.
This looks like one of those P versus NP papers.
What do you mean by meaningless? :)
Memory leaks can certainly be more sinister than the example used here.

It's not possible to never use global state — it makes sense in some cases. And then you end up with harmless things like adding memoization leaking memory when not done properly.
They have no concept of a limit. In a world order as unbalanced as today's, granting themselves this kind power with no proportional responsibility risks forfeiting their authority.

Yes, it's always best to reduce the number of variables in benchmarking, but the setup makes a big difference when we are talking about tiny data sets.

I don't know how to test it properly, but I tried looping over both the initialisation and a single search, and the hash sets were much slower, so much so that hash sets trailed lists by microseconds at size 10000. In retrospect, making those data structures unsurprisingly dominated running time and the test kind of lost all meaning. It was clear, however, that it wouldn't take many searches for the hash sets to win, search times for lists were going through the roof.
A few years ago we had a nightmarish resource leak in our server. The code in question was reading and parsing HTML, looking for a handful of specific tags (title, description, etc). Under heavy load the server would be stable for a few hours, then memory would suddenly explode and kill the NodeJS process.

The problem was caused by the HTML parser we were using. The parsing results appeared to be a POJO but apparently there was much lurking under the surface.

The fix: `parseResults = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(parsedResults))`
If they did that on purpose at scale, as opposed to billing the wrong customer for an order, I promise that it won't save them. That's a slam dunk FTC/class action settlement.

Anyway, seems like your real problem is leaving your money with PayPal to give away to however they see fit, instead of using a legitimate bank with credit/debit card protections.

Third party browser extensions (and cloud syncing) are two things that, while convenient, create potential security holes. I opted for security over convenience with spicypass.

I'm not sure this logic is sound.

For starters, it feels like an appeal to authority. I don't think Pulitzer gets to decide who is credible, as they possibly (likely?) have an agenda like anyone else.

Second, I'm not sure how many hundreds of Pulitzer prizes have been given out over the years, but I surely don't blindly trust every source that has every been awarded one.

Third, receiving a Pulitzer price for one story/investigation, doesn't mean that all the stories written by your dozens of other reporters also become credible.
I don't know about the UK, but I've talked to California farmers who (off the record) tell me they quit advertising locally for workers because at $25/hr they still couldn't get people to work (most wouldn't apply, the ones who did quit after less than a day). Immigrants (not always legal I'm sure but I know better than to ask that question) are happy with $13/hour.
Awesome, thank you! I'll make a note to keep an eye on it as it grows. Good luck!
Yeah, those are all good points, and that makes me feel less concerned after my initial reaction. It does seem like you could influence a small set of people, clearly there are people that believe and don't attempt to verify outlandish things. It seems like it might work on a small scale and that could add up.
This crosses into personal attack. Please don't do that, regardless of what someone else posted.

I recommend reading The Collapse of Complex Societies By Joseph Tainter directly; a lot of this article evidently comes from that book but the book presents the arguments better. Its case studies are detailed and a great aid to the abstract concepts. It has an appendix discussing the situation of the US and Europe which concerns are still relevant. The book is a little dry but not long.

I have had a garden for 4 out of the past six years and tomatoes have always been the easiest plant for me to grow an abundance of. That was in Michigan, Missouri, and Seattle too so it was pretty easy across the entire continent.

The concise method is, start them indoors in a starter kit in the window(right now is the time to do this), move them to a raised bed in the sun after they’ve sprouted and are healthy with roots, and make sure they get a lot of water. That’s it. Always had way too many tomatoes.
Is there a reason that as of 8:38pm EST on Saturday March 28, there is no information about China in the list? Might be an honest mistake (and I am expecting it to get fixed) but it makes me question the accuracy of all the other number

No, they do not.
I have been playing with my (spare) Android phone and its GPS to record my location and speed when driving. My guess is when using an app on Android, there are too many variables (from the actual GPS hardware, device ROM settings, app settings, etc.) which are not very easily accessible and likely optimized for different goals.

In my use case (as in the article) only care about GPS readouts when the car is in motion so I don't really care about energy efficiency (within reason, the cigarette lighter thing should be able to safely power the device).

The GPS module manual says it takes about forty seconds for the GPS module to position.

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81+jY5X2YrL...

> Once the GPS module is powered on, there is data output
> It usually takes about 40 seconds to be successfully positioned.
> After the positioning is successful, the correct time, latitude and longitude position data will be available.

But the article says:

> GPS is usually acquired within 15-30 seconds of starting (much faster than the cheap electronic speedometers I tested first).

Maybe this does not include the time it takes for the raspberry pi to boot? Maybe the raspberry pi takes an additional thirty seconds to boot and the GPS unit powers on almost simultaneously with the raspberry pi but we don't blame the GPS module for any delay until the raspberry pi boots, logs in, and the Navit application starts?

Or maybe the GPS positions way before forty seconds and the manual is written that way to not be overly optimistic (could never get decent GPS signal when walking in areas with tall skyscrapers on my Android phone a few years back).

This is also exciting because it is modular. When GPS III[1] (hopefully) becomes operational by the end of the decade (The tenth and final GPS Block III launch is projected in Q2 2023 so it should be fully operational/adopted by 2030), you could simply use a new module (in theory at least).

Same way you use anything. Testing isn't perfect, yet it is still useful. Fuzzing isn't perfect, yet it is still useful. Unsound static analysis techniques aren't perfect, yet they are still useful.

The alternative is that your abstract interpretation is pinning to Top very quickly and then throwing false positives everywhere.

For sure, but curious conversation on political topics is possible, and is not battle. It depends on whether one is posting thoughtfully or just trying to smite enemies.

That's the zone that we hope HN threads will inhabit when addressing politicized topics. Of course it's unstable and frequently deteriorates, hence all the moderation comments we end up having to post. But I don't know of a better alternative. As I explained at the links mentioned upthread, we can't ban all politics and we can't just let such threads run raw either.
That's approximately $46 USD, which is actually in line with most cable companies when you are a new customer.

Of course, they get you by turning that $45 for 100Mb down with the modem rental for $10 / month, the 'fees' and
taxes that are another $10 / month. Then, after your 'introductory' prices expire, you end up at $70 / month for the same 100Mb. But listen to this - a deal you can't refuse when your intro prices expire: They will sell you a 'bundle' with included cable TV for the same price of $70.

And now you're looking at the original $70... plus digital box fee of $10 / month x 2 or 3 outlets, and also another $5 for sports programming fees you never watch, DV recorder boxes for all the outlets, so you can record that one show, and even an HBO Go trial that was 'free' for 6 months, but then turns into a $10 / month recurring charge.

And this is how the average household in America ends up paying $150 / month, when all they really wanted in the first place was a $40 /100MB internet connection. Unless you're making below poverty rates, where the telecoms are forced to offer you a basic internet plan for under $20, you're going to get screwed because there is no way to get just decent internet without all the add-ons.
My point still stands regardless of how confident you are in the biological argument: If it's biologically impossible, then you didn't learn anything from the Theranos debacle.

> Viruses seem far more fragile than bacteria

This is a complicated issue, partially because viruses are not "alive" in the way bacteria are, so it can be tricky to define what "killing" them means. In the case of coronavirus, plain soap is like kryptonite to them. Whereas triclosan--which kills many bacteria--does almost nothing to coronavirus.

From my (basic) understanding of selinux some limitations could be put in place using selinux (I'm thinking of, for example, preventing Firefox and it's children from accessing filesystems outside a predefined path, or labelling files downloaded using Firefox from accessing certain paths if executed -- using labels and policies)

> Starlink does require towers because the data has to be beamed back to the ground. The more bandwidth you serve in an area, the more towers you need.

That's a ground station, not towers. The "towers" are the satellites. And the number of grounds stations you need doesn't really have much to do with how much bandwidth you use, because they can use directional wireless or laser communications at higher power levels than ordinary devices, so they're not the bottleneck.

The reason to have a large number of ground stations is so that there is one within range no matter where a satellite is. But they have plans to build an inter-satellite mesh that would remove that requirement as well:

https://hackaday.com/2019/05/20/everything-we-know-about-spa...

In principle if they wanted to serve a higher density area they would need more satellites so they could each cover less area, but that's not really its purpose. Dense areas can more than justify a fiber network. What the satellites get you is world-wide coverage from one network, particularly including the places that don't have existing coverage because their density is too low.

And the combination of that doesn't leave much left for cellular to do. You have a very high bandwidth fiber connection at home, at work, backing the wifi in any kind of a hotel or coffee house, and then Starlink for when you're in a rural area or in a car and you want to look at a map but aren't near any of those. What's left for cellular?
Rightfully, to avoid exhausting the limited supply that’s needed for medical workers. You can make/improvise your own and it will help.

> It's not enough to keep yourself fed all year round

In 2019 I produced almost 300 Kg of my own food at home without really trying hard, so maybe not all year round, but is possible to notice a difference. The garden had provided me with at least a piece of fresh fruit each day of 2020 and this point is covered until june-2020 at least.

The problem is trying to obtain your food without space, without feeding your plants, and relying in magical products. This never works as intended.

People needs to understand also that producing food at home is more expensive (but the quality is better).
>Your ethics are atrocious.

Now you're just engaging in personal attacks. "Taxation is theft" libertarian dead-ender thinking. You're going to have to do the work yourself of understanding that there is a cost to maintain the system that enables your exchange and varying opinions as to who should pay that cost. Asserting that the cost doesn't exist is fanciful ignorance.

Good day.
It has the functionality of the first Connection Machine, except with no network to exchange values between columns (as another comment pointed out). You can do 64K logic operations, each on one bit, at a time. You still need an external controller (which can be in the FPGA, as you suggested) to fetch instructions, do loops and things like that.

The CM-1 could do conditional execution: you tell the 64k processors to add but only those with a give flag set to 1 will actually do it while the others will execute a NOP. It is possible to simulate this on this design but it would be rather awkward, just like their 1 bit addition is awkward compared to the one clock equivalent in the CM-1.

Try the paper towel trick: wrap the seeds in a moist paper towel (not too wet, or it will encourage fungus growth). Then, keep them inside a ziplock bag in a warm place for a couple of days, checking on them every day. I keep them on top of the refridgerator where it's nice and warm.

Beans sprout super fast! For very dry seeds (lentils, beans, peas, edamamme) you could soak them in water overnight and just use the seeds that settle down after they've absorbed some moisture.
I mostly agree, but we really have no way of telling if its meaningless or not.
