I've somehow never believed that theory. There are tens of thousands who buy gas guzzlers, at whatever price of gas was/is. If only people were that rational, they'd stop buying them to save our planet.

This is "football" in most parts of the world - or the latinized futebol / fùtbol.
Just to clarify - regardless of whether they cast someone 18 or 17 - they were intent on casting young adults in advertising - this wasn't an effort on their part to make sure 40 year olds are aware of a way to safely quite smoking, it was a deliberate effort to hook new consumers since... even within the range stretching up to 20-23, those potential customers will be conversions from non-smokers in all likelihood.
Yes, for sure. I think the standard ESP32 + eink combo module consumes about 7.5ma in deep sleep. If you desolder the onboard power LED it will be much less - possibly 1ma.
... And they managed to do it while only breaking 3 of the 10 commandments! (2, 8 and 10)

Go has a rather idiosyncratic take on arrays and how they're used, which is reflected in its slices. I can't think of any other language or framework that did it this way.
I've often thought it would be useful to put a permanent marker of some sort at the spot of every traffic fatality. In the US, people often put crosses up, but this is haphazard, and of course can't be in the roadway. Maybe a painted gray X or something.

The point is that a crap-ton of these would serve as a useful warning to the wise.
You’re asking me? Who bloody knows? They still have to file, contribute to Social Security (the employer and employee side) and pay whatever income tax they owe. For some, it isn’t their only job, and for others, they make their own choices about how many hours it is worth driving.

They’re neither slaves nor indentured servants nor necessarily any worse off or better off than your average Café worker. They make the choices they make in exchange for a paycheck, no different than you and I in that regard. The income they receive goes somewhere, and some of that goes to the government in the form of taxes, no different than your or I. Feel free to dig into the numbers yourself to figure out how much, but figure in that some of that is likely going into the car, which means auto shops and car dealers, some of that is going to coffee or tea, some of that is going to their rent, and some of that is going to the food they eat. All of which is eventually ending up in someone else’s paycheck as taxable income for which some will file a W2 and others will file a 1040 whether that’s tomorrow or 20 years from now.

After my previous employer went through a merger I let it be known to upper management that I was friendly with that I wanted to be laid off. They arranged it, then quit and hired me at their next place a year later. Got a severance package and a signing bonus and a 40% raise from the same manager within two years.
I've seen one other paper that mentions this:

That would be 25% gross margin. That means before they've paid salaries and recurring expenses.

Nonetheless, for autos, that is world class. Last time I checked, only Toyota had higher gross margins.

Note that it's also before they've paid interest or principle on loans/bonds, before their capital spend (new factories & mfg. equipment). This type of spending is investing in future profits, such as building CyberTruck, adding capacity for more Model Ys, adding capacity for charge stations, etc.
Yes agreed. That would be very helpful indeed. Even more so, which partners invested in which companies would also be good.

There is an app I've been using to track my Vitamin D for a few years now: http://dminder.ontometrics.com

(Not affiliated with the app, just happy with it.) It tells you the sun angle, peak hour of the day, and maximum time you should be in that day's sun based on your skin type, to avoid getting burnt while still getting enough D.

Be careful though - you might get a little OCD about Vitamin D tracking with this app. I did, and mainly use it now for checking how long it is safe to stay outdoors. (Instead of full blown tracking.)
I read about the 2017 and 2018 US vaccination rates on the CDC website recently, those years we got an estimated low 40% range vaccination on adults and in the 60% range for children vaccinated.
If you watch the videos by Dr John Campbell (British public health expert), he talks about Vitamin D all the time. He also expresses his frustration that this isn't given more attention.

I have to admit that I felt a visceral anger reading parent's comment as well. I quit smoking via e-cigarettes and via Tooti Frooti, Tiger's Blood, Fruit Loops and a dozen other "tasty" flavors.

A parallel could be made to childhood obesity. Yes, soft drinks contribute, but with parent's logic, all flavored soft drinks should be made illegal in favor of, well, 'plain carbonated water' flavor. Yum! Won't somebody please think of the children!

Keep me out of your Orwellian utopia, thanks.
This issue goes beyond MacOS too. The traditional model of allowing any process to read and write anything created by the same user, send IPC messages (unix sockets, mach ports, window messages etc.) to most processes, and execute any subprocess has serious security and privacy implications. iOS, Android, and to a lesser extent ChromeOS offer a different, more intuitive, security model, but one which is difficult to retrofit to traditional OSs.

Attempts to retrofit a sandbox to older OSs are full of holes, and it's interesting to see how different ecosystems attempt to do this, with containers, AppArmor, the seatbelt sandbox, and other things brewing in Redmond.

Ask HN: Need your help to figure out how to make money out of my project.
Hi All,

I wrote a Dakvik VM from scratch in C with the following major features below, need your help to find my next steps.

* >1M instructions on STM32 based BluePill board(<$3).
* Precise compacting GC.
* Interrupt support.
* Native C interface generator.
* Platform abstraction layer for HW peripherals.
* Arrays, Float, Switch, Exception, Interface, Multiple inheritance, dynamic and etc.
* Believe or not RXJava lie programming is possible, sort of :).

Features not available on master branch;
* MultiThreading (Developed a simple preemptive rtos for cortex m but not integrated yet.)
* Shared Library support. (Working on a bare metal project for Cortex M series.)

QUESTIONS
As a freelancer/remote engineer I want to make money out of this.
* From your experience what are my options?
* What do you think is the best way to generate money out of this project?
* Open Source(which license) or proprietary license?
* What do you think about doing a Kickstarter project in this Covid19 days?
* Creating a Udemy course? How I can protect ownership of the code? Can I survive with it as a family?
* Selling it to a company?
* Landing to a remote job around this tech?
* Any idea how Oracle vs Google lawsuit will end, Do you think my customers will need to pay to Oracle or Google?
* Can I find support/funding to bring Kotlin or Groovy like language to embedded world with no java involved rather than compiler it self written in Java.
* What you would love to have as a way of programming for small devices?

The only thing i know for sure is make it free for makers/hobbyist.
I am familiar with other solutions out there from different VMs to languages especially the low hanging ones but would love to hear in depth information.

> The media's job is not to fawn over the president

I wonder if you felt the same way from 2008 to 2016 when they were fawning over the previous president. It's interesting that they do a great job only when a certain political party happens to be in power.

It's easy to be the most watched cable news when every other mainstream channel is carrying water for the opposition party.
Below is the sample code and the apis;

GPIO.FALLING_EDGE,
200, //debounce

Core.println("push button event");
led.flip();
});

while (true) {

Some are already open, but with strict limitations. It won't be the same as re-opening as it was before; there are restrictions on capacity (12 max per teacher), sanitizing procedures, PPE for staff, guidelines around child health and reasons for exclusion, drop-off/pick-up procedures, and so forth. It's also not a carte-blanche reopening for all; the focus is still on essential workers.
Oh I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, what are those things? I would like to hear them but keep in mind these are all opinions rarely (not never, I said rarely motivated b6) empirical analysis. I am curious.

The manufacturers have known that kids are the only viable market to speak of. If it's anything like tobacco, vanishingly few people start as adults.

Kids get them from other kids, at school. This was also the main source of alcohol for kids before the drinking age was raised to 21. My mom taught high school, and noticed that fewer kids came back to school drunk after lunch after the drinking age was raised.
To wit; if my wife gets sick and I care for her, does that mean I am experiencing "prolonged exposure"?
Instead of aspiring to be capitalistic we should aspire to have a competitive market economy.
The other method I've noticed people using is to leave the kids with the grandparents.

Amazon as a whole has nearly a million employees and generates 12-figure revenues. It would be remarkable if it had no R&D at all happening outside its main activities.

But imagine if you could take the more capable people who work on Amazon's high-tech systems like AWS or logistics automation, bundle them into well-composed teams of a few people each, and give each team say $10M in funding. You've potentially just created more highly capable startups with enough runway to do something worthwhile than YC has funded in its entire history. Tell me with a straight face that Amazon as a whole is innovating as much as the combined portfolio of YC from day one.
We're more or less already there:

The latter usually goes by the name "Data Vaults" and actually extends to a blacklist of directories (and at a technical level is enforced in a different manner). Things like ~/Documents, ~/Downloads and ~/Desktop are inaccessible to applications without permission.
It's sometimes said that in software, there hasn't been anything truly new under the sun since the 1970's, just incremental refinements or repacking under a different name. And Lisp has been around since about 1960.

So if any fad/trend comes along promising the sun and stars of simplicity or productivity, search IT history and find the downsides and trade-offs.

I wish there were more KISS pundits than fad pundits.

Unhealthy people are unhealthy
Anecdotally, the few vapers I have spoken to have, actually, substantially increased their consumption. At home all day, nothing to do, vaping is something you can pair with anything else. This has been corroborated with casual conversations with a local vape shop owner; they've never done better business, at least until the actual "shut your in-person shops down" a couple weeks ago here. People want to stock up, and they're consuming more.

People quitting with the goal of keeping their lungs healthy may have an impact, but you could similarly move up the "addiction" chain and reasonably say that there's got to be a decent number of smokers who are looking at this coronavirus as the sign from god they needed to begin quitting. Juul, and vapes in general, are that next step.

My suspicion is that this has little to do with the coronavirus, and more to do with lingering effects from the government pressure months ago. Juul stopped production of every decent flavor they had. Even long time Juul users I know have moved on from Juul and on to other products. They're, in essence, the lightning rod of the industry. Kids don't vape Juul anymore; they haven't for months. They're on cali bars, or even devices like the suorin air. Are those going to get the same pressure Juul did? Probably not. The zeitgeist has moved on.

You are touching upon a real problem here. America hasn't had excess labor for decades now, and so there are no systems in place to rapidly mobilize it. Governments in countries like China and India can scale from zero to millions of temporary employees for any project or effort in a matter of days. Even if San Francisco wants to pay people to stand at every intersection of the city and conduct tests, it will be months before they can even fill out the employment forms and finalize the logistics.

Passing struct arguments by value is also complicated in some ABIs. The most reliable way is to pass a pointer to struct, but with slices that means double indirection.

I don't think ABI is a concern these days, though, even if things were different 30 years ago. The specs that we have today do cover how to pass and return structs in the standard manner.
Sure it does. It's called a 'trust', and its well-covered in corporate law.

And no, I don't have to prove anything. Just that a reasonable congress should have oversight over the single most watched communications channel on the planet.

You were replied to, but I'm going to ask some questions of this moralizing.

> Many HFT jump out when things get volatile, when liquidity is actually required.

This feels almost like a "no true Scotsman" situation. Why is liquidity not "actually required" when volatility is low? Is it a moral obligation for any trader to catch a falling knife? I see this condition of "when liquidity is actually required", but I never understood why there was such a strong feeling for it. Why do you believe this?

> Ultimately HFT is doing nothing of societal value, the race down to zero is never-ending and we are wasting huge amounts of resources on a totally pointless march towards zero.

I don't know, I could probably take a similar view of so many jobs in tech. What does society really get from Snapchat, what do they get from HQ Trivia, what do they get from people making powerpoint presentations with arrows that point to synergies. What's the point of any job with some amount of abstraction?

> Exchanges should introduce random delays to allow market participants who really want to hedge / buy / sell, then we can shift some of the resources to the real world.

Why?

> The system is hugely inefficient

Do you know how efficient the system was before HFT started up? And, do you know how many people were working in trading before, and how many are, for a similar fraction of stock volume?

> The law of diminishing returns.

OK.
Stocks are not the only thing that would be falling rapidly. Real estate is another. What's happening here is that the Fed is making sure that the people who are rich and powerful stay rich and powerful. Otherwise, why not let average people get functionally infinite loans at zero interest? Why can a bank/corporation sell their depressed assets to the Fed at before crash prices but I can't? Every privilege given to incumbent wealth is a middle finger to the average worker.

Maybe it's because of the general levels of education, the telecommute-ability of many of the jobs and the plethora of delivery apps (including some for WEED, bro!) that make many of us in the Bay Area agreeable to a Shelter-In-Place order?

maybe its not very common everywhere but here in Germany i have seen multiple ISPs deploying DS-Lite which means you will get CGNAT for IPv4 networks. whats worse is while if you demand a public IPv4 address you will get it you also wont get IPv6 connectivity anymore. why? no idea... Interestingly, if i happen to use my own DOCSIS modem i get a true DualStack solution so this is not a technical problem for them per se. However, doing so they will force you to use VoIP instead of the IMHO way more stable PacketCable you would get with their modem...
Having, as you suggested, skipped just to the TL;DR, this bit jumped out at me as something that we very much don't know is true, and that it's dangerous to assume is true without proof:

> Once you get sick, you can’t get sick again for a long time. Eventually you might be able to get sick again, but it will not be very bad. When enough people have gotten sick and then gotten better, the sickness can’t spread any more.

(Incidentally, at one point you leave out the 'z' from "hospitalization".)
