I listen to the podcast because of the diverse and interesting guests that are on there sometimes.

It's interesting to watch how a guy that kinda rambles with some friends mostly, created a following, turned his side hustle into an income and now he's really cashing in.

Idk to what extent he worked hard to develop this business. But I suspect it's mostly him making people feels comfortable to table about what they know. If there is someone working on this I would guess the cohost - Jamie - is doing the heavy googling.
So, like the 'real' account of the OBL raid or chemical weapons in Syria, another huge story being broken by Hersh based on unverifiable anonymous insider information which no one else can confirm. No wonder the New Yorker hasn't published anything by him in half a decade and he had to move to LRB (and not always even then)...
Likely to be followed by The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and other leading news organizations in the US, as well as elsewhere.

High-quality news and editorial content is sought out mainly by smart, educated, and/or wealthy audiences. It's a very valuable, high-labor-cost, difficult-to-replicate asset.

After many painful years of business failures and consolidation, this valuable asset -- high-quality news content -- along with the smart, educated, and/or wealthy audiences it attracts, have gradually become concentrated in a fairly small number of news brands with global reputations. The New York Times is one of them.

As an aside, I would note that these global news brands now account for a surprisingly large proportion of front-page links submitted to HN.[a]

Why would they want to split advertising revenues with third parties? They no longer need to do that.

Yeah I get that. I prefer declarative code. I really enjoy constraint programming, for example, which is anything but imperative. I had no idea there were folks who preferred imperative languages until I discovered the Go community. I always figured people choose imperative languages for lack of familiarity with more declarative ones.
Well there goes a few hours of my day.

Can anyone explain how Mainframes differ from commodity servers or a high-performance computing cluster with low-latency networking? Is there really a practical difference? I get that they are useful for handling banking transactions, but I've never gotten a good explanation of why a collection of networked servers is poor for this.
Bank level encryption. Yep, fine.
Similar to what @zrail said, I felt a lot of things when I read this and feel even more as I explore it.

A few weeks ago, I pejoratively told my friend that politics is following the fantasy sports trend, emphasizing the individual's performance over the team performance, and how I wish we cared more about the team. That being said, I initially felt really annoyed about this.

The more I dig into it, the more I relax, not knowing in which direction it would go. More people may learn about the process as you've mentioned. We may also put even more focus on the individual performance and care less about the team. But maybe, just like fantasy football, people start having less loyalty to their team (in this case, basically Team Republican and Team Democrat), breaking the strong party affiliations that seem to exist today. I really don't know how it'll go.

I guess the thing I'm most curious about right now:

How did you decide to distribute the points in the way you did?

I don't know, but given MSFTs work with Typescript and React Native, I'm betting Teams and now Lists are probably Typescript React Native apps.
Yes, but there's a difference between complying with the law and having a constantly-shifting rulebook whose enforcement is predicated only on creating the largest value for shareholders. I want rules that apply to all users equally regardless of whether they have ten viewers or ten million, which today's online hosts like Youtube and Twitch blatantly don't do.

OpenCL, DirectX and CUDA all seem to be available for GPU acceleration on WSL.

One other exciting thing is GPU accelerated GUI Linux apps on Windows. You may not need an X server anymore. I'm looking forward to using i3 on Windows.
It’s not a modicum of ethics, it’s ass-covering in the case of legal challenges from the countries where these items were looted. After several high-profile antiquities cases in the early 90s and 2000s, and a federal precedent out of New York, every museum was forced to do this kind of bare minimum due diligence to avoid prosecution. Prior to this, they were being brazenly in bed with organized criminal networks in buying this stuff.
I mean you’re not wrong, I think it’s fair to say the three-point shooter was kind of a specialist position in that era of the NBA, which is what allowed guys like Steve Kerr to steal games in the final seconds (like he did against Utah in 97) BECAUSE nobody chased out to the perimeter, but this combined with the novelty of the Triangle Offense which exploited defenses eager to keep Mike out of the paint and kept the ball moving so that (yep, I’m going back to Phil Jackson here) “nobody felt like a spectator” just created those opportunities naturally, I think.

Game is completely different now, guys like Kerr (current all time leader) and most recently Steph Curry has made perimeter defense more important than it ever has been.

(Holy crap basketball analysis on HN, I’m loving this thread)
It depends on what you do with it, but in my estimation, not really (and it's actually easier to export data from Trello assuming you pay for Business Class). But our IT and records people seem to believe that having everything under the same vendor umbrella is an improvement over having data scattered between services, even if some of the components don't actually offer full compliance.
I have a budget on Excel (with 12-15 months planned) and download the data from my bank/credit card every month to assess how I'm doing vs the plan.

If I'm on a cash-tight period, I increase the assessment frequency accordingly. Typically, my biggest expenses are rent and groceries, so I pay closer attention to those.
I'm mostly just happy that the site works fine with Javascript disabled.

I thought SA was removed because we discovered ways around it. Specifically differential GPS(tl;dr is that if you have a known point on the ground you can take a measurement there and get the SA offset, this is widely used to compensate for atmospheric error in GPS).
> no animal wants to die

Since we're pretending to speak on their behalf, I posit no animal wants to not live either.

By going vegan, you are not merely sparing some animals, you are denying their very existence.

Is a miserable short life, ending in painful death, worse than no life at all?

We are all living on ABC now. (what's ABC?)
Presumably something like CoreOS which makes extensive use of containers and any security feature it can get its hands on.

If I personally put my own opinion on it, I don't like unnecessary use of containers because the model gives you a lot of outdated dependencies, and I'm not sure whether containing a vulnerability once it happens is that noteworthy.

Old skool "use good, secure code. update dependencies" and not focusing on containing a vulnerability produces a much safer system IMO.
If you dive into the history of Stanley's woodworking hand planes, you'll see a 140 year history of bamboozlement going on. A sort of tug-of-war between consumers valuing quality and Stanley cheapening out on designs. You have their subpar Definance line, their Handyman line, and probably others from them. They possibly sold under other names as well. Their main line also went under various changes through the years. They've been putting out junk hand planes since the 1940s and perhaps earlier.

A modern Lie-Nielsen is easily as good as the best Stanley planes.

Old tools are hit or miss. Sure, the design on a drill press hasn't changed in 50 years. But the newer model probably has less runout and a better motor. Bandsaws are the same. One old tool you could never pay me enough to use is an old table saw, or radial arm saw. I like my limbs, and the only saw worth paying money for right now is a SawStop. It's like asking someone if they want to drive a car without seat belts or airbags.
That would be DXVK etc., not this.
I don't know if he got his "day in court", and I'm not sure he deserved one since these platforms can do what they want on an individual basis.

What is dangerous is a handful of platforms dominating communication and then conspiring to censor the same person all at the same time, which is exactly what happened with Alex Jones.

Though it seems reasonable to tell an undesirable to "find your own X", it's also a sentiment that can be taken too far and could be dangerous when taken to its logical extreme. I don't think most reasonable people believe that platforms shouldn't prevent someone from shouting "fire" in a crowded room, metaphorically speaking, but it shouldn't necessarily follow that the same can be said for anything that people may not like.

I listen to Alex Jones occasionally. I don't listen to him because I believe what he says. I just think he's hilarious and I consider him to be a comedian. I can't say that anything that he says is dangerous, as ill informed or misleading some of it is. (maybe his stance on vaccines) Not everything that Alex Jones says is wrong. He is also often wrong.

That said, depending on where the Overton window lies and the climate of politics, I don't like "find your own X" because it signifies a disdain towards dissidence, and we're not far off from saying "If you disagree with the WHO, go find your own platform." That's scary, but a lot of prominent figures in the media lump in skeptics of the WHO with the likes of Alex Jones, conservatives(i.e. heretics), and anti-vaxxers. When someone says "find your own platform", that is a complete dismissal towards someone and their ideas. Coordinated efforts to expunge people from the public square isn't something to be pleased with, even when Alex Jones is the target.

Once we're told to find our own platforms, and that becomes the norm, there's nothing to stop that precedence from propagating to "find your own website" or "find your own payment processor". When these companies are all in cahoots and basically agree about everything, there's absolutely no guarantee that a company's privilege to ban users stops with people like Alex Jones. You might just do or say the wrong thing with good intention.

There's a reason why we stopped excommunicating people who have committed no crime, and coordinated efforts to censor people is effectively modern day exile. If someone is to be expunged from the public square, the argument should be "they did (insert bad thing)", not simply "they can go elsewhere". Most people who think Alex Jones deserved to be banned don't seem particularly well informed about Alex Jones, other than that he's crazy and that he'd eat his neighbors.
Conveniently DoH servers didn't exist years ago, so any that you're talking to will be new. But new servers have no reason not to implement TLS 1.3, as does Chrome.

In TLS 1.3 you can choose to avoid the handshake roundtrip but then you're subject to a replay attack in which any request side effects happen again because your legitimate request was replayed. The bad guys don't get to understand the request or the answer, they just get to perform it, maybe against a different node of a distributed system or in a different timeframe. Conveniently DNS lookups are side effect free so this doesn't matter.

So that really cuts down on the potential additional latency compared to even an HTTP GET.
It could just be my perception, and is definitely a generalisation if not, but the US seems to dislike changing old things. Old rules and institutions etc.
>in Egypt, the Great Pyramid was once covered with gleaming white limestone, but this was removed and used to build mosques

This is a very misleading distortion of history. The limestone casing on the Great Pyramid was destroyed in an earthquake in 1308 CE. The limestone rubble was pulled from the base of the pyramid and repurposed for building though much of it was also burned in kilns for lime like the marble of many ancient buildings and temples from the ancient world all around the Mediterranean by people of many and various religions and nationalities.

>When the Arab armies conquered North Africa, it was one of the richest and most developed areas in the Mediterranean. After the Arab conquest, it became a backwater and never achieved the prominence it had before.

If you can’t remove elements, you can’t refine design incrementally.
that's a good jobs domain. nice grab.
It doesn't just open the door, it absolutely requires it.
And the limitations too. If something (for example, unsigned numbers) is not provided by the JVM because it was declared useless for Java, most languages running over the JVM won't implement it either (and otherwise it would often mean resorting to a layer of more or less dirty and slow workarounds to circumvent the limitation).
Spotify runs intentionally annoying and frequent ads for itself, saying they'll go away if you pay them. I pay, it's very cheap for how much I use it.

How would Emacs with a typed programming language work with function redefinition?

One of the benefits of the environment is I can change code very easily and see the changes quickly. But with types I'm not sure how you'd change the signature of a function and get it to recompile if it's already used elsewhere.
Most people who deploy never see combat, but "undeployed" is likely to correlate with some personal problems (lack of discipline/skills/intelligence/etc.) that will make post-military life difficult.

From your question, I guess maybe you have the impression that "deployment" means "regular combat', or even "any combat". Maybe things will make more sense if you think about this as a comparison between "people who mostly stayed on base overseas/at sea" vs. "people who mostly stayed on base state-side". Most of the military is non-combat, and only a small percentage of even combat arms every see combat. (Also, the military is not exactly safe even when you don't deploy. Even with two active wars on, there have been years since 2001 when more troops died from non-combat accidents than from combat).

It's true that "war is 10% bullets and 90% logistics", but it's also true that the US runs its military as a sort of rural jobs program of last resort. So you're drawing from a highly vulnerable population to begin with, and then probably not deploying the bottom parts of that distribution. Guess which part of the distribution is also most likely to struggle finding work or getting through school post-deployment.

The mundane everyday reality of living in poverty in America is far more deadly than the battle fields.
In this case, this is the extend phase. So this is what they really mean about 'using Linux' and 'Microsoft <3 Linux'.
I understand what you are saying, but seriously, the best way to get an exploit like this onto an end-users phone en-masse is through a third-party sdk. If a government pressured one of the companies behind the major SDK's to include this spyware as a form of backdoor, perhaps they would be forced to oblige.
How is it too early to tell?

It is an extension of the capability of WSL, giving you that sweet convenience of the DirectX API with your existing ML project. Of course, this extension makes your project incompatible with desktop Linux once adopted.
Most people agree with Rogan that transgender women who have only recently started on female hormones should not hide that status from biologically female opponents in mixed martial arts. It isn't feminist for women's bodies to be brutalized by men's bodies.
19 Must-Have [Ruby] Gems for 2020 I use in almost every SaaS project
Like your idea! Posted my blog and looking forward to discovering new blogs.

I too miss the days of curated links on personal sites. Occasionally, I'll find a gem consisting of a simple, yet captivating personal sites with links to additional interesting information. The sites almost always appear to have been up for a decade or two, showing they came from those golden days.

If your new subreddit takes off, which I hope it does, it would be cool to start building an organized and curated list of blogs and individual posts on the wiki.
In Github's case I feel like it helps that they have Microsoft backing them up. MS is much more used to this model, I imagine they make a ton more off enterprise licensing then they do off individually sold ones.
Lots of folks would argue that's a feature that exposes a problem in the conceptualization and modeling of a domain.
Rogan makes tens of millions a year with the podcast ad revenue alone. I’ll make an educated guess his family is eating fine.

the problem is that local (to the archaeological context) museums lose a lot of potential support when the most salient artifacts connected to the history of the community they serve are held in (or more likely, outright belong to) a much more comprehensive collection in a far away city that many of their patrons will never visit.

It's a thorny problem. That local and often very impoverished communities will value their history enough to pay the costs of protecting it from being (legally or illegally) sold off in bits to the international market, is not a given. Local museums are often a cornerstone of establishing that value.
Maybe it's just the sort of questions I have, but almost every programming question I have seems to end up having at least 2-5 different answers, and the easiest to find one is wrong, or maybe not exactly wrong, but really terrible in the approach.

When I look for an answer, I do look to Google and/or stackoverflow, but then I immediately turn to figuring out how to find the "real" answer.

Also, a lot of times, Google's approach to identifying the single answer to your question means it masks any similar question, making it severely handicapped in answering anything difficult. But if it wasn't a difficult question, I wouldn't be asking!
Actually on Windows, 3 line scrolling is a configurable default in the control panel. On X/Linux, on the other hand, is where it's hard-coded to 1 line and there is no way to change it to 3 without having undesired side effects (such as scroll events being fired 3 times).
Notion has HTML as well as CSV+Md. I export once a month and it appears to work ok.

Thank you. In the meantime I also noticed the following comment from Dave Airlie on LKML [1]:

> This is a driver that connects a binary blob interface in the Windows kernel drivers to a binary blob that you run inside a Linux guest. It's a binary transport between two binary pieces. [...] I can see why it might be nice to have this upstream, but I don't forsee any other Linux distributor ever enabling it or having to ship it, it's purely a WSL2 pipe.

There's a kernel of truth there. The limestone casing was destroyed by an earthquake in 1308. The rubble was repurposed for other building projects.

If you have been following daily reported death "headlines" for MA, it doesn't line up with the state's per-day graphs; see page 9 [0]. I assume they're investigating them and going back and updating the daily totals as the graph seems to lag a few days, but it's not clear to me what methodology they are using. They have been doing this for a while.

I can understand why following the master branch can result in massive rebuilds.

Does Guix offer a branch that contains code that has been built by the CI builders? In which case, when a user grabs a package they'll be able to grab the compiled version rather than have to compile it themselves.

A fire on a Sawstop can cost you close to $400 if you destroy a dado stack and the cartridge, but the saw itself is fine.

This, however, is an exclusive deal with Spotify, so you will only be able to get it from Spotify going forward. Hence less free.
