one is watching all the readings together which "make sense".

If one reading is out from where it should be relative to the others (for the given load/condition) it is investigated immediately so anomalies don't usually go unnoticed.

One gets a sense.. a feeling for the whole.. like a simulation running in your own head to feel whats going on as well.

WSJ Editorial Board's take on this: https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-plays-into-trumps-hands...

One key quote:

> On California, Twitter is right that Mr. Trump is wrong. But on voter fraud, it’s complicated. There isn’t evidence of widespread fraud in mail voting. That doesn’t mean there’s no evidence. Last year a close House election in North Carolina was thrown out because of accusations that a Republican operative illegally collected absentee ballots, including incomplete ballots that his workers allegedly filled in. Investigators then also charged him with doing similar funny business in 2016.
Twitter is not private, at least from the platform discussion point of view, anyone can see Tweets even without having an account. It's more akin to modern day digital town square.
I brush twice a day and never floss.
Twitter was crazy for Bernie, but Joe Biden won the primary anyway.

Twitter is a self-selected minority of power users. It isn’t “The place” for political discourse, it’s simply a popular online web forum. Facebook is likely at least as influential on politics as twitter is.
The article posits the "soft foods" explanation for our poor teeth, but there is another, which starts with the research of Weston A Price: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston_Price

Price studied traditional cultures and observed that, when traditional diets were followed, people had perfect teeth. When an industrialized, Western diet was followed, tooth decay resulted. His book has the evidence, and is an easy read that you can browse in a few evenings. Edit: I found the whole book free online: http://www.journeytoforever.org/farm_library/price/pricetoc....

His research has been taken up by various doctors in the "evolutionary medicine" subfield, here are some introductory lectures:

What exists as far as open source digital audio interfaces? Meaning only digital i/o — no analog.

It seems like a relatively contained problem to take multiple streams of PCM audio into a computer, locked to word clock. Then the hard, fiddly aspects of analog design can be left to high-quality outboard converters which speak MADI or whatever.

I say "contained" because I don't want to minimize the difficulty of getting such a design right, but it seems like you only have to get it right once.
Well it's the implementation that counts. Most people opposed to it presume that it will cost more, deliver worse outcomes, and increase authoritarian control in their own lives.

To be clear, I'm not in that camp, but there are rational lines of thought to oppose a state-run healthcare system.

(And also to be clear, I can't personally see how it could possibly be worse than our current system)
If Twitter had a monopoly, you might be correct.
You can run v4 and v6 side by side easily though -- they work pretty much the same way as each other, and that's the standard deployment model. From an end-user perspective, there is no difference: you go to Google, search for "facebook" or whatever and click on the first link. All of this happens over v6 in exactly the same manner as it does over v4.

As for v6 autoconf not working exactly the same as DHCPv4 does, it's not like they purposely ignored it. Remember that DHCPv4 was being standardized at about the same time IPv6 was, and it wasn't really ubiquitous until a good half a decade afterwards. The RFC for router advertisements in v4 was published two years before even DHCP was, and there were various other ways of doing autoconf. It's not reasonable to expect them to have known that DHCP would win.

Teeth problems are easy to fix (and prevent). The serious problems that come with age are with the gums. These problems become worse with implants.
People are free to reply to Tweets with sources and facts if they want to. I just don't think that should be Twitter's job.

This case is fair enough but I really do believe in the slippery slope argument.

It's also clearly not an echo chamber to talk about it here considering the number of downvotes I'm sustaining. I'm also seeing posts get upvoted before they get downvoted so it's controversial... Which is a good thing for discourse!
Haha, it's something I wrote a long time ago (around 10 years back). I wrote it in Cubase and if I recall correctly Symphobia was the primary VST used. I had way more time back then for music than I do now. If you like the piece feel free to grab it (test.mp3 in the github repo). Cheers!
Here's simple fact check. Twitter is not _the_ place where political discourse happens. You're discussing politics on HN right now.
Yeah, I don't disagree with their actions in this case -- if anything, they didn't phrase it strongly enough. ("Get the facts about voting by mail," as opposed to "Caution: this Tweet is unadulterated horseshit.")

But I also think that the more Twitter is used to disintermediate political communication, the more it starts to look like a vital public utility. It's tough to say where the line will or should be drawn. I don't envy Jack Dorsey's position, that's for sure.

As far as making a law that prohibits politicians from lying to the public, I don't see a way to write a law like that without making the situation even worse.

PageMarker is different in the sense that you are able to organise with tags and folders, not just one or the other. It also solves the problem of revisiting your bookmarks by sending you an email newsletters on the days and time you pick .

The open() API is inherited from the C way, where the world is divided between text files and binary files. So you open a file in "text" mode, and "binary" mode, "text" being the default behavior.

This is, of course, utterly BS.

All files are binary files.

Some contains sound data, some image data, some zip data, some pdf data, and some raw encoded text data.

But we don't have a "jpg" mode for open(). We do have higher API we pass file objects to in order to decode their content as jpg, which is what we should be doing to text. Text is not an exceptional case.

VSCode does a lot of work to turn those bytes into pretty words, just like VLC into videos. They are not like that in the file. It's all a representation for human consumption.

The reasoning for this confusing API is that reading text from a file is a common use, which is true. Espacially on Unix, from which C is from. But using a "mode" is the wrong abstraction to offer it.

If fact, Python 3 does it partially right. It has a io.FileIO object that just take care of opening the stuff, and a io.BufferedReader that wraps FileIO to offer practical methods to access its content.

This what what open(mode="b") returns.

If you do open(mode="t"), which is the default, it wraps the BufferedReader into a TextStream that does the decoding part transparently for you, and returns that.

There is an great explanation of this by the always excellent David Beazley: http://www.dabeaz.com/python3io_2010/MasteringIO.pdf

What it should do is offering something this:

with open('text.txt').as_text():

open() would always return BufferedReadfer, as_text() would always return TextStream.

This completly separates I/O from decoding, removing confusion in the mind of all those coders that would otherwise live by the illusionary binary/text model. It also makes the API much less error prone: you can easily see where to the file related arguments go (in open()) and where to text related arguments go (in as_text()).

You can keep the mode, but only for "read", "write" and "append", removing the weird mix with "text" and "bytes" which are really related to a different set of operations.
It's a public space because it's become the dominant platform for political debate.
What @RileyJames said is spot on. When you think about it outside of the lens of websites, it starts to become more clear. Our thesis is that apps should be able to sell natively, without any form of clickouts to external websites, which is how traditional affiliate links operate today. We believe that transactions should be able to occur natively in any environment that has an internet connection. If commerce is ever to occur in environments like games, voice, VR, etc; clickouts would likely be impractical, and a headless API would be needed to facilitate the transaction. This headless API is what we've been working on.

We essentially integrate with all of the ecom platforms (think BigCommerce, Magento, Shopify, etc) and normalize their catalog and checkout/order API's into this single headless API. Developers can then integrate with this single API, and gain access to the products in our system, which are sourced from merchants on all of those platforms. Developers can then add native checkout (no clickout) to their apps, and earn a commission (defined by the merchant) for each order they facilitate. These orders are written back directly into the merchants existing tools, where the order appears as if it had been placed on their website.

Also, I do agree that our landing page can be pretty confusing. We're serving a double-sided marketplace and are still working on finding that right language that makes sense to both sides.
I've heard that upvotes don't count if they're from people who followed a link directly to the story. And you're not supposed to solicit votes in the first place. Just say "Join the discussion on Hacker News". :)

Great article, by the way! People need to put more thought into this kind of thing.
Actually you're probably right. The world isn't rational or fair!
There's a long rant here, but it'll be pages worth of text. The short of it is that the so called leaders of the community are often accidental, untrained, uneducated, and largely unchecked. They say the right things and every one coalesces around them even if it's unsubstantiated gibberish (Terrance was the master of this and a total nut to be honest). It is very reminiscent of political dogma and zealotry (lets not pretend this is just a "dogmatic liberal" thing). Not to mention the big money they're pulling in from it now too (looking at you Bill Richards.)

There's no reason to continually trip, to take large doses, to try multiple psychedelics, etc. It's up to the individual to decide on what feels right for them. It is one of the most subjective and personal experiences you can have. Benchmarking against others is just...destructive really. No one in the community is saying that right now. It's just spiraling group think.
Can you provide an example of where Python has broken backwards compatibility recently between 3.x version? I'll admit (despite googling for 5 or so minutes) that i don't actually know if it does. It obviously breaks forward compatibility continuously all the time - new language features are landing, and they just aren't present in previous versions - but I don't know if I've ever run into people being tripped up by that.

I know some Python Libraries break backwards compatibility (Pandas being a big one) - but, for the most part, hasn't the language been backwards compatible since at least Python 3.4? (And possibly further back, for all I know).

Also, some states, like CA, are very unfriendly which regard to the extra costs required for employees in terms of benefits, wages (salary exempt) and classification of employees with the ABC test [1], so the wins that states make for employees incentivizes many employers to look elsewhere instead.

This explains why so much R&D happens in CA. Because it's too expensive to do it in this state...

The reason R&D happens in CA is because any company that wants to sell to CA is already going to be subject to CA taxation anyway, however they try to apportion their state income. If you develop R&D in another state and use that to sell to CA, you've just added an additional state to your tax compliance burden. Moreover, if you generate the R&D in say, Nevada, but the overwhelming majority of your income is CA sales, CA can (edit: changed from will) simply disregard your chosen allocation as fraudulent.

I did the R&D tax credit this last year and it seems to me the savings for offshoring would drastically make up for the loss in R&D tax credits in most cases.

This was true...before GILTI and BEAT were passed in the TCJA in 2017. It's no longer true. And as a downside, you must also contend with transfer pricing requiring your offshored entity to show a profit, and thus pay foreign taxes which likely would not be recoverable in the US under the GILTI regime.
A simple strategy is to include only the pyc or pyo files inside a zip file, and it will continue to work as well..

They practically do have a democrat on each show. Times have changed, and Fox News is not at all what it once was. They even hired Donna Brazile, famous for slipping CNN debate questions to Hilary Clinton in advance and then being given the job of running the Democratic National Committee.
Implants are a lot like that. The remaining hurdle is that gums actually bond to the enamel of natural teeth, which wards off gum disease somewhat. Gums don't bond to current prosthetics, so good cleaning is allegedly even more imperative as bacteria can get in between the gum & prosthetic.

Hopefully not impossible to fix- osseointegration, for example, works- but currently unsolved.

Maybe one day we'll figure out how grow a fresh layer of enamel on a prosthetic in the lab, and maybe gums will happily bond to that.
Nope. My partner is one of your kind. Perfect teeth. Bloody perfect. She can do away with brushing for a month at a time if she wanted and won’t have a problem. Her dentist has told her multiple times she should model her teeth haha.

Me—and whatever I inherited on top of my B12/Iron deficiencies—I feel it if I miss a day or two. So many problems since I was young. And without proper orthodontic help in health insurance or our public health care my parents couldn’t afford much of the work I needed when I was young. Don’t get me started on outdated rural dentists and their torture methods... I mean... faulty anesthetic.

You are a lucky person indeed.
Google has previously tried to neuter uBlock Origin, and they will probably do it again. Using Firefox is a good way to remove the power Google has over the web.
Why would that cause instant censoring? It could go the other way too. Content doesn't get censored. No more games by websites like Twitter where they "accidentally" censor one political side over and over. (Or vice versa elsewhere.) The idea is that if these websites get special protections that regular people don't, and are big enough to essentially be the town square, then the values the society itself accepts are what should guide it. In this case that would be free speech.

Just to be clear, I'm not necessarily arguing for this. I'm just trying to explain how else this might work.
It would be surprising, but not irrational if courts construe Twitter as a quasi-public forum. Or, on the other hand, if Twitter continues to exercise viewpoint discrimination, it would be reasonable for them to be construed as a publisher and accept the liability that comes along with it.
Can you provide any recommendations or links?
If the "goodwill" is the result of calculated manipulation, which is what even you seem to believe, then I would hope that invalidates it thoroughly.

As to the reason for the change I think we're saying the same thing. If they could have snuffed out Linux, they would have. Their ongoing antitrust problems helped prevent that, allowing the Linux ecosystem to flourish. They have since been unable to abuse the power that they no longer have.

Again, time will tell if you're right thinking that Microsoft is merely just as awful as other large companies. But reasonable people can assume that it will be just as bad as before if they regain their power.
Jeremy Howard developed the fastai library using Jupyter Notebooks and his nbdev tool[1]. I'm not saying that to disagree with your claim - I don't have enough experience with Jupyter Notebooks yet to have much of a strong opinion on whether or not it discourages modularity. Just that folks who want to have the best of both worlds might be interested in how it can be done. My first thought is that it looks like Donald Knuth's literate programming ideas put to practice, and it has me excited about programming again.

When my Twitter account was suspended recently after 12 years, I also lost access to my DM history, including usernames which I had not memorized.

For some of my friends, Twitter was the only contact information I had for them. I have now totally lost the ability to communicate with those friends in the midst of a global emergency, even if I make a new account (which itself would be subject to immediate termination at any time), because I don’t know their usernames.

A few of the closest ones fortunately noticed my absence without prompting, went to my profile, saw it suspended, went to my website (I presume it helped that my username, @sneakdotberlin, describes my website address), and emailed me. As for the busier or less attentive friends? No word yet. :(

You can’t export your data or do “data takeout” from a suspended account, sadly, and you can’t view your DM history either inbound or outbound.

EDIT: Also, I do need Twitter (and a high follower count) to meaningfully interact with my bank or my airline’s (or Google’s) customer service department. The 1-800-i’m-a-schnook line doesn’t seem to get things done.

iOS simulator can leverage the host's macOS libraries and kernel. Android doesn't share anything at all with Windows or macOS, and shares only the kernel at best with Linux. The best you can hope for is running Android in a container on a host Linux system, or via WSL. Unless you can get containers running natively on macOS, or run a Linux kernel a la WSL, there will need to be a layer of emulation to run Android.

Why are you treating this as a financial problem?
I don't agree with the executive order at all, but the person you responded to doesn't have the situation backwards.

People (such as yourself, and myself as it happens) will claim that this order violates the first amendment. However the Supreme Court has explicitly allowed such actions under very specific circumstances. One such circumstance was called out above.

So the question is: would the actions in this case constitute a step to prevent a private interest (ie Twitter) from restricting communication via control of a physical pathway?
Given the concentration of user-generated content on these platforms' market regulation is needed. Twitter/Facebook have a monopoly by virtue of the "moat". Once someone generates their own content it's only accessible through one platform - that is a monopoly. This market needs innovation and competition. Don't break them up just force them to compete by removing the moat.
That's fine, as long as the R&D work is done in the US.

R&D doesn't require something to be socially innovative; it's evaluated at a per-company level. It's intended to incentivize companies to recreate wheels in-house (if it is otherwise financially reasonable to do so).
To some degree that is definitely true. But in the other hand there usually should be communication and tools such as git that record and communicate effort which would make a lack of accomplishment pretty obvious.
A parent of a youngin' also, I am realizing there is balance needed. Technological prowess is part of the balance... we have orthodontic abilities to correct our teeth when tough food is lacking... and rub teeth with fluoride twice a day to help offset enamel breakdown.
What specifically do you think should change and what problem would it solve?

> change the semantics of their code in a fundamental way

What is this semantic change you are talking about? Threads run what you give them, they don't change the semantics. Synchronization primitives are already in languages. Using the synchronization primitives to get something fast yet simple to use is the tricky part, and that is something that can be done with simple pieces and relatively small data structures.
