Bell, Telus to use Nokia and Ericsson, not Huawei, in building their 5G networks
He has a fairly long history of ignoring or denying tradition, social norms, presidential norms, factual information and even law. Lots of references to these sort of behaviors throughout his political career, presidency, and business ethics spanning many years.

It doesn't seem too far fetched to extrapolate those behaviors to future events. Obviously, no one can predict the future with certainty of fact, but such an action certainly wouldn't be out of the norm of his past behaviors.
Whoa! That’s cool.

Another one (somewhat more obvious) is that the southernmost point in the USA is on the Big Island of Hawaii.
> These groups have no intentional aim to enforce or protect any but their most dominant pressure groups.

That is a pessimistic view of human society, but valid. That said, you can say the same of any arbitrary organization, from a startup to a major corporation to a healthcare system. A critique of labor unions is incomplete unless you can prove that they are inherently predisposed to the tyranny you suggest. Otherwise it is just a philosophical opinion as valid as any other, an interesting abstract notion about the nature of power, but not really useful in a discussion about policy.

> Diffuse power strengthens the weak. Concentrated power oppresses.

One should also take care to remember that the market itself is not a state of nature, but a place where many entities of concentrated power already dominate, and that power is far less diffuse than one may think- and in the cases such as US v. Adobe Systems Inc., et al., these corporations are not above collaborating to dominate the weak!
Check out https://mybinder.org -- if your code is in Jupyter notebooks in a GitHub repo, it'll build a Docker container with whatever dependencies you specify, spin up an instance on some cloud somewhere, and run the notebooks in your browser.

Edit: they do have heavy limits for the version they host, but the platform is open-source, so institutions can set up mybinder instances for their own users.
Yeah, at least 5. I've seen >50 videos of rioters destroying and looting, maybe 5 of them engaging in violence, and maybe 10 of police engaging in excessive force, so I feel pretty comfortable having established that there's a pattern in those activities.

I'd like to see about 4-5 of such videos. The more the merrier. I'm totally open to changing my mind.
Is this actually transferring over LAN? So you could share a very large file on a slow connection?
And if you haven't seen many clear examples of opportunistic looting and people clearly thrill-seeking, you're living in a bubble:

Thank you so much for sharing that article! When I posted this I was really hoping someone might be able to point to a parallel. Steve Fletcher from the OP is my councilmember so I'll pass this on to make sure Camden is looked at.
Had to smile when I read the epilogue:

> Sometime after Windows 95 shipped and became a smash hit, a group of prominent game developers visited Microsoft as guests of the DirectX team. At some point, they learned of “this guy” on the Windows 95 team who worked so hard at getting all their games to work that he “officially went insane.” Thus intrigued, they asked to be introduced to this insane guy, and they presented me with a letter, signed by all of them, with the message, “Thanks for going insane.”

> I still have that letter.
I do absolutely agree with you regarding the game that sell expandable resources. Where you can earn coins in game normally but also purchase currency which progresses the game ever so further.

So many F2P games on mobile devices are like that and its crap.
The char limit on titles in HN doesn't let you post the original title, how would you fix such a thing given this limitation?
https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/st...
I agree that the original claimant has the burden of proof. But this isn't high school debate. The people reading your posts aren't debate judges (for the most part), they're just people. They aren't (for the most part) going to apply strict debate judging rules to the exchange. And if all you say is "is not!", to people reading the exchange, you look like you have no evidence and therefore have fallen back to arguing like a five-year-old. It's not a convincing look, even if you're right, and even if the other side actually has the burden of proof.

Oddly enough, I'd trust the experience of an engineer over that of a professor basically every time.
The term "framebuffer" is a bit overloaded here. In this case it means basically "monitor scan out buffer" and is therefore a very special, particular thing. In most other contexts 'framebuffer' usually just means your color output buffer, which is just a buffer of some kind, sitting in some RAM somewhere, with otherwise no special meaning.

When you setup a swap chain for GUI rendering, for example, you're just doing a glorified malloc call. It's not coupled to a hardware port. It's not really even all that special. And then like any other color buffer, you can use that color buffer in other ways, writing it to yet other color buffers.

All that said the display output pipeline itself still is more sophisticated than this. Not necessarily by all that much, but it is. Particularly in that there's not necessarily "one" buffer that drives the monitor. There's this idea that composition can happen "on the fly" during scan-out by dedicated hardware, which are done via multiple planes. How many planes can be used then depends on the hardware, but for example most Android phones have 4-8 hardware planes. Desktop hardware tends to have fewer such overlay planes (the power efficiency gains don't tend to matter much when you have infinite power), but modern Intel integrated GPUs I believe have 3 planes. This is particularly useful as one of those planes is for video. This means that when you're watching a video, if things are working properly, then the GPU can be basically powered off entirely.
Nice find. The Axis of Evil is particularly interesting.

> "ShareDrop allows you to send files to other devices in the same local network (i.e. devices with the same public IP address)"

That's an interesting definition of "same local network". So, this doesn't work for networks not behind NAT? Or for IPv6?
Friend if you think it is "just several years" then you have got it wrong. These degrees of corruption take time to build up, maybe even decades.

It is just like the Republic. Does Palpadine magically corrupt it in just years? No the Republic has been corrupted long before. It is a systemic corruption and such thing takes a long time to happen.
I always liked writing VMs

But we have to agree that JVM feels like steam engine running in the age of electric motors. With virtualisation available cheaply in every level (hardware, arch, OS and docker) virtualisation at runtime feels like overhead.

JVM was originally created for purpose of 'write once, run anywhere', which I think can be addressed in alternative ways, look at golang
You see the glass half full, I see the glass half empty.
I would encourage you to read up on the technology behind it. It was intended to be anonymous to such an extend that some governments went out and said they wouldn't use it because of the lack of tracking. The methodology has also been laid out quite extensively, and it's an opt-in approach.

To me, the most attractive thing about this device is that it's fanless and relatively cool. My 'on the go' device is a 2012 XPS 13 which gets very hot and is uncomfortable to use as a 'laptop' on bare skin.

That's the real progress we've made, the power efficiency of mobile devices.
I know slightly less than nothing about this topic, but I remember reading this from a while back:

"Notes for reversers
Electron holes have more effective mass, and therefore less mobility. P-type regions are thus made bigger than N-type regions to compensate. The size disparity often differentiates P-type and N-type silicon."

"The side"? What are the sides here?
The italic and bold of Times New Roman are adapted from standard newspaper fonts of the era and have no relation to the Roman which has its roots in Plantin. The whole development of TNR was a bit of a boondoggle and the face was received coolly by The Times when it was finally available for their use.

A big part of the ubiquity of TNR is the fact that Monotype created a large number of extensions to the type family for specialized uses such as mathematics and non-Latin typesetting.
no, you're trying to stretch concepts past the breaking point to fit a desired narrative.

the judiciary isn't a parallel lawmaking body. the legislation has corrective oversight of judiciary interpretation (outside of consitutional issues). that the legislature only exercises their oversight selectively inconsistent to your wishes is not a judicial issue.

also, "judicial activism" is a loaded term. the judiciary is doing exactly and only what it's tasked to do--interpret law against the backdrop of the constitition; it's not a bug if you disagree with its decisions.

> The entire "checks and balances" system breaks down when a handful of Republicans in the Senate are complicit in everything that is going on.

The thread is very unclear about what the gotcha is. Apparently curl "works". Which tools or options don't work?
> Mere Monte Carlo state exploration is wasteful and doesn't provide much insight. Often we don't have error bars on model outputs to even know if an "improvement" in a metric is significant.

The funny thing is, I didn't check the author's name until just now. Ed Dougherty, who people below have derided as a "mere engineer", has been working on these problems forever. I'm honestly surprised he's still active or even alive: he was a graybeard when I heard his talk a decade ago. He is a bona fide systems biologist, one of the oldest ones.

At that time, his group was doing gene regulatory network inference on gene expression with ~600 genes. They were using the kind of approach (MC) you mention to infer a small subset of the overall network.

The main thing I took away from their results (at the time) is you can get multiple drastically different network topologies all with similar metrics on the objective function. This implies GRN inference was not inferring some kind of underlying reality. It also suggests you cannot accurately infer subnetworks, which in turn suggests cellular networks aren't all that modular.

Therefore, really a distinction should be drawn between models that are simply predictive and those that also model the underlying reality, which is even harder.

> We rely a lot on complex computer simulations, or complex physics-based models...we want to learn from these models, and we want to reach conclusions from them.

Not in molecular biology. There genuinely are no models like that except in very limited subfields like protein folding, and 99% of biologists would see them as mathematical mumbo-jumbo.

I see from your bio you're also in engineering research. You would not believe it if I told you how mathematically illiterate the average PhD biologist is. My PhD alma mater added a statistics course for the first time last year, a 2 week summer course. Calculus I is "recommended" for admission. This is not unusual.

It isn't seen as needed, because state of the art research is basically all qualitative, with a quantitative veneer of t-tests overlaid on top. So I'm glad to hear other fields at least recognize the problem. Biology hasn't even got that far.

Just try to make sure you've found the real website and not one of Grubhub's autogenerated fake sites. They all look pretty similar so you'll be able to identify them after you've seen a few, but it's easy to mistakenly think you're at the real site the first time.

Plantin was released about 15 years before Bembo.

From your link to Shiplev’s talk comes this definition of ‘nasal demons’:

In there is a link to the thread that originated the term from 1992:

If you scroll to the bottom you’ll find possibly the most lost soul on the Internet reviving the most dead thread ever.
Honestly I never saw the appeal in this.

I call it the Disney princess effect - most of them are rich enough to not work, but they end up lost and drafted into things that are bigger than themselves. They end up working harder than anyone.

Maybe a rich person is someone who has enough that their priority is not personal wealth.

Also under that definition, developing nations are richer than developed nations, as developed nations have earlier retirement ages, shorter working hours, less debt, and more financial security.

These seem to be solving fundamentally different problems. Where do you see the overlap that might be able to be moved out of the jvm?
An Attack? Pointing out the truth is an attack and flame bait? I see - only the hive mind is allowed.
Plantin is in no way a variation of Bembo. It's based on the designs of Robert Granjon and is the stated starting point for the roman (but not italic or bold) of TNR. Bembo, on the other hand is based on the designs of Aldus Manutius and has a distinctly different character (so to speak).
Yelp tends to be yet another scam in the same vein. It's fair to leave them out.

And even though your points are right, I am not sure those providers should charge as much. It's killing the golden goose in the long term, especially now.

Pretty much the same realization I came across too. I used to love taking down notes for the sake of notes... now I don't. Likewise pictures too, my idea was to capture everything

Notes for me now is just a temporarily placeholder to help process a lot of information in one go.

I don't ever store notes long terms until I find myself reaching for it the 2nd time

Ask HN: What distinguishes a computer programmer from a software engineer?
I mean it’s certainly possible, have definitely floated that idea around before whilst talking politics with friends over beers.

It’s just seems to me the problem many have when this type of conversation emerges isn’t with the behavior, it’s the actor and that doesn’t quite square with me.

“Don’t hate the player, hate the game”. If gerrymandering is a “threat to democracy”[0], seems to me we should be critiquing anyone who plays that game instead of waiting for our team’s turn to ratfuck the country the country by the same measure. That signals either the rules were a problem to begin with and we should have changed them long ago, or we kept them in place knowing they were being taken advantage of and just waiting for our team to get the ball back-does it not?

But that’s just merely one example, it’s not representative of the totality of Capitol Hill politicking. Arguably one party is focused and pushing a message of progress and righting social ills but I’m not going to let them off when they play stupid games either, nor should anyone IMO.

I don't remember if it was compiled BASIC or if you could actually freeze the game and print the listing. I do remember that it was mostly BASIC as I mentioned though, meaning that it resorted to ML routines when needed.

Just found out that it wasn't even compiled BASIC: https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Pirates!#Miscellaneous

It is debatable if using PEEKs and POKEs for audio and video functions changes the fact that it is actually BASIC. You are only imitating LDA and STA opcodes, the rest is still BASIC.

My reference was to people casually tossing around the word for "people on the right they dislike", when it wasn't really warranted.

I'm not good at predicting much of anything, but best guess is that the model is something more like Venezuela/Hungary/Turkey/Russia rather than the variety from the 1930ies.
When I first became interested in type, monitors typically had a resolution in the neighborhood of 72–96ppi. My MBP, according to Apple's support site, has a resolution of 226ppi. Back in the 80s I had speculated that 300ppi was a minimum for good typography, but maybe it's my aging eyesight, but I find that what I've got on my laptop is more than sufficient to use most typefaces (and the fact that there's no pixel spread likely helps with the slight lack of resolution), although more subtle designs, like Optima really want a resolution of at least 1200ppi.
It's strange that they have to ask for those details. I wonder what software they use and why it doesn't look up the customer record based on caller ID, as soon as the phone starts ringing.
Although technically true for the US, many states such as California meet most tenets of direct democracy including citizen initiated legislation and constitutional amendments. It's a big deal when you take into consideration the limits placed on the federal government by the 10th amendment.
