I rarely hear opponents of affirmative action deny institutional racism as much as its proponents. It's proponents would rather eat their own hat than admit that systemic efforts to favor specific racism groups for employment (for the noble ends of countervailing other forms of systemic discrimination) are in themselves a form of institutional racism. This denialism has run so deep hacks in sociology have gone to the extreme of outright redefining the word racism to allow for the concept of "non-racist" racial biases in hiring. This is what I would characterize as "extreme defensiveness".

I don't actually think proponents of affirmative action are without a point I'm just tired of seeing a group of people in such deep denial of their own systemic racism seeing everybody else as the deniers and acting above it all when they're not even as non-racist as the average moderate.

Am I missing something isn't https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft and https://github.com/snapcore/snapd Free Software under the GPL3.

I had seen some discussion before about the server not being open source but I can clearly see the store api there. I'm just looking at the code now and haven't taken any time in testing it out for myself yet.

Regarding debian packages and apt as we have seen with the amount of PPAs, there really has to be some solution for that. I like the snap format I believe it's heading in the right direction. It still has some problems with desktop software but that seems to be addressed as it has progressed.

There is this strange cold war between Red Hat and Canonical and Red Had seem to have most of the NIH problems if you look at the history. I really don't think Red Hat or some of it's developers possible like relying on code from Canonical.
No, they were saying these police officers hold one. Which is unfounded.
Your mistake is thinking RedHat and Canonical are some sort of players here. The vast vast majority of Linux deployments are not from any sort of Linux distribution company.
> there are theoretical limits for each medium.

I would rather say that there will always be limits of our understanding and building equipment for usage in various mediums, even in a vacuum, we're still only probing our theoretical knowledge of null boundary interactions between photons[0].

> For example, a standard cellphone can fit an array of 72 antennas operating on the 39 GHz mmWave band. A similar 72 antenna array in the 700 MHz low-band frequency would be larger than a typical home door.

And what would it cost? In an environment where cellphone sales have been declining for at least 5 years now at least on the high end (all the games Apple has been playing with sales reporting…), which end users will be willing to bear the cost of the device now?

What is wrong with more words?

Putting your name to something like this is certainly endangering future funding, that seems like more than just "words".
Honestly, when I was in the Navy training in a security squadron, we were basically taught to deescalate, use the lowest force we could, be it hands, mace, a baton, a pistol, the machine gun, etc. We were drilled never to use deadly force unless it was very clear we were in danger, were told to shoot second, because it's better to risk ourselves than risk killing an innocent person, that our backup would ensure the security of the ship or base so we didn't need to get trigger happy. I remember, strongly, the great fear I had about accidentally hurting the wrong person whenever we had live security events and i had to unholster my pistol.

I just don't get the way police are trained, they are there to risk themselves to ensure others are safe, even the criminals. Instead, they're trained to treat them worse than i was trained to treat literal terrorists.

Some more details about that behavior are:

In Japan, employees start with a zero score, then for each mistake lose a point. So they will analyze/block anything that could potentially cause a demerit. Obviously that's the polar opposite of "move fast and break things."

Not blaming on Trump and Republicans? When the first round of peaceful BLM protests were going on, Trump went on rally after rally and called out BLM protestors thugs, conservative leaders pushed blue lives matter, Trump personally ensured that NFL root out any kneeling by players, he tied BLM protests as “against the flag”, he went after Kapernick, effectively ending is career in NFL, Pence made a whole show of attending an NFL game and leaving when players were kneeling. Trump has been the leading voice in neutralizing BLM movements, dismissing police brutality, rolling back police reforms, and creating the environment where conservatives feel empowered to dismiss any anti police grievance

Imo kubernetes isn't about "scale". Folks like cloudflare often run a very limited number of services (proxy plus control plane), which can make features like quotas/affinities/limits less useful because 100% of the machine installed in the pop is dedicated to one process.

I see kubernetes as more useful when organizationally you have more heterogeneous services and separate dev/sre groups. This allows them to divide up responsibilities more easily.
That's what bugs me so much. We'd never know if it weren't for video evidence.

Police testimony is treated with high regard in the legal system too, maybe in the age of hard video evidence that should go away.

"The police do one of the hardest jobs in the country"

You know, this is word for word what Russian 'patriots' tell me, when I ask them why 200 people were killed in Country's jails.

Blue-Light Lenses Are a Scam
Pretty sure I saw this headline 20 years ago, too...

The world has figured out how to live without IPv6. The pain of switching, along with the fact that we're (still!) finding bugs in IPv6 stacks and interoperability challenges, just isn't worth it. There needs to be some significant benefit to the public other than mere address abundance to make a large-scale transition to IPv6 happen.
It's more profound than that; as I've pointed out on HN a few times, despite what you may think, advertisers don't make that much from you. The problem with the whole "pay people to watch ads" or "share the ad profits with people" plan is that there isn't anywhere near enough money in advertising to make it worth while. We're collectively selling out our social media for an outrage factory, our entire news industry for clickbait, our privacy for everything we do online, and all the second-order effects of all that and more for on the order of $50/year. I worked out the numbers for Facebook once: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19459604#19462402

Aggregated across all of humanity it's worth it to spending millions of dollars to pick up a few more fractions of a penny per person, but if you try to "share the wealth" it just isn't nearly enough.
As far as I know, the story has never really been covered by the tech press. Closest it's come is that some of the people involved may have inspired some of the characters and plot lines in Silicon Valley. Middle-out refers to b-frames, which were heavily patented, so we avoided them. Unfortunately that causes a popping artifact every time a keyframe comes along...

I think what might really be interesting was the decision process to open-source vp3, AKA Theora, the ancestor of vp8, vp9, and AV1. Even though it was only marginally competitive with mpeg-4, the existence of a free alternative, seemingly unencumbered by the sort of patent problems afflicting MPEG, put a check on MPEG becoming a virtual monopoly.

In 2010, Google took the baton with the acquisition of on2, and doubled down on the open-source approach.
Part of the problem here is with terminology.

You don't "type a link" into an address bar. You "type an address" (a URL).

Hijacking links has a specific meaning and this isn't it (edit: this remains true no matter how much you downvote me without explaining)

I can see how Brave's practice can be considered bad/deceiving though, especially if it hadn't been disclosed.
Rubocop is a linter, so it tends to have an easier time: it only needs to process input that is already correct, though it might have style issues. It doesn't need to do anything that might change the meaning of your program. Inserting quotes will change the meaning of the program, so getting it right is much harder.
When thinking about net worth in equity you have to consider how stocks are valued. He hasn't created the value of that many neurosurgeons, but the market believes that Facebook will create that value in all future earnings adjusted for risk/inflation.
As a citizen of a former British colony, I'm glad we inherited this mindset in our constabulary, although there's always some who persist in the us/them thinking.

After the mosque massacre, the Police ran a trial where some Police patrols were always armed, it did little for community engagement with the 5-0: [1]

It really didn't help that they were mainly used for traffic stops, as opposed to responding to actual firearms incidents.

Then we had the (now former) Leader of the Opposition proposing "Raptor Squads" modelled after New South Wale's "Strike Force Raptor" (lasers sold separately), and that went down like a lead balloon.[2]

If you are discussing US natural gas reserves, PUDs are three orders of magnitude higher at over 700Tcf. Going beyond this, some estimates put unproven unconventional supplies at over 700Tcf in-place in the Anadarko basin alone. Considering we haven’t really been hell bent on hunting for gas in the last decade, the true extent of the supply may be radically larger still.

Helium is abundant; it’s prices simply haven’t ever stayed high enough to warrant wider extraction from the gas supply. The last time we did that we produced the strategic helium reserve which has basically fed our consumption for 60 years!

The engineers said it's a known outcome from high winds. It seems they made a conscious choice to decreasing the structural risk of extreme wind hitting the bridge in exchange for increasing the noise it generates
Downvoting for disagreement has always been ok on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314), and a lot of people disagree with police right now, so downvotes are probably to be expected.
This is precisely how Spinnaker behaves with Helm. It renders the template into manifests and then deploys them.

Kinda loses the benefit of Helm hooks, but if one is using Spinnaker, there are other ways to do the same thing hooks can do.
The police are expecting an extremely stressful day where they will be outnumbered by the protestors; possibly by up to an order of magnitude. There is a high risk of physical violence, there is a high risk that the police are going to be attacked politically whatever happens. There is a mood in the air of "believe no cops". Their mindset will be combative, they will be on edge.

The old man has to shoulder at least some responsibility here. It was wildly imprudent to get all in-the-face of a police in a civil-unrest situation. He shouldn't have been doing what he did.
Now that you talked about it, list what you've made. Because I call bullshit.
I see your point but this viewpoint might be veering to another extreme. The truth is probably somewhere in between, as is the case with many other matters.

I certainly spent a lot of time taking notes in org-mode but I don't regret it. Whenever I want to look something up and revise, I can find it in an instant by simply grepping my repo or by targeting a header. Goes without saying, this is particularly useful for notes related to programming. However, even for other notes (e.g. vacation plan) I still find tremendous value in org-mode's flexible and powerful approach. In addition, org-mode is also a medium for me to freely write things down and clarify my thoughts whenever I feel the urge to do so. I can even "write and forget", but the reward is already reaped when I wrote out my thoughts in the first place.

However, I have indeed moved time tracking and task management out of org-mode, after struggling with it for a couple of years and trying out various customizations. Ultimately it feels like that org-mode is not built as a suitable system for this purpose, for various reasons. Being "able" to do everything doesn't mean it does everything well, and I fell into the trap of idolizing it too much to the detriment of other viable alternatives. IMO it's a perfect note-taking system for programmers/STEM people, but task management and time tracking should not have been mixed with note taking in the first place. It feels like a bloating of product scope (were it a for-profit product, of course). Now I've switched to a dedicated software for task management + time tracking that has cross-platform support, and I feel much happier and can actually properly track my tasks, review my productivity and get things done.
Increases velocity as well.

I have a set of developers that can focus on their code and not have to worry about the infrastructure, TLS certs, DNS, storage or whatever. That all gets abstracted away.

For SRE, that gives one a common set of orchestration tooling one can develop against.

Before the helium price dive I had calculated the break over was wells with approximately 6% He concentration; the problem is the places that have this don’t have gas gathering systems and anything you try to do with the gas makes it uneconomical.
What a stupid comment, wow.
>"doesn't mean the police get to illegally attack and disperse them."

>Much of what we are seeing is not a legal expression of 1st Amendment rights at all, in which case breaking it up is not remotely illegal.

Think about what you're doing right now. You're responding to someone saying that cops shouldn't be killing people in the streets for blocking traffic. Your response isn't "cops shouldn't kill people!". It's "what they are doing is illegal".

This about this. Think about what you're doing.

Totally agree. I cannot recommend the first link posted here enough, Summoning Salt's channel. Some of the stuff that people discover about games, and then use to their advantage to shave off mere tenths of a second of a speed run is mind-blowing, and really does capture the essence of hacking. Sometimes thy literally hack the game by exploiting known memory flaws to skip sections, etc. etc.

I only made it through the abstract but it looks like they’re matching the entire given LR image to a known entire HR image.

I’m saying with enough data you could potentially create a more predictive “magic sharpening” algorithm that didn’t strive to match a known original picture, but instead used that matching on divide & conquer subtiles of the original LR image against of a rainbow table of reduced HR tiles to predict a set of plausible HR images.

Basically if you can figure out with whatever context you have that the 4x4 brown smudge is very likely a brown cat, you can replace it with a brown cat. And if you know that, the orange/white/black smudge next to it is probably a calico, so stitch it in.

Of course the source image would have to be bigger than this, so it couldn’t be CSI-enhance icon to landscape, really more like a really good AI upscaler. You’d need a strong way to identify plausible scenes too. We can generate novel faces now, think this fuses the two concepts.
In Solidworks the equivalent is ctrl-1 through ctrl-7. Random zoom outs can be caused by a misplaced part or sketch entity that’s way outside of what the user intended, which is very easy to do by accident. However I agree it’s a janky mess. Using the advanced features is indeed like resizing an image in word.
If that's what we're jumping to, an old man walking up to police, deserves to be pushed to the ground with enough force for him to almost die, then why don't they skip rubber bullets and switch to live ammo? I mean he was just standing there, menacingly right? Think about your grandpa, imagine if he was the one pushed to the ground and now in ICU and tell me again how stressful it must be to stand in full riot gear and have him approach you, alone.
Not really. It makes it sound like they know that professional misconduct happens with such frequency in their unit that they can't control themselves. It also turns the story from one of misguided support for a colleague to one of craven self interest.

Few if any professions I've ever heard of get blanket legal defense from their union or professional association to defend them against their own blanket misconduct. Soldiers for example manage without it.
An amazingly naive perspective. Dumb, even by HN standards.
Mobile apps are a hellscape. It's an example of how wrong things can go. Apps treat their privilege model as a license to abuse all their privileges as much as possible.

That’s really the kicker here. I blew two weeks running the two auctions, plus the time wasted in dealing with requesting a refund on eBay commissions because it was a fraudulent buyer.

Ultimately I sold the iPad to a coworker for $75 less than the eBay price because it was worth it to not have that hassle (and net of commissions/PayPal fees, it wasn’t that big a difference anyway).
