Media, generally, catalyzes and facilitates social change, often in bad ways.

That's the central premise of Elizabeth Eisenstein's The Printing Press as an Agent of Change (1980) https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/printing-press-as-an-ag...

I've compiled a related bibliography that gets at other aspects, including social and online media.

Not the same thing in the least. I'm talking about people openly carrying guns as 'scary-looking' as assault rifles. I found the story you referred to. The difference is, the victim (at best, from the perspective of the police' defense attourney) looked to be hiding a concealable gun (not saying he was, or that the incident wasn't an atrocity): the man looked relatively defenseless. The people I'm talking about have the appearance of being able to win that same shootout, and the police can see it.
To be fair, I went long when S&P was around 2500.

My reasoning was/is that if you run a DCF on large-cap US equities, then only about 10-15% of the NPV is derived from the next eight quarters. So even if corporate profits go to zero until 2022, the underlying assets are still valuable in a post-pandemic world.

For example in 2007, we were paying $500 billion for Citigroup, and it turned out that it just wasn't worth anywhere near that. It's still 90% off its 2007 high. My sense is that even if Disney World is shut down today, in 2022 it will still be worth what Disney World was in 2019. Besides maybe Boeing, I don't see any equivalent to Citigroup or Enron in today's market.

Software can be Resilient to Recession (2008)
Source control very much did exist in 1995. Twitter was initially built on top of Ruby.

Java was very big in the Enterprise by 2005 and yes there were plenty of IDEs back in 1995. Amazon I believe was originally built on a C code base.

There are plenty of companies that have no automated unit tests and do quite well with manual testing.

But we aren’t just talking about source control and unit testing we are talking about code quality.
This is the CBRS band, and the idea behind CBRS is that people should be able to gain access to it on an ad-hoc basis by making a request for it, when it isn't being used for marine radar on the US coast.

I believe OpenAirInterface can handle TDD, although it was firmly "research grade" code last time I looked at it.

The positive from CBRS is that it should (or at least is intended to) spawn a new generation of lower cost small cell base stations, using this band, and speaking the CBRS "protocol" for spectrum access coordination. And that has potential to help reduce prices of radio equipment.

Handset compatibility is coming on this band quicker because some existing mobile operators have purchased PALs (priority access licenses) for CBRS spectrum, and intend to use this for some extra capacity.

P.S. just as a very minor technical correction, CBRS is defined for band 48, rather than 42, although with some overlap. B48 is 3550 to 3700 MHz, while B42 is 3.4 to 3.6 GHz as you said. Therefore when looking for devices, it's best to look for B48 (although at a push, if you're doing your own R&D, B42 will be fine for use in the lower 50 MHz section of the band).
It's so sad to see the BBC caught up in all this. It used be a reputable news source, the BBC World Service was just that - listened to the world over.

Now it's this.
I don't know enough about antitrust law, but it's my (possibly wrong) assumption that it is legal to use the profits from Product A to subsidize lower prices for Product B, a sort of "sell stuff to Peter in order to give Paul a discount."

I imagine it would be difficult to determine if this is happening, but it would seem logical to say that if this subsidization leads to an unfair advantage over competitors (who otherwise couldn't match the low price), it should be regulated, at least according to antitrust theory. The problem for Google is that this describes a solid chunk of their product portfolio.
I got good at English from reading lots of books, and by the time I stumbled across the website, I could confidently read any English text, looking up only some unusual words like "epitome"; so I knew that immersion is a working way to learn a language. This website had improved the way I approach language learning, and I apply the ideas from it to learn Japanese. Honestly, it's got many a good tip.
It's hard to reconcile that theory with the facts of most of the cases that make the news. For example, the police officers who killed George Floyd clearly had no reason to fear for their lives. Or what about all the black folks shot in bed in no-knock raids?

The first step everyone needs to take to resolve this problem is to stop blaming the victims of police violence.
Um yeah. I mean, I appreciate your ideals. But back down here in the real world, part of that "project plan" is the part about taking a bite off the elephant. You've got to start somewhere. Defining and tracking the progress you've made eating the elephant allows you to know when you've fully consumed it.

And remember, most (all?) software projects are not defined in a singularity. They evolve. As users use the product, the understanding of what you built changes. There is no ability to define a project of any significant size in a box the first time. We aren't pulling rabbits from a hat.
Predictions like this are made all the time, nearly all of them wrong. A few are bound to be correct(ish) by sheer chance, and when they are, people dig them up and think they've found something clairvoyant.

This prediction isn't even that accurate. 1870? The major upheaval around that time started a decade earlier. So if we're allowed to fudge the numbers by 5 or 10 years to make a pattern appear, who's to say the next upheaval isn't in 2025 or 2030? And is 3 instances of anything (1870, 1920, 1970) even enough to call a pattern?
How are vacuums, pure functions or abstract concepts state machines?

Philosophy has some pretty well fleshed out concepts around simple objects (without proper parts) and intrinsic properties as well that I think would contradict this.

Better Place was almost certainly ill-conceived from the start but it was probably the only way to make electric cars work at the time.
Don’t know if it is. But in computer science state machines are usually finite or at least discrete. Time evolution in quantum mechanics is certainly continuous, not discrete. Discrete are only some observables.

My comment was definitely off topic, but the message never gets traction when it's on its own.
If it's already a verb, confusion should come from people using "Zoom" as a noun, the use of it as a verb is the expected situation not the confusing situation.

Either way, citation needed - who has been confused?
> Lawyers were embedded on many product teams

Perhaps because the natural organizational tendency was to conspire to create user lock-in and other nefarious practices? 95% of software companies (I am guessing here) don't need to consult their lawyers during software development.

Have you kept up with our esteemed epidemiologists? They did an abrupt U-turn within a week:

“We should always evaluate the risks and benefits of efforts to control the virus,” Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, tweeted on Tuesday. “In this moment the public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus.”

> There are too many political entrepreneurs who are all trying to get power, and they get frustrated, which is how revolutions start: when members of the elite try to overturn the political order to better suit themselves.

So which elites are funding, and are ultimately behind today's violence? Unfortunately, any possible answer is a conspiracy theory.
I just found this thread and it's so great. You are an inspiration dear sir/madam. Do you still exercise?
Very good point. Would also make spotting undercover cops easier.

Finally, we'd be at the point 90ies Warez kids thought we were at. "If he wears no badge number on his back, he can't be a cop, otherwise nothing can be used in court. We're safe, boys".

What do you mean by "caught up in all this"? It shouldn't report about this happening? You don't like some wording they use?
core.async doesn't have lightweight processes, for any sane definition of these terms. A code transformation spat out by a macro, subject to all the serious drawbacks I've already mentioned, is not a lightweight process.

But looking at the number of downvotes I've received, stating the obvious no less, I think I'll stop here. I will however take the completely nonsensical, misleading and downright erroneous responses illustrated in this thread as signaling me to steer well clear of Clojure and its community.
Let's not forget that this thread started with someone claiming core.async is better than Go's goroutines.

state machine: you have a state that you can describe. you get input, you transform the state, you maybe output something. state transition can also be viewed as input.

so i believe that everything is a state machine. everything

Plus a lot more diversified. Not sure if it's all a good thing as the huge companies are making land grabs everywhere. Github, Skype, Linkedin Xbox, Nokia phones unit, VSCode, basically all my favorite medium-sized game companies (inxile, double fine, obsidian).

Hi there –

I’m Mark, founder of ListenInstead, a crowdsourced audio platform currently in beta.

Here’s what we’re trying to do:

- Allow publishers to easily record and distribute audio versions of their content (articles, reports, anything, really)

- Drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to get through your reading list

- Give publishers a new way to amplify their written content

- Democratize voice

- Strengthen human connection as AI begins to swallow the world

Would be truly grateful for feedback.

Thanks!

Which is preferable, politically “neutral” search results, or search results that prioritize truth and accuracy? I prefer the latter, which is what google provides now, but I’d be interested to hear from those who would prefer the former.

If one party says that little green aliens are going to raise ATM fees and another party doesn’t, should google be obligated to return search results supporting both perspectives?
Same, it only worked with I told uBlock to allow Google Analytics.
Such lovely nostalgia. I recall excitedly going to my friend's house - he ran a pirate BBS - and playing one of the early beta releases of Doom (likely Doom v0.3). It was nothing short of astonishing that this could run on his crappy 1992-vintage PC, which was a low-end 486 model with something like 4MB of RAM.

Moral systems based on clear and universalized principles are more intrinsically compelling than arbitrary preferences that are merely labeled "moral".

If Slack employees said they felt is was unethical to serve chocolate over vanilla ice cream, none of us would pay attention.
It would be a case of LDD (Lawsuit driven development). The engineers would need to redo a lot of the infra and products
They do, and that's what I was getting at when I used the qualifier "largely".
The answer to this question will be endlessly fascinating.

To start somewhere, everything that was an acquisition 'should' stand on its own, because it began as a complete company. Of course things aren't that simple.
Honestly? No, there really isn't, at least not the way we think of policing today. The threat of state-sanctioned violence as a means of keeping the peace leads inevitably to people who will use that violence for their own means. Community policing and restorative justice are more effective in 95% of cases. More cops just leads to more intergenerational trauma, not less.
That's 4chan
Oh yes Photos Tensorflow Spanner ...not even remotely interesting. Waymo. I'll wait for you to cherry pick another time frame. 99% of people here would work at Google in a heart beat but love to write snarky comments here. Many admittedly jealous of the fact that they couldn't get in. Have fun peddling the hate.
The industry as a whole has grown enormously. Microsoft is as big as it was, but relatively speaking it's not even remotely as strong. Microsoft used to have the power of FAANG together, it was so ahead of everyone else in terms of (pricing) power. Nobody was a threat to them before the antitrust suit.
AFAIK they are treated as discrete, ie you cannot break it down more. that may change, but they are viewed as discrete
The point is that you are not achieving much.

You need both parties to know the nonce and the salt for this to work, so you’ll need to send it over. At this point what value are you gaining over just sending the password?
These fields aren't required for a good ticket system to work. They might be useful in terms of post-mortems, generating changelogs, etc. But fundamentally, the "version" that a issue was resolved in is not a requirement of the ticket tracking system. Some continuously deployed software doesn't really ever have a version number at all.
So the "Samson Option".
I suspect I might have some sleep disturbance. It's really hard for me to sleep on my back, I wake up constantly and snoor so I just sleep on my stomach instead.
Finally, I've found my purpose.
It's purely semantics, but I think in this case it would be the "Quebecois" government. A side note, does anybody know what the name for that form of a country/culture/language is? ex: French for France or Italian for Italy.

They don't outline how they removed culture from the study.

Maybe this applies only to people in Ohio? Or maybe those nice canadians next door?
Direct link to Github: https://github.com/apple/password-manager-resources

Seems like a good idea, instead of every password manager trying to re-implement the same kind of edge cases. One day I hope we can just "muss change" password because sites follow a common theme like https://wicg.github.io/change-password-url/index.html - but maybe we have a better strategy than passwords until then.
Same happened to me. I felt pressured into sleeping and as a result, I could not sleep.
It's very clearly anti-Trump (I live in the UK).
As for the article, there's this part:

"The president was criticised for ordering authorities to forcibly remove peaceful protesters from a square outside the White House so he could cross the street to take a photo in front of a church."

Wasn't it the AG that ordered the protesters to be moved?

Either way, who cares. This is HN, not reddit (although sometimes I wonder)
I’m not in a position to do a sleep study. But I’d like to self-monitor my sleep and oxygen levels. Do you know of any DIY projects in that area? In the future fitbits and Apple watches should automatically include sleep / oxygen quality. It’ll take getting past the FDA, but for the low cost of having that info bs the benefits society would gain... well DIy seems like a good way to trail blaze.
ANTIFA broke into my house, peed on all of my pants, and now they're dead.

ANTIFA made me eat too much and now I'm bloated and gassy.

ANTIFA directed the last season of Game of Thrones.

ANTIFA moved my coffee table and I stubbed my toe on it last night.

ANTIFA must be stopped. If they start killing people they might eventually, one day, end up being 1% as dangerous as the people they're opposed to.
Fun fact, MSFT and AAPL currently have the exact same market cap. The story of Microsoft dying a slow death having missed the boat on internet, cloud and mobile is like 10+ years out of date. If anything, I'd say the antitrust trial was actually beneficial in the long run. It is a much nimbler company now than it used to be.
No, I disagree. The fact that people are getting more in UI than they made at their job is a feature, not a bug. First, we don't want people working in close quarters if they don't have to be. Second, It's almost a backdoor minimum wage increase, helping the neediest, who also happen to have the highest marginal propensity to consume. This has kept the economy actually relatively propped up. It's basically what people in 2008-2012 were screaming for, but never happened and it caused a dragged out recovery.

Want to recover an economy? Literally just give people who don't have any money some money. It's that simple. And in a few years when everything settles down and there's been formal studies, I think expanded UI will prove it.
Most of these projects are waaaaaaay to slow to reach profitability. You want product market fit ASAP. I also don't think it should be a programming project. Code is a tool, like anything else, and if you have no experience, it's tough to compete with experienced toolmakers. Instead, leverage some domain specific knowledge to be competitive.

Does your country have a robust eBay market? I've found plenty of "beer money" success selling specific things there. If you know more about something than almost anyone else, you can monetize that via eBay easily and with excellent reach.

For example, there's plenty of sellers in Russia/Eastern Europe selling vintage soviet machining/radiation equipment. In SE Asia, a million mom and pop shops moving ICs. In Japan, high quality tooling. Plenty of people all over just hawking the results of a university auction. I even buy from a guy in the US who only sells refractory ceramics. You can find incredible niche stores on eBay who are doing very well.

Where the coding comes in is automating everything. For example, code to automatically print labels for my packages. A local database to manage quantities. A (rudimentary!) pricing algorithm to maximize volume or profit; the possibilities are endless. These projects are easy to justify, and the immediate improvement is clear.
Nationalized rail was shit here come on.
Nobody has made serious money by selling browser because nobody is willing to pay for browsers. Without Chrome the web would just stagnate.

Nobody is willing to pay for mobile operating systems either. Maybe hardware manufacturers would pay to move Android forward as an open-source project but most likely outcome is a stagnant fragmented mess.
Also really enjoyed Satyajit Ray's storyboards for the Apu Trilogy. Sketchier than Kurasawa's, but thrilling nonetheless and greatly increasing the pleasure of watching or rewatching the films.

Unfortuately I can't can't seem to find them online aside from a few thumbnails. They were published in book form a few years ago; maybe that's why.
The counter-argument: it wouldn't be hard to design a system where a human remote-operator in Arizona is paid minimum wage to push a button whenever a screen in front of them turns red and says "FIRE".

You shouldn’t be less upset or angry just because you understand how the world works. Cynicism is self-defeating. Never resign yourself to this crap
Dude what? I don't think anybody uses that. I've never heard of it before. Just because somebody created a thing doesn't mean it's safe or secure or that we should all switch to it before it gets some solid testing and validation under its belt.

I don't see any plugins or libraries to add to any of the huge number of exiting authentication libraries. Has it even been subject to a hostile security audit? Has it been put in a place where it will face a serious state-sponsored attack and performed at least as well as existing systems?
In terms of geopolitics this is a good move, a superpower should have its own tech infrastructure.

It also encourages you to zone out and type without even reading what's being written, which is scarily accurate given some corporate emails I've seen.
I'm glad to hear that. It makes perfect sense that reducing the subjective "culture fit" factor reduces hiring bias.

But I would also say that as someone who has experience at the highest levels of open source organizations and who has witnessed the extraordinary extent to which entrenched parties will fight to keep structural discrimination in place: Don't underestimate people's ability to discriminate based on identity alone, without having met in person.
