I love my Pinebook Pro and I would buy it again, but do be advised it's still kind of an early product. Very much worth it but you'll run into annoyances that are the results of not being totally polished yet. If you aren't willing to play with it, might want to look at a cheap Chromebook instead.

That reminds me I want to try the Manjaro build out. I've heard good things. I actually really liked the ChromiumOS build but it did take some getting used to (I'm a ChromeOS n00b)

There's always something new next year. If you feel you need a new laptop buy it now. Not sure about moving to other system. Personally, I find them all ok and work with Linux, Apple and Windows machines equaly both for dev and business apps.

> It's just the solution nature came up with. It's also optimal at a population level and far less so at the organism level.

My point is that what is optimal for the organism is different than what is optimal for it's genes, and that trying to derive the biological purpose based on the "desire" of our genes is invalid (or at least, it does not imply that our purpose is to continue existing as individual organisms).

> Again: it is strictly preferable (by a very wide philosophical margin) to exist than to not exist.

Agreed, which is why I think religious pursuits are also perfectly rational. If there is some eternal, transcendent reality outside of the material world, and we have a chance of participating in that reality, it is preferable to do so.

I hold nothing against those who would wish to extend human life. My critique was just regarding what I understood to be your chain of reasoning from genetic imperative to biological purpose.

Are you using private browsing? Safari also did a search in my default search engine for me (but sketch.com was the top result on DDG). But when I turn off private browsing and type sketch it immediately sends me to skechers.com despite the fact that I wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair of their shoes and my purchase/browsing history reflects that.

Odd that private browsing would impact the autocomplete behavior in that way...

Now you're no longer talking about a money back guarantee. Come on, the idea that a credit card chargeback is a valid alternative to having a free trial is ridiculous.

> Apple doesn’t offer free trials for non-subscription purchases.

Wrong.

Non-subscription apps may offer a free time-based trial period before presenting a full unlock option by setting up a Non-Consumable IAP item at Price Tier 0 that follows the naming convention: “XX-day Trial.”
Not true. Corellium has. And if they've virtualized it on non-Apple hardware, others can, too.

That is the core of the discussion. Reread the thread.

Sony's image sensor fab business is a bit different.

First of all, there's two companies: Semiconductor and Imaging. Sony opens some of their technologies to other customers by transferring Imaging unit's patents to Semi and allows them for re-licensing. So, not everyone is using the same sensor even if they are coming out from the same fab.

Second, there's customer tailored sensor business. Sony can provide a customer a baseline to start and, customer can customize this sensor according to their needs and got it produced for themselves.

Lastly, there's strict division between customers in semiconductor side. So Sony Imaging can't access to specs and design of other customers' sensors.

How it works in real life?

- Sony A7 series use Sony's sensors with all their secrets at their disposal but, not with Nikon's and Fuji's secret sauces.

- Nikon orders customized, "Designed by Nikon" sensors to Sony Semi. Sony Imaging cannot access them (unless they buy and disassemble a Nikon Z).

- Same for Fuji. They have less rolling shutter in XT-4 for example, and it's again built by Sony, for Fuji. No, Sony Imaging can't play with them.

- Canon R5's sensor is "Designed by Canon". I'm not sure they are producing it. Sony or Tower Jazz maybe producing it. I don't know.

At the end of the day, the fab is almost one but, designs are many and diversified and, nobody can see each other's design. Like TSMC and Global Foundries.
I don't care what language or paradigm the tool is written with, Configuration Management tools are evil and should be avoided at all costs. I would literally rather maintain a crappy server and fragile software install manually and treat it as a pet, than use any CM tool at all and pretend my servers are cattle. In reality, the CM becomes the pet.

The solution to CM is to use immutable infrastructure, and versioned immutable artifacts. With these paradigms, state never drifts, so there is never a need for configuration management at all. Everything becomes stable and predictable and you no longer have to maintain a finicky pet.

But how do you bootstrap your systems, you say? The simplest way possible: make a crappy procedural program that bootstraps the very beginning of your system just enough to push versioned immutable artifacts and run arbitrary commands (essentially just "scp", "reboot", "docker pull", "exec"). With cloud-based systems, you shouldn't need to bootstrap anything at all. Build your versioned system images and containers, deploy them, destroy them, re-deploy them.

No offense meant to Aviary, I'm sure there are still legacy systems that require some CM before they can be abandoned, but I really hope people building new systems will abandon them ASAP.
Agreed. People need to stop thinking about this as a change in ISA. The important part comes when Apple starts loading their silicon with custom, specialized components aimed at improving OSX.
Most airplanes have a "too slow" warning as well, e.g. a speed at which the gear ought to be down because there isn't any other reason to be going so slow except to be landing. The speed also factors into gear retraction, e.g. you are not going fast enough to fly, so gear retraction will not be actuated even if commanded.
you can buy bitcoin KYC free on bisq.network (but there is a premium). Very low risk of loss of funds. You can even use zelle which is supported by most banks.

From there, send your coins through a samouari whirlpool https://samouraiwallet.com/whirlpool

Then send them wherever you like.

There is still some counterparty risk (what if you're buying coins from the CIA, or whatever), but it's almost minimal.

Buying coins from a Bitcoin ATM is even easier, if there's one near you.
Hi guys! This is Laura :) - everyone here is really cool and I can't believe this made the front page of HN so just wanted to drop my email here in case anyone wants to catch up on longevity stuff or other cool science discussion - ldeming.www@gmail.com. Sorry, I just really love geeking out and this seemed like a good place to find more thought buddies. Anyway, I love talking about most interesting things (physics / how computers work / all the stuff I don't know) so if you're down for it drop me a line!

(not sure how to verify but that's the email associated w all my public stuff / twitter posts so hopefully that's enough)

> .. there is a noticeable stigma in the professional community around equipment that isn't Canon

Really? I know this was sort of true a while back but Nikon has definitely caught up. In fact Nikon's D850 smoked the competition at the time and definitely has gained respect even in the Canon community.

I believe it's the video market that you might be referring to? Canon dominates this because of their AF system and Sony is now obviously established as well. Nikon and other's have usually been pretty lagging in terms of Video functionality.
I think it's the other way.
Thanks for collecting these sources. Let's keep in mind that ISPs were investing $40 billion+ per year of their own money in wired broadband networks during the 2000-2010 timeframe, and maybe $30 billion+ in the 2010-2020 timeframe. Conservatively, you're talking about well over half a trillion since 2000, and that’s excluding wireless.

> https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20131012/02124724852/decad....

This is a state-level tax-break from 1994 of about $2.1 billion. There's probably a few more like this scattered around, but I don't think there are many, because the Pennsylvania one is always the one that comes up.

> https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150126/04502529814/what-....

This is referring to the Pennsylvania subsidies, above.

> https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200127/09334443804/look-....

This is the CAF funding I'm referring to. The article also references the Pennsylvania subsidies, and the New York FiOS rollout, which didn't involve any subsidies at all.

> https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200414/07290544296/fcc-s....

This is about future subsidies.

> https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/08/isps-want-to-be-....

Also about CAF, mentions $1.5 billion per year.

Obviously, billions of dollars of government funding that’s not delivered the desired results is a problem in its own right. I’m not well versed in rural issues so I don’t really know what the problems were there. My point simply is that the government never tried to build a “nationwide network” like OP suggested, not do these failed projects add up to even a year’s worth of the investment that would be required to actually do that.
Downvotes on HN have little correlation with correctness. Idiocy reigns supreme here just like every other site.

I will restate the assumption that Best Buy's network is filtered. Of course it is. It would be absolutely idiotic to assume otherwise. Further many DNS services have typosquatting protection where if they see an uncommon domain mirroring a "legitimate" (e.g. more common) one it blocks it or forwards you.

Is this why this demo does this? Who knows. A remarkable number of people seem to not have this problem. My iPad - nope. My iPhone - nope. So what now? Clearly it is not systemic, however much a small assortment of angry trolls demand it be.
You missed this one: display_sprite(). Don't know what that is called though.

>He is only saying that the police are not totally racist, maybe only a bit

Let's not be facetious here, shall we?

He said that we don't know that racism is a major problem in police forces. In fact, we do know that; the structural racism is what many people are protesting against.

Structural racism manifests itself in the rules and protocols, in traditions and patterns in actions. To say that it is a major problem does not imply that the majority of individual policemen are racists. What it means is that the black people are disproportionately affected by the negative effects of policing, including brutality.

To say that "we don't know that" is unacceptable ignorance for a public figurehead of a reputable institution.

Because we do know that.

The US has had 122,550 COVID deaths so far and daily case numbers are spiking again:

>I think the Tech-Tech portion of a "Tech"company (i.e. SW engineers, chip designers) is probably decently good at being a meritocracy.

I don't think that's true at all. Engineers are not some sect of logical beings that don't have human emotions and foibles. I think they're just as likely to be discriminatory as anyone else.

OK sure but what good is that when my next TCP/UDP activity after a dns lookup is to actually connect to that host? The upstream ISP knows exactly where you are going right? They can store and reverse that info and do with it as they wish.

Ask HN: Amazon.com blocking VPNs. What can we do?
On 2020-06-23, DNS queries for www.amazon.com through my VPN provider started returning 10.200.0.1. The VPN provider confirmed that Amazon is intentionally blocking all of their customers.

Many people use VPNs to protect their privacy. Privacy is an important part of personal liberties. Privacy improves quality of life. Current VPN software does not make it easy to bypass the VPN for just one website. Now people will have to choose between using Amazon and protecting their privacy. Amazon is harming society.

What can we do?

1. Call and cancel your Prime membership and other subscriptions. Explain the reason for cancelling. Walmart.com is a good alternative.

2. Move off of AWS. Digital Ocean is a good alternative. What is a good alternative to AWS domain registration?
Some 10 years ago, they refurbished a PowerShot A75 of mine that my father had bought in 2004. 5 years after fabrication, they identified a couple of batches that had been produced with bad sensors, and the cameras affected died a strange death.

I had lost all warranty papers, but my local photography shop insisted that I contacted Canon. Had to leave the camera on the official service office, and a month later I had to go and pick it up. The camera was good as new, they even cleaned it up and fixed a few mechanical issues in the lens. No papers needed, it was a Canon camera, the issue was a manufacturing defect, they were practically honor bound to fix it.

That day I decided I'd keep buying Canon for a while. Two cameras later, after buying a G12 and a G16 I decided to go for an Olympus OM-D EM-10. The camera is great and I love, but it sure stings to see them leave the market.
TLS lets you name that state with the same name across threads.
But that reduces the term to be meaningless. Unless you attempt to draw a line between what is and isn't hate, you cannot address it by law or even in discourse.

If we want less of it, first we must define it. Only then can we draw a line so we can say, "Free speech stops here. Beyond this, the cost is too high (and the benefit too small)."

The courts have drawn lines in the past when it comes to speech inviting bodily harm. Weaponized speech intended only to injure is little different.
Hmm, I'm not seeing that.
Pygame Quick Summary
Can't say I've ever really thought of YAML as complex. Especially when the Ansible modules are translating things so you can just define the action you want to take, and each module is very well documented.
Question: have you ever shot and killed someone in self defense?

I have. I was in my home working late, when an intruder broke into my living room with a handgun. I heard the noise, grabbed my Remington. I told him to drop his weapon, and let me ziptie his hands. He tried shooting me, I hit him with two shells. He died within minutes.

You have no idea what it's like to be a lawful gun owner, and explain to the police why there's a dead man in your living room that you just shot. I was arrested that night and sat in jail for a week while they tried to determine if I had murdered man. Keep in mind, at the time I lived in a Castle Doctrine state, it's legal to shoot intruders in self defense.

Anyways long story short, and a few hundred thousand dollars later in court and legal fees, I was acquitted. Fortunately I had security footage of the intruder on my back porch, otherwise I might still be in jail.

Self-defense and 2A is NOT the same power as the police. Nor should it, no one should have absolute violent authority.

I just have a simple DSLR from Canon, which says it has WiFi, but the wifi experience is so poor it's not really usable.

I guess my point is that if they add a phone, it won't make phone calls without a lot of stress, so you probably won't use it.

Edit: I realize that adding a phone is a joke.
If I were a user in the music/film industry I would be worried if I depended on Apple.

Apple has shown pretty clearly they see themselves as a consumer electronics and services company above all. If all the "professional" users who rely on Logic or FC or Apple in general jumped ship, Apple wouldn't likely notice it in their bottom line (loss of mindshare not withstanding). They have no vested interest in catering to these users and have produced hardware intended for them as an afterthought. The high cost of hardware and absence of middle tier products that make sense for these users is just icing on the cake.

"Professional" users of Logic or FC have little leverage to affect the course of Apple one way or another (unlike a more focused company whose business model is catering to these groups).

On the other hand Apple pro users do have a long history of being abused by the company so they might be alright with it in the end.

Anyway, I'd be looking for an out if I were them.
Photoshop; Adobe Creative Suite. I also missed Source Tree, but that one didn’t change the kind of work I could take.

Also I think I’m waiting for apple to put a freaking touch screen and keyboard on the same product. (Touch Bar does NOT count)

Why wait for Apple? idk, let’s wait and see.
I read that as wry.
Reordering of oligos is expensive, which makes people not reproduce. Sanger sequencing is pretty expensive ($5 sure, but over 5kb on 3 different constructs becomes pricey). PCR machines also ain’t that cheap (when you’re a noob and don’t know what to buy), especially when you need to do more than 8 PCRs at a time.

In theory, works in practice, and in practice, works well in theory. Even for experienced DIYbio folks, cloning isn’t just 1,2,3.

Also, PCRs themselves aren’t very reproducible. It’s not about the overlapping sequence.

No, it is not. Unless by "we" you take to mean the chaplain in question - in which case, it is unacceptable ignorance.

Let me reiterate.

He said that we don't know that racism is a major problem in police forces. In fact, we do know that; the structural racism is what many people are protesting against.

Structural racism manifests itself in the rules and protocols, in traditions and patterns in actions. To say that it is a major problem does not imply that the majority of individual policemen are racists. What it means is that the black people are disproportionately affected by the negative effects of policing, including brutality.

To say that "we don't know that" is unacceptable ignorance for a public figurehead of a reputable institution, because it implies that MIT doesn't know that.

But MIT does. We do. You, perhaps, don't, and it does not look good, but this is a chance for you to learn.
Yes, but it's also horrible to use. I would rather set up a Puppet agent once than struggle with Ansible for an eternity.

If Rodger Waters thinks the schools are a bit heavy , there’s gotta be a problem.

Children are very impressionable and unless their parents are attentive and let on that there’s more to things in life than school's take on things (which is potentially six hours or more of institutional indoctrination), the kids have little chance.
I was a fashion photographer. I lived in a small market. To take the "next step" I would've needed to move to NYC or another big market. Also, I was getting paid a lot in my day-job to make that type of sacrifice. And it wasn't like I hated my day-job. I'm also risk adverse and not in my 20's to make that huge leap in my life. I also hustled hard and got burnt out. I stopped and started phasing out my clients.

I didn't see any downsides to using the Fuji ecosystem. I loved it. Every time I found something that might be disadvantageous in my line of work, they fixed it (eg. Capture One support). In fact, if I were to have upgraded, I would've gotten their medium format camera.

That’s what I thought I explained.

If you look at the list of items that appear below his typing, the “Top Hit” is “realtor.com” - I am saying that this is reading the typing as a search, and not as a domain. It’s a bug imo that the domain isn’t considered first.

I think it came across as if I’m saying this is correct behavior, I’m not, I’m saying it’s following the UX available, it’s not a nefarious trick to redirect to a competitor. It’s still damaging and needs to be fixed.
