The great thing about not defining it in law is that anyone is free to use their own definition when deciding who they support, who they give money and patronage to, and who they host the content of.
The right to say what you will is absolute, and protected from the federal government by the first amendment.

The Chronicle had an article citing the same statistics (but with a little more investigation): https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/SF-tenants-brea...
a ton of people I know who live in metro cities (sf, nyc, chicago, etc) used rideshare daily for commute, it's slightly more expensive than public transit and many employers either pay for or subsidize for it.
The thing with x86_64 is that Apple/Amazon/Google/Samsung/Fujitsu/etc cannot license it. There are only two corporations with x86 licenses granted by Intel: AMD and VIA. These licenses are not transferable, and a even a badly managed acquisition could result in the license being revoked.

So moving out of the x86/x86_64 world is really a no-brainer: why would all the electronic giants keep paying for x86 when they can get out of the de-facto duopoly? It seems that they are settling on ARM (Amazon Graviton, Fujitsu A64FX, Apple A12Z, etc.). It could have been another architecture, but it couldn't be x86_64.

On the other hand, there are other architectures besides ARM and x86: RISC-V, OpenSPARC, etc. Maybe one of these would be better for developers who don't want to deal with the ARM landscape fragmentation.
That said, I still regret not realizing how useful matlab would have been in undergrad, for avoiding wasting time on answers that looked wrong but were not actually meant to cancel out perfectly. Or helping me track down a stray sign change. But this was over twenty years ago, and I’m sure I could find good enough alternatives today.

Course, I’d still probably ignore them as well if I was an undergrad today, because I’m stubborn and prefer to suffer in weird ways...

I hope things like this mean Stripe will bring back Bitcoin support. I understand why they muted it at the time but it seems like high time to have their level of engineering backing something like that out in the wild.

I'd love to have BTC options available. Does anybody know of any similar APIs for doing BTC payments (or accepting cards and having the funds auto-converted to BTC)?

On top of that, I'm totally mystified by what would cause this sudden change of heart from Comcast. Why do they want to provide this "service" to users, if they supposedly don't get anything out of it? If they're not profiting off the data, why not just let Firefox users connect to Cloudflare for DNS, as they're already doing to access 50% of the popular sites out there?

Why fight Mozilla to let them provide a service which is only going to cost them money to run?

I think the emphasis here ought to be on "perceived".

I never said it was unsensorable. Try other arguments.

The uncensorable is a spectrum so it is censorship resistant under certain premises. No technology is uncensorable with enough resources but Bitcoin is more uncensorable that the global banking system.
I understand what is happening, and what they want. I don't understand why they want it, other than they've done market research to show such a stance could lead to increased sales or brand marketing. I mean, this protest alone has already brought them tremendous free press/advertising. They've crunched the numbers.

Also...they are calling on the company to police speech. So how can you say they are "hardly policing speech" when they are literally calling for another company to do that? They can do whatever they want with their money, but to pretend they aren't advocating the policing of speech on a platform is just nonsense.
The parent isn't, but considering the full range of options is still a useful discussion to have, which is why I added my comment. It all comes down to money. The twitter thread prophesied losing all of your best talent in a half office / half remote setup. Your best, most skilled talent sticks around first and foremost for their premium compensation, above all other factors.

I think a large part of the problem is the ambiguity and subjectivity of what upvote/downvote is supposed to represent. Upvoting can signify intent to promote visibility (intended meaning on HN, I think), agreement with opinions, amusement, compassion, relevance.

Oftentimes these are in conflict. Do I upvote a comment that IMO presents dangerous thoughts built on false assumptions and flawed reasoning, but that has a solid dismissal and spawns a great and honest conversation subthread? When we see highly voted and opinionated comments, I think we all generally believe this is because most voters agreed with the sentiment. I have no issues downvoting useless comments I disagree with, but these are tricky. There are other situations when the mixing signals become an issue.

I've been brooding on how a more multi-faceted voting system would work - how many dimensions are there, how are they presented and how do they affect thread rendering? What's the right balance and how specific should it be for different communities (think subreddits)? My hunch is that 1 (status quo) is too little and 5 too many.

The outrage in this thread doesn't make sense to me. This is how advertising works, it's a business decision based on business interests, Verizon doesn't care about any of this one way or another, they are simply taking a stance based on pressure from their customers. What so many of you flippantly dismiss as an outrage mob is a coalition of concerned citizens who believe Facebook is wrong for allowing dishonest political content to disseminate unchecked. It's fine to disagree, but just repeating "censorship" is not convincing, other values exist and compete with the human right to shit-post on social media.
Admittedly (!) exaggerated, but are you not also providing cover for criminals by doing not essential things (like playing tennis), because criminals would be catched easily if no law abiding citizen would do that kind of things, right?

Just a thought
The premise is that the advertisers are pulling out bc they are disappointed with Facebook's relative lack of policing speech
That's somewhere on the border. But really, this is more a matter of blaming the youngest generation for every problem that besets the older ones. Gen X are a bunch of nihilistic latch key kids, Millennials destroyed every industry but online retail and avocado farming, and now we can blame gen-z for breaking lease agreements while scrolling through their tik-toks. Of all the statistical screw ups in this article, getting the age range of gen-z off by a few years seems mild.
It really is amazing that Quora still exists. In the very early days it was interesting, now it just seems like Yahoo Answers 2.0.
Do you have a link for this? This is a pretty big difference in disclosure.
Yes, if there are no commits at all I know I'm stuck maintaining it.
What if they are just , “... pausing our advertising until Facebook can create an acceptable solution that makes us comfortable”? because they don't feel Facebook has acted in a manner consistent with their perceived values?
Having just done a Firefox install recently, the UX when prompted to enable DoH on first run did not set the expectation of choosing a provider.

Yeah, unless you’ve actually priced out business-class setups, the Mac Pro’s pricing seems crazy.

I’ve repeatedly found that the “Apple Tax” is at most something like $500: other companies tend to advertise configurations that I wouldn’t buy, and when I tweak them to match my requirements, their price is not notably different from a Mac
Embedded.

Almost all the compiler toolchains for embedded devices will not run under anything but some esoteric specific version of Linux or Windows.

I generally write code on Mac native (C or C++), then put it into a VM configured with all the right tools and such to build and install.

Usually that VM is a copy of the VM I use for CI/CD with gitlab.

I don't know how common that use case is, but I know everybody I know who does embedded work does it that way or something like it.
Yes; I found it via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23506663 from last week here ...
I think it will have the Gab effect. Gab advertises as a free-speech service. However, those that are already in the mainstream are generally on Twitter. Thus, the people that are on Gab are the people who got kicked off of Twitter, and and thus Gab is in general a cesspool.

The decentralized services won't be able to provide as smooth a service as the centralized ones, if for no other reason than network effects. Most people don't really care about end to end encryption. What percentage of WhatsApp users or Apple Messages users will quit the service if Facebook or Apple dropped end to end encryption. It will be pretty close to 0%. Thus what you will have is that the majority of people on the decentralized services are there because they are doing shady stuff. Thus the decentralized services will become hives of scams, dick pics, terrorists, child porn, alt right, etc. After a while, even being on one of those services will be seen as suspicious.

> Speech that leads to violence, how about starting with that?

That's already illegal in most (all?) of the US. The precedent for that is Brandenburg v. Ohio; the legal term is "imminent lawless action". (Regarding Facebook, my understanding is that they will happily remove such speech. That's what the report button is for.)

Of course that doesn't provide for censoring politically incorrect or socially unacceptable views so naturally people get bent out of shape and proceed to use terms such as "violence" and "harm" in creative new ways.
The South Pole is a particularly interesting case. Clearly the Pole itself is 90 South and the choice of longitude is arbitrary there. However, Amundsen-Scott station, which is a hundred odd metres away, happens to be at ~140 E (89.997553 S!) and due to the map projection it appears as if it's in a totally different place.

It would be interesting to see an interactive version with a free choice of meridians.

I've had even better experience with Canon: I bought a second-hand 5D in 2009, and in 2012 the shutter broke. It was well out of warranty, but Canon replaced it for free (all it cost was the postage to them I had to pay).
Title is factually correct, but is somewhat misleading - it implies ARM arch existed and then the Archimedes was designed around it (and was the first desktop to have that property);

In fact, the ARM was designed for the Acorn Archimedes, and that’s why no desktop, or server, or anything, used it before the Archimedes - ARM stands for “Acorn RISC Machine”.
A large percent of the world has little to no money. They have no real choice except to accept free with all the consequences. Not using a service like facebook may not be realistic when the percentage of a group using it gets above a useful/necessary threshold.
Same here.

I found that if I am in private browsing mode, this does not happen.
I am pretty sure you are confounding the basis of functions (harmonics) that one can use to describe an EM field, with the basis of a Hilbert space used to quantize them. You can have a mode (e.g. a plane wave) and the field of that particular mode can be quantized and you get to pick whether to use Fock states or coherent states or any other basis. In other words, "plane wave" refers to a particular mode of the field and Fock/coherent states refer to the quantum state of that particular mode. Two different plane waves are two completely different modes, e.g. two completely different Hilbert spaces, not basis vectors of a given Hilbert space.

What makes you think they are doing that? To jlgaddis's point, they are likely checking what IP address you are coming from over the public Internet. They can see who operates it, and knows that it's Comcast. Then they change the options in your browser.

Hong Kong’s Cartoonists Aren’t Giving Up on Dissent
I wish anonymous metadata and source code was open! This kind of software has potential to positively impact society but not when it cannot be freely audited and debated by the public empowered to vote for changes to it.

I suspect there is a storm brewing with proprietary government software. Social services like child endangerment checkups, child placements, etc. sentencing recommendations, as mentioned predictive policing, watchdog/oversight departments , and so much more!

These tools can empower us or enslave us and a big step toward empowerment is the open source community is to push for open source and open data for software augmented government functions!

I don't disagree with you, but is that really a world developers or even consumers want? A world where each device manufacturer creates their own chip based around arm's processor designs that's incompatible with the next device's chip despite being virtually identical?

You're right, as a corporation looking to make money off all aspects of everything, it's a no brainer. For everyone else, it's a worse situation than the processor fragmentation of the 80's and early 90's.

X86_64, amd and intel, took advantage of the situation of the time and provided a somewhat standard, though controlled by them, processor design that allowed tons of individuals and companies to flourish. Moving to yet another highly controlled set of fragmented platforms is a step back to the 80's.

Ideally, we should be moving forward towards a system that provides a universal set of instructions licensable by all, without allowing licensees to restrict their implementations.

There's a lot of problems with our current paradigm but backpedaling to an even more controlled and fragmented platform is not the solution.

I really believe open hardware is a serious issue that's only starting to be addressed, meanwhile big established players are making their moves to stop it.

Arm is a big established player, one of the biggest, they may not be as forward facing as Microsoft or Apple or google, but damn does that company have a huge influence on everything.

Widely adopted open standards for hardware that does not encourage proprietary licences on basic chip design is a definite no brainer on the way forward.

The hurdles that need to be crossed though are greater than with software. Real tangible goods that require manufacturing require tons of overhead and complexity. This challenge is something I feel is the open source idealogy's next great obstacle and overcoming it will open computing so much more than even open source software has for the world. But, only if people has a whole come together and work towards it by not accepting anything less.

It only disables search engine suggestions that's half the problem solved.

Now, let's say I have a bookmark for "abcd.com" and I have visited "abcd.com" a million times. So the moment I am done typing "ab" in address bar I get abcd.com suggestion which is good.

Now one day I visit (or mistype and hit enter) "ab"ihkskgskkfsbkgbskgbks.com. Yes, just once. Now, for days I get the suggestion "abihkskgskkfsbkgbskgbks.com" when I type "ab" even though every time I type few more letters or delete and change it "abcd.com" before hitting enter. Or maybe for weeks because I just end up going to history and delete that abihkskgskkfsbkgbskgbks.com so that it would never show up in suggestions.
What is a Revolutionary Situation? (1931)
Slashdot did a version of this or maybe still does. It’s time consuming. Also people tend to vote ideologically and down vote if they disagree even if you have something interesting to say.

There are a lot of topics that people passionately argue in which they are not expert and it’s disheartening. It’s News for Nerds but we can be a fickle bunch. I think the posts that are tech go better than others.

But the way Apple is doing it is an uphill battle because without much context, it's harder to offer an anonymized solution. I remain hopeful it's just a buggy implementation and that they don't give up because I really like the model from a privacy perspective.

Investment property. When I bought my residence, the down payment was 20%. These current numbers come from a check on the Zillow advertised mortgage lenders. The 40% down in the simulation tool seems to be because lenders won’t take more than 700k in debt (>1M total cost).
Well, they're also less likely to have much savings, more likely to have a service job that doesn't currently exist, and more likely to still have the option to go to stay with the folks. I would expect young folks to be much more likely to break a lease than older folks.

I do agree that generational nonsense has been pretty rich lately.

If it's fully decentralized why wouldn't the user change their selected mechanisms?

If all they have is voluntary subscriptions to others' feeds, in what manner can that be corrupted?

If they voluntarily chose to subscribe to a centralized third party as a data source or moderator how is that different from what we currently have? (And why wouldn't they just switch?)
The author left off at precisely the point I was hoping they would get across: How the wave that extends everywhere in space, obviously doesn't. I mean, I know you can make a localised 'packet' or whatever with an infinite sum of sine waves, but then wouldn't you have to talk about infinite photons moving every time 'one photon' hits a detector?
Sweet, thanks!

Part of me wonders if it would be an expensive temporary experiment instead of trying to imagine it.
It's a term from the UI design world, and it goes way back. A mode is a state where the app accepts certain inputs from you, the user. A new mode means previous buttons and shortcuts are inaccessible, and the same input may produce different results. Either coincidentally or directly related, Vim's modes illustrate the idea well—in contrast to editors where input, motion and shortcuts for extra functions are available together.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(user_interface) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window

The trouble with elaborate modes is that the user has to mentally keep track of which mode they're in (which is what the term describes); and that other functions are inaccessible even though they might be useful to resolve the situation. However, modal dialogs are a streamlined and visually distinct extreme of modes, with an established history, so some don't consider them problematic. (Modes that are difficult to notice are still a no-no.) OTOH dialogs are frequently used as cheap bail-out by programmers, especially in desktop interfaces—since they're very easy to produce, completely synchronous, and shift all problems onto the user.

In my vision, the tooling to perform moderation and filtration is independent from the data hose, so one can pick up and move to a different moderation regime when unsatisfied.
