None of this is fact, yet it’s being portrayed as such.

If mass media images are a problem then why do these groups not join Trump saying MSM is problematic and untrustworthy?

For profit prisons are more efficient, because the government can’t run anything without substantial cost. So privatizing prisons saves costs.
For the 15th anniversary Warren Spector, Sheldon Pacotti and Chris Norden got together to replay the game.[1] Spector and Looking Glass creators also had a replay for System Shock's 25th anniversary last year. [2]

Deus Ex made me read "The Man Who Was Thursday". I was slightly disappointed that the other book "Jacob's Shadow" was made-up for the game.

The independent Covid Symptom Study app from Kings College, already on 3 million UK phones since March, took three days to write and largely would do that if it was more publicised by the government.

The NHSX app tried to do too much — trying to collect centralised data when one key function didn't need to be centralised was always going to be an issue when trying to get people to install it in large numbers.

Smaller samples are enough for population surveys, while high percentages are needed for the track and trace function. Mixing up the two into one app has doomed this project.
The fact that if Apple ever copies you, they will have a 30% margin over you (& 15% after first year) with subscriptions. Not sure if you have them listed but Spotify made a big deal of this and even hired some animators to make this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyZ5jzxsCmw

As far as I understand Apple basically said, "we do the work to maintain the app store" which is true, but Spotify sure put a lot of effort into that video. 30% IMO is too high. Discussion:

I have, but the fact the heatsink didn't event mount properly is kind of annoying... I agree, they know what they're doing, but I also wish they'd have designed better cooling.
Teardown of Singapore's physical Covid tracing token
I think 2007 is exactly the year. I’m playing Bioshock now, so much fun. But Deus Ex from 2000 is clunky.
Partly, because MSFT deliberately included a competing product in the OS for free to destroy Netscape's business, and doing this from a position of near-total control of the ENTIRE personal computing market is literally the definition of monopolistic behavior.
My impression is that construction in 2020 isn't so fundamentally different from construction in 1920 that it would need much unique language per project. The big changes seem to be in quality of material and what gets run through and around the material. Meanwhile, we barely had computers 75 years ago and the whole thing flips on its head every 5-10 years.
For me, the biggest benefit of the university structure was 1) teaching me things I didn't even know existed and 2) teaching me things I didn't think we're important (but turned out to be).

(1) might be solvable with an online curriculum, but (2) requires an evaluation or end-game credential to force me to do it.

Other than that, as you mentioned an even bigger benefit was social, the shared experiences with others, and the cross pollination of ideas from these other people
From what I understand it's the CPU power management/frequency profile that is limiting it. Even when satisfying the thermal requirements they were still getting sub-par performance because presumably the CPU was being limited in software anyway.

A combination of good cooling + a tweaked power management profile to accommodate the better thermals should give a substantial performance increase.

In my experience, processed food of all sorts appears utterly weird and unappealing in this state.

On the other hand, fresh fruit is usually marvellous.
The expectation of feeling welcomed is part of the problem. Is stack overflow an information sharing community or a social community? Is it wikipedia for programmers or reddit?

The fact that most people don't comment at all indicates that most people want it to be a wikipedia for programmers. Some people want it to be a social community.
> So it may well be more expeditious to start over. There are many other models, and if nothing else, whatever success those models have will provide more capacity. That may also draw away students and force them to lower prices.

Don't you think the process of starting over is already underway? We've ha alternate training and evaluation methods (certifications, MOOCs, and vocational schools) for a long time. What do you mean by "start over" in this context?
Nope, looking forward to remake of original Deus Ex.
Based on history, why would they care? Cameras or no, it appears that there are almost no consequences for their breaking of the law. Generally worst case scenario is that the residents of the city they work in pay a large fine to the victims. QI means the cops suffer no harm. Most of the time the department and prosecution conspires to ensure the video and crime never sees the light of day.

And if they do end up going to court:
" the court held that California police who stand accused of stealing $225,000 cannot be sued because they never were told specifically that stealing money from people’s homes violates the Constitution"

If by tested you mean, getting eaten alive by vulnerability reports monthly and furthering degrading performance, sure.
There isn't much rocket science otherwise to "better tested" in a server platform. Either it passes benchmarks of use case scenarios or it doesn't.
It seems some basic NLP could detect a "thanks" comment and ask the user to vote. Or do they already do this?
I'm not speaking authoritatively on anything. I followed the link you provided to learn about the subject, and it led me only to Infowars.

[OK, you found an original scan, thanks.] That new link is still broken. Where is the report? Don't give me partisan think tanks or your personal experience on the Paul campaign, give me a source.

OK, now can we take this seriously? What's the language in that report that says that the center was associating Ron Paul support with domestic terrorism or whatever? All I see is that it says militia membership correlates with right wing violence (seems reasonable). I STILL can't find anything significant about Ron Paul. It's certainly not a major point. Please point me to it.
If I needed inspiration for a new online educational program I’d look to video games to see what’s going on.

Take Rocket League for example. This is a game that’s incredibly simple to get started: you drive a car and hit a ball. But to master advanced techniques, like dribbling in the air as a literal rocket, it takes hundreds to thousands of hours of practice.

To practice in a consequence-free environment there are standard and community-created training packs. To gain skills relative to your peers there’s a matching engine to create “fair online games”. To compete openly, there are ranked matches with precise criteria for getting into and falling out of a rank.

Furthermore, the community is incredibly supportive of questions, show-and-tell streams, and is light-hearted enough to create their own memes. There are even tutors who will review your games play-by-play with you to fix your game sense.

There’s so much good stuff here to pick apart on how to build good programs that are safe, inspiring, and lead to real skill progress for the participants. The university does a lot of it naturally but from what I’ve seen from Rocket League, you should be able to push a lot of those benefits into online formats.
Exactly. "Death & taxes" both being certain is not a passing coincidence. What is the relationship of poverty to death rate? Oh, wait, so poverty kills more people than sugar? Who knew.
One of the benefits of a college setting would be the gathering together of young intelligent people and exposing them not only to new ideas but how to evaluate, value, and compare ideas for their relative worth. I wonder how much open and free debate of ideas even exists anymore, having given way to the inculcation and indoctrination of "correct ideas." I have long believed that the best way to eradicate racism is to allow racists and anti-racists to have open Lincoln-Douglas style debates on college campuses: allow racists to explain their ideas and positions and the tenability of their position will be exposed for the naked fear and hatred that it is. While not quite as crucial as the previous idea, debates of ideas, languages, operating systems, etc can and should happen as part of a CS curriculum. Regardless of the field we end up in, the need to be able to state one's position and defend it against a counter-proposal is something common to all fields (not just law).
This was my huge complaint with it. Leaving aside for a moment the morality of vice taxes, raking zero calorie soda into the policy makes it very obviously just a cash grab.
sure. in the end you’re responsible for the choices you make. it’s just that it’s stupid hard to eat a healthy diet based on what you normally find in your average supermarket. sugar and added sugars are the norm.

it’s also shocking - to me - seeing people attempt to minimize the health impact of sugar.
Yes I can't tell you how many rust talks and articles I have seen which prominently state: "no data races". You never hear the caveat that general race conditions are still possible, and I think your average programming news consumer could be forgiven for not knowing the distinction.
It's OSX's fault then. Windows can run containers natively now as long as the base image is windows too. No reason why OSX couldn't extend support either.
The collective opinion probably leans towards the cost of a mouse's life being worth the benefit of furthering knowledge of human well-being
Maybe one of the alternatives is "higher quality ingredients". In the USA there is a lot of "hidden sugar" especially in cheap commercial restaurant food and packaged/frozen/canned food.

I suspect however that it's more about the relative price of sugary food compared to non-sugary food. Imagine if the price of Pepsi had to increase because the price of sugar increased. I'm curious if we have any studies on the price elasticity of demand for sugary food.
Which crimes are situational? And I still don’t agree that someone committing a crime is the victim here. To entertain that idea is just silly.

For profit prisons are more cost effective than government run prisons. We are a capitalist society, people seek profit here, including the entirety of the country.
>Whatever the profit margin was for Intel on the CPU, they can give it to me instead.

HAHAHA you sweet summer child.

Next thing you know, you'll be demanding Apple puts back the heatpipe in the Macbook Air for cooling the cpu instead of hoping theres enough airflow over the improperly seated heatsink (which just has to work until the warranty expires ;) )
The main issue I've had with SO, which while anecdotal seems to reflect the sentiment of a lot of people on here whenever the subject is brought up, is that it's infected with the YX problem.

Now you guys probably know the XY problem (asking the wrong question X to when you really want to solve the problem Y). The YX problem, on the other hand, goes like this:

User: "Hi, how do I do Y?"

SO: "Why do you want to do Y?"

User: "Because I want to do [use case]"

SO: "Are you sure you don't want to do X instead?"

User: "No I don't, I have this constraint and this use case so I'm pretty sure this isn't about X and I really want to do Y."

SO: "Are you sure this isn't a duplicate of [some question involving X]?"

User: "No it's not, the question while similar doesn't have the same constraint or usecase and I have searched SO for a while for questions that specifically involved these and didn't find any so I really need to do Y."

SO: "Wow, I can't possibly imagine why you, for a use case you've examined for a while and which I have been made aware of five minutes ago, could possibly want to do Y while not doing X. I don't know and I rest my case. A solution to Y probably doesn't exist anyway."

Answerer: "Hi to do Y you have to do this [hacky snippet]" (answer accepted)

User: "Cool, thanks!"

SO: "This is bad practice and I don't condone it. It shouldn't be upvoted or the accepted answer."

Of course this is the optimistic scenario, where the question does get eventually answered.
Why not share specific examples from this article instead of generalizing?
I still buy CDs and rip them to MP3s.

If you clicked the link expecting to read about the "How" part, you're not going to get anything useful.

I think there's a larger gap here, in that the audience of HN (largely being engineers or "makers" or some sort) generally use "How" as "a piece of advice that is repeatable", ie, we can get the same result if we implement the same steps.

So searching for eg: "how do I crop a video using ffmpeg" will produce a nice set of results on the internet that will give you a replicable set of steps that lead to a pretty clear outcome.

"How do I get my first 1000 customers" isn't the same, and it's a disservice to publish clickbait headlines like that.
Coursera is not the central learning platform, its a course platform.

You don't log in to see your learning graph which will give you the CS Bachelors Degree. You need to choose a course which will give you a CS Bachelors Degree.

Imagine you log into Coursera and you want to have a comparable Degree. You would choose courses to learn 'nodes' of your learning graph. But you could choose which one. You could learn the security topic from a course from someone from harvard and you could learn security topic from someone in germany.

You choose your language, you choose your medium. Might be that a lot of text + 1-2 explain videos help you more then a 2h lecture.

Might be that you can choose between implementing a program or do a presentation.

It might even be required for you to listen to a presentation from other students. Or create your own small programming tasks for others.

This could become the best curated/crowd created biggest collection of educational material in the world.
Apparently Apple had macos working for years on x86 before they switched their computers to intel CPUs. The justification at the time was exactly this - by running their software on multiple hardware platforms, they found more bugs and wrote better code. And obviously it made the later hardware transition to intel dramatically easier.

I would be surprised if Apple didn’t have internal prototypes of macos running on their own Arm chips for the last several years. Most of the macos / iOS code is shared between platforms, so it’s already well optimized for arm.
Yeah, this is probably controversial but I think the police should basically be the bullet sponges for the rest of society. Right now they endanger more lives than they protect, and they’re not even particularly good at dealing with violent crime (you have better than a coin flip odds of getting away with murder in most cities). The vast majority (around 95%) of police calls don’t involve violent crime at all.

I believe most police should be unarmed. If someone attacks them, their job should be to run away and call for backup. Use body cameras to collect evidence to track violent offenders down later. And in order to be armed, an officer should have a 4-year degree that includes a whole lot of training in criminal law.

US troops operating in Kandahar had far more restrictions on use of force than US police do. And people there were actively hunting them. We treat our own citizens worse than foreign enemies, which really needs to change. A big reason for this is that the perceived “enemy” (read: black people) cannot just blend in with the rest of society because of their skin color. That’s pretty fucked up IMO.

So because someone has a counter opinion from yours to refuse debate but stand on a public forum without desire to be challenged? Wow.
I played HR for the first time last month and couldn't finish it, because it bored me to death and then gave me stupid boss fights. It's so dumbed down and just doesn't come close to the first Deus Ex. And yes it felt clunkier than the first game (I lost count of how many times I fell to my death trying to jump onto some platform to perhaps find a secret or hidden route, only to hit a stupid invisible wall)..
Many diners love DoorDash for its fast, easy delivery from hundreds of local restaurants. However, some of those restaurants claim they never gave DoorDash permission to post their menus — and problems with the unauthorized deliveries are reflecting badly on their businesses.

Business is good at NYPD Pizza, a family-owned pizza place, but owner Kevin Leidecker fears his reputation for great food and fast delivery has taken a hit ever since DoorDash started taking orders for his restaurant.

"Customers call us back upset because they didn't get what they thought they were getting," he said.

At first, he had no idea why.

What he discovered was that DoorDash had started handling orders for him without asking his permission.

"They took our menu, posted it on DoorDash, and the customer is oblivious to the fact we have no relationship with Door Dash at all," he said.

He put up a Facebook post urging his customers not to order with DoorDash for his restaurant.

"DoorDash makes money by 'reselling' our food at higher prices," he wrote. "They also charge more for delivery. Between the mistakes on the DoorDash listing for our business and trying to take the order over the phone from someone halfway around the world who doesn't understand our product...we simply can't guarantee a DoorDash order to be correct."

Your line-ending issue is very easy to fix in git:

`git config --global core.autocrlf true`

That will configure git to checkout files with CRLF endings and change them to plain LF when you commit files.
macOS as certified UNIX makes no sense in this argument. it doesn't help anything, as most servers are running Linux.
But Google isn't a monopoly. That's the difference.

Using your market position to gain traction in secondary markets is okay, as long as you aren't in a monopolistic position. Then it's predatory, and will get you in trouble with regulators.
Amazing to look at, but not innovative. There's very rarely that combination of a big AAA game combined with gameplay innovation these days that Deus Ex (and some other groundbreaking games in the late 90's) represented.

The big blockbuster games cost so much money to make today that those who provide the money are extremely risk averse, so you get rehash after rehash after rehash of proven formulas with shinier graphics.

All the (gameplay and storytelling) innovation happens in smaller indie games. Some of them actually have incredible production value, but rarely the marketing power of AAA productions by the big publishers.

It's much like Hollywood in the 70's vs Hollywood today.

(some edits to make it clear that I'm talking about innovation outside the pure rendering technology, that's where AAA productions are leading, no doubt).
I recommend to choose a field of current themes and look for the philosophical approach. For example, science, language, art, neuroscience... a field you already know something about and you like.

If you read short essays, one author/philosopher takes you to another author/philosopher, and so on.

Remember, the most important element in philosophy is the concepts.

I hope this helps.
Nuclear rocket may be able to fire continuously, e.g. accelerating halfway to Mars then braking the 2nd half. Chemical rockets can never do that.
Saying that nuclear fuels "burn" when you cause them to undergo fission in a reactor is a common colloquialism. Hence standard terms like "burnup rates" when describing the efficiency of reactors.

I'm more curious about what caused the recent spike in "thank" showing up in questions and answers. 19% -> 23% in a couple months seems statistically significant.

That's $67 before taxes. I'm with Virgin (not a recommendation). They tend to call every 6 months (less lately) and ask if I'm happy. I always say it costs too much and I want more data. They gave me two bonus packages (something like $5 for 1GB or 2GB). That's how I got to relatively cheap 13GB.

Nowadays they just look at other plans and say, nope, you're on something better than anything we offer now.

FWIW Fizz is the new hotness here. They have worse coverage outside of metros, cheaper base plans, zero phone customer service (problem for negotiating cheaper deals I imagine), and rollover data, which Virgin does not.
This is exactly what I came here to say... there's just no way, right?
This combination could be described as getting strapped into a rocket ship with (silent) fireworks going off inside repeatedly. Whew.
In a country of 330 million people, I'm sure both antifa violence and groups using antifa as cover or trying to attribute violence to antifa all exist. Showing one doesn't disprove the other. This is political narrative building, not good evidence.
I'm not sure very many police are deny what's claimed here, rather that the executive branch and some news channels are.
I will give this a shot!
EasyPost Is Hiring to Take over ECommerce
Wasn't Doordash one of the companies that was lowering payments if tips were added? Eg, if they were going to pay $10 for a delivery, and someone left a $2 tip, they would reduce what they paid to $8. The driver gets $10, rather than the $12 you'd imagine.

I have a hard time reading anything charitably about the company. If you exploit your workers, I don't care how scrappy and clever you were in bootstrapping.
Probably not what you're really asking, but many of the Infocom text adventures are still pretty playable. Yes, the parser is quite dumb but the writing and plots are still quite compelling. Graphical games through at least the 1990s probably don't hold up as well, except as nostalgia.
This may be the case, but it doesn't mean that those skills came from college.

There's a strong selection bias at work - people with good administrative skills and communication skills are much more likely to go to college in the first place. We need to be asking if those people needed to go to college to develop those skills.

In my experience at university, mostly the people who were the strongest - the people you wanted on your teams - were strong right from the start. They had some inherent skills which university developed and honed, but didn't create.
