Yes. The talk was given by an xbox architect, and iirc he mentions he's not sure about the state of the PS4. It's a great talk and if you're interested in security you should give it a watch.
Yeah I think it misses the rationale for the Apple stores. Jobs felt that Apple products were different, and weren’t getting a good sales experience by having big box store employees sell them.

This proved a correct thesis for the apple store, and then the stores grew as apple built mass market products.

Microsoft’s product lineup does fairly well. But it is not mass market. And while they are different from PCs, they still run Windows, which is widely familiar among laptop buyers. Further, retail is less important a channel than it used to be. Microsoft can market its products directly online. So even if Microsoft has some of the disAdvantages Apple had, it doesn’t really have the full use case.
Drug laws are one example but by no means the only one. I've been on police ride-alongs where police watch a "suspicious" (i.e. poor) looking car as it passes them heading in the opposite direction. Oh look! They have a tail light out, we can pull them over. Then we can shine a flashlight in their backseat and see a bulge under a blanket. We can ask them certain questions that will either make us suspicious, or give us permission to search the car. Oh look! They have a pistol magazine that holds more than 15 rounds. Now there's a felony that they know the local courts will uphold despite there being a higher burden of proof about when the magazine was purchased than the officers can provide. Nevermind that the local gun stores all sell those magazines, and the police even buy them for personal use at those stores. But now, because of the way law enforcement works and the culture that has become normalized, somebody has a felony because of selective enforcement.
> Why does a standard highway patrolman or cop doing routine speed traps need a gun?

Because civilians have shot and killed police during traffic stops? And not just with guns. I seem to remember a road rage case in Colorado where the raging driver shot and killed another driver with a crossbow.
>Libya... ended up infinitely better even with ongoing civil strife

Better how? In the 2 civil wars, tens of thousands of people got killed, millions got displaced, and oil production never recovered. Since the country is so fragmented, they can't do anything about the ongoing pandemic. Even Obama refers to Libya has his greatest mistake.

Being able to select your default browser doesn't address the issue that every browser on iOS is just a webkit wrapper
This also goes for global warming etc. The military is a really interesting institution when it comes to politics in the US, and undoubtedly anywhere really.
Specifically for C, static linking is a trap due to its poor semantics. Don't do it. Or fix the C link-editors, then static linking C will be fine.
I think there's a large difference between threatening arrest and threatening direct violence. For one thing, arrests ostensibly may lead to review and double-checking of the case with lawyers and judges and the chance to defend yourself. Mistaken or invalid arrests may be undone. Direct violence can not be reviewed and then taken back.
I have no idea for System 76, but for less than the cost of AppleCare, you can get next business day onsite service for your ThinkPad.

I find that more convenient than taking your laptop to the store.
The Schroedinger equation and the associated linear algebra are pretty fleepin' simple. Turning the crank can be hard but the underlying concepts are already about as simple as they could be.
> For police it appears misconduct is either a slap on the hand that means little or the community is throwing the books at those guys with life destroying prison time and police can also be sued.

The bar is _amazingly_ high for a personal suit to even be _allowed_ against a police officer. Most unions have it in their contract that the department/city/county has to assume good faith and defend their officers, including defending their 'qualified immunity'. I'd argue that isn't a real threat to most officers, and if it is, there's a reason behind it.

Similar for me as a paramedic. If I'm operating within my scope of practice, within my departments policies and procedures, medical direction or my own reasonable clinical judgment, I'm not getting sued personally. The County and the Department are hit first, and even in the event that somehow through that, I'm personally sued, my Department's policy is that as long as I was within policy and procedure, they and their insurance will indemnify.

It would take something outrageously egregious. Near here we had a situation where EMS was called out for a death, with no coroner/ME/funeral home available. EMS took the body to the fire station for temporary storage, no more than a couple of hours at most.

All good so far.

Less good: allowing personnel to practice intubation of the body in the hallway, without consent. Allowing _non medical_ personnel (front office reception) to also practice. Worst: be doing this still when the person's family shows up at the fire station.

Even that didn't result in all the lawsuits you'd think it might. (Sadly. That was absolutely atrocious, despicable, unethical).
Measuring social bias in knowledge graph embeddings
Facebook isn't a monopoly. they aren't the only social media platform, nor are they even the most popular among certain demographics. What definition of monopoly are you using here? Also, what does "free passes of free speech suppression" even mean? Your language here is emotional and clearly carries its own bias.

"manipulating votes" implies vote tampering or some kind other kind of fraud, when what I think you mean is "manipulating voters," which isn't always illegal. And "free speech suppression" appears to mean moderation, but Facebook and all other platforms moderate their content under whatever arbitrary means they choose all the time, notwithstanding being legally require to "suppress" content already deemed illegal.

This isn't an entirely black and white matter, because moderation and, to some degree, manipulation are aspects of free speech. If Facebook doesn't have the right to set their own terms of service and moderate content under those terms, then who does is for them? The government? Is having the government restrict free speech really better than having corporations do it?
'Capitalism' was a term conceived by Marx and despite Marx and many other anti and pro-capitalist economists having much more to say on the subject, has always had a pretty straightforward definition of being an economy characterised by capital owners hiring wage labourers to generate returns on their capital. A definition sufficiently succinct to describe both the excesses of Silicon Valley and the grim poverty of the Industrial Revolution.

The definition relies on the assumption the distribution of capital is sufficiently unequal for workers to need/want to work for capitalists to earn wages and the market sufficiently free for it to be possible for capitalists to hire workers to generate returns. But both the Marxist arguments that capital must inevitably become so concentrated that capitalists won't need to pay workers above subsistence levels [until it leads to revolutions] and the free market economist argument that competition will resolve this [and pesky social democrats will ruin it] are firmly in the 'squishy' parts of the definition.

('Communism', which had competing definitions before Marx started writing about it, has always been a bit squishy...)
Living in a country with an inefficient police department is not fun. Ask anyone from you know who came from Cuba, Brazil, Honduras, Venezuela, or South Africa.

Living in a country with an extremely efficient police department is not fun either. See: China and Singapore.

There is a balance. Banning soulless social credit-tier stuff like this is a good step in the right direction. Another problem with stuff like "predictive policing" is that everyone knows a hypothetical 100% enforcement of the law would put almost everybody in prison; there are too many laws on the books in the USA. The first laws that come to mind are about the drug war. (Even cops are drug (steroid) addicts, so they themselves would go to prison too under 100% enforcement.) I don't use drugs, not even alcohol, but if someone thinks some white powder is going to make them happy or selling it would put food on the table then they should not be brutalized by the state for it.

ML and mass surveillance is going to actually allow 100% enforcement of laws, so it's time to have this discussion and redo the criminal code.
A rape investigation should be done by a social worker? Are they trained criminal investigators? Is a social worker familiar with the rules of criminal evidence? The job of the police is to investigate crimes and present evidence to the DA.

For welfare checks or mental illness incidents, then of course a social worker or analogue could be a better choice. For investigating criminal acts, that’s specifically what police do.

If someone calls in a rape, what happens when the suspect is still there? Rape is a violent crime and showing up with a gun is absolutely appropriate. It’s ridiculous to suggest violent crimes should be investigated by people who aren’t trained in criminal investigation nor trained to deal with violent and dangerous suspects. Is the social worker going to carry handcuffs? Are they going to be trained in apprehending suspects? If so, then that means the social worker is now a cop.

Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water here.
I am not disagreeing with your overall point, but they sell meters that measure electric potential. We measure it all the time.
Who's paying for HN?
But the PS4 has been cracked. Newest firmware or not is a bit irrelevant. Once Sony stops supporting the PS4, we're going to see the latest firmware get cracked too. That's usually how it goes. There are a number of private exploits going up to 7.00 (and possibly higher).

For fuck's sake, stop downvoting. Stupid assholes.

> Both the Xbox One and the PS4 have now been on the market for close to 6 years, without hackers being able to crack the system to enable piracy or cheating. This is the first time in history that game consoles have lasted this long without being cracked to enable piracy.

The PS4 has been cracked to enable piracy. That's a fucking fact. I can literally go on Ebay right now and buy myself a hackable PS4 and download a bunch of games and go nuts. So you guys can go eat shit.
There are some systems (Schottky junctions iirc) where you can semidirectly sample a wave function via a voltage.
My mom got conned into giving away her credit card info and allowing someone to install remote software on her PC the other week (btw I emailed Satya Nadella with my thoughts and he awesomely forwarded it to someone to look into more - my thoughts were briefly.. why do I have to travel home to fix this...).

My mom is in her 70s. People like that (a) vote (b) believe in whatever is on Facebook.

That's the risk of under-moderated social networks. Under 40 crowd + anyone on HN tbh is not the risk.
Yep. In the Covid era homeless people are even being sheltered in regular hotel chains.
Of note is how many contributors and commits there have been, 1,150 and 82,479 respectively.
What would be examples of poor static linking semantics? Thanks!
I co-founded a company that found itself with a similar set of criteria for what we wanted. For us, VC worked out well. We weren't the typical company they saw, but going in with a very clear set of things we wanted from a partner was very helpful. Ultimately, they were high value add when relevant but otherwise let us focus on growing the business.

My guess is it comes down to the right VC/Partner and finding mutually agreeable terms.
Heh, this sounds like the Army Version of a Commander's Directed Inestigation:

https://www.af.mil/Portals/1/documents/ig/CDI_Guide_18-Febru...

Like you said, the invstigator of a CDI is someone who is higher rank than everyone involved (so there's no attempt at sway), and someone very far removed from everyone else. This way the CDI can provide a fair and impartial judgement of a situation and if it should lead to further action.

One of the biggest take aways that I had was when the accused was a straight up jerk to me, and made my investigation as difficult as they possibly could. I am still amazed that someone whose livelyhood was in my hands would be so rude to that person. It would have been also incredibly easy for me to record facts to sway the information I had to the point that the accused would have gotten in more trouble (I did not do that).

I say that to put myself into the shoes of a police officer. I can only imagine how that would grate on someone who had to deal with it on a semi-routine basis.
The cross-integration docs should have by now and doesn't simply blows my mind.

Like why even doesn't sheets and docs have the exact same table cell formatting options?

Following that, why can't a sheet seamlessly embed to a google doc.
I don't agree with this:

- static responsive add bug: Positive. Users will not get the bad version of Y.

On the contrary, it's negative because the maintainers of X will update Y and introduce the bug to their users (I'm assuming they don't thoroughly audit the source of Y each time they do a version upgrade).

Also, "unresponsive remove bug" should be given more weight since it's more likely to happen IMO.
California police probing alleged online BLM threats made by former officers

I haven't seen it since I saw it in cinemas, but thinking back, shouldn't the precog's visions be used as a bayesian prior? If they see a guy who is just done shooting someone, shouldn't that be the starting point for gathering a little more evidence? If it turns out he doesn't have a gun or training in how to use one, maybe let him go? If you see he goes to shop for a gun and spends some days on the range, evidence is stronger by any account.

If he then starts sending threatening letters to his ex with cut up old bits of newspaper, that's some more evidence.

Maybe do a RCT when goes to visit her, then you can save half of them potentially. It's a bit grating how they skip around the subject of how exactly they know their prediction method works.
I don't know where this idea is coming from that UBI will incent people to drop out of the labor force. Any reasonable and currently-feasible UBI would do the opposite. And experiments bear this out - those who seemingly leave the workforce are actually doing something quite different: namely, they're temporarily shifting from formal employment to working towards human capital acquisition, or else providing care for others.
"Then, profits started decreasing and I decided to move on to other things and I lacked the motivation to go back into it."

Is this post about the one with decreasing profits, or a new one that is profitable?
There was a thread about ifconfig earlier this year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22626346
The other day I when I saw different people were criticizing @dang alternatively for being a communist and a racist nazi, I knew he did a great job.
What do you mean by the term “indie” here? Are the stations themselves not affiliated with larger corporations? Or are they mainly playing independent artists? Or both?

I’m a professional musician and categorically reject the “but at least it is possible to be heard at all” angle. No. That is bullshit. Spotify is replacing BOTH album sales and radio play, and yet it pays multiple orders of magnitude worse than either.
This is a great point, but at the same time how do we answer this question when all our experiments last 5 years or less? To answer this question you have to run an experiment for roughly 30 years, ensuring that people born into this system are taken through college (i.e. the dependent years, which is usually considered <25yrs of age) and that you have enough children being born during this period. We know that influences before the age of 8 have significant factors in establishing things like educational culture for children, and this is highly associated with socioeconomic status.

So if we're saying that an experiment has to run for at least 30 years: 1) why aren't we getting on that? 2) are short term studies enough to warrant bypassing the long term small scale study and precede to a large scale study?
Maybe there's a zone between neutron stars and black holes where the object consists at least partly of quark-gluon plasma because the neutrons have been forced together until they break, but it's a hair too small to form a black hole.
Agreed. Windows needs to have APIs, and apps that can save state must use them, to give apps a chance to save state. E.g., hibernate running VMs, finish syncing docs to drives, save simulation state (as in your case), etc.
It doesn't seem to discuss the justification for considering the ban in the first place. I can imagine as an example, Exxon-Mobile trying dominating the climate change discussion through anonymous edits (though they didn't, at least partially; they were retroactively caught trying to modify relevant pages from IP associated with their business).
Well this is false.

But I can say that I became disinterested in piracy when they made getting games more convenient than piracy. When they made using the hardware closer to its full potential part of the default experience. When they got the pricing right for these “premium” but pretty basic features. And of course, personally having the disposable income to afford the content because I would have never been a customer when I was pirating, only an unpaid evangelist of the franchise.
It's wrong to focus on the reactive part - it's a feature that it is fully supported, but Micronaut is a generic framework that has both synchronous and async support. It's real secret sauce is the ability to make API building extremely concise, well type checked and performant (for JVM based apps - 10-100ms scale startup times etc.).

For example, this is a Hello World API in Groovy (this is almost literally the entire Application):

@Controller('/hello')
class HelloController {
String index() {
'Hello World'
}
}
Guy down the street from me had his 70lb pitbull killed. People don't think of coyotes as serious predators, but they truly are.
Fox News has been the target of an ad boycott every year or two for the past decade. They did not lead to any meaningful change.

Every time they get rid of the most egregious hosts and replace them with new ones. The new ones start out moderate, then inevitably drift to extremism. The advertisers have plausible deniability for half of their employees and customers. The other half don't care or are cheering Fox.

Mutual fund companies do something similar with underperforming funds. They cull the worst performers and the remainder make the whole fund family look good due to the magic of survivorship bias.

Facebook is obviously drastically different than Fox. That said, they are a large company and organizational inertia is very hard to overcome. Right now FB is optimized to promote quantity of engagement without regard to quality. Turning down the heat and promoting civility would result in fewer posts, which would mean fewer ad impressions. That's not happening.
Well in the end it's still LA you're watching. Linear Algebra is the study of those linear systems, the determinants, the eigenvalues etc. How they behave and why. The abstractness is the "nature" of the LA approach and a bit of mathematical curiosity is needed.

If that's not what you're looking for than maybe you won't be satisfied with any variant of an LA introduction. There's probably a lecture somewhere which teaches the math in combination with an application.
With NetBSD, it is relatively easy to compile the entire system as static. Is it easy to do this with Arch Linux? (Maybe Void Linux?)
This is because not enough people were actually upset about that... there are enough people upset about the latest rounds of scandals that advertisers are deciding it is worth pulling advertising.

That, or they are realizing they aren't getting a good ROI on facebook ads and figure now is a good time to pull out.
That's a really good point that I hadn't considered. All of the software I'm pulling from Pacman is being compiled from source, the authors aren't uploading binaries.

So the difference in effort between changing the static library and changing the dynamic library is... maybe not nothing, but not nearly as high as I was assuming.
People want to work.

A better question is: why do we actively discourage single parents from marrying and working full time? In many places, full time employment with low skills is a ticket to disaster.
Not for political speech. One is not like the other.
The obvious counterpart is vendor DRM/copy-protection, which has been around since forever(see: the NES lockout chips, every fancy disk-sector protection method used on the 8-bit micros). The attempt is always to make the computer used for something less than it is literally capable of. Extension of these limits into the context of an apparently generalized operating system is just a way of elaborating on the idea.
Bots have been an issue on Spotify for years. Spotify is pretty good at sorting them and removing fake streams.
> because of the enormous cost of FDA approval.

Then one would expect some other country, with better costs for regulatory approval, to be a hotbed of medical innovations. Are there any examples?
Even the exact same projection but a slightly shifted 0° meridien would yield a completely different list of cities.
I'm just looking at the motherboard layout at the very top of the article, and it's really strange to my non-expert eyes. The CPU is off to one side, and the GPU is the thing in the middle. And the SDRAM is all split up and far away from the CPU! Is this some sort of game-console specific thing?
I’m shocked a mattress company that I’ve never even heard of spends that much on facebook ads.
Yes it doesnt match your worldview, consider seeing if you can corroborate it. I know strange concept for you to find a source instead of hoping to pick apart the person that posted, but you might be surprised

But regarding the rebuttal to microdosing users, if they were getting randomly frisked and randomly tested and randomly stopped for “broken” taillights, because the algorithm said so, they would be getting caught and reinforcing the algorithm and human biases

This is what is happening disproportionately to some demographics that dont have inherently different behavior from other demographics
Meanwhile in Mexico... my dad's closest ISP switch was fully saturated by his neighbors. Somehow, he convinced the guys to run a full fiber run (about 300 ft) to his house from the next link for a good tip (20 USD). Even then the service is not particularly expensive around 30USD for 50MB+ symmetric. I was surprised it is more expensive in the US after many years of being quite expensive in Mexico and basically having a monopoly.
