>Rust gives up if you don't know the type of a variable and you try to accesses a member of it, where I once wrote a more complicated iterative solver that would see if it could infer the type of the variable from later context

My guess is that Rust's designers would reply that their compiler is slow enough without the complication you describe.
Nobody that I know carries a physical pager anymore. You have the option of specifying an arbitrary number of pageable devices that are either

* the paging app
* sms-based text
* phone call

as well as what order and with what delay you want them to attempt to engage you. iirc you need at least two options such that in the event of an issue with one network/application they have an alternative means of potentially reaching you.
Didn't realize you're on HN. Your channel is great!

Things like the pantograph make me think about computation as a physical process.
I was there a few years ago. Really amazing place, I didn't comprehend its scale until I was there, and even today I struggle to understand that it was built so long ago. I think we would struggle to build something like that today.

What's happening here is very subtle and very sad. Other mosques have either limited or no access to non-muslims and it would be tragic if that happened to the Hagia Sophia and I don't think that anyone is going to speak out against this and even if they did, Erdogan has no reason to care.

All that said, I do recommend visiting Istanbul. It was a fantastic (if brief) trip with some really breathtaking things. I think we spent like two hours getting lost inside the old bazaar and never once walked the same street twice. The food is also so good. I could live on Turkish coffee and Baklava with some Kunefe for desert.
No genocide is the correct term, the Chinese government is actively trying to destroy a group which is what genocide means.

The United Nations Genocide Convention, which was established in 1948, defines genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such" including the killing of its members, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately imposing living conditions that seek to "bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part", preventing births, or forcibly transferring children out of the group to another group.[4][5][6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide

Chinese actions to reduce births for example are very well documented.

Yep! That sort of message is common in react apps I’ve worked with before.

I am wondering: how does Mac know whether you are in a light room or a dark room to adjust its screen's brightness without activating the camera?

Even ignoring the erroneous attributions, I wan't the right to voice a controversial (or even wrong) opinion. Afterall, how else would I engage and learn that I am wrong.

It seems that the expectation is increasingly that the only evidence people should need to overturn their personal opinions is the fact that they are not in the majority.

Similarly, it seems that very little leeway is given to those who changed their minds, even before their controversial opinions came to light.
I never said Marx wasn't.

Just that the people who spread the views beyond just the "anti-Semites and white nationalists" seem to be both themselves.

We don't know how deep the anti-Semitism and white-nationalism go in America. We do know people have been unfairly labeled neo-nazis that's true, but how big is that issue? Is there a way to quantify it. Clearly a large enough portion are anti-Semites as they were able to have a march where they chant "Jews will not replace us"
Quite often ISPs chuck you behind a NAT now which makes things harder.
I see "You have 2 free stories left this month." at the top.

It's a vanity URL for Medium. If they've got their own domain why would they want to drive any traffic to medium? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Well for one, the fact that they do all these things. Some apps do some of these but rarely all of them.

The other is the way they hide what they're doing so elaborately.

I wouldn't call it a national security concern, no. Someone who works with critical or military infrastructure should have a locked-down phone anyway for work stuff.

But really I wonder how this kind of stuff is OK in the eyes of Apple with their self-proclaimed privacy focus. I'm pretty sure if I were to submit an app that does all this, it'll be rejected right away. Popularity seems to overrule that.
Indigenous people have been in NA for an extremely long time and have sorted themselves into nations over that time just like any where else in the world.

If there are overlapping disagreements between Indigenous Nations about land title, as there are with all sorts of modern nations around the world, there are lots of modern mechanisms to settle that.

Not sure how any of this has any relevance or should be used as a justification colonialism and for pushing people off their lands.
> It is like buying a $200 math or physics textbook

Well that's bonkers in the first place.
Testing and metrics can be wrong like in this case. A ton of data can be too much where we find patterns to reenforce what we want.

Regular as compared to a celebrity (well, I suppose he is a celebrity now on HN and tech places on Reddit), but being regular is no panacea agaianst criticism.
It's funny you'd say that when there are so many companies doing chat and video software and they're all billion dollar companies.

Quick math, assume one tool is charging $8 per employee per month (meaning $100 a year). It only takes one million customers to be a billion dollar company ($100M yearly recurring revenues at 10x valuation).

And one million customers is just a couple of fortune 100. The whole market is orders of magnitude bigger than that!
At this stage at least, the recreation of the interaction between that artificial body and the environment will be impressionistic at best...

Like we don't even have a full conscious understanding of what we are made from, or what we need to survive.

How do we 'install' those ideas and that imperative in an agent, when we don't fully understand it ourselves?

I'm not entirely supporting one side or another, but I think it's reasonable to bet against the imminent arrival of AGI at this stage, unless some radical discovery comes to light soon.

And if (when?) that discovery eventually comes, I'd suspect it to be a biological one. But then, who knows...
+1. Best place for anyone to start - regardless of your background.
> it would be practically impossible for people to write programs that articulate and incorporate that knowledge without machine learning

That could be true, but I think that's a different argument. That's more like claiming that it is impossible for a computer to become intelligent unless it can experience its environment and remember those experiences. That seems like a much more plausible and less dualist claim.
Designers are hard to collaborate with, from my personal experiences.
Is that a common thing for you, having a coin closed in your laptop? :)
They do. But now that I think about it, I don't remember where any of mine are, because I haven't had to use them in over 5 years.

It’s ok they’re only 720p so you’ll be blurry if someone hacks you.
I'm on Google Drive mainly because they dpn't offer such a plan. Dropboxes client is better, but I'm not paying an extra $8/month for storage I don't need.
Yes, nearly impossible... unless you spend $5 at Amazon on a screwdriver in which case it’s trivial.
That's a really interesting suggestion. I'm seeing something similar - the jpeg2png output looks cleaner and at first glance more pleasant to look at, but the reference seems both sharper and easier to read. It feels somehow more easier to ignore the more obvious flaws in the reference, and being used to them sounds like a plausible explanation to my layman ear.
Its pretty terrible source material if your trying to make a mainstream hit.

The foundation is great, but its not your traditional laser-battle big budget mainstrean action-sf thingy.

Being "required" to provide post-mortems doesn't always mean they will actually do it.
> The company that does all three of these things in an integrated fashion is.

So Google? Microsoft might count too, but I haven't used their suite in a while.

Also, I would think integrated email would be necessary too.
What is "a body" other than inputs and outputs to interface with the environment, and perhaps a mechanism of perceiving the environment and remembering what was perceived?
Not sure about all of them but different databases have different use cases. It's not necessarily Postgres vs. MySQL where they are competing databases for the same use case. Snowflake, for example, is a data warehouse that (I believe) stores data in a columnar format. This makes it much better at performing aggregate queries (how many shows were watched on netflix today?) but a lot slower for specific queries (where in this episode is gavinray currently at?).
Or, I can plant things that repel specific pests, plant things that attract the natural predators of that pest, or plant sunflowers and tobacco as sacrificial plants. I can let the chickens go after the pests. I can recognize that sometimes, the pests are a solution to a different problem, and adjust things accordingly.

All of those solutions are more resilient than microdrones, computer vision, and laser. These high tech solutions require a long global supply chain. They don't make them as robust as as they used to. Further, having multiple, redundant pest management systems means that when one of them fails, they won't all fail.
That the others are doing it too doesn't make it right.

Really Apple should take a stand and give all of them 30 days to fix their apps or get banned.

But TikTok annoyed me in particular for a long time. Nothing to do with geopolitics, I already hated it before I knew it was owned by China and everyone started banning it.

It was just that for the past months every time someone forwarded me a stupid video I was supposed to like, it had a TikTok logo on it. So in my view this became the source of "stupid videos people bother me with". Not exactly a charming quality.

Especially with the lockdown it became extra annoying, every day I got multiple stupid lockdown videos and the ones with people doing stupid stuff and then the coffin dancers thing.

So that's my personal reason for hating on TikTok. The privacy revelations just sealed the deal. Not saying it's a valid reason for everybody but it's my reason :P
They can rather easily discern between the two in double blind tests. The vinyl recording has a noticeable amount of noise in it. Vinyl record players can't exceed the kinds of signal to noise ratios that human hearing can detect. The more ridiculous claims are the audiophiles who pretend to distinguish between ultra high sample rate audio and 44100Hz or 48000Hz sampled audio.
I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Feitian-ePass-NFC-FIDO-Security/dp/B0... . Plug into laptop when using laptop, hold against back of phone while using phone, and the form factor is non-annoying on my keyring with my house keys. I was shocked that YubiKey doesn't offer a single key that works for both phone and laptop.
I don't think their product is really that viable. The amount of setup, process, work, materials and money it takes to produce a 10 minute clip is just about the same amount it takes to produce a 30 minute episode.

I've enjoyed some short-form episodic content on Amazon before, but it always left me feeling short-changed, and wishing the episodes were 30 minutes. It was too quick to go through the entire series and then it's done, I have to search for more content that is high quality, which is few and far between. Maybe it's for people with ADD who can't follow a plot longer than 10 minutes long?

Quibi is relying on a gimmick, and one that isn't even difficult to copy and has been done before. I've so far not heard of any reason that would compel me to spend my time on their site when there's so much other content out there.

I'm also not sure why anyone would want Meg Whitman on board at a company like this, unless she's somehow responsible for bringing some of that 1.8 Billion in funding, and even then she should only be on the board, not in the C suite.
Boop from ShipHero. Stitch isn't really a WMS. If you need a WMS and are on Shopify, did you check us out? We tend to get those brands (we power about $5 Billion of annual ecommerce GMV).
I took Martin Escardo’s course on functional programming at university. Nothing but positive things to say about the man. A fantastic teacher with a real care for his students.

Makes me happy to see him on HN.
I got into ham radio almost a year ago. I did so as my software and web development hobby became my career.

Ham radio is a very interesting hobby with a large variety of activities and operating techniques. It's been great to learn about how to make direct contacts across the world using just a small antenna and coil using the HF bands.

I certainly understand the potential commercial value of spectrum currently allocated to amateurs, though it's a shame to see it constantly under threat, with little regard to its usefulness as an emergency communication service.

While it's true that most amateurs are older, I'm 24 and I would encourage anyone looking for something else to do to get licensed and get on the air. There's always something more to learn and do, and many hams are happy to help with choosing and setting up equipment.

Check out hamstudy.org if you want to get licensed. It's pretty easy, especially to get a basic Technician class license, and online testing has begun due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Probably red tape and sysadmins. Easier to just use a different service than it is to convince the sysadmins to host your blog software and maintain that.
If someone bought FAANG + MS + TSLA today and compared it to 10 years from now would they beat the S&P?

That's basically the point. It's easy to beat the S&P with knowledge in retrospect.
They are still out there.

Last year we recruited an attorney from a firm that still uses WordPerfect for all their documents.
This is under-appreciated, and as I have aged I have discovered that I prefer the verbosity over brevity. Namely, when mentoring more junior engineers who can barely write code at all.
As someone who plays games, I am having a hard time imagining myself spending this money to your service.

I mean no disrespect, I'm sure it took some time to build, but the alternatives are popular and they are free (Steam/Discord). The only part that I would consider is finding new games, but there is usually enough media coverage that I don't have to look for.

I'm sorry, just that's my opinion. I thought it would be helpful to share.
GitHub's web interface uses my security key in NFC form from my android phone, I assume it would be the same on iOS?
This "article" was written and published at the same time across many different publications. Ars, IGN, and more published this PR piece in full: https://icrowdnewswire.com/2020/07/10/the-return-of-the-70-v.... Search for this title in DDG and you'll find many results.

The question is, who paid to publish the press release? Pushing a press release through a PR firm that would get you wide coverage like this ain't free, and it doesn't happen on its own.

I haven't seen anybody asking that question or pointing out the conflict of interest.
That does nothing except switching the default audio source to the blocked channel. Any app that can access the default source can access the still working microphone just as well.
I ditched GNOME in 2015 for XFCE and haven't looked back. Their attitude is pompous and atrocious. Send them to the bins of history where they belong.

Fck GNOME devs coming straight from tha underground
A young hacker got it bad cos he's out
of other FOSS choices so devs think
They have the authority to break their reverse dependencies
Fck that shit, cause I ain't the one
For a brainwashed developer to be lecturing on
"If you don't like it, just don't upgrade"
what and use unsupported software with no security updates?
Fcking with me cos I'm not an average user
So I gotta put up with the preferences of pretentious designers
Rearranging my workflow, oversimplifying their product
Thinking every user is a fcking dumb idiot
You'd rather see, me wasting time
Than take responsibility for your poisonous party line.
Pwn a GNOME dev with an 0-day
and when I'm finished, fck with GTK
to pad a hundred pixels inside every border
yeah enjoy your own fcking bread and water!
I don't know if they NSA
Slowing hackers down, and wasting screen space
And on the other hand, without FOSS they can't get jobs
Cause they just failed at trying to be Steve Jobs.
Dumbing down the ecosystem, training user ignorance,
Spitting on those who built our community in the first place!
Anonymous will rewrite
Every application with a GNOME design
Just cause I think more mathematically
Punk designers are afraid of me!
HUH, a young hacker on the warpath
And when I'm finished, they'll wish they'd merged my patch
when they had a chance, but now it's too late
Yo J, GNOME's been replaced.

Example of scene one

[GNOME Dev] Pull up your goddamn debugger right now!
[Hacker] Aww shit, now what the fuck they changing their API for?
[GNOME Dev] Cause I feel like it! Now sit the fuck down for 16 hours and patch yo fucking software
[Hacker] Man, fuck this shit
[GNOME Dev] Aight smartass, I'm breaking yo entire desktop!
Nice. I take it you've never met a Christian homeschooler? Comments like that reek of coastal elitism. I know, you read an article about Christians once on Vox.
Right. And some apps like WebEx turn on the camera by default, which is insane but happens and until you click to turn it off, you're live.

Also, if you're using an external display, then how are you supposed to notice the green light on the MacBook sitting next to the display?

That Apple article is nonsense. I put a black tape over the camera and I know nothing including hacks can broadcast unintended scene. It's easy to remove the tape when I actually have to which isn't too often for me.
All this is pretty hard. I recommend the rctestflight YouTube channel. Really useful if you want to build any robot for real.
Anecdote: every adult I knew that used Reddit, save two, has moved on. Most children under 12 I'm familiar with use Reddit.
But presumably the reparations have to be paid from one group to another group. And perhaps there is a third group that pays nothing and gets nothing (recent immigrants?). So if you are in the group that has to pay out the reparations aren't you being punished for the actions of your ancestors?

As complicated as these considerations are, I still wonder about the unintended side effects if there were indeed some sort of substantial transfer of wealth from some subset of Americans to descendants of slaves. Wouldn't that create a terribly animosity between those groups and what if that transfer of wealth didn't actually resolve the disparities? What if 10 years later the metrics used to measure those disparities indicated that they still existed? More reparations? It isn't clear to me that wealth transfer can actually remedy many of the disparities that are observed. I think it is quite a bit more complex than that.
It says:

1. Packages were recorded up to a maximum of 60 per country – records beyond this number have negligible impact on the average

2. Averages are calculated as the MEDIAN of all recorded package prices/data limits

But It doesn't mean most citizen will use median plan, I believe everyone will tend to use cheapest plan. Is average number really meaningful?
Yes, for example the Seminoles weren't native to Florida they were bands of Creeks pushed there by the Upper Creeks and Europeans in the 1700s, and were also invited by the Spanish. They weren't even named as a distinct group until the 1770s. There were many other Florida tribes.
The more analogous claim would be "it's impossible to flap two arm-like appendages quickly and achieve flight," and the burden of proof would indeed be on you for making that claim. (Of course, in that case it would be easy to disprove by pointing to birds or even with computer simulations and toys if birds did not exist).
Looks like it's going pretty well, Facebook is currently worth 700 billion dollars. Or is that not what you meant?
You are on Google Drive because you don’t need what Dropbox does. That’s not something they should worry about. They would need at least five of you for every $10/mo customer who downgraded to improve their situation, not factoring things like increased support cost and higher churn rates from lowest-price shoppers.
That's what they claim. The result seems to be no better than rand() :)
Anyone can look and see the path of arson, robbery & destruction that is not a part of any normal crime pattern. When dozens of people rob & destroy a Wal-Mart, Target, etc. that's "looting" not mere robbery or such.

Insofar as you want to compare crime stats, CHAZ/CHOP is part of a huge % increase in crime. Even CHAZ "security" managed to shoot people.

I only said that Dorn was a cop, not that he was murdered for being a cop--you're putting words in my mouth. I believe I did mention that some of even the 17 had been shot by cops and there were more deaths after that.

I take making false claims about what I've said to be a red flag.
I can relate, I broke my MBP16 screen because of a camera cover.
Apple repaired my mac for free without a hitch.
We didn't manage to raise rates to 2.5% in the longest economic expansion of modern history and you are thinking that they will be hitting 3-4% "soon"?
There are many. Their feature sets vary a lot.
It sounds like they’ll be building tools that do stuff like that on core Square product.
If you wait just a few months after release you can almost always get pristine copies of xbox one and PS4 physical disc-based games for a lot less on eBay. I think I paid $19 for Assassin's Creed Odyssey including shipping.
oh i get it, watching for a light to see if the camera is on is equivalent to covering the camera
