We still have 10+ years until batteries and charging infrastructure is good enough to completely replace ICE cars.

And then we have a few more decades while all the existing ICE cars age out and are actually replaced. Consider how many people today drive 10-20 year old cars. This goes doubly for high end collector cars like Porsches: Porsches from the 70s and 80s are still popular among enthusiasts, and these cars need to be repaired.
It's not only HP necessarily either. Lighter pistons could also improve responsiveness. You're accelerating less mass so that could mean a nicer torque curve if you increase weight savings in the moving parts of the drivetrain.
When either party takes on more risk in a deal they want compensation. This is perfectly understandable.

If an author wants access to the distribution network of a certain publisher, they must pay.

Ever wonder why the biggest authors don’t simply run their own publishing houses? They understand the value provided. And they rarely if ever reach 50% in royalties (I’ve never heard it, in many decades of following professional writing).

What I do find is authors generally have no idea of the value provided. In which case they’re welcome to self publish. But self-publishing rarely results in great sales either.

Both avenues have pros and cons. That said, I’d likely still choose a publisher, since my time is also important, and I’d prefer not having to be average in a dozen skills when I can invest effort at being much better at a few.
Note that the conduct of Prenda which the judge objected to was that they were both the legal representation and the copyright owners, but didn't admit that before the court. There was no suggestion that their tactics posed any problems.
Blank-Check Boom Gets Boost from Coronavirus
I think that people that can contribute to the cost of making the programme should do so, but I’m also happy if people that cannot still get to enjoy it.
Thanks for the response. I’m also curios how other languages are contending with the backlash against gendered words. Everything in French, Spanish, Italian, etc. is gendered, right?
This has been on my back burner for about a year now...glad someone has gotten to it. It already looks full featured. I've been thinking that with the right library subset (just like libcore or no_std), it would be a very safe possibility for a trusted language...accessible to users that are not superusers. That would be extremely valuable to RDS users that would love to use something fast, as opposed to the standard trusted languages like pl/python.
Yes, it's always mess like sqlx.
I think diesel vehicles in metropolitan areas are the worst offenders.

Travelling around Europe, I think these were my biggest pet peeve, as an otherwise incredible and quaint city (such as Porto or Malaga) ends up being tainted with the disgusting smell of diesel fumes.

Petroleum only would be a huge improvement. Of course, electric only would even be better.
When itcomes to guitars Indonesia is the new Korea just like Korea was the new Japan.

I have one of the last Korean Ibanezes(2005) before production of mid and low end models was almost entirely moved to Indonesia, and in 2006 the Korean ones were much better in comparison.

Nowadays, after almost 15 years the Indonesian made Ibanezes caught up.
Supercars aren’t exactly known for their reliability. I imagine Porsche would use this on their super and hyper cars first.
the real cost is the calculated odds of a thrown rod destroying a $30k engine. I suspect that is why this will be economical in racing applications.
This needs a (2019) added, or maybe a link directly to the newer posts.
Personally, I just started Gibson’s Agency today. I gave up on Stephenson and his world-building years ago. Not knocking it mind you, as he still has his fans, but I just find that Gibson’s character driven stuff with a direct focus on story keeps me more interested.
By projecting your perception of the present onto past events, you're distorting the historical context. Remember that the original answer to native third-party apps was "HTML5 websites are good enough."

Anyone who worked with him will tell you that all of the statements you've quoted are forthright.

Control is a byproduct.
For those that enjoy stories about the early days of electric guitar, I recommend picking up the book "The Birth of Loud: Leo Fender, Les Paul, and the Guitar-Pioneering Rivalry That Shaped Rock 'n' Roll" by Ian S. Port. It's a great story about the first electric guitars and their creators.
Like I mentioned, I drink and buy whiskey so I know it is sold in glass. Maybe I was unclear, but I think glass is less than ideal for the reasons I mentioned. Specifically here we are talking Johnnie Walker Black per the article's picture. This is a lower end high volume offering, though it's just fine. But I am convinced that Diageo, which has a market cap of over $300B USD, had done some due diligence on the matter.
Scott also mentions in another book how cultures based on roots (potato, manioc) tend to be less hierarchical as they don't easily support taxing and strong states, whereas grain can be easily quantified and taxed all at once at harvest time
Alas, opportunity cost. I can’t afford to not keep on my own path right now sticking to the things I have lots of experience with and some degree of mastery.

Ive only ever been able to change stacks when my employer allows me the ramp time so far (otherwise I seem to get hated by lack
Of experience)

Now if they had a use for a highly skilled JS developer who is willing to learn C++ we could talk
The thing about perpetual motion machines, is that they just might lead to other useful discoveries.

I remember when I was a kid playing with remote-control cars, I was trying to add a wheel which would put energy back into the battery as the car drove around and stopped. A friends father explained to me that this was an attempt at creating a perpetual motion device, and that it was a pointless exercise. Of course, it was only a step away from understanding hybrid drive systems.

I'm not saying I was the first person to think of it, or invent it, but it is a very real possibility that I would have become more interested in science and technology as I made smaller discoveries along the way, rather than being convinced that there was no point in trying, because nothing would ever work.

It took me about 20 years to find my way back into creating.
> In general, you can always substitute a high-quality, expensive op-amp for a cheap op-amp.

Yes, it will work in general. Unless the expensive opamp has a significantly wider bandwidth, then one must use with caution. Switching from a low bandwidth opamp to a high bandwidth opamp is especially problematic, the loop characteristics are different and it may need additional frequency compensation or bandwidth limiting, the original layout may become inadequate, etc. More often than not, a blind replacement make it oscillate like crazy.

Sometimes having a bunch of cheap opamps makes life easier.

And financially - your heart and wallet won't start bleeding when your $0.5 opamp is unexpectedly zapped by ESD, cooked in soldering, or fried in an overload. Killing a $10 ASIC is a big deal (just did that last week while prototyping an ASIC controller, but there isn't anything cheaper on the market).
My info is a little out of date (~10 years) but I did a MS thesis on aluminum/carbon fiber composites and holy hell are they impossible to produce. There are so many factors that just make these materials not want to go together (similar for Mg / carbon fiber). I would be really surprised to see any real MMC any time soon.
Engineering Explained[0] on Youtube does a good job talking about improvements across both technologies.

He says he gets this question a lot when he talks about conventional engine improvements, whether or not they are going to be irrelevant soon. In one video (which I frustratingly I can't find at the moment) he lists a series of use cases that are going to rely on conventional, maybe diesel, for a long time, especially heavy hauls across remote areas.

Help me. I’m confused. Is the author saying that 1% of the people who are diagnosed with it will die? (That’s how I read it at first).

Or is he saying that 1% of everyone will die? Maybe that sounds like a dumb question, but I honestly don’t know if everyone is using the term “mortality rate” the way I think of it (which for me, until recently, was the first option above).

I guess I don’t even know if it makes a difference. Won’t we all be exposed to it anyway, if we haven’t already? Some of us may never know if we were, and others (sadly) will know straightaway.

If we can assume that nearly all of the USA (for instance) will be exposed and “catch” it, whether tested positive or not, then is the second version of “mortality rate”, in effect, the same as the first?

I’m only asking because I honestly don’t know and there is so much speculation and confusion out there. Hoping that someone on HN who is much experienced (and maybe in the world of medical stats) can clarify this for me.
The main thing I wanted to know is how they got hacked:

Troia said the intrusion into his service [was] because his developer accidentally left his credentials exposed in documents explaining how customers can use Data Viper’s application programming interface. “I will say the irony of how they got in is absolutely amazing,” Troia said.
Thanks! And I haven’t tried that use-case specifically but you can definitely fetch any data in a component’s JS and use it to populate its markup. Basically what you’d expect of a cloud IDE, but with the added benefit of managing the components individually.
6% of infected people in Orange County, California are children 0-17 - this is after many restrictions. Even if the percentage stays at 6% after schools reopen, we're talking about a huge ripple effect on the whole population. Unlike adults, kids really can't follow strict measures - America is no Finland, no Sweden, no Asia!
The great recessions was definitely one of the worst, but it was followed by the longest bull run in the history of the united states and it is way to early to claim this crisis as being one of the worst recessions in US history.
You're only an asshole when you're in opposition to me :-P
The whole interview was fascinating, but what I found most interesting was when he was talking about a "post PC world" (as in post desktop/laptop). He envisioned a world in which 95% of casual computing was done on a tablet or phone.

He said PCs would still be there for work, but most consumers won't own one, just like all vehicles used to be trucks, until people moved to cities and switched to cars, and now some people use trucks but most people use cars.

The other really interesting part was when he talked about the need for paid journalism, and how he "doesn't want to live in a society that's just bloggers". Even a decade ago he could see the danger in most people getting their news from un-curated, un-vetted content.

Absolutely agree. My SG was the best guitar I’ve ever played. Stupidly I sold it when moving once. I’ll always regret that.
He wasn't really an .....

oh never mind.
Fascinating. That's aligned with a few intuitions I had.

The atmosphere of philosophical debate was definitely alive during the time of Shankara. At what point between then and now did it die out?
I’ve enabled just public repos for now, and individual repo access is next on my plate.
Your pollution non-argument It's completely irrelevant. I never mentioned pollution anyway. They could get the energy from clean fusion reactors or magic unicorn generators. Someone still has to pay for it. The hobbyist would collectively need to pay millions per day just for the energy. Even today with probably around 100 Million Bitcoin owners that would lead to several dollars per person per day. That half the Netflix user base paying their monthly subscription every day. Do you seriously thing people will do that? For a funny alternative money hobby thing. It's absurd. Its entirely running on its own printed bitcoins which slowly fade to zero block reward.
Looks like Deno ripoff
I guess you mean similar in terms of tactical role? Certainly not in tech, besides being both being relatively large guns.
Probably some code I wrote to see how long a for loop would take in js looping a billion times. Not too exiting either
Isn’t most Virginia governance at the county level?

I live in NY, and each town or city gets to negotiate franchise agreements that always favor the telcos. You have to wield a big stick with these companies, who divide and conquer.

In my cities case, in exchange for some bullshit (public access tv and filming equipment for the high school) gave Spectrum an exclusive contract for TV.

So Verizon brought FIOS to every town around us, and we’re stuck in the internet ghetto.
Audit hooks have a different use case. Here, in this article, we see described a way to package up the interpreter as part of the payload. This is very traditional malware, they 'bring their own binary' so to speak.

A much more modern, and statistically far less common approach (say, top 15% of malware), wants to bring less to the system. Instead, they leverage existing mechanisms for execution - some of this is covered in LOLBAS (Living of the Land Binaries and Scripts).

Interpreters such as Powershell, bash, Python, ruby, even perl, are used by attackers to run their payloads.

There are a number of advantages. For one thing, if you're monitoring the system for new binary executions, it'll appear as just a Python interpreter - often quite normal on a number of systems. You also don't need to set any sort of execution rights, or drop executable files - just a regular, plain old python file.

But the downside is now you're using the system's interpreter, and you have to follow the interpreter's rules. Powershell really kicked this approach off since it was a favorite of malware authors, and Python followed suit with this. As a much newer implementation, with 3.8 being an extremely recent release, it's not so surprising that there are bypasses. Still, you'd be surprised how few attackers will take the time to do so (and how few orgs will monitor their Python interpreters anyways).
If anyone finds this intriguing and happens to be in the DC Area, the NSA's crypto museum has 2 Engima machines and one of the US built bombes (which used a moderately different design than the British ones).

The bombe exhibit is cool, but the enigma machines are a highlight because you can actually use them. Because encryption and decryption are the same function (kinda like CTR mode), it's pretty easy to generate a string of gibberish that makes the display light up with profanity (don't forget to roll back the rotors). Fun for all ages!
Yes, easily, though the crisis in Greece started about the same time Bitcoin was created and lasted a few years after that.

The capital appreciation on this basket of global currencies has not moved an inch, interest rates worldwide are even lower today.

Meanwhile BTC has averaged 250% gains annually.
Yea exactly, no amount of exercising will change your height as a man or the way you look.

E.g All else being equal, you're going to have a hard time finding a partner if you are 5'5 male.

Unfortunately, unattractive people will have to put in a lot more effort to succeed in life, especially with regards to dating.
Here in Romania we've always called it Cehia, which sounds a lot like Czechia, so it feels more natural now.
Completely agree, and feeling most of these pain points in the medical device / diagnostics industry as well. There are so many black boxes and unknown-unknowns in this space, especially when it comes to developing indications and navigating regulatory interactions.
That's a main driver of why we built Essenvia (https://www.essenvia.com/#/), which automates the creation and submission of all regulatory docs required for medical device approval. We're expanding next into other aspects of the industry (complaint handling, compliance testing) as well as adjacent industries (environmental, pharma, etc.).
While this is true, it's also true that significantly fewer families can do it now than could in 1970.

It's also true that the most predictable factor when it comes to student performance in school is household income.
> Removing master/slave from tech seems 100% correct. Removing all uses of the word "master" like Darth Vader "I was but a learner but now I am the master" seems wrong and if we aren't going to remove all of them then why are we remove it from git since like those others usages it and zero relation to the problem?

Given that GitHub and git-scm approved of removing this somewhat "problematic" terminology despite the original context being unrelated to master/slave, etc. Where would you draw the line on replacing these terms?
I feel like the concept of deschooling was written without taking into mind the actual humans behind the curtains. The idea of removing schools in favor of self-guided education seems like a good idea at first, but ignores the numerous factors that would make it hard for a lot of people to actually do so on their own.

For example most of my middle and high school life was spent being severely depressed due to various life circumstances. School was more or less a routine affair that allowed me to disconnect briefly from my home life and without that escape I likely would've simply stopped learning altogether.
Does anyone have a problem with their AirPods (not Pro) suddenly seeming dead silent? I've cleaned my AirPods very carefully and they are spotless. I've also had my ears cleaned out, but my AirPods seem to be whisper quiet. I've done all the tricks of trying to reconnect and disconnect and checked all the volume settings. Any advice here would be really welcome.
I've noodled the idea of a pl/pg_rust, but the whole "Cargo.toml" and downloading dependencies from the internet seems bad.

I see what you're saying about no_std tho. Could be doable.
I’ve read that Rolls Royce is going to be using 3D metal printing on their upcoming Advance3 engine. If it’s good enough for those operating conditions then it should be good enough for anything.
Thanks - this is very useful. Any idea how I can adapt this to download articles behind paywalls? For instance for bookmark archival?
You clearly has not been on job hunt :)
Isn’t it usually a matter of just googling the title?
And the following question is do you honour LSP (Liskov substitution principle)

In other words can you freely swap out derived classes you didn’t know about when you wrote the base class.
No, it was "THE INTERNET DIRECTORY" by Eric Braun. From 1994.

Mea culpa, it seems like the World Wide Web section was a list of public clients and I don't see a listing of websites. However, it did attempt to list most other resources on the internet.

Its still true though my public IP is 157.x.x.x while behind NAT it's 25.x.x.x

25.x is assigned to UK defence ministry as per the thread. Any ideas?
Yes. While submitting technical tests for backward job interviews. Other than that, nahhh not really. It’s a hangover from OOP 1.0
No one can seem to agree on how much Uber and Lyft drivers get paid
I bought WH-1000XM3 and satisfied for superior NC quality but I don't like its sound profile like boosting bass and poor other sounds while boosting bass.

Finally I realized that I need NC for removing some fan noise like HVAC and server but I don't need superior one. I got Beoplay H9i for $300 and satisfied for both. Fewer battery life is cons.
Funny that you say that — I have a neighbor complaining about preserving old telephone poles, because she feels the new ones are too high, and the color stands out.
Good luck to you... I have always heeded the advice of just holding through any downturns, so far that advice has served me well.

We actually had a similar case in Germany. The law office Urmann & Collegen sent out collection letters to a lot of people for allegedly violating copyright by watching a porn movie. As this didn't work out well they threatened to publicise a 'list of foes', making the names of the alleged violators public.

Luckily, this was prevented, but things got even more absurd when it turned out that the method used to find the violators was probably violating german law (they claimed to have a secret method of getting the IP without cooperation of either the user or the platform).

It's unclear if Signal is already storing contact lists serverside or not with the pin change, and not having clear messaging around that is part of the problem. Also Moxie suggested in the twitter thread that even if you disable the pin you'll end up with a device-generated key and contacts will still sync.
A "blue collar" business owner with multiple properties isn't really a great example either.
I'm not arguing against your thesis that the boomer generation overall basically extracted resources from future generations (and their parents who lived through the depression and at least 1 world war), I'm just saying that there are lots of individual boomers who didn't have lucrative careers or happen to own property in the right places, and you don't seem to know any of those people (which is fine of course).
I'd be inclined to agree.

That said, it'd be easy to prototype with pgx, assuming that compression library exists in the Rust ecosystem too?

It’s not really important. You really need to focus more on what you and the other person are actually doing on the call. Seriously.
Yes, and the PBGC exists because so many of the pay as you go pensions went under.

Also, social security has required many changes that decrease benefits over the years to remain solvent, such as increasing the expected retirement age.
On one hand, I think the 59 Les Paul would be valuable to people who collect those sorts of rare things regardless of whether they actually intend to play it.

On the other hand, I could see that for some successful performers, the purchase could be a sound financial investment if fans are just a bit more excited about hearing their favorite musician playing a rare instrument live than they would otherwise be. One might be able to recover the purchase price of the instrument through increased ticket sales.
