Colecovision technical specs are better than the Mattel Intellivision, which are better than the Atari VCS.

The Colecovision has the same video chip as the MSX 1 systems, TI-99/4A, Thomson MO5 & TO7, and Oric, and the same sound chip as the BBC Micro, IBM PCjr, Tandy 1000 and Sega game consoles.

The Mattel Intellivision video chip was not used in other systems. The sound chip was used in the Apple II Mockingboard, MSX 1, Oric, Vectrex, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum 128.

That's the whole point of OAuth - you don't enter your credentials on "some random website", but you only have to enter your credentials on the identity provider's site. Frankly I trust Google and Facebook to keep my credentials secure a lot more than some random website.
Early on it was due to price, and the main contribution from China was in low cost final assembly work. For the first half dozen or so iPhones about a third to half of the value of the device, including for several models the CPU (Samsung plant in Texas) and Gorilla Glass (Corning in NY), was in components actually manufactured in the USA. The cost of final assembly in China was only a few dollars per device. These variables have changed though as Chinese manufacturing technology and skills have steadily climbed up the value scale.
The title seems very misleading to me, because much more than "regular meditation" was involved.

Here is how they describe the study in the article:

> The study was conducted at a resort in Southern California... The mindfulness intervention was an established meditation and yoga retreat consisting of 12 hours of meditation, nine hours of yoga, and self-reflective exercises over a week. The participants were divided into three groups of about 30 each: experienced meditators, women who had never meditated, and a group who simply “went on vacation.” The 30 “vacation participants” listened to health lectures and then did fun outdoor things for a week.

> At the end, all three groups (vacation, novice, and regular meditators) showed statistically significant improvements in scores of stress and depression, which were measured using well-established and commonly used questionnaires. If we stop there, it seems that vacation is just as good as mindfulness exercises for stress reduction and mood lifting.

> But what’s really striking are the result from 10 months later: the regular meditators still showed significant improvements on these scores, the novice meditators even more so. However, the vacationers were back to baseline. The researchers had ensured that all three groups were equal in average age, education level, employment status, and body mass index. This finding is in keeping with prior research showing that vacation has beneficial but very temporary effects, and that mindfulness therapies have sustained beneficial effects.

He doesn't really address the biggest issue I (and many of my colleagues) have faced with remote work.

If you're head down on a coding task or writing a document or doing some piece of design... having your own space is amazing. I love that I can work at home (put music on speakers, not headphones) and just go for it.

But it sucks for collaborative meetings. There is really no substitute for getting people in a room with a whiteboard.

Yeah, there are online whiteboards and video conferencing and whatever, but they still aren't as good and likely never will be (at least until we get some kind of amazing VR/AR workspace).

I'm curious as to how other people have solved this.
This is a very informative article, but it has one major deficiency.

I have a general rule that when we are looking at something going bad in our country, one of the things to do is look at how the issue is handled in other countries, like are they doing it better or worse, and what can we learn from that that might help us decide what to do here.

With that in mind, the article should have covered how this whole corporate debt issue is handled in other countries. Are they doing better or worse? Perhaps someone who has some knowledge here could make a comment.

Do you think moral posturing as a means to gaining political and/or social capital when nothing is at stake is of any real value? Because that’s what virtue signalling is, and that’s what most people fighting the good fight in these comments are doing.
Lots of good citations so the message here seems well informed. Does anyone have good recommendations for Chinese history volumes? Anything that offers a high-level survey of the past 3000 years, to give me a framework for further investigations, would be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to let my five downvoters know; I'm sure that that "not hostile" will change their minds.

HN is hostile to people like Swartz who actively work to tear down information silos, shine light on government and corporate secrets, and advocate for intellectual property reform.

It's not an accident that shit_hn_says, n-gate, /r/SneerClub, and other critics of HN, can make most of their commentary simply by quoting HN discussion and juxtaposing it next to basic paraphrases of what was said; so much of what's said here is rude towards the rest of the world that merely quoting the discussion is sufficient to highlight its farcical and close-minded nature.
Well there is also a "quantity vs quality" aspect of tasks akin to the difference between a group of house painter and a skilled artist. The single skilled artist would lack the throughput.

It is possible to some degree "team stack" to boost quality over any component larger group but it is inefficient and tends to have worse results than a smaller scaled more skilled one.

Of course in the real world many things require a mix of both effectively - too much labor for one or a small group of experts but too complex for an amateur horde to handle.
Yea, it always tickles me when people discover that every group with adverse incentives ends up corrupt. Almost _everyone_ is corrupt. It's rare to find a person holding a single damn principle, which is why incentive design is so important.

Mastering the Core Teaching of the Buddha might be up your alley. I won't strictly "recommend" it, as the path it espouses is intense and engineered for enlightenment, which is (perhaps ironically) "no fun", in contrast to modern western mindfulness meditation with phone apps which is pleasant and relaxing but won't get you anywhere. But if you want results and are willing to put in the work (which is 1000x the effort of just reading the book), you could give MCTB a shot. Either that or join a Zen monastery for a couple years :)
Google made $162 billion last year. GSuite would be a little over 0.5% of their revenue if that were the case. How much of that would translate to profit?

I would think though GSuite/Chromebooks would be a success story because of the education market.
It was regular as in practiced on a regular basis. It's a key term since as you might guess, one-off meditation is much less potent.
The Qt port for WebAssembly still has zero accessibility support, e.g. for blind people with screen readers. Assuming Wt is using standard HTML form controls, it shouldn't get in the way of accessibility. Of course, the app developer still needs to follow good accessibility practices, such as labeling images and not conveying information through color alone.

Ask HN: Cheap and Reliable API for Building a Bank?
Hi,

I'm looking for some more information on what people think are the best banking setup APIs. I'm considering a few different options:

1. Stripe - I've used it a bit in the past. Easy to use but I'm a bit worried about costs, 2.9% is high.

2. SynapseFi - I'm curious if anyone has used this product/API? I couldn't find any pricing on their site either.

3. Any others people can recommend that I can check out.

I'm looking for the cheapest API to quickly spin up a financial service (and hoping to avoid larger fees) and thought people here might have some suggestions. Thank you.

The other poster answered this I think pretty succinctly. But I’m sure you could get a $100+ bottle of wine at pick-your-random-chain-restaurant similar to Chili’s or whatever is in that range, where there is certainly zero company-mandated difference in service regardless of what one orders.
great unless you want to use it as a vpn to watch Hulu from abroad haha. They require you to use a set of specific providers, which are all blocked by Hulu.

I ended up using openVPN on a home raspberry pi, but I want to figure out how to deploy IPSec or ZeroTier rather than OpenVPN
The closest I've ever come to really using a "technique" to meditate was in college when one of my roommates went to a transcendental meditation retreat and tried to teach us how to meditate like he did at his retreat.

The last time I tried meditating though was on the headspace app though I'm not sure what technique you would call that.

The vibe I'm getting is that the best way to get started with meditating is probably to go to a teacher or a retreat neither of which I have tried so maybe there is hope yet!
Dark Season 3 Ending Explained (Spoilers)
Personally I saw it as a semi-sarcastic equivalence noting the lack of differences and a note about the Chinese Room. It is like describing human capabilities as equivalent to a black box algorithm - we might not know how our brain parses 2 + 2 = 4 but we know that it calculates and must follow some sort of procedure.
I’ve never heard those used in a context of one being good and the other bad, only being different tools. It seems far less likely to cause concern without a value judgement.

Apple should be responding. If a third party library is leading to massively downgraded performance of user's devices, Apple should be warning developers that their apps could be rejected if they don't guard against the broken behaviour.

The fact developers can't do anything is a good reason not to use the SDK, not just to accept the problem.

If this continues to happen regularly Apple will start taking measures to stop the problem - and banning apps is a (very unlikely) possibility.

So, Wt is about having the server do a bunch of computational work for rendering the UI. Now, I'm not a web developer, so I may be talking nonsense, but I don't see how that's reasonable:

1. It doesn't scale, or if you're rich - it's annoying to scale.
2. It interferes with the client/user's ability (albeit theoretical) to decide how they want to present the information
3. It seems to go against what are, or used to be, the principles of the web: Interlinked, clear-text, markup which the client renders as it sees fit.
This is very untrue, even if we take nobody as a little overstatement, half of the election prediction models had him above 10% chance of winning (FiveThirtyEight had him at 29%, https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/upshot/presidential...).

WBUR, Boston's NPR news station, published in their blog "Cognoscenti" an article titled "Why Donald Trump will Win in November" in May of 2016 (https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2016/05/06/election2016-tru...). I can't think of anything more representative of what people think of as the left leaning intellectual class than a Boston NPR blog with a Latin title.

This idea that him winning in 2016 was inconceivable to media/intellectual circles is a bit of revisionist history.
The Small Business Roller Coaster
Laws/Declarations etc is moot when Britain took HK as colony through weapon & war, after the 1840 opium war. Remember, the British tried to sell opium to China, the government at the time refused to take the shit the British merchants tried to sell to China, and the British was like you know what, I'll shove this down your throat. It's so weird when people talk about HK, they don't talk about how it all started, or as if they take colony and war as granted.
Good thing China has nuclear these days : )
No need to get defensive here — the point is still valid that risks are being placed on workers that would otherwise be on the company. For example accidents, sickness, etc.
I keep hearing this, and I've had this impression myself. But I've ben running a small ZK ensemble for two years just to support a Kafka cluster. Between them, ZooKeeper has been much less trouble, almost zero problems.
Why Intel did not buy ARM is something that puzzles me...

In 2016 ARM sold to SoftBank for $31B.

In 2016 Intel had a market cap of ~$170B and about $17B cash on hand. I'm no M&A analyst but surely given their fundamentals at the time Intel could have bought ARM without financial difficulty, no?

If even Facebook can look two steps ahead and pay an eye watering $19B for WhatsApp couldn't someone in the C-level at Intel could have seen that owning ARM would have been a jolly good strategic purchase - or am I missing something?
Blacklist originated in 17th Century English literature https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklisting so are people now just arguing against any use of the word Black?
His background is very poor (family on welfare). He used his brain to get into Facebook, his social skills to move up the ladder there and get enough equity to cash out to fund investing. I'd say his is the American dream.
Fair enough. Relying on the sale of either x86 based systems or devices with a large form factor seems like a questionable business plan to me as well.
I think this is the real problem with "AI" and implemented algorithms. It's not that they're biased or whatever, or that they'll target certain people, etc. That's a small % problem. We have the ability to fight that and fix it. And I'm sure we will, because it doesn't really cost us dearly to make things more equitable.

No, it's that these algorithms will squeeze every living cent of inefficiency out of a system and pit person against person on who's more willing to work just a little harder for a little less. To take the momentary breaks out of your day, make sure you're working every second. Because those things mean real cash to some person watching the dollars flow in. Turning up the person-utilization % factor or job bid price -- who's going to police against that? Go and celebrate the equality of working to the bone for an unspecified wage.

It's interesting how society goes in waves of dog-eat-dog, every-man-for-himself, until you reach some period of relative prosperity, rest, relaxation, and then something happens to turn the clock back (or forward) some more.

In the meantime, let those profits flow in!
> This sounds like a store I’d love to visit in person—so many obscure items that are probably too difficult to price correctly. You’re bound to find a gem eventually. Even if it isn’t worth the time you spend, it’s probably a lot of fun!

Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough, but when I went there a few years ago, it was pretty hard to find anything that was actually a good deal. The vast majority of the store is "normal" stuff (mostly random clothing and books) that's priced about the same as everywhere else, and even the obscure items are surrounded by crowds of people who have already looked over everything.

I don't doubt that if you went enough times, you might eventually find something under-priced, but for the most part it's just a somewhat-overpriced thrift shop (and not particularly fun, IMO).

Black-box only testers are less technically skilled that those capable of white-box testing as well.

(If that sounds flimsy, well, so does the blacklist/whitelist controversy.)
Marx eventually settled on the position that it is not the conditions per se but the mechanisms that lead to them that are the issue, as they will always lead to the same fundamental problems. Which is the case - an IT worker has the same fundamental conflicts as a factory worker. At a certain level, losing these conflicts despite nominally better conditions doesn't necessarily lead to better outcomes.

If Marx was still alive today, I think that he would answer the question about how modern workers have such better conditions than those in early capitalism the exact same way as when people in his time said that proletarian had better conditions than the peasants before them, which was nominally true.

In any case, the prescriptions of how a 19th century proletarian could improve their life are essentially the same. The idea is that the interests of your employer will always he opposite yours, as a result you will only be able to improve your conditions by organizing with your fellow workers in order to tip the balance of power, and eventually it is in your interests to change the conditions that lead to this conflict to begin with.
All these is to say, I don't believe at all that Britain cares about democracy in HK. It's all virtue signaling and economic/political incentives.
Yeah, and they're already shipping custom chips (like the T2) in their intel laptops.

A Gamechanger
And you need not defend anything from an an elitist aristocrat like me. We don't live in the same reality—and that is okay. Because there are multiple realities. Unless you wish to object to this notion and assert, like an imperialist, that there is only one reality and that I have to "necessarily conform" to it. Otherwise, you may subscribe to your reality of God given rights, goods, and societies while hyper-reality cosmos-nauts traverse their higher and incomprehensible planes of existences like Lovecraftian antagonists.
I should have added 'with a charter' - and then, corporations are literally just that - formalised groups working together with some ostensibly stated purpose.

The legal enfranchisement of such organisations is something contextual to the establishment of broader legal frameworks, which happened later in civilisation (i.e. Modern Era), but even then, one could apply the same ideal to Noble Houses, which derived their 'charters' from various agreements with the Sovereign. Like for example in the Magna Carta.

These 'more fine grained legal articulations' of groups did not change the nature of what such groups were, they just put some boundaries around them.

Merchants were merchants before they were codified as 'Corporations'.

If anything, the modern notion of 'Corporation' actually does not derive very well from such organisations at all! Corporations with 'shares' are a neat legal construct to allow several businessmen to invest in something like a voyage from Venice to somewhere in Asia, whereby the surpluses will be divided upon return, and the corporation would cease to exist. Which is where we derive the term ''Executive Officers' -> of ships!

The 'economic entities' that produced large warships in Antiquity for example, are in every practical sense - corporations - and certainly for Charlie's purposes of comparison to AI, it's exactly the same thing.

There was no aspect to Charlie's 'formalised, legal' definition of a corporation which had anything to do with his AI comparison. He focused entirely on the organisational aspects, which predate the legal definition of corporations.
Personally I use login with Google because:
1. I “trust” google auth - I know they won’t store passwords in plaintext or anything funny like that
2. It’s a centralized place I can use to rotate my keys
3. I can revoke accounts

Signing up via email on each site means a password manager entry at a minimum, and probably no 2FA, or brute force resistance.
Indeed, it will be interesting to watch. Last time they had Steve to run the show.

If the last few years are to be a guide, it will crash and burn. Apple hasn't been developer and power user friendly for some time now. Focusing on thinner laptops while sacrificing the keyboard and the touchbar to name two. I've been hearing from developers being skeptic who are planning to buy before they switch to Arm.
Which is a different vibe when they switched to intel.

It could be a massive marketing stunt from MS when they announce a more like MacOS version of Windows which actually runs on Intel.
