But you don't have to sell it at $50 everywhere. The marginal cost of an additional subscriber is very low, particularly when the inter satellite link is enabled. If people can only afford $10 per month that is better than having no revenue at all in a particular area.

As part of just normal station keeping it might do that.
The post only mentions recognizing letters and digits, but no mention of the subject actually writing them. Since the subject was an engineer, maybe writing numbers would be a sort of mechanical thing, that could bypass that limitation? That would've been a nice addition to this study.
Zero should be the void
The sad part about it is many of the people who naturally achieve stuff in videogames could also be successful in life with a little therapy to overcome their avoidant personalities.

I know people who were heavy into WOW and decided to make life the real grind. They have done very well for themselves.
It is a first attempt to make a full solution open source radio that uses multiple antennas.

I believe all current high performance radios in this space are super duper proprietary, with near no data on how they work in open access.
JCVD is "The muscles from Brussels". He's Belgian.
The barrier is actually quite high. Sure, its easy to make a CRUD app that would aggregate ratings. The difficult part is to get people to use it instead of the leader. These are called network effects, and they are very hard to break.

This is why big social media sites have such high valuations. Any small group could develop an alternative to Facebook. However, the chances of that usurping them is almost zero. The same goes for Goodreads.
The rise, fall, and rise of the status pineapple
There was a study in the Netherlands or Denmark which came to the conclusion that such people viewing this content or exercising their creativity in producing it can help to divert them from attacking children.
The barrier was not high. Now that it’s baked into Kindle (automatic sync, instant review, etc), Goodreads has a significant moat.
Don't know much of that. The ISP I work for just buys stuff from vendors and puts interface layers on top of it, which what I work with. I've seen some ground work and people just works with modules.

I don't deny the value of such project as this modules cost some big money (and licenses), but unless they really do a very good job it will introduce too much complexity IMO. You can also call someone at $vendor and cry in their shoulder.

It's already tiresome to work with different vendor quirks.
I'd argue that fulfillment is the variable here and it seems to be what you're describing.

Spending a weekend on a programming project for fun can almost feel like the height of self-actualization to me. A pure intellectual challenge that makes me feel good and gives me a real proving ground. And I almost always look back on it and am proud of my effort even if I don't accomplish what I wanted.

Meanwhile it's too easy to spend empty, unfulfilling time in games. My time in World of Warcraft was wasn't self-actualization but more narcotic entertainment. It was less challenge and more empty feelgood treadmill. It felt good at the time, but not a year later. And it was addicting and easy in a way that programming (creation, exertion) is not. Even when I got into add-on development (which produced some fulfillment), that was only a small fraction of my time spent playing.

I don't think the point needs to be that one is always good and the other is always bad. But my advice to my former self and young people would be to beware of games. Ideally we all have a creative outlet that gives us real fulfillment. Even if you get sucked into games, hopefully it can redeem itself as a creative outlet rather than leave you in a narcotic-like rut.

I think Joe's comments make perfect sense if you see it as a letter to his former self and thus young people in general. I just remember when I was a heavy gamer, I hated acknowledging that yeah, I kinda am wasting my time, and it's not fulfilling. My parents were right, but it's a hard pill to swallow when it's one of the only things you've found that excites you (and you've stopped looking).

On the other hand, I think a lot of life advice is too hard to apply and better experienced yourself. Sometimes you just have to spend a year in an MMORPG in your teens, quit it, and then think "yeah, what a waste of time that was." And you learn a good lesson about how you want to spend your time. The danger is that I have two friends in their 30s who never quit, and it shows. Never had girlfriends, never traveled, slave to games, seem miserable -- and it's hard for me to see how they are setting themselves up for life fulfillment. And I think that matters.

That's all I have to say on the topic. To avoid spamming my PoV any more in these threads, this was my last one.
Where do you get up to date satellite imagery?
Are they well stocked, too? We've got plenty of those around Paris, especially close to parks and green squares. They often look empty. And in any case, people don't seem to have their own bags either.

I don't have hard numbers, but it's generally a good idea to look where you step on the sidewalks. Although it's true that subjectively it seems somewhat better than a 5-10 years ago.
> It scared the crap out of me from all the HN stuff I'd read.

Probably that's why you were successful. Lots of people make mistakes because they don't understand how important it is.
I bet they’ll start investing in backup solutions right about now.
Simpler stuff like debug C heap, and checked iterators in C++ standard library, catch 95% of memory corruption issues in C++. These are enabled by default in debug builds, very often just pressing F5 in visual studio finds the buggy line of code in a matter of seconds.

Valgrind is Linux-only, I don’t have it. One Windows equivalent is memory profiler under Debug / Performance Profiler / Memory Usage in visual studio, Rust is not supported by visual studio. A cross-platform equivalent is Intel VTune Profiler, no support for Rust either.
I don't have a horse in this race, but surely it could only be bad for those regions, right? There's a whole world of applications involving NLP which non-English speakers don't have access to.
Are you sure it isn't actually at the forefront of the discussion? Because I remember reading quite a lot of stuff during the past 2-3 years on the effects of porn on young adults.
Just as arguably that option should be an explicit opt-in by the application developer.
Oh cool. I could have used this a couple of years ago when $Company was launching a new $product and I was working a lot of overtime and weekends. Not so much this year though with chroma virus there's not much work to do. Definitely not reaching overtime. Hope the future improves and overtime tracking becomes a thing again.
The point is that the "brainstorm" bit can also sound like "green needle" if you focus on it.
if your adversary has broken your TLS then they can also intercept cookies or inject code to capture the plain text.

Pretty much this. If you’re stealing a password in transit, you can just steal the auth token instead, and that attack would bypass MFA. If you compromise the server, you’re well past caring about the individual passwords anyway because you can just serve a version of the client code that doesn’t hash on the client side. If you’re phishing the user, it doesn’t matter what the client normally does because the fake login probably isn’t going through your code. If you’re trying to safeguard against CSRF or a related attack, again either the client code got injected or they’re just using your auth token and don’t care about your password

You could salt and hash again on the server side, but its benefits are marginal. But if you don’t salt and hash on the server side, because you did it on the client side, then you have a known vulnerability (“pass the hash”).
>There are a ton of terminal emulators out there based on HTML5, CSS, and Javascript, little Chromium apps and similar.

Just not those people really care about -- except maybe the one in VSCode.

And of course, they are not those that Alacritty competes with and alludes to being faster to.

"Faster than HTML5-based terminals!!!" would be a pretty low bar, if not embarrasing as a motto...
Democrats attack on the US was more successful than Japan or Germany in WWII.
> When everyone has a voice, it's hard to know what to listen to. ... The weirdest part is, misinformation != lying. Most people spreading misinformation genuinely believe it.

Mostly agreed. There also many times when people should look at what they just wrote and say, "maybe I don't know enough about the topic to publish about it."

To choose a non-controversial topic: I have recently found the time to explore programming for microcontrollers. So much of the information that I come across is a simple rehash, to the point where it is clear that people are writing about their own experiences as soon as they learn about it. There is no depth of knowledge, which is problematic when the accuracy of information depends upon the details.

The problem of figuring out who to listen too usually comes down to figuring out who to filter out. In some cases it may be easy to do because the tone or content indicates the scope and accuracy of their knowledge. Unfortunately, it is a time consuming process since you have to hear what they are saying before you can decide whether they are worth listening to.
Why wouldn't they? Businesses didn't go through any magical transformation over the last 30 years that would unbreak them. I think it's just a consequence of size: the larger your company is, the less individual contributions matter on the margin, and thus it's easier to coast undetected while not doing anything.

Arguably, the modern obsession with metrics and monitoring is creating even more waste than there was before, as managers invent bullshit metrics, and employees perform fake-work to optimize for them.
Super helpful breakdown, thank you! And to OP for asking
The article focuses on "fake fitness": the false sense held by gamers that their gaming activities promote fitness and success in the real world.

The article aims to show that this sense is indeed false.

Porn consumers don't generally share a sense that porn consumption improves their real-world fitness and success. You could make a separate argument against porn consumption, but the "fake fitness" argument the article makes doesn't apply to porn addiction.
A lot of software doesn't have a CPU fallback path, because (1) the no/unsupported GPU case is very rare (2) performance on the CPU will be too bad to be of any use.
> I'd love to hear from the HN experts if that is a very bad idea

Yes

Put these users/passwords in the database like all the other users so that you can shut them down when the passwords leak to the public.
What struck me is this:

> I can't help shake the feeling that somewhere, the software I use is being developed solely by volunteers who would rather quit, but don't have the ability to say "no".

I've witnessed a number of developers similarly burn out in the last years. This suggest either the opensource movement attracts people prone to such burn-outs or that it produces them. The general reaction tends to be a bit of sympathy mixed with a hard-nosed "Well, it's difficult. Some make it, some don't" attitude. Yet given the trend we seem to ignore a fundamental flaw in how we're working, interacting, consuming, supporting, and rewarding one another. Even Shuttleworth cited a kind of opensource community fatigue when he killed off the phone project. It disappoints me to think that the opensource world talks a lot about freedom at the same time we have Omar's suggestion that those working in it really are not free.
YouTube channels do have their own feeds, but there's no obvious way to get to them.

If it's a small channel, you can just copy the channel ID. Visit their YouTube channel, look at the URL, and construct your URL like this:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

If it's a larger channel, then the channel ID will be replaced by custom string and you'll have to look at the page source to find the channel ID.

You can also export all of your channels as OPML, which is actually documented (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6224202?hl=en) and upload it to your RSS reader.
Let’s pretend like this isn’t an attempt to REstore a network for communicating over the head of the uninitiated.
gamers don’t insult other peoples’ hobbies as often

That’s not been my experience. From what I’ve seen, gamers insult anyone and everyone who doesn’t fit in with them. They also insult each other as a form of bonding, though the tone is way less nasty than the one they reserve for outsiders.
Isn't "conscious mind" just shorthand for "frontal lobes" ?

If we can detect the brain solving a variety of things without ever hitting the frontal lobes then that's pretty interesting.
Well if they spend or invest the $200 billion, it will end up in someone else’s bank account and will be redistributed throughout the economy from there too.
Fact: Democrats rigged the primary against Bernie and now they want to rig it against Trump. That's why dems say it's OK to riot but very bad to have a political rally of identicle size. They are fascists in the literal sense. Even forced injections is on their agenda just like Hitler.
There is a difference between political philosophy and being political.

A judge may be liberal or conservative but it doesn’t follow that they would represent a party platform.
The Crew Dragon is very similar to the Cargo Dragon that has already had nearly 20 returns from orbit without incident, so there is already quite a bit of experience in the systems that will be used tomorrow.
Almost all goals in modern society are synthetic. That's the core of Ted Kaczynski's argument for destroying it all. But most people see no problem with synthetic goals, which is a good thing when the alternative involves the death of billions.
You'd have to see all of the code to be sure, but the braces here are on the same line as the statement that opened the scope, except one case where the opening line was split. You don't have to approve, but there may at least be a reason.
I work in a language that only allows double quotes, but I still occasionally type a string with single quotes because that was the accepted style at my last job.

From what I understand, the global economy has become so intertwined that 90% of the time domestic and foreign markets will mirror each other anyways. The example I was given is that the Taiwanese life insurance industry is larger than the US mortgage industry and how they both affect global markets. I personally like a mix of S&P500, treasury bonds index, small cap domestic, and a foreign stocks index. And a good robo that gives me that mix with a 0.07% fee or whatever like VTI does could be great. But if the fees are higher than that, I’ll balance it myself.
I see this argument a lot. I have essentially zero ml experience, but isn't it fair to say that DNA indeed carries a similarly large amount of data? Also, it's not like any human is just born fully capable of inventing an entire language. It seemingly takes entire societies to pull this off.

Granted, our ml isn't even close to human intelligence yet. But why is the assumption made that humans are "trained" with very little data? We've collected millions of years of data to accomplish what we have.
You assume that username are unique in this DB, maybe they support multiple password :)
DDR can be crazy hard! If you try to reach a good level you definitely are at the level of exercises and techniques of a more general sport. Also, it doesn't have to be virtual versus real world, for example I found Ring Fit: Adventure on Switch to be a very good introduction to running, fitness, or yoga depending on the exercises that you select. It's a very fun way to setup a casual sport routine that you can then expend in something more serious if you want to.

Dialects are overplayed outside of china. Most average people can speak 2-3 just as part of growing up. Learning a new dialect is considerably easier than a Spanish person learning Portuguese or the nordics learning the other languages from the region.

For starters the written language is essentially the same between the chinese dialects - so learning a new one is mostly an exercise of mapping sounds and then learning new idioms. Passing as a native speaker though will be harder as the canto/mando split highlights.

You're right - latin's influence is still amongst us. Indeed I believe it was common to teach Germans Latin in the hope it would make them have a stronger technical appreciation of German. And the UK legal system has its roots in the Roman legal system.

That said I assure you Latin the language is far more arcane than the standard Chinese. Meanwhile in China, suntzu bingfa will be learned and referenced in culture and people have statues of zhugeliang and guanyu in their homes displayed at chinese new year. I haven't met a friend yet you has an Aeneas or Caesar displayed in their house.

Maybe Hercules and Zeus as figures are more prominent examples of people we have remembered but they aren't really celebrated in that first hand nature. I don't think Brits identify with Hercules or even Boudica. But I would posit chinese people do identify with the ancient greats like kongzi.

EDIT
I think the idea of identity is key. Interestingly the Chinese people in Singapore and Malaysia diverged from China ~150-200 years ago. But this sense of identity with the old chinese history has been preserved between both of them so you can't just write this off to CCP propaganda.

Perhaps culturally Chinese culture has always sought to unify/assimilate things into its monoculture whereas the history in Western europe has been a more fluid and accepting melting pot.
Yes since my cleaner stopped because of Covid.

You can’t automate that much but you can make manual stuff easier. Unsurprisingly this all costs money.

Floors:

I bought an Ecovacs Deebot n79s robot vacuum and it’s great for the price as stage 1 cleaning - this starts as I wake up.

I also bought a iRobot Braava 390t, some extra northstars, spare washing solution and generic cloths from eBay and this is stage 2 for floor tiles and wood flooring that starts after the vacuum finishes.

Surfaces:

We then use disposable wipes last thing every night on kitchen and table surfaces and everything is wiped onto the floor for the vacuum to deal with.

Windows:

I bought a Karcher window vacuum and that reduces the effort in cleaning windows and shower. I didn’t buy a window cleaning robot because they are pretty expensive.

I live in an apartment so no need for a robot lawn mower.

This tech has taken some annoyance out of cleaning and more importantly my place is cleaner than it would be because I’d have certainly not bothered on some days.
Could've been and overactive HR situation. Sometimes it's clear that it needs to end, but despite that clarity, the organisation dictates that there be PIP, which then kicks off a documentation period, and so on, which can in fact take months.
It's not impossible. SCRAM exists.

>Whatever the server receives, that's what the password is.

I'm not sure what you can do with a "password" that is only valid for a single login and tied to a specific certificate but hey if you want to ride on a technicality I won't stop you. The plain text password that the user types into the input field still remains unknown to the server.

FYI the mobile opera browser uses the webview and is superfast, but the Kindle app is all native code.
>Perhaps a little bit breathless, but it was an amazing thing at the time.

I bought the first kindle and I thought it was great but "amazing" is a bit much. E-readers already existed, Amazon's main selling point was their catalog and aggressive pricing. I mean the Sony Reader predates the Kindle and is technically fairly similar AFAIK: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Sony_Rea...

On top of that e-paper readers so far have effectively been a fad, conventional smartphones and tablets have taken over pretty dramatically. Paper books are also going nowhere. So the impact of the Kindle is negligible when compared to something like the iPhone, that completely changed the standard for a mobile phone.
Agreed! After all, look where we are posting :)

What I was trying to say, but didn't have the space to fully articulate, was that it can look a little noisy and random at first glance. As I write this some of the top threads include posts about replacing a toilet valve, herbicide use, and motivating a son in law. Once you filter through some of this though there are a lot of really smart people giving pretty good financial advice.
I learned recently that US housing generally gets 240V, but most circuits use neutral and a single hot to get 120V which is the standard mains in the country, and you'd run dedicated 240V for large appliances e.g. furnaces, dryers, electric oven, induction cooktop.

The AC would not have been planned for when designing the original circuits, so you would need to add a 240V circuit for it unless you put it in a room which already had one.

As the others have noted, since it's a high-power unit anyway you'd really want to have it on its own circuit to avoid adding too much load on the circuit. So even in europe you probably want a circuit exclusive to the AC, meaning you may have to run a new one unless an AC circuit had originally been run "just in case" (and even then it might not have been run to the room you wanted it in e.g. maybe the original builders put the circuit for an eventual AC in the living room but you want it in the bedroom you converted to a study).
