In a coal power corporation, you will not find anyone who actively promotes pollution. It is merely a side effect of their normal business.
> I think modularity is really key here. As long as you can replace or update each component individually without impacting the rest of it, you should be good.

That's exactly it: the ability to easily swap out components, and then high levels of interoperability. I think I perhaps didn't express myself so well because I'm broadly in agreement with you. It's the phone home aspect that often makes smart devices a problem.
> Pretty skeptical he can get this done via executive order

The president can (effectively) order CFIUS (the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) to review ownership on national security grounds, and if they determine that it constitutes a security risk CFIUS can order that it be divested.

This happened with Grindr last year[1] and the sale was closed in March.

In all seriousness, TikTok's Gen-Z userbase played a big role in a huge embarrassment for Trump recently, and given that there seems no end to his personal vanity and vindictiveness, I would not be surprised if this decision was rooted at least in part in vengeance against its users.

Thanks for checking out and for your comments ! Kyubin works like a queue with a capacity of only one item. To see what is inside the queue, you have to append an item to it. Doing so pops the previous item for you to read and replaces it with the one you just pushed.

Simple rules can create complex behaviours and I wanted to see what people could create with this.
Did you read the report? This hack involved spear phishing multiple employees who also had 2FA turned on. Good practices were in place. This was not some admin panel left open to the internet, that would be negligence.

You aren't getting only one half of the picture, you're getting an additional half.

Denouncing people who provide that other half as "suspect" is itself an attempt to ensure only one half of the picture is heard/accepted.
Why are random users allowed to attach USB drives? Is that normal? I would think any data going in or out should go through some centralized process? Sure, the Internet can be a loophole, but locking down physical access seems like an easy and obvious win.
To me it is even more exciting than ARM MacBook.

Airport Extreme was the last Router where I dont have to restart it every few months. It was stable, rock solid. And you only realise how much better it is once you switch to something else.

I wonder if it would still be based on NetBSD? And TimeCapsule?
Please allow me to address that in a different way: How do you intend to make such accomplishments come true unless you permit yourself to have a mindset which enables you to believe in yourself and work towards them?

The multiple replies you have here are well meaning and are trying to say that you need to at least be able to look at things from another perspective.

As for how a therapist can help: a good one is trained to allow you to see your own thought process and ask yourself questions about them. A good therapist has also probably seen many cases and has some education, training and experience in how to help people break out of some unhelpful cycles of thought. It is not an easy job and not every therapist suits every patient. Nevertheless, with the right therapist, if one is committed to improving one's own health, things can start getting better.

Please don't give up and have faith in yourself. I can not deny what you see as problems. However, please allow me to question if the way you are looking at them is unavoidable and whether it helps you find a path to somewhere else (figuratively speaking) where you'd rather be instead.
His engine is doing a pretty good job. I looked at the code and can't figure out how he gets stable multipoint contact for the pile of balls out of that. There's no linear complementary problem solver. There's no elaborate integrator. Yet it's resolving problems where balls are in contact with many other balls, and where many balls are constrained in multiple directions. Naive approaches to that usually go "sprong" and send something flying.

Maybe it's just using a really tiny physics time step. That allows forces to propagate through the whole pile over many time steps.
> Yes it is, it's Turing-completeness.

While this may be a sensible interpretation, and I am willing to believe it's used in that interpretation in some fields, I have a hard time actually finding a definition of that form.

I also have a problem with using it in this way: In circuits the size of the circuit limits your input size. But given a maximum size of the input, and no size limitations on the circuit, you can construct a circuit that produces the same result as a turing machine that halts. So you can compute whatever you want (i.e. arbitrary) but you are limited by the size of your current circuit.

(Completely unhelpful but always fun to look at for words: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=arbitrary+comp... )
Really tiring of this clickbaity nonsense infecting science and math. This analogy is so tenuous you could snap it with a feather.
Indeed: as it is said in the post, they had to give up on a feature because they could not implement it in time for their .99 version and they locked themselves in that system.
I'm not suggesting that people at any of the FAANG companies do those things on purpose. Those aren't the company goals. Even I wouldn't go that far. I'm saying that those things are outcomes of building systems to do mass surveillance to drive advertising or sell phones or broadcast information.

People at FAANG companies may well strive to minimise the negative impact of their activities but it clearly doesn't work very well given, well, /me gestures broadly at the tech industry.
This is also my experience, however, during my most recent interview, my cover letter was actually in front of the interviewer. That was a new experience for me.

> China has banned thousands of US companies

Which companies are you talking about?

> This is pure retaliation against China for not allowing US companies to operate there.

American companies have a massive presence in China. There's nothing comparable to it in the US. Imagine walking into a mall in an American city, and half the stores being Chinese. The reverse is the case in China.
When it comes to Spotify’s payment model I would rather that my $10 a month be split between the artists I listen to (based on number of plays) rather than the artists only getting $0.006 to $0.0084 for every play. I think for the more niche artists that can’t rack up the plays this model could be more sustainable. Thoughts?
Collision detection is well understood now, and quite fast for any convex shape. Look up "GJK algorithm". It's collision response that's hard.
Given you are talking about a country which had no qualms about kidnapping people from other countries and also holds people indefinitely without trial, I suppose you are right.
A saving of $100 from BOM would translate to $200 reduction in SRP. Remember this isn't just CPU, but CPU + Chipset and other smaller components.

Apple could easily make that saving and more. You can also look at iPad Pro selling price as reference.

Ask HN: No stress about performance, professionalism, or being fired?
After many years of not being successful at holding down jobs in some aspect of software development or another, I've sort of become desensitized to being let go or terminated from a position. After the first time, I have no regard or fear for the possibility that I might lose my job if I don't conduct myself somehow that isn't inherently important.

This results in me being much more comfortable in interviews, and speaking openly to my bosses, but obviously hinders me elsewhere.

Most of my friends have not been fired and do feel stress about that ever being a possibility, such that they are extrinsically motivated to modify their behavior to keep it. However for me, I won't feel that same stress, or stress about things that are out of my control or I've found a reason to think of a policy as arbitrary.

Other examples:
- Not thinking of anyone as superior or lesser than me. I just think of people as people with varying qualities. So far I haven't seen this as necessarily disadvantageous.
- Exams. If I feel confident that I know a thing, I'm not stressed about how I grade on it, or even completing it, if my only reason for being there is the grade. My brain seems to conclude that the exercise is trite, and then I kind of check out. This one seems more like a symptom of ADHD than anything.
- Taxes. After the last time I was terminated, I fell into a tricky/homeless financial situation, and obviously put my well-being ahead of anything else. I'm catching up now years later, but only because I now have the means to actually pay them and there isn't an alternative that is intrinsically more important.

It's very freeing, but also leads to a lot of volatility within a system that most adults have figured out.

Have any of you experienced this? How have you leveraged this or pivoted from it?
I can tell you why it is a good idea for me.

After having tried most (major) distros available over and over again, I decided about 2 years ago that I will just stick with Ubuntu in the future. Why is that?

- Stuff just works (better). No matter which hardware I used, Ubuntu was always the best out of the box configuration. I am getting to old to spend 2 days on setting up an obscure printer driver on arch e.g. These days I just want to be able to print as soon as I boot the first time and use my time for better things.

- It's polished. It just has the best desktop experience of all distros. The fonts look good. The theme does not look like a mess of things jumbled together.

- Most software is available in the repos or you can download a .deb package or use PPAs. The rest I can as usual just build myself.

The only "downside" for me is that it is not a rolling release.
Strange interview. As a Spotify customer this doesn’t give me that warm fuzzy feeling about supporting artists. It’s more likely to make me think twice about giving them my money.
It’s almost as if he was trying to annoy his artists and his customers. At best it comes across as pretty arrogant.
But you never walk in perfect circles(nor rectangles) and so you end up hitting the meatspace wall sooner or later. Perhaps VR itself could steer you away from walls as needed. Not sure if it's doable without the odd and moving angles creeping the user out.

For this scheme you need to trust the CPU (meaning its maker, its implementation, etc). The point of FHE is not trusting anybody.
> that you cannot really bypass the supply-demand law.

So you really think that the demand for, say, hip replacements, will grow indefinitely because the recipients don’t have to pay money for it?

> the nature compensates by limiting supply.

Which nature, and how does it limit supply? I can’t think of any reasonable interpretation of that statement that makes any sense.

There's nothing inherent in single payer systems that forces long wait times. And in my experience (Sweden), when you need care you get it. That in contrast with that it proved almost impossible to get to see an in-network doctor when I lived in Michigan.
I'm certainly not arguing all sentences should be concurrent. Most are, and I believe it's appropriate in this case.

HN commenter here who has spent a lot of time on TikTok as a relative wanted me to use it.

Hard disagree on the OP.

It’s like every social network starts out (more positive, no ads), but it has especially lowest-common-denominator content.

It’s brilliantly engineered to suck your time away, I’m genuinely very impressed how manipulative it is, really a big step up. And at least one young relative is totally addicted to it, far beyond anything I’ve seen with other networks, so it works.
> Apple’s App Store policies also limit 3rd party software’s ability to fuck up my devices in a myriad of ways.

And also makes apps like Tasker impossible, which from my side of the table is too much.

There should be a button somewhere in iOS called "safety belts off" and I should be able to do anything to a device I bought.
I'm partly happy and sad at the same time. 90% of the people in the Netherlands speek english and go to universities that are also fully english. When you suddenly see your favorite content with strange dutch translations it makes it worse (for me atleast) I would just have hoped that they would allow individual users to disable the community changes. When translating things there where always a lot of personal touches or words that where on purpose translated to something more funny in the other language. I always had the feeling there really was a person typing those translations. I understand why google would like to automate this. I just hoped that they would allow users to specify if they want to keep the personal translation the automated translation or nothing at al or a mix for example a option to never translate titles.
The clear winner is still OpenAI. Who's to say that established companies can do the exact same thing even with the OpenAI GPT-3 API.

I can see Google doing this and they also have many options here to remain competitive. They too can access this API, Google DeepMind can create another AI as a Service service similar to OpenAI or directly clone your idea as a feature in another product.

OpenAI has now become the AWS of AI services. I won't be suprised to see DeepMind thinking of doing the same thing.
If everyone had rolled its own OOP in C now we would have dozens of incompatible and hard to interoperate object systems, all trying to do in a library the same stuff C++ and Objective C do at compiler level. I understand doing simple IsA relations with casts, or using function pointers for virtual dispatching, because they are sane and clean. These guys basically implemented reflection and duck typing in C.

I think it's one thing to wrap that sort of thing inside your program; it's after all your project and you can do whatever you deem appropriate to make it work.
Using such a concoction in a library is kind of demanding everyone to deal with the mess you made if they wish to interact with your code, and it's a pretty different thing, IMHO.
GObject is very far from the beauty and simplicity of C that every one knows and love. It's also arguably vastly clunkier and uglier that Objective C or C++ are.
You don’t think the ARM Macbook of 2020 will be faster than the 2013 Intel based Macbook Pro?

Most "insider trading" is done by senior executives. As you observe, only non-connected "idiots" are ever prosecuted for insider trading. This "crime" is merely a way for corporate insiders to enforce penalties against those who defect from their conspiracy against the investing public. Non-insiders who trade on "inside" information release that information to the public, to the public's benefit, before the actual insiders are ready to profit at the public's expense.
I feel bad for realizing I give authors benefits of doubts and let them ramble for me to learn the point. I guess I need to drop my bar when I'm reading but a LOT of people ramble a lot. Almost every blog post I ready, I skip the first 2 paragraphs because they're just an intro/context which you already know from the headline or prior knowledge.
You replied with nonsense. The fact is China is good at one thing: ripping off other countries inventions. Name one high tech thing in the last 1,000 years invented in China - no, not iteration, but INVENTED. Since gunpowder, China has stagnated.

I never understood this whole "actor" thing until I had to write an extension for Mopidy. Then it really clicked with me.

It's very boilerplate-y (Mopidy uses Pykka) though and takes some time getting used to coming from other frameworks.
I think these people may still provide some value in the form of Retweet, Gossip, Views, Media, Hype, Clicks that helps marketing. In the world of Social Media just having your name known is better than totally unknown. And will funnel back to other places.
This is how I feel. It would be the first Apple hardware for me in almost two decades. It's definitely the nerd factor of the idea of having a well designed non-x86 laptop with good specs, but we're currently planning to evaluate arm based servers, so having that as your dev machine doesn't sound like the worst idea.

But I'm also exclusively using Linux nowadays, so I guess we'll have to watch this situation unfold for a while to see how viable running Linux on those is. I'm pretty sure it will be possible, but I'm not sure how much pain it will be.
Maybe I'm not thinking about it properly, but if they would discriminate based on my photo, they'll probably do so once they see me in the flesh and give me some excuse to not hire me.
I'd rather not go through the wasted effort of making it to a interview and they instead ghost me so I can focus on an employer that does want me.
You are protected by consumer credit laws with a credit card which puts responsibility on the retailer and card issuer. You can issue a charge back and it's their mess to sort out.

A debit card puts the onus on you. Your bank will probably help you but they're doing so for good customer service, not because the law tells them to.

If you are the victim of fraud or faulty goods, a credit card is on your side. Otherwise with a debit card you may have to rely on the courts.

Rule of thumb, use a credit card for everything but set it to clear the balance every month.
To the extent it’s “unfair” it benefits western countries.

They get the best of all worlds.

The Chinese are relegated to using whatever is available in their country whereas western citizens can use whatever is best in the world.

So yes, it’s extremely unfair on the Chinese people.
Hi @oskar, looks very nice! What's the pricing on this? Couldn't see anything on your site.

I know there may be a concern about putting pricing front-and-center in that would scare off potential users, but highly recommend having some pricing somewhere to test actual market viability. Many people want cool stuff, but refuse to pay for it - unfortunately, that indicates the product or service isn't solving a real pain point (and that that user base is actually lousy for a business). I don't think Glitterly falls in this category, but you need paying customers to have a business, and it's best to find out this information sooner rather than later. You can always raise or reduce prices, but having something there is the best way to start figuring this out.

Good luck! It's a long journey so congrats on taking the first step.
Apparently these were not since I could also see my smartphone being registered as a new MTP endpoint (and could exchange files).

Those add up pretty fast if you're doing full on-site days. A couple of years ago I interviewed for two FAANGs. Along with phone screens, on site, and a couple of supplementary interviews, and then team selection interviews, it easily got to 18 or so. And that was just two companies.
Regarding [2]: Xor and And form a basis of all logical operations, while Xor on its own (or And on its own) do not. In GF(2) multiplication is xor and addition is and. So addition and multiplication are enought to build all possible circuits.

Another way to look at it is, in homomorphic encryption you have the problem that in an operation both operands are encrypted. Therefore repeated addition based on one operand is not an option.

But in that case the hash sent to the server in stage 3 is always the same and behaves like a password - capture it and you can use it again elsewhere.
With the Apple Silicon, it should last even longer and perform much better.
Quite a few physics engines don't help much with this particular problem though. If you step the physics world in too large or variable intervals (e.g. once per frame), then small and fast objects can still tunnel through thin objects without registering a collision, you need to tweak the step size for your specific scenario (smallest and fastest objects), call the step function in fixed intervals several times each frame, and carry the last remaining 'time slice' over to the next frame.

And since the obvious next question is: Why don't all physics engines implement a "proper" continuous collision system? I guess because checking collision in discrete steps is a lot cheaper, so that it may be an acceptable tradeoff if one knows the tunneling problem exists and how to work around it.
Good luck finding something that grows faster than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_function
Well, in a fantasy world that may be the case.

In the real world this is little more than just another politically motivated maneuver that will do little to undo the damage caused to the world and Western interests vis a vis China of the US withdrawing from the TPP.
