And you cannot make a trade secret or a trademark something that's visible and nonspecific, like say UI design or look of hardware, placement of buttons etc. But you can make a design patent.

Patents make trade secrets stronger, especially if the patent is just part of the story.
Not to mention that you don't need to store 2750 tonnes of it in a warehouse in a harbour in a large city like Beirut.
Ten blades is better than 5 blades because the spikes are half the width on defocused points.

Newer Canon lenses have been 9- and 10-bladed.

Hasselblad's old V system lenses had 5 blades, curved in C lenses and straight in CF and later.

Fun fact for manga fans: the heavy use of Hasselblads in fashion and the resulting pentagonal bokeh lives on today in the frequent appearance of pentagons in the screentones of shoujo manga.
Right. But now that all Macs support even 6k output, there is no longer a justification. Also, they could have allowed target display mode in a lower resolution or in a window on your iMacs desktop, if they had tried hard enough.
Yes, I can confirm I've had the same google auth token on multiple devices both concurrently and when setting up new phones for a SaaS login for years now.
This is fairly likely sent from his own phone - WeChat requires you to verify via various forms of 2-factor to log in on a new phone. He also states that it's own phone in the report.
It seems to me that the original comment did indeed say you have to be perfect, and that you’re complicit with China’s worst abuses to the degree that you aren’t. I’m all in favor of boycotting China, but it seems extraordinarily counterproductive to say that anyone who’s not currently boycotting is a bad person.

I'm deeply unsatisfied with Lastpass (especially the state of their desktop apps: the Windows app is complete garbage and the Mac app is just a re-skinned version of Lastpass for Safari - or the other way around, not sure) knowing that 1Password care about desktop apps might convince me to switch.

> I'll go ahead and keep calling them what everyone else does, thanks.

A very pragmatic position.

> I mean if it doesn't matter what gets invented...

I think inventions matter. But I think our contributions are always marginal compared to what we build upon. If all of the people who say they won't create without monopoly profits stop creating, there will be more than enough people who continue to create that the world won't notice. In fact, it may even improve things. We'd have less intellectual garbage because novelty would stop being rewarded as much as utility.

Project management is a completely different discipline. Product management is about the design of a product, whereas project management is about the implementation of a vision.
You can turn off Multi-Device at any time, which just disables the ability to add new devices. I think that's protection enough.
I feel that it's a future of compilers: it almost feels like in interactive session, where you can actually learn stuff. I suggest expanding this.
Given how many households are deep in debt in US, do you think that cancelling others' indirect debt to them would leave them in the red?
I don't doubt he did a lot but you're overselling his or anyone's foresight.
"below market" because Instacart (and uber, etc) forgo normal labor law, have by-default but not by-contract full-time workers without any full-time benefits. Companies can achieve great benefit by externalizing cost on society, but should they? (And should they be able to?)

Beyond that, the exact moment when this guy stop those trade secrets was unlikely to be the first time he did something unethical. He was likely manipulative, lying, either to harm competition etc etc etc long before which made him good at climbing corporate ladder and negotiating.

He just got too brazen with those trade secrets. Which is exactly how people get high rewards, until it breaks.
One of my favorite YT naval historians, Drachinifel, constantly derides the Japanese 25mm AA gun, which was based on a French design. One of his longer podcasts (in the Drydock series) has a segment explaining the technical details of why.
Urgh, terminology! Digital twin apparently means the same as a test mock. If you test your app's db interactions with a mock of a database, then you don't need an instance of that db always available, among other things.
If it meets your needs then hop aboard.

I'd love to learn more about what you're working on and how you plan to use video/motion graphics.

Hit me up via email or Twitter @michaelaubry. Id love to chat.
I've tried this and other libraries like Faker and in my experience it's not worth it for anything besides maybe testing design mockups. When a project is small, I learned I might as well just launch early and test with real data. When a project is not small, a lot of time is spent trying to replace all the fake calls and data intertwined with what's real and getting confused in the process.
Why is Trump used as a source on HN? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that man say something that was useful or true.

I’m not American, mind you, so I’m certainly biased because he’s mainly in our media when he does something stupid, but everything I have ever heard him say about Europe has been so far from the truth that it’s hard to take his word on anything.
Shouldn't accidentally be in quotes? Every time google is busted doing nasty things with users privacy they use "accidentally"
Recommendation for ESL seconded. One of the best ML books in terms of writing, development of intuition, breadth of topics (ofc doesn't cover everything, esp deep learning).

What I love about the book is how the topics are "connected" so to speak. The narrative within a theme is typically "let's look at problem P, here's technique Q to solve P, but if you thought about P slightly differently you would see something like technique R would also work, so let's talk about that now".

The level of math might be tough for a beginner though.
Beirut explosion: at least 100 dead and 4k wounded
This “fundamental axiom” is not true:

”This means that for any two floating point numbers, say x and y, any operation involving them will give a floating point result which is within a factor of 1+ϵ of the true result.”

It fails for x-y when x and y are close. Subtraction is the easiest way to get big floating point errors. The article does mention this towards the end but you need to wade through a lot of equations before you get told this very important caveat.

The more tricky way to accumulate errors is to add lots of small numbers to a big number. Just summing a list of floats can be fraught with peril! Kahan’s summation algorithm is enlightening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm
I'd be happy with that, basically anything that doesn't say "REMOTE".

Best of luck, I hope it pays off.
Same here - using my MacBook Pro when working from home. I was very fortunate though to get me a Dell 2415Q in January. While not being quite as good as the iMac, it is a good "retina" screen. Can only recommend it.

Previously, I would sometimes use screen sharing to use the desktop of my MacBook onto my iMac, but due to its slow speed, that is only an emergency measure.
Google Authenticator now allows you to export your keys to another phone.

I keep my keys in analog form - I print QR code for every service. We know how to handle valuables stored on paper.
First, I will suggest reading $100 startup.

What skills do you have? Based on your skills, find low hanging fruits and go for them. No need to think too much or do any validation etc. Take a shotgun approach. Launch bunch of small projects and see what sticks.

Can you do WordPress? Can you learn quickly? Join affiliate programs and launch bunch of sites in obscure topics you know and/or interested in. Outsource writing to Fiverr, Upwork etc freelance sites.
Large firms also have the money and the indirect influence ("we create jobs!!!") to throw around when more regulations are on the table. And if they're large enough, you start getting negative effects from market dominance abuse.

And small businesses don't have to be run in a way that makes them fragile to external shops. There's no reason why they can't form federations specifically for that purpose - operating independently, but sharing the downturn risks across the entire pool.
Yea agreed, as to my tokenization example. Back when I was doing search for a price comparison service. The model numbers of the products were sometimes entered as LGA775 or LGA-775 or LGA 77-5 or LGA—775 (unicode dash) or "LGA 775"

And that is just one example :)
I ended up by developing a suite of "search tests" so whenever we were doing tuning (daily basis) we had a set of automatic search tests of about 80 weird/prev-wrong search cases we could check in a blink of an eye. One could specify the top X result needed to include at least Y number of products in XYZ category or have "brand" as ABC etc..
One might say it was "test-driven-search-tuning"
I also recommend https://robohash.org/ to generate avatars/photos for your various fake users.

I noticed their API has a low rate limit (which is fair for a free service), so I make sure to add some small delay (2-3 secs) to my seeding / fake data process so that I don't hit it too frequently.
that should be perfectly doable. in fact i try exactly this - running the whole machine powered by my emu and running js... i need a couple of additional stuff (handle the real time part) but i will keep you updated!
It's in the official waymo statement and was pretty easy to find: https://blog.waymo.com/2019/08/a-note-on-our-lawsuit-against...

"Recently, we received an unexpected email. One of our suppliers specializing in LiDAR components sent us an attachment (apparently inadvertently) of machine drawings of what was purported to be Uber’s LiDAR circuit board — except its design bore a striking resemblance to Waymo’s unique LiDAR design."

It was also in many articles. The story is that they were reluctant to pursue it until that email, you can find a ton of sources in the wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Levandowski
Kyle the man. The first tester and had some UX input that was super valuable. Thanks for sharing the love.

I want to see you back on the product making more videos soon!
I don't know about time machine. I suspect you might.

To be clear, I wasn't saying they were taking out the option boot-picker.

I was saying these lesser known features - although they will never be used by a general audience - make the mac significantly easier to administer for people who have been using macs for years and know what they're doing.

I will say I'm glad you can upgrade an older system to a new usb-c style thunderbolt machine using target disk mode - but the dongles/cables to achieve this feat are ridiculous.
Sell coronavirus masks
I truly believe there there is very little relationship between funding and performance. Any claim that funding fixes performance problems is destroyed by the DC public schools. (only need one counterexample)

It isn't totally crazy to think that funding could cause some performance problems. Money buys gadgets, and gadgets are distractions. All computing devices are repurposed into game machines.

If teachers "literally had to purchase their own supplies", where was the union? Was the school firing teachers who didn't forego a portion of their pay to get supplies?

Replacements get purchased because it won't be acceptable to have some students without the equipment, particularly if that involves any demographic factors that could cause a scandal. The risk of a civil rights lawsuit, or even just a major unflattering news story, is not going to be taken.
Let me clarify then that I'm not making a case that this kind of reward is justified. Likely a lot of it is luck, and the dude might have been a crook from the start for all I know. Just saying this is the kind of circumstance and outcome that leads to that kind of reward (rather than a particular set of skills).
Sure, but there is an ocean between the fraction of Lebron James' success that is luck (which is substantial, as you point out, call it 25%) and that of a lottery winner (which is effectively 100%)
The comment author is explaining the thinking behind the bonus, not saying if it justified.
I've found that all really effective hiring funnels are biased for type 1 errors at the start and type 2 errors later on.

Filtering on inane academic requirements up front is the exact opposite, and you end up rejecting half the real talent pool.
SSD improve programs' loading time, they do nothing for the latency of the UI of those programs.

When win95 arrived and brought the desktop as we know it to the masses it brought with it some latency that has not been reduced since. Subjectively it has increased, it might just be my patiece that goes shorter, so YMMV.

Yes SSD did bring back some of the lost time, and some more, but the programs don't feel as responsive as in "the old times."
FFMPEG is a huge component. There isnt a silver bullet there are many moving parts.

Essentially FE handles collecting information. BE handles parsing information and using various rendering techniques to stitch together the pieces.
I'm currently using andOTP. Just to throw some more news of good OSS MFA apps out there.
there are already thousands of pages written for that - at https://www.ipdb.org/search.pl. there you can download the manual of each pinball game - including a description how the game works!
> "Don’t think of them as rotations, think of them as a unit vectors of a new coordinate systems."

That's exactly what all square non-singular matrices with unit column spaces are. In fact, all square non-singular matrices are coordinate transformations. That's pretty much the central point of linear algebra.

Framing rotation matrices as changes to the coordinate system doesn't add much info like framing polynomials as continuous functions. Technically it's true, but it doesn't add much to clarify.
The amount of material must have been ridiculous to store in such a place. The blast is staggering in size, almost like the Tianjin explosion a few years ago.

I'd suggest buying a cheap wet/dry vacuum. They take up quite a bit of space for an apartment, but anytime you create a mess they can clean it up without issues (previously I had a battery powered stick vacuum and it would regularly get clogged up with sawdust and lose power). It's paid for itself easily, as I've had two small water leaks that if I wouldn't have cleaned up properly in time (I only have so many cloths) would have damaged furniture.
StackExchange sites feel like sites that you can browse without them trying to get you addicted and trying to stop you leaving. They do have the sidebar which sometimes shows interesting content but it doesn’t feel optimised for addiction or stickiness - more genuine discovery.

I’m not sure what sort of advertising they do on other stack exchange sites if any, but sticking to a job board on SO makes it so much more pleasant to read than a social feed throwing random junk products at you every few minutes until you go away.

It might not be more expensive in the long run because now if your Mac Mini needs an upgrade you can only switch the Mac Mini and keep the display which is cheaper than a new iMac.
It's true GIS departments did have some access to LandSat grade access via ArcGIS.

But it wasn't useful to anyone who wasn't in the GIS/remote sensingspace. Firstly, the ArcGIS product was primarily client/server and secondly you had to understand what you wanted to see before you used it - it was (and is) literally as easy to get infra red satellite imagery as actual photos.

That's not just marketing - it made it usable for whole new markets.

I'd love to hear more about your backend structure. Would you mind going into a bit more detail on it?
The side project is an implementation of a general purpose autonomous problem solving system and decision support toolset based on rules based techniques for governance of machine learning systems that we are developing. We see it as an approach to AGI that will facilitate rules based governance. ("Asimov's three laws" is our elevator pitch).

The idea has evolved over the last few years during the course of regular weekly discussions held by our group of founders.

Our group is planning on turning our technical developments into a startup, probably initially focusing on systems engineering tools.

We are currently implementing our prototype and looking at potential application areas.
Why not? There's various approaches to extracting energy from a black hole of any size, and being smaller generally makes things easier.
Trump is not a reliable source for anything. He lies/misleads more than he tells the truth whenever he's talking about something verifiable as far as I can tell.
I was a 1Password user from when it was fully self-hosted until they started pulling bait and switch tactics to move people to subscriptions and online vaults[1]. I also had Windows licences, and Windows was certainly a 2nd class citizen while I used 1Password. And of course, it doesn't look like the 1Password Linux client is open source. The back-end certainly isn't.

I switched to Keepass[2] initially, synchronised with NextCloud but it wasn't intuitive enough for everyone. We moved everyone to Bitwarden a few years ago using bitwarden_rs[3] and have never looked back.

Google at least is a bad option. You won't actually get any value representation, any exposure, due to their extreme market cap.

Most likely close to 0% of the SpaceX ownership stake is represented in Google's stock. Let's assume though for the sake of argument that some large part is, say $1.3 billion of the stake is represented (3% of $44 billion). That's equal to about 1.3% of Google's market cap (~$1t).

Whatever you do never buy a stock on that kind of premise. Risking the other 98.7% of your capital to get a meaningless piece of something else (which is already a big something else at a $44b market cap). If SpaceX doubles in value, you'll never notice it (you put $1,473 into Google, SpaceX doubles, max scenario you might make $20). It may be one of the worst reasons to ever buy a giant like Google. People commonly make this mistake when buying Berkshire Hathaway or certain other conglomerates, thinking they're getting a 1-to-1 direct exposure to the Berkshire portfolio (among their equity holdings, only a few matter at all, as with the Apple holding at $110b). I often see it pitched as a form of bonus diversification. Cash and equity holdings on the balance sheets of public companies are essentially never represented at full value in the market cap. The larger the company and the smaller the asset in question, the more likely it is to have something more toward zero representation.
Until somebody comes around and sells the 100% product for a 50% markup and enough people value completeness and UX more than their money. See Apple's MacBook Pro and iPhone.

Another example: I absolutely hate Amazon Prime Video for its UX and bugs they didn't fix for years (like asynchronous audio). So even though Prime is significantly cheaper in Germany, I rather pay for the more expensive Netflix instead.
The UK’s virus status may be better than we think
OK, I’ll happily grant you that you’ve made a compelling case. I still think there’s a significant difference between “cancel culture” (which I deplore) and boycotting/“voting with your wallet” (which I support), but I can’t quite put my finger on it so it’s entirely possible that I’m holding an untenable position. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
The natural heat was the killer. IF twitter was right the fire started from sparks from a welding on a door. The AN must have already been decomposing in the heat and under weight just waiting.

I wonder how often this storage facility was at a critical point like this. Like how many hot days. How often before this. It makes you think about all the other risks sitting out there just waiting for a small spark.
These are some of the thoughts I've been having as well. On the other hand I'm actually generally interested in how this situation is communicated in China? How much and what do they know about it (note that they left China some years ago).
I have to say I also find it chilling to say we can't discuss topics which have political implications for fear of it being construed of harassment. I have been frequently asked about political events/situations in Germany (where I come from), without it feeling like harassment at all.
I think not being American is a useful precursor to saying useful things about Trump, that way you aren't quite as close to the political tribalism that causes people to think "both sides" should be taken seriously.
We just found a opportunity for improving compile times for the Linux kernel when built with LLVM targeting x86 by 13% (slowdowns due to inline asm and sillyness in LLVM). Appearantly you can `perf record` the invocation of `make` for an entire kernel build, and get a 5GB trace of mostly llvm (well, mostly clang). When you start measuring and profiling, easy wins pop up everywhere. WIP

I was just today discussing with clang's code owner the idea of lazy parsing for static inline functions.
(utter newbie here):

"Explosives have characteristic "detonation velocities" at which shockwaves expand"

but the detonation velocity isn't that; from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonation_velocity "Explosive velocity, also known as detonation velocity or velocity of detonation (VoD), is the velocity at which the shock wave front travels through a detonated explosive."

I assume that for an infintely sharp explosion, the shock front would rapidly decelerate to something resembling the speed of sound in the medium? - I can't imagine a shock front in the air at 3km/sec (~ 2 miles/sec) not totally utterly destroying everything, be it building or large living organism, literally shredding it.

Are you sure that's right?
