I think this is still a good service. It is just a mirror. It is a way of giving back to these open source operating systems and cutting their costs. Thus embrace it but be smart about it so that no one is trapped.

Dejanews isn't the same. That was an archive of a dying technology. This isn't the same case. Usenet was a dying technology, ultimately killed by http.

Cloudflaree has always done the free thing to raise it's popularity. You are right that as companies get bigger it can be harder to keep revenue growing and they slowly start to cross lines they didn't before though. If that company has built reliance on it's free tools which have reduced diversity, when they start to cross lines it can be sort of a trap. This usually isn't intentional now but it is just how things work... Years from now revenue growth might require crossing a line...

- beauty: does this occur in 1984? It's not in Goldstein at all, so I have nothing to parallel. In the meantime, Jowett's translation of Book V:

> "Yes, and the most ridiculous thing of all will be the sight of women naked in the palaestra, exercising with the men, especially when they are no longer young; they certainly will not be a vision of beauty, any more than the enthusiastic old men who in spite of wrinkles and ugliness continue to frequent the gymnasia.
Yes, indeed, he said: according to present notions the proposal would be thought ridiculous.
But then, I said, as we have determined to speak our minds, we must not fear the jests of the wits which will be directed against this sort of innovation; how they will talk of women's attainments both in music and gymnastic, and above all about their wearing armour and riding upon horseback!"

makes me wonder if he'd had any exposure to Scyths, etc.?

Thanks I like the idea of a git pull on boot up.
I can confirm. At my previous job we were about 20 employees and we had one person dedicated to this. Grants for R&D, so her work was to make the paperwork explaining and documenting why it was R&D. Also there was another gov help to pay half the salary of employees for which it was the first job after their thesis or something along these lines.
Second this. Cloudflare package repo gets me so excited about it and i wish they extend to ubuntu too.
Nier Automata is just something else. Not every part of the game is that well executed, but the music alone is worth the price of entry and the emotional payoff in the story makes me forgive the many clunky elements.

I'm so glad I gave it a chance, because battle androids in maid costumes was not something that got my attention for the right reasons. Skill Up's review on YouTube is what tipped me over the edge - he expressed he had many of the same concerns going in.
Kind of.

Not exactly a project inside this project, but maybe a separate visualization tool using the GLAD alerts API to allow people to gather the same information the bot does, but in an easy to use website instead of having to use the package itself inside their machines. Unfortunately I'm not much of a designer so this could take a long time.

The newsletter idea sounds cool. Maybe even send detailed reports? There is more data the bot knows on each request but gets ignored for simplicity of the statuses.

However, as of now I'm more concerned about the continuity of the bot, as mLab (where the bot database is) will be terminating their service by November. Currently looking for a free or affordable place to deploy this app.
I think this is irrelevant, apple just moved scripting language support out of their OS bundle. They blew it with that warning message though.
He was certainly having fun! A refreshing peek through his mind.

Whenever I mention the likes of Newton and their works, I frequently get attacked by some people. Their argument is that Newton was a terrible human being and despite his contributions to Science, Mathematics, and the process of discoveries in general, he does not deserve praise since appraisal implies we would be condoning his behavior.

To that I usually reply, we would never accept some of his behaviors now and that does not mean his contributions are worthless. They believe we can never separate the "works" from a "person", to which I always disagree.

EDIT: Grammar.

> GHC'ss linear types don't give you uniqueness types in the same way rust does

Why, though?

Is it because GHC's linear types are a superset of Rust's linear types? I guess that could rule out some features the compiler is able to prove (or not).
They could've very easily had text on the screen saying what time period the current scene was in. It seems like they left it out deliberately for artistic reasons and many people have been confused as a result.

Well, Twitch is popular for a reason. Plenty of people consume their games vicariously these days. So there's an option.
The good old days were probably better known as the crazy old days. Think about the technological jump that came from WW2, suddenly all aspects of society are impacted by what had been developed in relatively short order.

So the next generation is presented with all these new concepts and technologies with no world war to get in the way of exploiting them. Yes a lot of the ideas were war related but so much also went into civilian use that transformed the world.
I discovered starcraft2 when it became free to play. I find addictive in a similar way to my LoL days, without the toxic teammates.

It's super fun and engrossing, but I have to admit I occasionally get flashes of worry about is this how I want to spend my time? To be fair, I get the same thoughts about my job.
This looks quite cool, but I don't think it's open source? I can't find any source code in the repository, there's just a single file called not_ready_yet.
I know farmville, candy crush and the like playing people. I also know AAA online pubg, world of warcraft etc games playing people. The worst behavior I have seen definitely did not came from farmville candy crush crowd.

Also, overall, steam sales seems to cost way more money I have ever seen being spent on games. And not just that, spending a lot of money on steam sales is point of pride for gamers - who ten turn around and act all superior over causual player ... spending less money (or no money) overall.

> Raging behavior? Mood is definitively effected, especially when the social aspect has a negative turn.

Rage and affected mood are two different things. But again, the level of anger or irritability in relation with farmville are super mild compared to what I have seen in pc/console gamers.

------------------------------

The most irritable to me is the level of hypocrisy pc/console gamers display when they complain about causual games.
Can you elaborate on Facebook's business in China, please?
I think the article covers that. They are hosting a website at a static IP, so a mapping of public IP -> secret IP must be stored somewhere. They are hoping that knowing this secret IP will let them find their true hosting provider.

Sure, that works for outgoing connections. Incoming, though? Not so much; it has to know where to send the data.
hard agree.

I liken AAA games to porn.They put a little bit of everything in there to try and appeal to as wide an audience as they can.

Back in the day, exploring the game itself and its systems used to be part of the appeal. Nowadays developers are scared to death that a player might make a decision that locks them out of content.
More on topic : it might make sense to retitle as “F (loopless programming language)”
When I was little I read a Jules vernes story about a big asteroid touching briefly earth and yanking away some water and an island. Presumably this is only perceived by the islanders as a big earthquake and it takes some time for them to realise that they are not on the earth anymore. Next year three is a close pass near earth again and they manage to return to earth in a balloon :)
Captchas original purpose was transcribing books, no. And then Google used their version for doing house numbers. (I've a feeling there was some other common type I saw, but can't recall). Now, they're used to train vehicle AIs and map road features in USA.

Less happy about the latest one but the book transcription and map correction were good as I benefited from both those projects (used the tools).
Well, there’s whom the state is supposed to serve and there’s whom they actually do serve. Any state that serves anything but the common good is a tyranny by definition. The US and most countries are globalist oligarchies and so you might say that the state is serving capital in our day and age. However, there is variation in the degree of oligarchic capture of the state and while it is good to reduce this capture, I am not sure I can name a single state in history that wasn’t a tyranny to one degree of another in practice (again, matters of degree). A good way of limiting the totalizing control of oligarchs is through a subsidiarian dispersal of political power. But direct democracy and mob rule are perhaps the worst options. It’s also an illusion because the mob is always just an instrument of power (communists for example mobilized the mobs by whipping jealousy).

I think the best attitude is one which presumes that corruption is an inevitable and endemic feature of all human societies and that while we can deal with some or much of it in small ways as these things occur, there is no solution. The belief in a solution ultimately leads to far worse things. Don’t immanentize the eschaton.
How did Arch and Alpine innovate ?
Yeah - performance is an issue here (I've worked on VR tech before). What I'm suggesting isn't that developers are getting it perfect, but that we have technologies and techniques that make it work at scale (without people being sick).

XMind is pretty good personal cross-platform tool for mind-mapping for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

One tiny shortcoming: Cyclic graph cannot be create (view is ok) on iOS platform but can be done on other platforms. Acyclic is a given.

One great feature is when it gets too big, graft-and-paste to a separate document is available.

Collaboration between devices of same account is excellent.

That's true - even if it's in memory somewhere the record exists, and is readable.
Are they really all that related?

The IPO process takes a while, so is it really that surprising that a bunch of companies might have overlapping periods of IPO activity?

If a bunch of companies in the same sector, that compete with each other, went to IPO around the same time, that might be a _little_ weird, but this is largely just a coincidence. AirBnB has been anticipated for a while, Palantir needs the cash, and Corsair, well, I dunno what's really up there, but they're gonna try to IPO too. Either way, it mainly seems like a coincidence for these three.
Same, but it's because Indie developers have to make trade-offs and those trade-offs result in more interesting games even if they're not as polished.

One of the reasons I was excited for VR is because I was hoping it would turn into the wild west again like it was back in the NES/SNES days where people where experimenting. You'd play a game where some stuff worked and some stuff didn't, but you appreciated the entertainment regardless.

Nowadays it's all so engineered and samey that I often find it more difficult to finish AAA games than indie games.
Interestingly, it's the same when you go into space. Around half the people experience it and there doesn't seem to be a link between people who get motion sick and those who get space sick. Symptoms can be mild to relatively severe but people tend to adjust after a few days.

Seems to do the trick and is POSIX only (so works on busybox and mac). You can probably just tack `| sort` at the end if you want it sorted.
Well, the App Store shows manufacturer suggested price. A manufacturer still doesn’t get to advertise the wholesale price nor do they get to advertise that you can get it cheaper somewhere else.

I fail to see how the MSRP is relevant.

The question was quite simple. Can I sell an item in Best Buy or GameStop and advertise in their store that a customer can get it cheaper online?
But WhatsApp is not truly E2EE, so not much is gained.
Is cash even cheaper? I don't think a single store here would prefer you to pay in cash and that sentiment has only grown stronger this year.
Ask HN: What non-obvious tech/market may take off in the next few years?
Hi HN, I'm trying to find some exciting but not-yet-mainstream tech or market to look into.

For the last couple of years I've been completely focused on one field and have not been staying on top of what the latest hot tech trend is, so kind of lost what I should be looking at. Note that I'm not just chasing some tech hype, but just want to know what I've been missing out on.

This doesn't have to be brand new tech per se, but could be a re-application of a previously failed technology which makes sense now because the world has changed.

Please share anything you think is really cool that may take off soon. Also would be nice if you shared the reason for why you think it will be the next couple of years when they take off to mainstream. Thank you!
You're not wrong, but also the minimum foiling speed for this particular boat is listed at 17 knots. If you're navigating a speed boat through rough seas at 17 knots you're a braver person than I am for sure. :o)

Below that it seems to me like it behaves more or less like a regular boat. Regardless, I'd probably avoid speeds above 10 knots if I found myself in relatively high seas, and I'd just avoid going out in that kind of boat altogether if I had the option. If you do find yourself in that kind of sea though my experience is that most swells tend to come from one direction so you can find a good bearing surf the waves, zig-zagging if need be. Adjusting speed as need be is crucial in rough seas for sure.

It does have a reasonable draft without the foils extended it seems, 1 meter, and at 2.4 meters wide it seems like it could be pretty stable actually. It'll be interesting to see once my buddy gets his delivered.
Not to mention that from 1800 to 1930 the world population doubled (1 billion to 2 billion, passing the 1.5 mark just around 1900).

While this pales in comparison with the 6 billion humans added since, that's a significant change - particularly for most likely available recorded sources - at a time of monstrous evolutions to major world powers/empires, expansion into vast new areas of the world (namely North America) of essentially the British empire (while at the same time the East India Company ceased to exist by the end of the century for contrast), some abolition of slavery becoming a reality in places (1833 for the British), and what arguably kickstarted much of the mental frameworks for our entire lives: the first two industrial revolutions (for example: democratization of once-monastic school system while adopting the year-of-production type of mental model for its promotions).

1804 is the first locomotive. 1859 is The Origin of Species by Darwin. 1861 is Maxwell equations. 1869 is Mendeleev's period table. And so on and so forth[0]. Measurement devices also improve in reliability and efficiency, leading to many of the early recordings we can now look back at when it comes to the consequences of the explosion of human activity with regards to the environment.

It's quite a fantastic century to keep a trace of, frankly.

The government does not side with capital. If it did, we wouldn’t have unions at all, minimum wage, etc. Standard Oil would still be dominating and AT&T would never have been broken up.

To say the government serves capital, even in the US, is laughably wrong. Look at the mandate of the Federal Reserve, it’s literally designed for maximum employment.

The government serves those in power, many of whom are rich. Being rich is not enough to have the government serve you though.
Gamer would be similar to "film buff" in this context, someone who enjoys it much more than normal or makes it part of their identity.

Plato’s societal structure is designed to achieve his highest aims for the individual and the state.

1984 is a dystopian novel which, if anything, is a dumbed down version of a Kafka novel. It has nothing to do with Plato’s philosophy.

They have about as much in common with each other as an orange does with Jupiter: both are round. This is basic common sense to anyone with knowledge of either.
They can do this without keeping any meaningful information quite easily: They sign a client certificate with an expiry date at time of purchase using their CA private key (that the court obviously can't force them to give up, HSM etcetera).

Into the client certificate's DN or extended field they write the allocated public IP.

The only information they need to store is that that IP is spoken for and not to be allocated again. They could also work this out on the fly.

When the client comes to connect, they note that the certificate is signed and presented, and they route the public IP to the in-tunnel address of the peer, which they will have standardized to something meaningless like 10.0.0.2

As long as they don't log anywhere in the process, the signing of certificates means you don't have to remember the client at all.
I'm confused. If we're stipulating carbon-neutral liquid fuel from renewable energy, what precisely is wrong with depolymerizing organic matter into ordinary hydrocarbons? Sure it generates CO2 at the point of use, but it's offset by the photosynthesis that made the organic matter. As long as the carbon cycle is a closed loop there shouldn't be problem, right?

I'd argue that 538's model likely overestimates uncertainty, because it is a benefit to them both ways.

Either they spin it that they were perfectly correct in those 95% of cases where they get it right, or they spin it that they were the least wrong (and therefore the most correct) in the other 5% of cases where everyone gets it wrong.

Millions of citizens from countries that have abusive governments would disagree with this. Its digital gold.

Your point is that the lack of adoption makes it an incomplete solution, right?

It's a valid point, but it's like saying e-mail in the 90's was not a good replacement for mail because if you want to forward it to your aunt you still need to print it out and mail it. If adoption improves those problems go away.
It’s not a nitpick. Anyone with social security, 401ks, etc are all depending on capital markets to retire.

> Their interests are not those of the capital, e.g. they would lose from stricter anti-labour regulations.

This is incorrect. They would only lose if they were part of the effected labor pool.

Break up the California teachers union and pretty much everyone in California except for the teachers will benefit. Tax revenue shortfalls mean worse services and/or higher taxes for everyone else to pay for fat retirements for incompetent teachers.

I don't think it's inherently unprofitable (and neither is most public infrastructure), but more that any possible step towards more profit would be almost always against the users' interest.

Like with motorways and much of other public infrastructure, competition is basically impossible (and would be too inefficient) due to the sheer scale of the project, and letting a for-profit run it would be nothing but harmful to the public.
