> Invest in local politicians by making dinners, hosting parties, etc..and slowly work your way up the stack.

No amount of dinner parties is going to get people with reputation to lend it to you to cover the kind of horrifying stuff Epstein did. That sort of reputation cover costs money, and lots of it.
Apple seems to have the position that if a company is going to start publishing apps with non allowed systems once that they will probably do it again with other apps. Epic has had the choice to conform to terms (they were not even losing money on in-app unlike the content streaming folks), even if that means removing all mention of in-app and have yet to do so. More or less Apple did the same thing to Facebook in the past for the profile abuse. Facebook just hadn’t prewarned their marketing team they were violating terms of service on purpose.

Edit: not that Epic isn’t right to sue to see if they can get their way, just that they should have sued without violating current terms. My personal belief is that much of the 30% goes to gift card promotions and markup which brings in funds for all developers.
Read the abstract, intro, and conclusion. Scan the references.
I've heard the same argument for communism. "That wasn't real communism," and I bought into this for a while. But looking at it all objectively now .. no .. China, the Soviets .. it's real communism. Cults participate in high levels of communism too.

I've been to the museums in Moldova with displays dedicated to the people who were taken to gulags. I've read about the people who starved in the Ukraine. People like Adam Curtis liked to say communism/soviets were not as great a threat as they were made out and how Regan's teams overreacted .. but I don't know now.

We are seeing active experiments with polyamory today. It's different because you don't have the legal bindings in polygamy. My hypothesis is if you offered full legal polygamy marriages, it would not turn out well long term. We could try it, sure, but it never worked in the past. You thing you're magically going to get it right this time, like modern day Marxists? I have my doubts.
There’s an important distinction to make: this tracking doesn’t necessarily lead to better products, it leads to better business metrics.

Sometimes a better product comes out of better business metrics, but other times they’re directly opposed.
Ask HN: Are there any search engines domain-specific to programming?
I've become increasingly dissatisfied with how generic the results from Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo have become when searching for programming related questions. Even when I try to use advanced querying these search engines seem to ignore what I put in quotes and return the most generic pages about the programming language itself:

See this example where I search for 'C# "?."' https://www.google.com/search?as_q=C%23&as_epq=%3F.&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&tbs=
The examples look like they are not. Yet another Yaml based spec

Wouldn't that be `else: break` in every other language?
I expect more intellectual honesty and curiosity on this site tbh. Please don’t purposely reduce the quality of the experience here. Some context

>The match is being called "Game Zero" because it was played just two days before the first positive case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Italy. The head of pulmonology at a Bergamo hospital, which is outside of Milan and the usual home of Atalanta, recently described the Champions League match as "a biological bomb." There were also about 2,500 Valencia fans in the stands for the match, and 35 percent of Valencia's team tested positive for the coronavirus a few weeks later.

>Bergamo Mayor Giorgio Gori echoed that statement.

Tell me how narrow the area between your left ear and your right ear is? Afterwards I will answer your question, okay?
Why is syncing across devices not opt-in? Why doesn't Kindle tell you which data it sends and when?
Yeah, I know I did.
A translation package, where multiple translators are integrated
I created this package because I needed to automate a translation task. There are other libraries out there for this. However, I wanted a tool, which gives the flexibility to switch between different translators. Therefore, I created the deep-translator package, in which many translators are integrated. I appreciate any feedback
I honestly don't mind the FUD as long as user don't have options. Amazon deserves the bad press in that case. Kindle is an awesome screen reader, but such features make it a bad device. A good device just had an option "sync usage data to Amazon account" <yes/no>. People suggest it is a technical impossibility.

It is just a shame that you have no options. Had to quickly search if my kindle has GPS capabilities. Gladly it does not.

"Kindle Collects a Surprisingly Large Amount of Data" is a completely honest and in my opinion correct statement. So yes, companies are dishonest in their data collection practices and responding with exaggeration is maybe wrong. But I do care more about the data collection issue.
I think Taiwanese engineers rather work for Apple in the USA than for the State owned companies in mainland China.

They have the money and can attract the talent
Considering that Apple buys a lot of different chips from TSMC of radically different areas, that might be a questionable metric. They might average out to $10 a chip if you consider the chips in airpods and the application processors equally as each one chip. What'd be more interesting would be cost per square mm of silicon.
Top Mobile App development frameworks to know in 2020
I wonder if it would be useful to have a Optane for the memory-hungry portions of ZFS, particularly the dedup tables, especially to be able to run it on very small, efficient machines.

My work backup server has "only" 32GB of RAM which is nowhere near enough to do dedup, even though there's a ton of stuff that could be deduplicated. Looks like it needs at least 64GB RAM to dedup, and that machine is maxed out.

But at home I'm in a similar situation to the parent. I'd like to set up a NAS, but I use it mostly for backups long term storage and don't want a big machine sitting idle all the time. A tiny Atom with Optane for cache and DDT might be ideal, in my thinking.

But for most of the storage use Backblaze is probably the right answer.
I'd say that the ties of Taiwan with China are not that concerning, considering that they actually consider themselves to be the legitimate government of China in exile on the island of Taiwan and that the mainland has missile batteries ready to fire missles on them.

I guess the real danger here in our unforeseeable world will arise if the American government becomes either unwilling or unable to defend Taiwan from a sea invasion from the CPC, something that would probably be more serious to American (and world) security than losing a few fabs in Asia, I think.
I have also owned three generations of Kindle! Like you, I've never taken any of them online.

Never supply a wifi connection during setup, and instead immediately engage airplane mode. USB transfer is easy with something like Calibre, which also handily converts ePub to Mobi for Kindle use.

It used to be that you could buy Kindle books and download them to your computer for transfer to the Kindle via USB, but they seem to have made that more difficult in the last year or two. Other sources still work fine, though.

Google “I am not a robot” captcha Beaten and Virus Simulator campaign
I beat Google's recaptcha (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/) using AWS Rekognition and AWS EC2 where I had one machine in each possible region (about 20) to keep their algorithm from giving me impossible puzzles. Seeing is believing, so I ran my system for 20 hours on THIS very website(each video is 10 hours long):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N16tjueYqg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alI13vlEJC4

Also the FunCaptcha(the one where you rotate some animals) but using Google Vision API:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5nL5P9FIqg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl6l-Ww5FSc

My channel(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkLdZAUsGiuQyT7Oq_0wz7Q) has videos of it running on S stackOverflow, Disqus, The Google Vision API website where I got a 0.7 score on V3 Captcha for 40 hours, reddit and this site(Hacker news).

Code: https://bitbucket.org/Pirates-of-Silicon-Hills/voightkampff/...

The readme is not up-to-date, but the relevant files are main.sh and funCaptcha.sh

You have to beat two things: -Click on the right images FAST ENOUGH -Make sure they don't blacklist your network and IP

V3 Recaptcha, in fact, only does the later. IP is easy: restart the EC2 machine. Network is hard, you need to switch between them and attempt no more than one puzzle per try. More when I make the video explainer...

I am making videos on how to set it yourself, hopefully done today. It runs on a GCP VM with a VNC server as "screen" and uses AWS EC2 as proxies. It's all a giant shell script.

I designed a new Captcha and will launch a crowdfunding campaign for it based on the fact that I beat the 2 main captchas in the market, but because some people I knew died from Covid I made an Indiegogo campaign for an app that warns you about surfaces you should not touch and finds people who are not wearing masks around you. This is why I am here.

Ozymandias
The fires ravaging these forests is really sad, although I was pretty meh on living in the Bay Area, the immediate access to amazing state wildlife parks was absolutely unparalleled. IMO, who cares if it's torching scrubby LA hills or hollywood mansions?

My visit to Big Basin after huge rains in 2017 (arguably a stupid decision) was basically the first time I could say I had a "religious" experience in nature. Forests are most alive after a big rain, the entire day I spent there is absolutely seared into my mind. Every conceivable part of the forest was alive, surging out of the ground and out to take a look at what was new.

It's important to note that tragedy is an all too common step in evolutionary time for forests, this is the way that they continue to evolve and move forward. The last time I visited was after huge mud slides and rivers overrunning their banks. Many of the trails were blocked by 12' diameter trees that had fallen when the soil beneath their roots became too waterlogged or washed away. I can only hope that these forests will continue to thrive beyond my lifetime.

I will say though, visiting Big Basin really made me question how we could actually cut down forests like this just to build stupid houses. And we still are, logging trucks and signs for logging companies are all over the roads surrounding Big Basin.

Except completely reclassifying it to remove the thing that made China want to seize control in the first place: special trade status.
Other than that, what could the current administration do that wasn't screwed up by its predecessors?
The earthquake and tsunami killed almost 20,000 people. Your point might be about the nuclear power station incident, but you might be forgetting what caused it.

If money's all that's needed to build a fab to match TSMC's 5 nm without prior experience then their biggest competitor would be China's SMIC. They have unlimited funding from the Chinese government because an embargo hurts China's electronics industry a lot more than just price gouging. SMIC, a company with unlimited funding to poach TSMC engineers and actual experience with chip fabrication is still 2 gens behind. Apple's not going to do any better.
No, the effects are not similar. If Apple removed the developers’ licenses, they could not put anything on the AppStore. If an update to the Unreal Engine gets delayed (I have no doubt it will be resolved at some point), then the current version keeps working on the OS on which it was tested, and the developer’s other applications can still be bought.

There is no need for hyperbole.
You may have seen them for files that were automatically edited in some fashion (e.g., by another package's install script). IMO needing to do that is a low-grade bug.

What! Why? What about all the other data?

> Hong Kong fell without a peep from the U.S.

HK isn't a sovereign nation, Taiwan is. Also, having the US go in would be questionable. Wasn't the "one country, two systems" treaty an agreement between uk and china?
User's Kindle eBook collection revoked by Amazon (2012)
Apple is not god, but Apple is, more importantly, not the PRC. It would be significantly easier to lure top engineers to America, pay them multiples of what they currently earn and work for a prestigious company. The PRC has only one of the main motivating components.
For geopolitical reasons, TSMC is not for sale. And as for setting up a competitor, China has been trying for more than a decade, spending a lot more money than Apple ever will, and they are still not close.
Not really. In hindsight, many of the efforts like digging under the reactor and dropping lead from air were of questionable usefulness at best. In their defense, they acted according to the information and resources they had, but all in all the mitigation efforts gave unnecessary radiation exposure to many people and many of them were completely useless. If the reactor were left alone for a while, it wouldn't have changed much.
Corollas won't actively resist you going offroad, or being modified until it can drive offroad and win the manufacturer title in the WRC[0]. In contrast Apple resists modification of both their software & hardware so much that's it's spawned a whole right-to-repair movement around it. I like the fact the PC ecosystem allows so much freedom. I have a countless amount of mods for my games that aren't nor will be developer sanctioned, downloaded from an open-source browser running multiple aggressive privacy plugins that I know for a fact won't run on whatever engine Safari uses, all on a PC I built myself with an overclock that has voided most of my warranties. In the mobile space I use a Google pixel from which I theoretically could run anything I want on if Verizon wasn't a complete asshole with the bootloader. None of those things would be possible with anything Apple produces.

Now normally I would say that as a company you have the right to legally abuse your userbase however you want, but when you get this big that your profit margin exceeds that of several democratic countries and your particular flavor of abuse is inspiration for product development in general, than I'm going to support you losing that particular privilege.

I don't care how they are used honestly, I care about options to disable it.
The slowing of Moore's law means that they have the option to wait and see, bank up capital, and then jump back in when everyone else has done the hard work for them of figuring out EUV.
What industry? Because I don't see gaming consoles being part of the same industry as smartphones.
It's 2020. I would have hoped it's a keyfob device that can dispense laminated gold pellets to a terminal that can verify the value of each pellet. And that anybody can manufacture the pellets.
TSMC has fabs in Washington and they are going to open another one in Arizona. They also have a bunch of design centers in the US, so no. The strategic planners have thought of all of these things way ahead of you.
Final Cut Pro X updated with significant workflow improvements
Thaw: Python tool for CI/updating project dependencies
I made a command line tool that identifies exactly where dependencies are used in your project and generates a report. You can look at just external dependencies via the requirements.txt file, you can get a report of where all dependencies (internal and external) are used, and you can also get a report showing where one or several specific libraries are used in your project. Reports give you filepaths relative to the top level of your project and lines within those files that use each library, but you have the option to include the content of the affected lines as well. By default the report gets printed to stdout, but you can have thaw write the report to a timestamped .txt file as well.

I have more features planned for thaw that are listed in its GitHub project. Please check thaw out on GitHub and let me know what you think!

So these "mines" don't explode if a friendly is on them, or a child?
That seems like the underlying problem then!

I don't want to review diffs to pam.d or sshd_config or (as another user pointed out) bashrc and profile, either.
Shame, blocking the Unreal engine would have hurt Apple a lot more than Epic though lets face it the real losers would have been developers.
Be a developer for another platform then. What makes the platform is both consumers and producers of apps. Vote with your wallet and your merchandise.
Most of the cancer treatments that make your life hell aren't commonly used on thyroid cancer. Generally you have part of the thyroid removed, and quite often it can safely be ignored with no harm done to the patient.
Respectfully, I strongly disagree. If we assume that your intent is to convey meaning in an accessible way, you should be precise. Expansion on concepts should be clearly separated. There is rarely a communicative need to conflate more than two concepts in a single sentence. That said, if your intent is artistic expression, then a different mode makes sense.
It sounds like you are conflating "Defect Density" and "Yield". These are not the same. Yield is a function of Defect Density. The function is exponential. Even the appearingly "slight" improvement shown in the Defect Density shown in graph is significant in terms of Yield.

>Things already turned south (in March) and are on the rebound now.

The stock market is not the economy.

What has changed since March, except a whole lot of small-business bankruptcies and closures, cities burning in mass protest, and an even-closer, tightly contested election with massive political consequences?
Sooooooo much whining and complaining about the length of the article in this comment thread. You realize you paid absolutely nothing to read it right? That the author is under no obligation to you to provide a "tldr;" for the people who think they're so busy they can't take 15 minutes to read a well-crafted and interesting story about a hustler and the guy trying to catch him.

Seriously, if your attention span is too short to read a medium-length article then you should really self-reflect about what's going on in your life.
Apple earnings haven't really improved much in the past 5 years. Their EBITDA is essentially flat. They just buy back their shares aggressively and have a ton of cash. Also a lot of big holders (like Buffett) that aren't going to just drop the stock, so there is a limited supply with people chasing it.

Small businesses are getting killed because the government deemed most of them "non-essential" so big boxes and eCommerce were the only things available, so of course Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc are all doing incredibly well. Their small competition was killed off. This pandemic has definitely worsened the transfer of wealth from the small hands to the large hands, and it's 100% the government's fault.
Sure you can if what is meant by “a couple ranks higher” means a couple enlisted ranks. This can occur before leaving for basic.

"Play by the rules or don't play"
One of the coolest communities of people I met in the Bay Area / old school Silicon Valley (think Los Altos / Palo Alto) were the long-time residents who grew redwood sapplings in their garages / back-yards and planned regular excursions to maintain forests and to plant these saplings.

For those who don't know, redwood / sequoia saplings take years to grow in captivity and are actually quite complex to collect and sow.

To be frank, the Bay Area wasn't a great fit for me - but communities like this keep itching at me to move back from the east coast.
Yea I only have 4GB of ram on my little HP MicroServer I use as a NAS with ZFS. The only issues I seem to have is that ZFS encryption seems to use more CPU than luks encryption, but it's still not too bad (the AMD Turion(tm) II Neo on it doesn't have AES instructions).

I might upgrade it to something with a better processor because I do want to run de-duplication on my 14TB drive at some point.
Yep. Just yesterday I encountered a pocket of “radical” anarchists that literally want to “utterly destroy the other side before rebuilding a good society”. Since when is that normal?
I had completely forgotten that .mobi is proprietary!

In principle, you're absolutely right. In practice, .mobi is easy to generate, modify, fold, spindle, and mutilate with free/Free software.

Even Amazon's .azw is just mobi with * replacing $.
Goal Setting
Yup. I was already very much leaning towards that (much more than the average millenial).

Esp in NYC. At least until next April/May, why would you want to pay $2k/month for a shoebox room that you work remote from. Ridiculous.
Do you have something to back up the claim that this kind of data collection leads to better products?
The equivalent is called `textview` which is a built-in which tries to be a bit more intelligent than `less` with regard to file-types.

The default viewer, which sort of runs at the end of every pipeline is called `autoview`.

Now.. autoview should be calling textview in the cases where the pipeline detects a large text value. It is possible that you're not exactly running a pipeline.

For instance:
If you run:

cat big.log

it is not running a pipeline, just an external command.

If you run:

open big.log

you're invoking nushell's mechanism for creating a pipeline sourced by the contents of big.log. You should also notice that textview is invoked, because there should be a pager.

Alternatively, you can choose to create a pipeline by pipe-ing the output of cat big.log into something.
If you pipe it to textview you should see the same result:

cat big.log | textview

Hope that helps!
I was several hundred miles north of the path of totality for the 2017 eclipse. I walked around the path outside my office during the event. Even though it wasn't total, there was a noticable dimming outside and it actually started feeling cold. I'm sure the effect would be far more pronounced had it been a total eclipse, but it was definitely noticable where I was.
