When I got out from college, i created my gmail account via a invitation link from a friend (In 2006, there were invitation based sign-up).
I created gmail id without any dots in it and just firstnamelastname@gmail.com,

Later I joined as software engineer in a company, I came to know that good email is firstname.lastname@company.bla format, so I wanted to have my gmail id as firstname.lastname@gmail.com
But it wasn't available. I was so desperate to have it that I decided to email the person who owns it, so I emailed on the id (having dot in it).

Guess What!
I received my own email, requesting myself to handover the id.
Then I did some tests to know if dot is making any sense or not. so tested like first.name.last.name etc.

Found this link way back then. Great to know that someone else found it after so long :)
A savings account in 1940 is pretty much the same as a savings account today.

The way customers interact with their bank has changed massively over that period. In the UK traditional banks are losing customers to new upstarts that don't have to bear the cost of all that legacy. They are nimble and much more responsive to their customers.

Someone commented that it seems unlikely that Epic gets a legal victory out of this, but they may get a legislative victory. It's very possible Apple will win the case, but all the App Store fights that have been in the news more or less every day recently should at least be looked at when the US and EU consider new regulations.

I would love to see a new standard of time that talks about sunrise+1hr instead of artificially moving our antiquated wall clocks around. We have enough technology to make it happen and what we really care about is when the Sun comes up on a particular part of the globe anyway.

> Look at how simple things such as wearing a mask has become a controversial topic.

This was partially thanks to the anti-mask propaganda from WHO and to companies like google that attempted to silence any dissenting opinion.

> Look at QAnon and conspiracy theories running wild. Look anti-vaxxers ...

I would argue that these would not be an issue if they were not censored. After all people think "if they did not have something to hide they would not censor it", in addition censoring them pushes people who are interested to learn about said beliefs to go into circle-jerk communities about the specific topic where there is no dissenting opinion.

(regardless, conspiracy theories are not necessarily false - there have been a lot of true conspiracy theories in history)

> The whole point of sting operations is that they enable police to catch people that pose a danger to society by catching them in the act.

No, the point (at least of the these sting operations) is that they provide a low-effort way of producing large volumes of convictions for long-sentence offenses.

> In this case we have a man in his early 20s caught actively trying to meet a 13yo girl for sex.

Was he, though? He was actively trying to meet a person who he gave concrete signs of not believing was 13 years old, in large part because they were neither 13 nor doing a particularly good job of simulating being 13.
You're right, it is actually job description. Thank you for the clarification!
> if a structure passes through a configuration where the 3 atoms are collinear, the dihedral angle will discontinuously change by 180 degrees.

Here's a stab in the dark: Instead of using the dihedral angle $\phi$, why not use:

- $\cos(2 \phi)$,

- $\sin(2 \phi)$,

- $\cos^2(\phi)$

- $\sin^2(\phi)$

- the pair $(\cos(2\phi), \sin(2\phi))$,

- the homogeneous coordinate $[R\cos(2\phi) : R\sin(2\phi)]$ where $R \neq 0$.

A change in $\phi$ by 180 degrees won't have any effect then.
The article didn’t mention phylogenetic analysis of jellyfish genes or genomes, e.g. using 16S rRNA. [1]

This is new legal territory. I was talking to an Silicon Valley antitrust lawyer today. There are no clear precedents in this area. Whatever is decided here will affect many later cases. So this case is being followed closely by lawyers in the antitrust community.

Is this tying? We don't know. It's not a form of tying that's come up before. That doesn't mean it's not tying. Antitrust law is very general. This case is taking a different path than most antitrust cases. The plaintiff is asking for an injunction. It's not about money damages. It's going to be very interesting.

Tying in general is insisting that customers buy thing B, which they don't want, to get thing A, which they do want. The term "B picture" in movies comes from such an arrangement. Exhibitors had to run B pictures to get A pictures. That was knocked down by a lawsuit from Syufy, who went on to build dome-shaped theaters in Silicon Valley such as the ones near Google HQ. At one time the film studios owned many of their own theaters, which is why you see big old theaters named Warner, Paramount, or Fox. That was ended by an antitrust decision.

Tying cases are rare. You can look them up.[1] They come in many shapes and sizes. Examples of tying include trailer park operators requiring new land lessors to purchase a new trailer from them, similar cases involving marina boat slips and boat maintenance, Visa requiring merchants accepting their credit card to also accept their debit card, telcos requiring or deceptively inducing customers to pay for inside wire maintenance, and the one people here may remember, Microsoft bundling Internet Explorer with Windows.

It is definitely, as the judge said, not a slam dunk for either side.

> This reasoning also (especially?) applies to voting. Trying to make voting "efficient" is not worth it when we do it rarely and we have not had a problem just getting people to count ballots manually.

THat's a very rose-colored view on voting, one that conflicts with amount of recounts and outright election fraud that has taken place just in my lifetime. Not to mention the outright denial of some to candidates to attend or speak at conventions and caucuses or having heir delegates ignored entirely.

Ethereum was recently, and succinctly described to be the following by Udi Wertheimer:

“I think that Ethereum is a convoluted mess and I don’t know what it’s good for but fine; other people like it. Good for them.”

That pretty much sums up my perception, at first it was supposed to be a global computer, which made no sense to me... then it was THE Blockchain upon which smart contracts could be created, entirely ignoring Bitcoin's could do that multi-sig txs or nLock. But would facilaite things like smart-contracts for hotels and car rentals, then that faded into obscurity when they knew it was not practical at all given its limitations. Then when Crypto Kitties fad came on I stopped attending the local meetups entirely as I couldn't take them serious anymore.

I was always the 'Bitcoin maximalist' at those events, and while I was using their meetups as a way to grasp why Ethereum even mattered as I was at IBM's Blockchain division where they were openly pushing for ETH based solutions and using an equally complicated things as Solidity was when they mandated everything be done in Hyperledger Fabric.

Ultimately, I realized it was complexity for complexity's sake driven by people who really don't understand this technology at all, and did so with no real reason to justify it other than it fit with the 'it isn't Bitcoin, its this other thing' narrative. IBM really dropped the ball on their advantage to capitalize on the use of this tech to many of its multinational customers, many who seemed eager to explore the possibilities, as a result of this.

I still have some screen caps from the internal study material from the exams and other internal material on a phone somewhere that just focused on how Bitcoin was nothing more than digital currency for criminals online. And how Ripple and Ethereum were some how immune to that with no real explanation to anyone who actually understood the technology [1].

To this day I'm still baffled how anything but greed explains how Vitalik, a former member of Unsystem, was the guy behind this and the subsequent clusterfuck that is ETH/Classic/DAO whatever it wants to call itself.

I kind of wished it had all been a big prank to transfer funds from stupid investors and Putin who were mesmerized by empty claims and buzzwords to fund Unsystem's loftier goals for privacy on Bitcoin but after the DAO I was pretty convinced it was never going to happen. Crypto Kitties made me realize that even they had no idea what they were really building.

> that Intel can't artificially hurt AMD performance (but it apparently has no obligation to support unique AMD optimizations either).

As far as I understand it quite the opposite, it explicitly mentions that it may not apply "optimizations that are not unique to Intel" to other processors. It wont select the optimal code path unless the CPU vendor ID is set to GenuineIntel and fall back to the worst path your compile settings include.

Yeah. Articles like this one is why I started following HN religiously. I would understand "analog computer" as some form of a proportional controller - like PID, but with ID terms set to 0:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller
The sensor must be able to somehow measure how fast the target is moving relatively to the center of the sensor area. The proportional controller then sets the fins in a slightly exaggerated fashion.
You can move by swiping your finger within the purple-like circle at the right part of the screen. That circle simulates a joystick for character movement. And you can look around by swiping anywhere else on the screen!
> I mean, seriously, I want to play games where one can excel in out-thinking the opponent. But HotS progaming feels more like an exercise in memorizing obscure game mechanics and a (constantly changing) Excel sheet full of character stats

Just for the record:

obscure game mechanics and a (constantly changing) Excel sheet full of character stats

Is exactly out-thinking the opponent, and we are not even talking of a game where execution enters into play as Heroes is no Dota2, let alone SC2 or Broodwar

What you want isn't real outthinking, you want to feel rewarded for feeling like you out-thought your opponent, be it true or not
You are moving the goal posts. The point initially was to show that the current socio-political institutions are no better than "Wild-West" blockchain systems to avoid fraud and misappropriation of assets.

You are now talking about how much of a "real economy" blockchain can handle, which is a different matter and a totally unfair comparison. Let's talk about a "real economy" when people are allowed to enter a work agreement and have a contract specifying a salary in crypto.

If you or someone else here finds refuge in alcohol can you explain what it does for you that makes you find use it for refuge? I drink socially. Have been drunk a few times. I get nothing from alcohol. Clearly others get something out of it I don't. For me it's just a break from other drinks (tea, coffee, milk, juice, water) that happens to have a feeling I actually don't enjoy so much but sometimes tastes that I do enjoy.
I related pretty strongly to this. If you didn't, I highly recommend trying to form a tight-knit little group or two like this. It's really great.
@dang: You previously said in another comment:

> The idea here is: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do. "Boo $BigCo", "yay $BigCo" fan-v.-antifan cage matches are not curious conversation. We want curious conversation.

If you really desire that, then please consider making some fundamental changes to how HN voting and auto-moderation works.

I just saw a comment pop up and get downvoted into the gray WHILE IT WAS STILL AT "0 minutes ago": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24314105

Currently, every HN mechanism seems designed to make these "conversations" one-sided, where $SideA just gets to pile on $SideB with abandon and all $SideB can do is watch:

• Any user that piles on $PitchforkTarget gets tens of upvotes.

• Any comment that does not pile on $PitchforkTarget gets downvoted, no matter how substantive or thoughtful it is.

• It’s not enough to just not support $PitchforkTarget; simply remaining neutral is enough to get downvoted.

• A few downvotes in a row makes you unable to post anything anywhere on HN for several hours.

All this comes together to say: “When there’s a mob against $PitchforkTarget, join it or stay out of it.”

HN does not allow the "wrong" side a chance to be heard, and punishes users for having the "incorrect" opinion. I am literally afraid to post anything by now on such topics.

This is NOT a conversation, this is an echo chamber.
Is there even a legal distinction in the US? Germany has a somewhat complicated and sometimes surprising law around all of that, but essentially you can form a "company" without any official acts. It's not necessarily a company to earn money, it's mostly about liability, e.g. who pays when it falls apart.

I couldn't quite make it through all the memes, because I found them too annoying, but I believe that, at least over here, the Squad would likely form a GbR ("Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts"), which includes individual liability for everything done within that company. It's somewhat fuzzy what's part of the Squad's work, but essentially you could be on the hook for something your buddy does with your personal savings, without limit. It's probably better to formalize it and choose a limited liability company.
The one thing I don't understand about Apple's stance: why don't they let a device owner sideload things SAFELY on their own device? Something like the Apple Developer Account, but for free, and I get a certificate that works on a single device - my own - ONLY.

I still need to understand software development, and probably to own a Mac just to sign things and to upload them to my phone. They could even provide something like a web interface to perform the signing and/or notarization, so people cannot invent magical desktop software to make signing easier for random users.

This would effectively defeat the "walled garden" objection, but make things hard enough that 99.99% of iphone users wouldn't bother.

With the notarization system (is it applied to ios apps as well, I suppose, not just to Mac apps?) they could even prevent piracy.

That's something you can verify and fix, or decide to otherwise include in your risk calc.

But yep, after looking at the hoops verification folks are having to jump through to run safe contracts on insecure blockchain VMs, maybe doing something else with your $ can also make sense.
I have been Linux only for 10 years, so I cannot try.

I have used similar tricks with gdb to play a sound when some high-level function is called, can be really useful. However, for malloc I would expect it to be called so often that a human cannot hear the difference. Or the program needs to measure the rate and select the tone according to the rate. Of course it depends on the program, but at least if there is enough allocation to be worried.

I guess this depends on the country.
I have experience of European countries. As a general rule (lots of exceptions, probably) it seems that the workday in the countries in the north is centered around the 8-17 cycle, with lunch at 12. Countries in the south are more like 9-18 with lunch at 13 or later and dinner at 20 or even 22-23 (hi Spain!)
It makes sense for them to have light in the evening at the cost of some dark early mornings in winter. Not so much for countries getting up early.
Chrome is not the new IE
Some functional differences may include likely an additional required app for each (more app clutter), more clone products, shoddy knock offs, selling your product far above or below cost, stores without the infrastructure to keep your data private, no UI enforcement (lots of ugly Java), no subscription enforcement (call us and wait to cancel), no app stability requirements (constant restarts and sluggishness)...

Its not different. The issue you run into in both systems is that unless you have a large amount of specialized hardware, you will not be able to mine a block in your lifetime.

The number of blocks being mined is constant for the entire mining ecosystem, so you are basically competing with all the other miners to create a new block.

You're missing the fact that more space allocated to roads and parking moves the things people actually want to do farther apart, increasing the need for more roads and parking.

People don't want to drive, they want to get to places. That's the actual demand that needs to be satisfied. Cars don't scale very well to do so. You can't realistically build roads in cities that can move the same number of people as a subway line. If you did you wouldn't have a city anymore, you'd have a parking lot with some buildings sprinkled across it.
> This is no different than supply and demand in any other situation

It's different because highway usage is free. Demand is induced because you're giving away something for free. Demand plateaus when the costs (i.e. traffic) rise to the previous levels.

Image if SpaceX started giving away free rides to Mars. Millions of people might go. But what if they charged a price equal to the actual costs--manufacture of the spaceship, fuel, etc? The cost would be ridiculously high and only a tiny handful of the richest people would go. Those handful of people represent actual demand where it meets the supply curve. The difference between those willing and able to pay, and all those willing to go if free, is the induced demand.
Yes, starting with MKL 2020.01 release. The Wikipedia page has more information and references:

This is quite bad, since a lot of software relies on Intel MKL as the default BLAS implementation (e.g. PyTorch binaries).
I’m mildly disappointed aswell.
So one item on my "bucket list" is to write some math texts for either curious school students or people who home school, or for older people interested in learning math. And I think a good approach that I haven't seen before is to intersperse the math with the history of it's discovery. So kids could spend a chapter doing egyptian math. Then a chapter doing Babylonian math. Then a chapter doing Greek math with a ruler and compass. Then some more. And in this way, build math up together with fun facts and pictures of the historical places where the math was created. That's I love documents like this.
Looking at a relation between one human and another, I would argue that we can classify it as either exploitative (they have resources, I could take them) or creative (if I make sure they have the tools, maybe they'll make me a house).

In my little world it is hard to place someone on that spectrum without implying some elements of Machiavellianism/Moral Disengagement/etc/etc or lack thereof. I can't claim this result is obvious, but it is easy to rationalise. It isn't so much people being inherently good or not, it just happens there is a very fundamental choice to make about how to approach resource acquisition.
