>No. Real property doesn't work that way at all.

I carefully read through the rest of the comment after this sentence, waiting for the support for this claim, and feel as though I came away emptyhanded. I get that the shareholders anecdote is supposed to support it, but that came off as really fuzzy and unclear, and not something that directly engaged with my question. Are you saying there are no new buyers? Do you have any article that talks in more detail about the systematic relationship between shareholder expectation of dividends and their relationship to the switch from 20% to 5%? Or some elaboration on how the debate between shareholders vs executives relates systematically to the change in requirement for down payments in a way that clearly describes how it absorbs most of the gov funds?

I gotta lay my cards on the table, here. I feel like if any of this were true, I would have received a really simple, one sentence reply of "sure, here's a link!" that links to an article deep in comprehensive macroeconomic data, and not a weird meandering anecdote about developers carried not by any evidence, but mostly by the gravitas of emphatic personal assurance that just declares that "this is how it really works".
I didn't watch the show in depth but I recall a character on Silicon Valley confessing that she chose not to invest in Slack as proof that she wasn't a perfect VC (or something to that effect). Maybe she was.
efficiency is not a function of distance when there is no lose in the atmosphere :)

At the moment we are working with about 60% end to end efficiency
No? I think of at least one 19th Century short story from high school that had aspects of this, less the deceased leaving someone to speak for him, than a friend more or less volunteering. And one could regard it as a slight modification of the will-reading scenes in many Victorian novels.
I... don't believe this? Maybe parts of it are based in truth, but the explanation for not doing it as a video feels weak to me. I feel like most people would want him to show a video, not disrupt it himself? It feels like a fantasy.

There's almost nothing online about him other than his interviews, and all of a sudden this week numerous articles about him separately popping up? Something feels a bit off.

It's almost like it's becoming true because it's been printed? He can now go make a show or sell the service to people or whatever, and when people say "is this true?" he can point to all the articles about it as proof. It doesn't matter if it's true anymore, because now there's enough sources that it's fact.
Generally my policy with std::string and NULs is "don't, ever" because someone is going to call c_str() on it and pass it to a C API, and bad things are going to happen. If you need to embed \0, then use std::vector<char>. Of course, you do get the slight benefit that in the cases where you don't call C APIs you won't have bad things happen, but I wouldn't could on that.
I'm a Mailplane user as well and once (if) I move to Catalina I'd love to check it out. What would you say are the benefits to Mimestream over Mailplane?
Probs tech that can be inserted into your mind. like that black mirror episode. I mean musk is already creating one to do something similar
1. Not necessarily. Per se violations do not require proof of consumer harm, for example. Epic's tying claim against Apple is an alleged per se violation.

2. It was already established in Apple v. Pepper that developers had standing to sue Apple over App Store policies. The case then went up to the Supreme Court which ruled that consumers also have standing to sue.

3. Showing consumer harm may help Epic win their suit. But it's not necessary to establish standing to bring the suit in the first place.
Yeah, by the time I got to the third story I was waiting to read 'and then everybody clapped.' historically people use their executor to do this sort of stuff.
I’m not sure I like each tag being a function. It means the framework has to be upgraded any time a new element is added to the HTML standards. Granted, that’s not too often, but it does seem like a design flaw.
Seriously, write a damn letter.
Correction: Because the average of testing positive has dropped by 20 years. I'd more be asking about the faulty test results.
I disagree. Market saturation is absolutely determined partly by competition, and partly by how much consumers are , well, able to consume.

In terms of competition, we've seen plenty of alternative pop up recently such as Mattermost and MS Teams, both of which have gained popularity.

In terms of consumption, it is only feasible to really have a single chat application at a time, maybe two if one is being tested. Having more than 1 defeats the purpose of having an org wide chat. Maybe individual teams will choose their own in large companies, but the general assumption is you try and sell your chat solution to the company, not to the individuals. And so we have a situation where the presence of strong competition directly effects the consumption of the product (Slack's offering).

My opinion is that Slack was previously somewhat synonymous with company chat, but that is no longer the case. They peaked, and now that Discord, MS Teams, Mattermost, etc. are viable alternatives, their market saturation is on the decline. They let their grasp slip away, and they will pay for it.
Reporters sometimes tend to pretend they are novelist and get many details wrong (to put it mildly)

70% efficiency is the current state of the art limit for solid state based Tx. we loose close to 0% in the atmosphere and our Rx is well beyond 90% efficient.
This.

I come here just to say the same thing, it's a game changer for stroke treatment since for the ischemic stroke (most common type of stroke) every minute lost means millions of neurons loss in the brain that cannot be recovered.

Now there is a new procedure to "fish" and remove the blood clots that are blocking the blood vessels.

Anyone know the selling price for this portable MRI? I can see that it's not for any ambulance but definitely can be equipped for the special type of ambulance vehicles catering for the stroke treatment center.
Eliminating separate divisions for women, as many here advocate, effectively means shutting women out of many competitive sports. How is that that a good thing? My daughter, in high school, knows that she cannot compete with the best male volleyball players and has said so. Why shouldn't she be able to compete?
Mozilla has been recommending a copy-cat extension for ~3 years, despite reports from users and developers.

This is an unpaid recommendation. Why would I trust Mozilla now that they’re getting paid?
It's less about that and more that Slack has to compete with free. Twilio does not.
There's a test linked to see if you might be a super recognizer. It only used Caucasian faces. Insert epic facepalm here.

Because the image lack a graph of the number of test ? Because tests were scarse at first and only done only to people coming to hospitals and relatives and now anyone can pass one ?
Excuse me - but you made a wild claim, and have offered no evidence to back it up. A shirty attitude when someone calls this out won't improve the strength of that claim. Belittling the origin of solid research to the contrary doesn't do any favours, either.

Marketing materials are not evidence of consumer preference. If anything, they're potentially the opposite; if people cared so much, why is constant repetition of the message necessary?

Investment levels are not evidence of consumer preference. There are countless strategic reasons why companies spend money in a certain direction.

If you're going to claim that consumers are suddenly factoring device security and relative levels of curation-dependent application safety into their platform selections, in the face of decades of history being incapable of doing so, you'd better be prepared with more statistical power than "they spend a lot of time & money convincing me how insanely great they are".

The final nail in this sorry coffin of corporate malfeasance is that even if consumers did value safety to the extent of choosing one platform over another on that basis, this can never justify actively misleading the consumer and requiring that other parties participate in the same deception.
Ask HN: Is there a list of known software attack vectors?
Most informational guides [0] feel like landing pages and enterprise tools [1] often point to internally profitable reporting services and bug bounty programs.

Individual postmortems are available, but a public aggregator or database of information feels too high value to not exist. Should I be looking at books? I would think they quickly become dated.

I'm pretty surprised Apple has let it go this long. Without upgrades, everyone who made software for OS X before the App Store has been feeling the pinch.

It's hard to make money off of features you've improved substantially but most of your users bought four years ago. Except games, where you just change the name and a bit of the story and sell it again.
Does Amazon own the WaPo? I thought Bezos did.

Try again? I've been having serious trouble with my email list service (Mailjet).
It's decidedly not optimized for hello world style examples, but it's a lot nicer once you have a non trivial codebase, IMO.
I work about 25 hours a week at home right now. I started with a startup tech company and at first we were doing 35 hours a week but we decided those 10 hours allowed us to work slowly. By cutting down our hours we were able to get more stuff done in a short amount of time with deadlines and the pressure of time limits
In the same way that people kept dying after 9/11 from all sorts of cancers from concrete dust etc, we won't know this figure for decades, certainly until all longterm complications are known.

Do you count people whose lungs are at 70% then die of respiratory complications?
I guess my point is that they've been looking at things pretty darn strictly already, poking through our source code and asking for all sorts of changes, even between submissions (that's right—we'd just be sitting there minding our own business, and we'd get an email saying we'd be pulled from the store if we didn't address issue). And to be clear, we have never collected any user-linked browsing data or even usage data, so it's not like we're a high-risk addon.

If what we've experienced isn't considered a strict review, I'd hate to see what the next level looks like.
I posted this article. You might have noticed that I made some minor changes to the title before I posted it to HN. I believe this improved the likelihood that it would be read by others on HN a tiny bit. I encourage others to do a little creative editing of titles, but only if it improves the titles of their posts in some way.
Intersection control with cameras has been around for a while. Depending on the site conditions, it can be less expensive or more accurate to put a camera up on the signal pole looking across the intersection than a sensor loop in the roadway.

Power is not a huge concern, because most intersections are served by utility power. In most places, utility power runs along the roads, and where that's not true, there's often not enough traffic to need a signal.
This looks macOS-only, which is largely closed-source. Are you sure you're complaint is directed the right way?

There's a vast difference between record shape and property types vs business logic.

Storing a record with strong typing does not get in the way of business, and in fact it often helps by maintaining data consistency and integrity.
> If a random guy said “I’m a woman,” would that have to be enough?

The whole point of the "testosterone level below 10 nmol/L" was to provide a solid line on this so that the answer would be "yes, with caveats".

10 nmol/L of testosterone is right at the lowest level for a male and is WAY higher than normal for a female.

Quoting an article about the IAAF study (https://sportsscientists.com/2017/07/testosterone-performanc...):

> Among the 1332 females, 24 had T levels above 3.08 nmol/L (remember this is the 99th percentile in a previous study).
Of the 24, nine were diagnosed as having a DSD. Nine were found to have been doping, and six were “impossible to classify”

Translate "impossible to classify" as "doping, but we can't prove it so we'll get sued if we say it."
> We can have as many levels to our leagues as we want. As many women can play as they want. Maybe all the women will be in lower tier leagues, maybe some will be in the higher tiers. Why's that a problem? They're still getting to play the sport with opponents around their level.

The issue is if that you do so, practically all the women would be playing in a league nobody cares about. They would be dramatically under-represented at the top of their game. Separating people by sex allows to have world class performers of both sexes.
This is the work of AMD together with the OEMs.

AMD wins because it destroys the secondary market, driving up the prices they can charge for new CPUs.

The OEMs win because once you've put your CPUs into Dell servers, you can't just buy different servers and move your CPUs over (e.g. to reuse CPUs from servers that broke in other ways or were decomissioned for other reasons), so you have a higher hurdle when switching to a competitor. Payment from AMD could also be involved, because I think AMD has more to win here.

You as a CPU buyer, or a buyer of services that cost more if CPUs cost more (aka everything), lose, as does the environment.
That’s how it is in many places in the USA, but they often make you pay their own service techs to do it.

In my city it’s pretty deregulated. But there are downsides. Sloppy techs will cut competitor cables due to pure laziness.
I think the implication is if true false positive rate closely matches the reported positive result rate there haven't actually been a growing number of cases just a growing number of tests. I'm not sure the linked material validates this claim strongly though but I also haven't put in the time to see if it doesn't either.
Why though?

ZH is the only one willing to report things that others would rather you not know about.

If every so often they report something batshit crazy, that’s a small price to pay.

I don’t see an issue with linking the good stuff. And ZH has plenty.
I have and last updated it in 2012. I have no idea if anybody ever saw it.

I interviewed many people and never once found someone's website on their CV. I didn't try to find personal websites for them, but I did type their names on ohloh.net and github.
Why should I believe some stranger who just walked into the funeral? Why would anyone listen to a gate-crasher? I think this kind of service only works on gullible people.

"I'm here to tell you something that the deceased had a whole lifetime to tell you, but just decided not to."

Sure, stranger. Sure. Whatever.
The article reads a lot like a PR piece. The 100% accuracy claim in particular seems... unlikely.
How could he not be? I'm a little sad that that question isn't given in this article. A compare/contrast with that would be interesting. (Although maybe he's sick of that question?)
I don't follow that logic. His goal is to prevent the president from being re-elected, which presumably has a higher utility value (it's not like, if we'd had another, science oriented president that the death count would have been 0).
> 2. This intelligence was specifically of a compromising nature to President Trump

Yeah, that made me laugh.
One way to think about object instances is that they are namespaces full of partially applied functions, the applied argument being `this` or `self`; Python makes it excessively obvious.

The function that produces these namespaces is usually the `new` operator, its argument, the "constructor", just allows to set up the common partially applied value (and run arbitrary code along the way).

This partial application is not a serious problem; the mutability and the inheritance are.
Maybe we'll learn to like them watching us buy them..
I think you may have misinterpreted the code.

> Zero spaces is a number of leading spaces. If you feed his efficient solution a string without a leading space, it'll read past the end of the string and into undefined memory until the program either crashes or reads some arbitrary space character (0x20) from some other string. If it contains spaces but doesn't start with one, you'll think it has more leading spaces than it actually does.

I don't know what code you are referring to, but I'm looking at this code:

const char * skip_leading_spaces(const char * start) {
while(is_space(*start)) {
start++;
}
return start;
}

And this correctly handles the case with zero leading spaces. It correctly handles empty strings.

Recall that is_space('\0') is false (or at least isspace('\0') is false). Also recall that it is valid to read the \0 byte at the end of a string.

I find it a bit unusual that you are capitalizing NULL. My interpretation is that you are talking about the byte '\0', which is also called the null byte, and not the NULL pointer.
It may scale when you think it as putting yourself or your reasoning consciousness as stake in the system (instead of hardware or financial capital) by actively contributing human deducing capacity and taking responsibility once every 2-4 weeks synchronously. Android and mobile validation apps may also do their part in easing and scaling this thing to more users because of the nature of synchronous validation parties. I reckon Idena is among the most reasonable options when considering the "Decentralized Identity Trilemma".
There's a lot of great people in the .NET ecosystem, but I don't think GC internals are that relevant for most typical .NET devs.
ESP32 would likely be the easiest path. WiFi on the boards, and an available ssh client library.

But for a proxy, maybe you would want an actual microprocessor instead of a microcontroller. Pi Zero W or similar.
Water and electricity are, as you say, utilities and can't shut you down on a whim. But if you only have one source for lemons, and they cut you off, that's on you. Epic knows this. They're not just on iOS. You can find Fortnite on Xbox, Playstation, Switch, Android ...
He's the Hacker News Confessor, outing you as the creator of this TrimRead service!
Can you double check the code? I just stared at the code snippets for five minutes and couldn't find a single error.

The functions do assume the parameters are non-null pointers to NUL terminated strings, but that kind of assumption is pretty standard in C APIs. So other than that, I don't see any missing NULL check nor do I see the bug you refer to that occurs when there are no leading spaces.
So the company that repeatedly does bad things, and continually gets exposed as doing more bad things, tells you they're not doing a bad thing, you believe them?
It's been awhile... You sever seen a slow-mo of a water balloon being hit by something? There's a wave that kinda travels through it.

Apparently, lightning strikes do the same thing to the electrostatic sphere. One of the super interesting things here is that, if you measure the speed of 'wave', from, say, Altanta to Sydney, the apparent speed is FTL.... but if you measure the distance as through the Earth instead of across its surface, it works out.

It's also why (apparently) spark gap radio works in caves and tunnels.
I'm a second Mailplane user who would be interested in a native app, but I'm on High Sierra and can't use this one.

Benefits: this app likely doesn't use 1 GB of RAM. That's pretty much my only complaint about Mailplane (not blaming them; there's not much they could do about that). The native UI is likely nice, but not going to be the main factor causing me to switch.
Oh ok I understand now, thanks for explaining!
This may be a weird question and probably not your call but, since you work for Nvidia and you mentioned having worked on GPU drivers I would be curious to know something I have been wondering for a long while, namely 1) how come the Nvidia drivers for FreeBSD don’t support CUDA, and more importantly 2) what would it take for CUDA support in Nvidia drivers for FreeBSD to happen?

Apologies in advance if this is asking questions that you are not allowed to comment on.
I think the GP is suggesting that the actual case rate is lower than the numbers suggest due to the unknown rate of false positives.
> We already separate people into performance levels - why not do that irrespective of 'gender'?

In what way is a testosterone limit of 10nmol/L not exactly a "performance level" like "100lb weight class"?
Isn't that the case for virtually all embedded ARM chips?
However: Does Apple support officially other app stores on their iOS platform or allows to sideload apps in a convenient manner?
Wow, thank you for that, I had no idea PCR is this inaccurate. The process always created a very "pure" image in my head, and now I feel kind of stupid never checking how inaccurate it is in practice. Of course I'm not a professional in the area.

How does it happen on a molecular level that PCR delivers a false positive? Are the primers sometimes broken (matching not exactly what they're supposed to match)?

Typically you use this feature to associate state with an object in your render graph. For example, all of the render state used to render the sky, including shader program, vertex buffers, textures, blend state, etc. can be attached to the sky node in your scene graph. Then you can (basically) have a generic "draw an object in your scene graph" function that just performs the appropriate drawcall with the right state. The performance advantage of this is that the driver can do all the validation once, when you construct the sky object, instead of every frame.
I want the ability to run my own app store so I can secure more profits than going through Apple. I want side loading too.

I’m a little guy. Am I a bad guy though because I want freedom for me and my own customers to interface digitally with one another without going through Apple? Half of my customers have an iPhone and Apple didn’t bring these customers to me they were mine.
What are the advantages (for users) of using Gmail API over IMAP/JMAP?

I am clearly much more incompetent at my job than I was in 2019. My performance is much worse and this is very noticeable to my boss and anybody who tries to pay attention.

Working from home is hard in my situation, and I have all the symptoms of depression yet I'm not treating them.

I expect a huge part of the population to be in the same position as I am.
