One of the things I constantly see discussed (for good and bad) is whether or not to view Palantir as a way to make the military-industrial complex "attractive" to the startup world. It could be an interesting point as to whether Palantir is ever going to generate a profit, or if it's merely the government outsourcing some amount of software development, without making it seem as unattractive (to some) as working for Lockheed Martin and the like.
Not more intimidating than occupying someone else’s property, I guess.

Interesting. I only saw that as criticizing the institution and processes rather than the academics themselves.
I'm complaining about the time limit to send your turn in in multiplayer. I'm afraid I never played single player Frozen Synapse.

Laser Squad Nemesis (multiplayer, that game was never seriously single player) was so good that when I saw Frozen Synapse copied the simultaneous orders mechanic I jumped straight into the multiplayer and never looked back.

However instead of having 90 day games like in LSN you had like... 10 minutes per match? Felt too much like Starcraft.
> so much of what annoys us about advertising is ads that are not relevant to us

What ? How do you even decide what is relevant for you and what is not yourself ?

I never think about ads being relevant or not, they are always annoying. My attention is not unlimited and I certainly don't like others profiting from it.

edit: Well I guess we could agree that if I get ads and I'm in category "I want 0 ads" it is indeed a case of poor targeting.
Looks interesting and is definitely a required tool to show what websites are doing that average users don’t realize.

Sadly the really bad players detect that this is not a normal user and redirect to a error page.

You will have to try harder to fool them into thinking your headless browser is a real user. Probably your test device is in a server center and they detect the IP isn’t a end user IP.

Hope you get it working

Already back in 2003, Greg Wilkins, the author of the Jetty Web container and contributor to the Servlet specifications, blogged about some issues with Servlets:

- No clear separation between the protocol concerns and the application concerns.

- Unable to take full advantage of the non-blocking NIO due to blocking IO assumptions.

- Full Servlet Web containers are overkill for many applications.

My design fixes all of them and adds many features:

- It has classloader hot-deploy, which means you can replace the implementation while people are requesting things from the server for zero turnaround development over HTTP distributed across continents securely.

- It uses non-blocking sockets, concurrent lock-free data and async. network implementations to allow for joint parallel scaling (many threads accessing the same memory).

- It implements "transfer-encoding: chunked" to allow real-time server -> client messages without over-engineering.

- It has a distributed JSON file database hosted on-top-of HTTP so it can scale.

To answer your question specifically:

The Service.java is similar, but Event.java and Reply.java are different as they allow hold() and wakeup() for NIO concurrent async. features!
It's about ownership. I want to own my phone. That means whatever I do with it is by definition not tampering.

The procedure should involve repeated ability to add and remove keys, but require direct physical access to the chip, perhaps by means of a separate device that's coded to only work with your phone, and that you would never carry together with your phone. Lacking that, I guess "one-time event and then blow fuses" is fine too, though end-users need to be warned up front they're doing something irreversible and must be absolutely sure to protect their key.
Completely agree. Sure, any editor can be paired with static analysis tools to make sure I probably didn't break things, but only a full IDE can just handle the refactor for me so that I don't have to spend time searching, fixing, and checking to begin with.

No, I don't need or use all the IDE features. I don't use the integrated shell, I don't use the git integration, I don't have it handle my packages. I don't see a need for these things when I always have multiple terminals open anyways, but proper code intelligence is not something an editor+plugins can provide like a real IDE can.

If it were a social network, or dating site or disco I agree, age is a characterisc. For banking you need to use other characteristic than age, like 'low income, unsteady job likes/dislikes flashy interfaces' or whatever. And it doesnt mean that a few older ppl do not have the same needs. Large fractions of other agegroups might share the same characteristics you took from your target group. Of course if the targeting is 'is naive and cannot tell a bad deal from a good one' then I agree, experience with age probably spoils it.
From the article:

> Yet we know that language can also be present in the absence of sound, when we read... or when we use words while thinking — in technical terms, when we engage in endophasic activity.

> This simple fact immediately raises the following crucial question: What happens to the electric waves in our brain when we generate a linguistic expression without emitting any sound?

"Endophasic activity" is our "inner speech". A charitable interpretation of Andrea Moro's 16 person experiment is that they only included people with typical hearing. Experiments that target the atypical hearing cases may be crucial in understanding how the mind processes language. Indeed, the article goes on to state:

> Among the questions this discovery raises: What kind of electrical activity is elaborated in a language network (one that includes the Broca’s area) by persons who have never been able to hear any sound from birth?
There has been no evidence he hacked anything. Prosecutor cites him saying, "no luck with that" as evidence he did try instead of evidence he didn't.

The conspiracy stuff is also nonsense. Adrian Lamo logs show Manning contacted Assange with intent to leak. It is all selectively-selected and maliciously presented hogwash.
I love this game. Growing up, it was along with Civilization the most played in my house. On one of our first successful play throughs we got this soldier called Maria Smith. She started out talented but by the end of the game was a certified badass. She was a sniper but with high morale and tons of action points. She was our favorite that decades later I still name one of my soldiers with the same moniker in her honor. The pure joy we got out of her ability to make seemingly impossible shots stayed with me. I should give this game another go as it’s been a few years. There is actually a fairly decent iOS clone that I played, but for the full effect you need a mechanical keyboard and a beige CRT, I think.
Or, if you need more flexibility, some kind of out-of bound mechanism that doesn't rely on the OS that is booting and you are trying to verify. This could be loaded via some kind of internal memory card or via an interface that requires access to the board. This opens you up to physical attacks but you get a bit of a middle ground between security and flexibility.

Granted, we would also need to generate the energy to create hydrogen in the first place. I don't think we have many other clean alternatives for fuel.
When I was a landlord and had to evict people, I hired a guy who got a crew of day laborers to actually move everything out.

If you evict people legally - at least in my state - you have to schedule a 2 hour window with the police and they are present supervising during the entire process.

Also, the eviction process required at least 5 people to be present to actual clean the unit out depending on the size of the house/apartment.

There's also a service where you can hire somewhere to apologise for you/your company's fuck ups. I actually had a roommate that ran such a business. His clients will even issue him official name cards and an email address so he looks like a real employee, which they'll promptly burn once the case is over. Then they get to say that the guy that caused the issue has been fired and everythings all good now. Amazing guy, extremely resourceful, probably would've been running a successful start up if he ever found a way into SV.

I also find that I am just able to look at the damn thing. VS Code is festooned with so many bits and bobs that it’s hard to visually focus on what’s important. Everything is yelling at you (visually), even the stuff that’s handy but rarely used. I’m sure it’s all very powerful and that’s great but damn I just need to write code most of the time.
You don’t just knock on people’s door and start putting their things out. There is a legal process and you have to get approval from the court. I’m assuming they are doing it legally.

Here in Florid an eviction is a legal process fought in the courts, once the tenant is 'convicted' the landlord can use the police to evict.

Ask HN: How has Coronavirus affected your transport situation?
I am wondering what coronavirus has meant for people all over the world with regards to transport:

1. Personal - how have your views of transport changed? Have your preferences changed?
- e.g. I (London, UK) am now more likely to cycle or drive a car to avoid possible infection on public transport

2. Governmental - has your government changed how transport services operate or are allowed to operate?#
- e.g. London transport services were reduced (due to worker illness and isolation and additional measures required for sanitations) and people were encouraged to work from home.

3. Social - Has commuter behaviour changed in your neighbourhood?
- e.g. London initially saw a huge amount of working from home and therefore a reduction in commuting, but has started ramping up recently

I forgot, that's true. But it wasn't a big hit on release, I'd imagine the vast majority of those are bought when it's on sale, like the steam summer sale.
As I said below, when you do it legally, someone from the sheriffs department is involved. A clean out crew is often made up of day laborers anyway.

You also don’t have to be gentle with the tenants stuff. You just throw it out on the curb.

Edit: I usually don’t comment on downvotes. But why is a factually correct comment being downvoted? I was a landlord, this is exactly the process in my state.

I'm not gonna advocate for having engineers directly field customer calls at 3am (because that's a recipe for unhappy customers) but as someone who fields customer support calls/tickets as a large part of my job I feel very comfortable saying that a "sizeable enough to be a big problem" will not build systems that are supportable without engineering escalations unless they get support trying to escalate an issue or conference them in at 3am from time to time.

The fact that this type of firm even exists - if they in fact are behaving as reported (not just cleaning out vacated places, but in fact acting as enforcers) - is why i dislike American style capitalism. I'm not saying this firm can't exist elsewhere in the world, mind you. It just feels like awful things are allowed to happen here with justification being something along the lines of "hey, the market presented an opportunity, and someone filled it, yay America!" <sigh>

To clarify: I am a proud American, but am frustrated with how distorted life has become to allow business to supersede seemingly almost everything.
Agree on all points. There's a total conversion mod for the original X-COM: UFO Defense that is amazing, and being actively worked on. New updates every month or so. Hundreds more hours in the campaign. Set a few hundred years after X-COM loses, and earth is a radiated wasteland when some intrepid mutant gals start to fight back against the "Star Lords". It's called xPiratez. Rated a soft "R" for gratuitous pixellated boobage.

> who are vocal online

The problem with looking only at people who are vocal online, is that you only see things from a small bubble of people, and only the things, that don't get downvoted/removed by moderators.

If you looked at e.g. reddits users and their comments, Bernie Sanders would be on his way to a second term.

Since the article is mentioning ICE, and i'm from a small eu country, really close to relatively shitty non-eu countries, I know that what people say or don't say online is different from what people think in their heads. Being a developer here, and trying to find work in USA is a big pain in the ass... if you're a good developer, but without a formal education, might be even impossible. Even if you have everything, have a good resume, big projects, get invited by facebook/google/whoever, going through the endless stream of bureaucracy takes a lot of time and a lot of money (which is understandable, because hiring local is good for local workers, and importing foreign workforce means lowering pay, due to more supply). When such people get their papers, green cards, and work in USA for some time, their opinion on illegal immigrants, who skip the whole process (and sometimes even get praised for that) is a lot different than the comments you see on reddit. They might not say it there, but they say it here.

An eviction moratorium that does not include help for the landlords is one of the dumbest ideas of 2020. What do people expect to happen? This is going to be an absolute bloodbath.

Edit: I'd really like to hear what people think will happen when landlords don't have income for 9+ months. Or what they expect to happen when the moratorium ends and people have 9 months back rent. Just what, exactly, do people expect the outcome here to be?
I've never had any trouble discussing this with European and American colleagues or owning up to my own privilege.

But I can see how many Indians would find it awkward to talk about, especially if they think that the caste system is on it's way out because things are better than they used to be. Some might feel that discussing it with non-Indians puts India in a bad light.

To which I say, it's not me who's painting India in a bad light, it's the people who are discriminating on the basis of caste in 2020. People who say "oh, I'm only against reservation and those who benefit from it" and treat such people terribly. And we can only get rid of this disease by shining a light on it.

>IME a lot of developers don't like their IDE heavily coupled to backend servers and environments, but actually prefer the "code editor + useful features" approach

Personally, I use VSCode for generic text editing, scripting, taking markdown notes, general purpose review/browsing repos (e.g., opening up a project to review a couple of python classes), etc. It's nice for switching between a variety of languages and use cases. I like the integrated terminal, the directory search feature (so much less clunky than the equivalent Mac Jetbrains IDEs' features), the multiselect text editing experience, the ease of configuration, and the general responsiveness.

But if I need to do a deep dive on a language, I generally switch to a fully featured IDE. For example, if I need to refactor 10000 lines of C#, I'm definitely going to switch to Rider or VS with Resharper where the built-in refactoring, debugging, and static analysis tools are so much more powerful.

So really I see them as different tools for different use cases. VS Code is nice for my fluffier, tech lead work, where I tend to bounce around between fifty disparate tasks in fifty different contexts. Rider, Pycharm, CLion, etc. are more useful for me when I have to fall back into doing deep dive technical work personally.
Of course you can understand the consequences. I don’t need to know how to drill for oil to know that Standard Oil was a monopolistic trust.
